I will reflect on today's outing, being the lunatic that I am, in my abstract fashion. Blue traveled to Centennial Park, Red's home field #1, (the site of several Blue's heart breaking championship defeats over the years) to play Catonsville. On the eve of this game I mused over Credence Clearwater Revival's "Bad Moon Rising" perhaps because it was a Super Moon night, or perhaps our team's lack of luck this year, or perhaps it was what I cooked for dinner. Nonetheless Blue "Took It To The Limit" and prevailed in game one 15-6. Our second game opponent, the perennial champs, Howard Red, witnessed the final three innings of our game all the while salivating and chomping at the bits to get to us. As I spoke with a few Red's prior to the game I had another thought...."Life In The Fast Lane" and we're in for "The Long Run" as I saw blood thirst in their eyes, (I can't attribute those thoughts to my between games snack as my banana had turned to mush so I only drank Kool-aid). Jr. had posted his usual Yankee's quotation for us, from Bernie Williams, that went something like this: "It doesn't matter where you bat in this lineup 1 through 13, we'll always have men on base". Well, Jr. finally found the right inspirational quotation as Blue came through in a shocking (THAT IS SHOCKING only to Howard Red) 15-13 victory! My last three "Song References" came from a Classic Rock group called the EAGLES prompted by my glee and pride in a fellow Eagle who played a stellar third base and once again hit from the Book of Tinker........Guy Stull! It has dawned on me as to why the CCR came to my mind last night.........The North River - "how I love thy laughing waters"! (That's an inside Eagle reference).
Let's hope that August has a Blue Moon and we are the "Classic Rock" guys!!!!!!!!! Who is it we play next Monday coming through "The Winners Bracket" together?
