Well, it seemed inevitable that God would have his revenge on Andrew for all his flip Jesus-related fantasy football team names. That it would come in the form of a nun and her team of bible-preachin', God-fearing kickball squad surprised even myself.
For those of you who missed it, we found out that it is in fact possible for us to lose our second game of the season as we fell to the Holy Rollers (no, they weren't named after Ned Flanders's bowling team) 12-6.
Then I went all Jim Mora about the performance after the game, but it turns out that Mark was correct, it was not in fact our worst game ever. That still has to go down as the 15-0 loss.
But I'm not going to be all negative just because I'm a member of the mainstream media. To spin things positively I would just point out that had it not been for that inning where we tossed the ball all around the infield and they scored like 7 runs it actually could have been a good game. We just have to remember that making gambles on throws usually doesn't pay off it puts you in an even bigger hole.
We did have some offensive highlights too. Among them:
• Jason can now finally stop having all his conversations about his new dog and wedding planning. He can now talk about the time he scored three runs in a kickball game, 'cause that's what he did Wednesday. Good season opener Crook!
• Becca was a perfect 4-4 at the plate, including an RBI triple. She is now kicking .833 for the season! That is also our second straight game with one of girls getting a triple, so who says girls can only bunt?
• Mark exploited the walk rule so his keen eye allowed Angie a free pass as well that gave us a 1-0 lead.
• In his second ever game Mike found his stroke, going 3-3 with a run scored.
There were undoubtedly some other good plays too but it's been like a week and they are not immediately apparent from the score book. So let's keep the good plays coming and get back in the win column.
