ONES:
Pitch: Indiana/Hassie, Catch: Yogi, 1st: Coach, 2nd: Indiana/Rickey/Hassie, 3rd: Swat, SS: Boo Boo, OF: Sandman, Mary, Rube, Horfun, Hassie/Rickey
TWOS:
Pitch: Prof Zen, Catch: Guppy/Gino, 1st: Heidi, 2nd: Princess, 3rd: TH/Generalissimo, SS: DT, OF: TH, TS, TK, Fei, Mrs Fei??
Game 1: ONES 11 : TWOS 14
Game 2: ONES 2 : TWOS 5 (5 innings)
The TWOs broke out some brand new brooms as they swept the ONEs in two closely contested games. Both games went down to the wire, and the winner was only decided at the bottom of the ninth. Neither side gave any quarter, and the competition was tough, bringing out the best in each individual. However, the spirit of SAS was there, and generous calls were given by both teams to their opponent. A great sense of fairplay prevailed on the field, and it was as usual, another great day for Saturday Softball.
Settling at home, the ONEs had a hard time coming from the TWOs bats, with the TWOs surging ahead by 7 unanswered runs in the 4th inning. The TWO's defence was on fire, with the left side of the infield stopping everything coming their way, and the TAN brothers in the outfield, catching every flyball in sight. The ONEs finally broke the egg with a solo run home by Rickey (the choice of "run home" rather than "homerun" will be made obvious later). The TWOs answered with 3 runs to take a 10-1 lead, but the ONEs rallied hard and scored 6 runs in the bottom of the 6th to reduce the lead of the TWOs to 3. The TWOs did not rest idly on their lead, and built on it, with 2 runs scored in the 7th, 1 in the 8th and 1 in the 9th. Not one to take a beating lying down, the fought back with infatiguable spirit scoring 2 in the 8th, but when it came down to the crunch in the bottom of the 9th, the ONEs only managed to score 2 before they were shut out for a 14-11 loss.
Game 2 saw the TWOs taking the homefield advantage. The ONEs still sore from their first game loss, came out spitting and snarling, scoring 2 good runs to take the lead. The TWOs answered with 1 run at the bottom of the 2nd and another 3 runs at the bottom of the 3rd to take a 4-2 lead. But the ONEs were not to be dismissed. They put together some magnificent hits to bring the score back to a tie going into the bottom of the ninth. Just when it looked by the game would go into extra innings, the middle of the lineup consisting of TH, DT and Fei strung together a string of singles for Fei to finally hit the RBI for TH to score and win the game for the TWOs.
It was one of those highlight reel game days, as there were so many plays deserving of recognition and rememberance. The first contraversial calls of the game came at the top of the 3rd, when a razor sharp three-base drive along the rightfield line was hit by Heidi. Ironically, her own team called it foul, and it was Yogi the bear formally known as Monk that called the ball fair, sending Heidi to third. The favour was returned by the TWOs when a similar three-base linedrive was sent shooting right down the wrong side of the leftfield line. TH could not get to it in time, and a relay was started from TH to DT to the Generalissimo to try to tag Rickey out at third. Rickey intercepted the relay (from watching too much soccer???) from DT to the Generalissimo, kicking the ball into foul territory, and he turned home to score. His entire team called the ball foul and asked him to "do it again", but the TWOs graciously gave him the run (primarily because we did not really want to see Rickey drop dead from heart failure). A check of the video-replay found that the ball was indeed foul. Rickey definitely managed to run home, but it was not a home run
Play of the day came from Rube's tying run at the top of the 9th of the second game. Caught in a textbook hotbox between 3rd and home, Rube outran all the fielders as they closed in on him, and as Rube has always managed to get away from hot boxes, a slip by Fei resulted in a late throw, and it saw Rube evading the tag by Prof Zen and scoring at home. The rundown was so perfectly executed, even the old coach would've been proud. 3 players at third and 3 at home, to box in the runner, and Rube ran the evasion perfectly as well. One of the best plays in the history of SAS.
SAS saw a strikeout after a 6 month dry spell, we finally got a taste of that sweet, sweet strike-out-beer from Guppy's swinging strikeout.

