Pots and I are going at it on Potatoes bday. Tourney preparation, game one:
Gantry CA - 19, 14 HRs
Potsie DT - 17, 16 HRs
Most ugly game, I score 10 in the first and it was 18-15 after 5 innings. Potatoes goes 3-5 with 2 dingers, expect a little more for his birthday. Must be drunk...
After reading this thread, Lipitz comes right over from work. And it pays off:
Lipitz BO - 14, 13HRs
Gantry DET - 13, 7 HRs
Pretty ugly game. Lips accidentially brings in Sullivan for Barrett and he goes 0-5. Still pulls the win over the weak-swinging Gantry...
Potsie and Lips up next...
What a game!
Lipitz BO - 15, 11 HRs
Pots CA - 14, 10 HRs
Walk-off homer by Don Baylor, three run blast. Lipitz hit about 100 foul balls that game, irking Potsie. Time to redeem...
Dah-Nah!!
The BoSox train has derailed. Oh well, it was an overall good day for me...considering I haven't played in awhile. Well, the last game was nuts of course. Typical style between Gantry and I. Gantry had me on the ropes for like 3 innings. I was down by like 10, then 9, then 12 or so...in the mid-innings. But I came back late...and hit 2 homers and 4 runs in the bottom of the ninth to tie the game. And then came my pivotal decision. I was in the bottom of the inning tied, and I had Hendu batting in the 8th spot. He sucked all day, along with all my other subs - I just couldn't do anything with my subs today. I'll need to improve my sub-play for the tourney. Anyways, what do I do? Having a feeling, I sub Sullivan in...who I just voted for the worst sub in RBI. I went do or die with Ol' Sully. And of course...he did nothing. Gantry and I went to the tenth, and I lost 28-24.
Sully finished a sweet 0-7 today. STUD!!!!
Gantry (Ca) 28, 24 HRs
Lips (BoSox) 24, 17 HRs
Oh yeah...
I subbed Sully in with two outs in the ninth, with two strikes.
Chubbs and I gotta try some straight pitch one of these nights.
And some curve, especially if I can convince my wife to let me fly to Chicago. ;)
