Ok, we lost.
More accurately, we were given a two run head start and lost.
Even more accurately, we were given a two run head start and lost 11-4.
I think Sacrilicious's guys each had at least one home run. It was ridiculous. I don't know why they are so much better than us because they certainly don't look it. Why can one team of losers hit everything so well while another team of losers can only hit pop-ups and soft grounders?
I can't explain it.
It was such a sad performance, that a game ball wasn't even awarded. On the plus side, this means there will be two game balls next week and, as was stipulated after the game, the winner of the the double shot is REQUIRED to shoot them both down no matter their sensory, moral, religious or allergic opposition to such an act.
Also, next week will be the last game of the season. The Solid Gold Hits will take the summer off to think about what they've done, but will (hopefully) ride again in the fall. This means it's time for the post-season celebration and awards banquet...which will most likely happen before and/or after next week's game.
Unfortunately, that game is against Old Skool who we have absolutely no chance of beating.
The Hits stuck around after their loss last night to pound beers, eat pizza and watch Old Skool defeat the Luck Dragons to claim the league title.
Since everything is locked up and we have no chance of beating Old Skool, we are in talks with them to make two new teams out of our existing teams for next week's game. Let me know how you feel about that.
If we want to stick together as a team and get killed, I'm totally cool with that.
If we want to combine teams in an effort to play a more competitive game, I'm totally cool with that too.
Just let me know how you feel and I'll let Old Skool know.
Thanks and be on the look out for emails about the end of season celebration and awards banquet.

FYI-The OS guys plan on being consciously challenged by game time.
I think Sacrilicious's 1 HR/player ratio has something to do with their space age bats. I'm sure you noticed the sound those bats make -- a gentle 'ping' that sends the ball 400 feet every time. That's why I'm looking forward to next season, when we'll all be playing with the same wooden sticks.
Sacrilicious is notorious for that. The last game of the fall season in the "lower" D league, they pulled out an Easton Synergy and hit two homers off us. All the ump could say when we pointed out that they were using a totally illegal bat was "oops". There was at least one more team using an Easton Synergy in our league this spring too (and I know it's not Old Skool, ours is cracked), so having equal bats might be nice. Swinging a 20 year old, 38 ounce bat that Ron pulled out of the closet I'm sure will be a treat.
I love the mix-up team idea, although if the OS guys are as drunk as we plan on being, we might be totally worthless and maybe SGH should just keep their own team and beat us. Let us know.
