11,10,9........Glen Burnie Recap

It took eleven innings for Blue to score ten runs to defeat Glen Burnie (nine) in today's opener.  Stellar pitched game by Mike S going for the complete game.  I suspicion that our infield intentionally allowed three balls to pass through their legs to setup five double plays.  As the sun returned and the humidity rose both teams seemed to be gasping a tad in game two.  With Freddie taking the mound, Blue's defense stifled the visitors.  After witnessing the impervious outfield play of Blue, Glen Burnie  (silly boys) challenged our infield only to witness four more double plays.  Once again the paid attendance was zero (nada, nil, zip)  but the comped crowd was outstanding!  Half of Minnesota's population made the trek to MD to witness their relative's performance.  Speaking of Chance, I assume you all saw that he couldn't hit my "stuff" in batting practice! Five straight now with Greenbelt coming up Wednesday (pack your over-night bag with rations to see you through).  Oh, incidentally, game two score was Blue 11 Glen Burnie 4. (Hurry back Neal or get me a scooter to cover your position:  JB -- how much do you want for that Hot Tub?) (Aside to T.H.- word for the day is reciprocity - my turn to receive a deep tissue massage, but no Ben Gay where it hurts!). Chance, as Equipment Manager, please order more bubble wrap for Evers and some plaster of Paris for Tinker.  Well wishes go out to Tim S. and "Big John" who is undergoing yet another surgery today.