16 April 2005
ONES : Pitch: Indiana, Catch: Horfun, 1st: Guppy, 2nd: Monk, 3rd: Jason, SS: Metro, OF: Rube, Fei, Clement, Suwei, Grandpa
TWOS : Pitch: TS, Catch: Prof Zen, 1st: Rickey, 2nd: Princess, 3rd: Sandman, SS: DT, OF: TH, TK, Kin, Cheetah
Game 1: ONES 7 : TWOS 14
(Only one game played due to rain)
The skies were overcast for most of the afternoon, threatening rain. Streaks of lightning flashed through the horizon but we were able to successfully complete one game before the skies finally opened up.
The score does not really do justice to the standard of play on the field. As both teams put up great plays defensively and offensively. Due to the TWOs having their star player inconvenienced (read: pooping in the toilet), the ONEs took the home field advantage and the TWOs started off at the plate.
Though the TWOs hadRickey leading off the cycle and hitting his amazing fly balls into outerspace and DT popping up every hit at the catcher, the TWOs managed to grab an early 6-2 lead by the middle of the 3rd. However, the ONEs fought back strong, and put together a string of hits in the bottom of the 3rd to fall one run behind. They finally evened the score at the bottom of the 4th at 7-all.
Even with Rube and Fei's devestating bats on their team, the TWOs were held scoreless by the middle Tan brother's pitching and the strong defence behind him. Amazing catches were made at whim and the TWOs did not manage to dig themselves out of the 7 run score from the 4th. TS had a great defensive day as well, as many of his pitches were returned to his feet for a easy put out at first.
It wasn't so easy for the ONEs, Indiana pitched, and though he chucked in some difficult-to-hit fast balls with plently of movement, the TWOs hitters pounced on them with ease. Singles were the order of the day, and though the TWOs did not run as aggressively as the ONEs (and thus not getting tagged out on extra base steals), they managed to string together some good hits to score 2 in the 6th, 2 in the 7th, and finally 3 in the ninth.
Some highlight plays include, The Cheetah making a Willie-Mays over the shoulder catch (that we usually see from Fei) from a deep centerfield fly ball, ironically hit by Fei. Horfun getting on base every single time, burning the infielders with a combination of slow rolling grounders to hard hit gappers over their heads. Rickey trying to send one of his balls to Sputnik. Grandpa's amazing arm, throwing out runners at third from centerfield. TH dropping routine flyballs after his one week break to KL. Indiana, making a reflex catch off a hard-hit liner up the middle from DT. Rickey, making an extended stretch to snag a short throw from DT, and then dropping a well placed throw from Kin to allow Horfun on base.

Gold Glove : none
Biggest Bat : Horfun (batting a thousand)

SEVEN (the hat, the cross, the cig, the facehair and of course, the bloodshot eyes)
SWAT (the blacksuit, the guns, the alert eyes)
Guppy (The handsfree earpiece, the suit, the jetlagged eyes, clouds cos he's always flying)
Kyle (the dirty singlet, the bottle of beer, and the scarf)

I can't legally show the last one, until QEFTSG airs in june, but you can click

Btw, can you guess the characters? or rather who these characters represent from SAS?
These are NOT real southpark characters, I made them up.

