14 July 2007 - Who is John Carpenter and why does he know all our secrets?

ONEs: 1st DY, 2nd Horfun, 3rd Generalissimo, SS Nomah, LF Rugburn, CF The Mick, RF Cheetah

TWOs: 1st Gunz, 2nd Lili, 3rd DT, SS NewJohn, LF Cool Papa, CF WeiXiong, RF H

Pitching all time: Rickey

Game 1: ONEs 14: TWOs 13 (12 innings)

1. Generalissimo pulls the Jaguar play on WeiXiong, faking a throw to 1st and swiping him with a tag
2. TWOs were leading the entire game till the 8th when the ONEs tied.
3. 3 extra innings. 6 innings of solid defense by both teams as no runs were scored. Rugburn hit a triple down the line in the bottom of the 12th,
and Generalissimo hit the game winning RBI for Rugburn to score.
4. Cool Papa hits 2 back to back triples in the first 3 innings. He actually hit singles, but got on third just from running fast.
5. Generalissimo pulls a fake overthrow from Rugburn by dashing off towards the foul line looking for the ball. Cool Papa was fooled
and he took a step off the base. He realised the ploy in time and stepped back to safety to narrowly avoid the tag.
6. Cool papa CANNOT play in front of his kids. He had an MBP game for the first 6 innings, then his kids show up to watch and give
him support, and his game goes down the drain.
7. NewJohn had a golden glove day at short. Considering the awful, bumpy, lumpy, diveted field, NewJohn managed to not make a single
error off a bad bounce. He picked up everything on a short hop and fired at first to get the batter out.
8. It was a close call for Gold Glove as the Generalissimo had a stellar day at 3rd as well. He caught and threw out Weixiong 3 times,
no mean feat considering weixiong's speed.
9. Both Lili and Horfun had career defensive days at 2nd. Both made difficult plays and catches to hold runners.
10. Horfun was even more productive at the plate. She was hitting deep (deeper than normal anyhow) into centerfield for singles. In fact, she had a higher
OBP than Rugburn.
11. Rickey had problems catching infield popups. Two times, he made the call, overridding DT, and both times, the ball popped out of his glove.
Only Weixion saved him from 3for3 error day by picking up his third foul ball and throwing it to first
12. It was great to see Nomah again. We probably haven't seen him since the RedSox won the world series. He hadn't lost his touch on the field, but his bat was
definitely rusty. He needs to come out every week to work on the bat.

MBP: Generalissimo
Gold Glove: NewJohn
Ugly Play: Rickey's 3 dropped infield flies
DY: NA

Postball:
There was big trouble in little woking street when the remenants of the softball gang paid a visit to The Mick's place to watch a movie. We made an emergency food run to Subway to pick up sandwiches for dinner, then headed over. The Mick has done a nice job with his walkup apartment. The movie room has come along nicely from the last time we paid a visit. There are proper seats and pillows, and the projector and DVD player are actually working. Lush red curtains covering both doors provide a threatretic experience. We watched "Big Trouble in Little China", one of the greatest movies ever made that sucked balls. DT and H had a wonderful time explaining to Rickey and the Mick that Chinese do not actually have several rooms of hell in our apartments. We also do not learn Kungfu from young, and we cannot induce lightning from our fingertips. We can however, fly and gold buddha statues are required adornments in all our hallways. Sadly, Dom wasn't around to hold The Mick's balls so the entire night was a let down for him.
