Red and Blue and Ocher

Surprisingly after last night's storms there was no 7 A.M. postponement call so Blue met at the appointed time at the park n ride to include Mike P.  I drove Evers and Guy to the Park; I only mention this because of our conversations on the way which will appear to be relevant later. From this picture you can see the worry , anxiety and stress we felt while awaiting to go against Red.

  It was a close call to make for the defensive gem of the day between Freddie P and Jerry B in the OF but the nod has to go to Jerry (although you can see how uptight the youngster was).  Third, fourth and fifth place defensive plays go to Evers, Chance and Tinker.  Evers recited his Georgia Tech football playing experiences where he felt he was at times a tackling dummy.  Evers ability to take a hit came into play today as he absorbed a hit tagging a base runner out at 3B and also used his scrambling QB feet to beat another runner to the bag. Chance, playing before his birthday bride, daughter and grandchildren went 2 for 3 and played an excellent first base to include a swinging tag of a runner from a SS's throw that was a tad down the line.  Tinker's dive to snag a hit up the middle still has him soaking his now Ocher colored jersey in Oxy Clean and his buff body in the jetted tub (to Mike S and Mike B--I'll give you a two-for-one laundermat deal).  In the absence of 6.95 I wish to thank him for the loan of his shoes but need to tell you Tommy that they are too tight and pinch my feet!  Post game, my bowling partner, Murph, mentioned that the FRIMUR boys helped carry the team offensively today (combined 8 for 10) which only brought to my mind, "They ain't heavy, they're our Blues Brothers".  With my impending one week hiatus, I hope that taking a week off will enable me to replicate the performance of another sabbatical brethren who rejoined us today.  How can I not mention the SPEED exhibited by our own Rev. Jim P. As for the other half of J Squared; Jr.,
ain't it great to be sitting in the Cat Bird seat devising a lineup with this group of Prima Donas.
Now: who is it we play Wednesday?   By the way, we split with Howard Red 2-12 and 9-5.
Anybody remember the Who's Rock Opera, "TOMMY", with the Pickle Ball Wizard?  Tommy, WHO?