9 April 2005 - The prodigal sons return
ONES: Pitch: Swat, Catch: Guppy/Hassie, 1st: Indiana, 2nd: Monk, 3rd: Generalissimo, SS: Metro, OF: TS, Grandpa, Cool Papa, Rube, Horfun
TWOS : Pitch: Seven, Catch: Prof Zen, 1st: Heidi, 2nd: Ricky, 3rd: DY, OF: Gunz, Sandman, Marvelous, Fei, JoZ
Game 1 : ONES 15 : TWOS 4 (Mercy in 5 innings)
Game 2 : ONES 2 : TWOS 12 (Mercy in 7 innings)
Game 3 : ONES 0 : TWOS 1 (extra innings)
Saturday saw the return of many of our prodigal sons. On a beautiful Saturday Afternoon, with the sun partially hidden behind clouds, a stiff breeze blowing in from the sea and perfect fresh cut grass, hiding soft moist earth, saw the culmination of the single most number of SAS from the old school, who have gone missing for weeks and for some, months.
To celebrate the return of so many who have gone missing, we played 3 games. Not 3 ordinary games mind you, but 2 mercy games, followed by an extra inning, tie-breaking third game. Both teams were very fair and the final game came down to the wire in extra innings.
The Twos played at home for the first game, and the Ones started off strong, pulling off hit after hit after hit, scoring 5 runs in their first at bat. The Twos fought back with 3 runs, but this game did not belong to them. After seeing 2 scoreless innings in the second and third, the Ones' big bats struck again, scoring another 5 to take a 10-4 lead at the bottom of the fourth. Relentless, the Ones punished the Twos again in the fifth with another 5 runs. The Twos had no answer and they lost the first game 15-4, a mercy score after 5 innings.
Inspired by the loss, the Twos rallied back hard in the second game. Finally swinging their bats and making good contact. The Twos took the lead in the first, with a 3-2 score. Both teams were unbelievably evenly matched, and many a scoreless inning was seens. Defensively, both teams could have been considered dream teams in their own right, and neither side gave any quarter. Finally putting together a string of hits in the 3rd and 5th. The Twos managed to pull ahead with a 7-2 lead. Somehow drawing strenth from the humiliating defeat in the first game, the Twos replied a mighty 5 run inning at the top of the fourth to which the Ones had no reply. Final Score 12-2, mercy in 7 innings.
The third game was to be the tie-breaker, and though players on both sides were exhausted, the standard of play was still top-notch. A 3 inning game would decide the victor for the day, but with both teams playing at their best, 3 innings was not to be. Almost error free, the first 3 innings remained scoreless for both sides. We would have to play extra innings. The Ones could not score on the Twos inspired defense in the top of the 10th, and it looked like the Twos could not score either. But with 2 outs, Dom on second and DT on first, DY hits a single into no man's land and Dom scores to take the win for the Twos.
What a day! Three brilliant games!
MBP : DY
Gold Glove : Sandman
Biggest Bat : None

2 April 2005
My apologies, I have been remiss in the posting of the saturdaysoftball wrapup.
Several factors are out of my control, and finding the time to post the weekly game these last 2 weeks have really been difficult.
I'll cut it short, and post highlights, roster and scores.
ONES : 1st: TS, 2nd: Princess, 3rd: DY, SS: DT, OF: Sandman, Gunz, TK, Horfun, Diana
TWOS : 1st: Indiana, 2nd: Guppy, 3rd: Swat, SS: Metro, OF:JAson, TH, Heidi, Seven, Mary
Game 1 : ONES 2 : TWOS 12 (mercy in 2 innings
Game 2 : ONES 14 : TWOS 15
Game 3 : ONES 4 : TWOS 4 (game called in 3rd inning due to soccer players)
Both teams look well matched, but the TWOS came out swinging, taking a 5-2 lead by the end of the first inning, and totally destroyed the ONES morale by scoring 7 runs at the top of the second to take a 12-2 lead. The ONES had no answer to this onslaught and took 3 outs to end the first game with a 2-12 mercy to the TWOS.
Game 2 started alot better for the ONEs. They took a early lead in the first with 3 runs, and maintained their edge throughout the game keeping the scores tight all through the game. But victory slipped through their grasps even after the first humilating mercy loss, and at the bottom of the ninth, with a 14-13 lead, the ONEs blew it away, letting in 2 runs for a 14-15 loss.
Game 3 saw the TWOs put up big bats to try for a hat-trick of victories, The took a 4-3 lead by the top of the third. The ONEs clawed back with 1 run to tie the score, but the game ended sooner than expected, as some inconsiderate soccer players decided to camp in our leftfield. We took to batting practice instead of completing the game to see who could hit a soccer player first.

"noooooo peeeeet! noooooo peeeeet!"
or
"queeeer eeeeyeeeee! queeeer eeeeeeyeeee!"
or
"eightyfive more! eightyfive more!"
or
"tweeeenty Ohhhh four! tweeenty ohhh four!"
here are my proposals.

Opening Day
Today is opening day.
Baseball season has finally started again.
The best way to open the season is to have a game between the Yankees and the Red Sox.
Even better, is to see the Red Sox humbled by the Yankees new pitcher Randy Johnson.
And humbled they were. losing 9-2.
