Ah, the profound words of John Bender from The Breakfast Club. This could have been our team name.
Speaking of movies, it is like Groundhog Day every Tuesday night and Wednesday morning for me. We lose a game, have a great postgame and I can't sleep. I have realized that it is not the losing that contributes to my lack of sleep , but rather, the one or two too many beers.
For those of you not present, we lost the game 11-0 and set a league record for quickest game time. We let up 6 runs in the first inning and held them to 5 more over the next four innings. Melchiorre's lofty pitching was a highlight as we had many popups and ground balls during the game (some of which were actually caught). Hitting was not a highlight with Otsuka having our only hit.
I will take full credit for having such a great postgame. This is not because we had it in my backyard. It is because much of the chop busting centered on my overthrow to my brother at 1B that landed in Lake Michigan, which my niece had to retrieve (and was painfully viewed by a wife, a good friend, two sisters-in-law, two offspring, and four nieces and nephews). I may change my mind about my demotion because that would leave everybody without any comedy material.
The "two" many beers for me was my walk back to Howard with a plastic cup and a couple of pops in my hoodie to see the Hitmen play Keefe (Team Orange). We have something in common with the Hitmen - we both had 17 dropped on us in an inning by Team Orange.
We play the Hitmen next week. Now that I'm done with my one month professional retirement, it figures I have to be in NY for work next week and miss this game. The Hitmen are a great bunch of guys and I'm sure it will be a good postgame in the alley.
Let me know if you are in or out next week.
Fortier, you are the beer vendor next week.
