2 September 2006 - Mojo (and the lack of it)

ONES: 1B: Rickey; 2B: Horfun; SS: DT; LF: Rube; CF: Grandpa; RF: Heidi
TWOS: 1B: Indiana; 2B: Geok; SS: Sandman; LF: The Mick; CF: Swiss Miss; RF: Rugburn; Rover: Mary

Game One (3-inning mercy)
ONES: 3
TWOS: 14

Game Two (5 Innings)
ONES: 4
TWOS: 9

We played Indiana/Prof. Zen rules. For one team - The TWOS - everything went right. For the other team, everything went wrong. Balls popped out of gloves. Hit balls were easy pop ups (almost like they were in a children's book). It was sad. Even though both teams looked even on paper, the difference was remarkable. The TWOs just pounded the ONES at will. It was so bad - and hot - that everyone just called the game in the middle of the second one. Nasty bad. But, Coach stopped by. Didn't play though. Just said "Hi".

After a stop at Subway, and drinking at Joe's, everyone headed to bowling. Individually the Mick was amazing. Rickey put up a fight in the first game, but the Mick just sped past him with three strikes to end it. In the second game, the Mick still dominated. There were also teams (Team 1: Indiana, Heidi, DT/Seven, Sandman, Swiss Miss, Horfun; Teams 2: Rickey, The Mick, Rube, Geok and Mary). Team 2 won both times. In the 2nd game, when Team 1 had a shot at winning, a series of strikes by Rube, Rickey and the Mick put them away. To twist the knife, Mary rolled a strike in the last frame. Cold blooded.

Notes:
1) The Mick had the catch of the year. He went horizontal on a Grandpa hit and caught it mid-air; 2) Rugburn caught everything Rube hit at him. Some quite far; 3) DT had "the vapours" mid-way through softball; 4) Swiss Miss bowls in anger; 5) With Indiana on the lanes, it's feast or famine. He gets a strike or gutter ball; 6) Subway's vegetable supplier's job is in jeopardy.

MBP: The Mick
Gold Glove: TWOS (entire team)
Biggest Bat: Rugburn
Play of the Day (if not year): The Mick
