15 March - Night Riders
ONES: P: The Cheetah; C: Burma Girl; 1B: Indiana; 2B: Jor El/Iron Man; 3B: The Mick; SS: Big Dick; OF: Rube, Cool Papa, Yellow Shoes, Red Cowboy, The Red Cowgirl
TWOS: P: Yong Yang; C: Rickey; 1B: Gretzky; 2B: Horfun; 3B: Handsomest Man in Singapore; SS: Salehin; OF: Rugburn, Superdad, 36, Anonymous Montfort Player #1
10 Innings:
ONEs: 11
TWOs: 12
It was a game when some of the old school players returned on a beautiful day when we had the whole field. The Cheetah and his Montfort gang showed up, raising the level of play as usual. We also had the return of Big Dick's son, Gretzky, from the Great White North. Finally, who was that pulling up in KITT the car? It's Hassie, with Mrs. Hassie and Little Hassie.
The game was a good one. Despite his initial complaints about his team, the Mick led his gang to a formidable 9-2 lead after 5 innings, getting 2-3 runs per inning using good fundamentals of hitting and baserunning. That's when the dam broke. The TWOs scored 9 in one inning and the ONEs looked shell-shocked coming off the field. The ONEs clawed back with 2, and then for 3 innings the game was tied. No one could get beyond one base runner, and then three outs. Going in to extra innings the TWOs finally pushed one over for the win. Overall, good day on the field.
NOTES: 1) Superdad pounded a homerun before an audience of the superkids who cheered him around the bases in the 9-run 5th inning for the TWOS; 2) There were six kids under 10 at the field; we need to open a day-care center; 3) Salehin needs to count to three; 4) Yong Yang was pitching like Santana. Good job; 5) The Mick was on fire at 3B. Brought back memories of the Jaguar (although no one can replace the Jaguar); 6) Jor El pulled up after running to 1st in the 1st inning. A shorter appearance than Brando in Superman; 7) Horfun needed some oxygen after a great run from 1B to Home. Good Hustle; 8) Cool Papa had a textbook throw to the Mick at 3B to tag out the Handsomest Man in Singapore (formerly known as Gil); 9) Good to see Hassie, the Cheetah, the Monfort Gang, Cool Papa, Gretzky and the Red Cowgirl. They need to show up more often.
Post-Ball Notes: The Lords of Death went rolling. DT, Ted and Lil' One joined the rest on the lanes. After Rube tried to take out the pin bar (the thing that re-sets the pins), and then left with Gunz, the rest rolled. The Mick had a 170 in the first game, and then seemed to have trouble shaking off some bad mojo. It was so bad that in the second game the Mick came in last (out of 5 bowlers in that game). He did get things back on track with the arrival of Sandman and Lil' One. Rugburn was a model of consistency, winning 3 games, while DT had four strong games. Meanwhile Horfun and Lil' One showed that power wasn't everything by putting on a lesson in spinning the ball. After four games, sore thumbs, and enormous amounts of fried food, the Lords of Death rolled out into the night. Rickey went home. Others went to find love, or at least coffee in Holland Village or Coach's Corner. The Night Riders roll on.

16 Feb 2008 - Its a hard knock life
ONEs: 1st Rickey, 2nd Red Cowboy, SS Indiana, LF Rube, CF Mick, RF Simon
TWOs: 1st Rickey, 2nd Burma Girl, SS NewJohn, LF Rugburn, CF Richard, RF DT
Game 1: ONEs 9: TWOs 15
Regular fields were taken up by poofs playing 'touch' rugby. So we adjourned to the alternate field. Ground was weird. Patches of dried out divots in the ground would cause the ball to take off in weird tangents. Easy plays turned into body-abusing hits. And one-bounce throws to home would end up in the catcher's face as often as his mitt.
The trick was to catch the ball in the air and take the early hop. Letting the ball hit the ground was asking for trouble. There were 4 incidents of the ball hitting players. NewJohn got smacked twice, once in the jawline and once in the leg, by a one-bounce throw from centerfield. The Mick got smacked in the shin by a ground ball hit by Simon, Burma Girl took one in the neck from a opposite field grounder from the Rude.
Not all was bad. The game was mostly ESPN replay type catches or ESPN blooper type plays. The bloopers all came from Red Cowboy's virgin debut at 2nd base, and the conflicting instructions taught to him by The Mick. Red's trouble with comprehending the American accent did not help much either. Hearing 'Hold' when the entire field (including the batting team) was yelling 'Home' at him.
The Mick and Rube took the tie for greatest catch of the game. Both hits, ironically, coming from DT. The Mick made a last-shot-hail-mary-turn-around-open-the-glove-and-pray-for-a-miracle catch when DT hit a hard fly ball into centerfield. On DT's next at bat, he pulled one down the line, but that was snagged by Rube with another magnificent, full-speed-over-the-shoulder catch that robbed DT of a hit. It was his best hitting day in months (some say years), and his hits were robbed by superb glove-work from the outfielders. Life is just not fair.
Richard is back from his bloody nose outing not so many weeks ago. And he's ever faster than before. He could not be thrown out at first, even when he hit a direct grounder to Indiana at SS. No matter how clean Indiana played the ball and made the throw, Richard would already on base. His nickname might be 'Mr Speed'
Biggest Bat: The Mick
Gold Glove: DT
MBP: Burma Girl (for taking the ball to the neck, AND making the play before keeling over)
Most Bored Player: Rugburn in LF. NO ONE hit to him.
Bonehead play of the day: Red holding the ball and looking at EVERYONE on the field, while EVERYONE was yelling at him 'home! home! home!'

02 Feb 2008 - Suckage
We came (half at 3pm, half at 4pm), We saw (the rain, the wet, muddy and sloppy field), We sucked (most of us anyway).

On to Next Week. May the year of the Rat bring us better luck (and better numbers).

First weekend of 2008 was a failure. Just not enough people showed up. We couldn't even muster a 10 man crew to get in a modified rules game. Such a waste.
On to next week.

Gaddafi says hello...
Dean Hooker was the man who made the greatest defensive play in Saturdaysoftball Tournament History. The year was 2001 and we were playing in the Inter-Faculty Softball Finals. The score was tied at the top of the 9th with runners on base. The batter hit a hard ground ball up the 3rd base line. Dean grabbed it barehanded and fired a rocket to 1st to end the inning. Least you say it was a pretty standard play, it wasn't. Even the Generalissimo would've had to had used his glove, so hard was the ball hit, and he made the play smoother than Arod.Anyway, Dean was posted out of the country (He works for the State Dept) soon after the tournament. We just received an email from him from Libya with the above picture.
Hello Guys
I was one of your periodicals on Saturday during the years 1999 to 2001. The blog is great I feel honored to be included. Wishing all of you a great Christmas and a Prosperous New Year and Chinese New Year too.
I'm currently in Tripoli, Libya. I hope one day to get back to Singapore and play a couple of games. Included a picture of myself in the Libyan desert.
