Six, Six, Sickety Six

Well boys, it's time to start over.  Blue stuck with Howard Red through 6 innings but a total of 6 runs won't get it done as we fell in game one 11-6.  A few double plays and good pitching debut by Ivory but nonetheless only SIX runs!  Game two was a different story but the end result the same: a Blue loss 12-9. Now for the sidebar, highlights, low lights and an early Christmas wish list:  I was impressed that our New York Italian Elder felt over the weekend that he could still come out of a pipe fight unscathed (How many internal and external sutures are there Chance)?  My wish list: A batting helmet for the next time I encounter a fellow outfielder (Jim has a harder head then mine); more skate boarding pads for Evers; 800 mg analgesics for Jr. as he attempts to fill out the lineup card; prophylactic bubble wrap for the entire team;  and for my good friend, R'Nealius, comfortable orthopedic Red Cross bedroom slippers. It appears to be Deja Vu all over again as in 2013 Deja Vu all over again so maybe I should wish for a roster of 36 men all over again. I have a dear friend who can relate to my last sentence so, those of you who know, please pray for him.
