With 2 rounds of Beers happening on Saturday, there was sure a lot of action. The most notable being the first game of the day for the Beers against the dead Kennedy's. JFK's captain Bryan Freed offered a suggestion that the game be played by "gentleman's game" rules earlier in the week. The Beer's discussed it in their Facebook group page and it was approved! All girls play infield, all girls at the top of the line up, and all guys kick away. Fun times! What the heck, right?! Little did they know that the Beer's, although mostly drunk and bumbling at most games...ok, all the games...they have a hell of a women's squad! Andrea Hoffman, Laura Nelson, Crystal Tanner, Karen "Silent Killer" Savell, and Angie Jean held down the infield while all the guys stepped back and enjoyed goggling at all the lady butts in front of them. Yes ladies, that's why the guys were so quiet back there, and its the SAME reason why all the guys are in back of Zumba, Aerobics classes!!! Now you know... Yep, the men were a little distracted, but not enough miss catching balls out there. The Beers were enjoying farting around and even showed off their new Beer duds.
Bad ass threads, Beers!!! Awesome job, Andrew Schlichte!
Sterling Wilcox took the mound for JFK and did an outstanding job! That girl's got an arm! She didn't give up a single walk, which is more that I can say for the Silent Killer. It took a while for her to warm up, but after a few adjustments, she got on track for the Beers. MVPeter Kuhr told her that every time she walks someone, a kitten dies. Sadly, she killed one....but a few innings later, she brought that sucker back to life as she caused a kicker to foul out. BOOM!
The Silent Killer winding up for her famous Mush Ball pitch...DAMN, that's a bad hat!
The Beer's and JFK were so busy screwing around that they didn't notice that the Beer's were ahead until the final inning. AHEAD??! AHEAD!!! Thanks to some fantastic moves by Crystal Tanner at the catching position and Angie Jean as charger, they worked in tandem to get those lady runners out. Crystal made a few sweet moves by kicking the ball towards first base for a nice out and then actually kicking it and hitting the runner before they made it to first. The girl has an accurate boot, let me tell ya! For the final clincher clutch play, Angie Jean stepped up and made some awesome Beer moves. With one out and a runner on first, the ball was kicked away right between the pitcher and short stop/ charger position as a fast line drive. Angie ran to the left to grab it by her fingertips for the catch. The guy at first was running to second before he realized it was caught, and Angie ran him down for the tag. Double play, game over! The Beers win!!! Dang it, they had such an awesome losing streak going...the record is broken. The Beers get their first win.
Just a little bit of encroachment there, Crystal...
I'd like to put in a few good words about this game. In the final inning, there was some controversy. Bryan Freed stepped up and told his team to play by the rules that they started with. Their players questioned it, got ticked about it, but did as Mr. Freed commanded and it was done. I don't care what "Manny" Anderson says... Bryan Freed is a true gentleman and has wonderful sportsmanship, and is honor bound in all aspects of the game. He stuck to the rules that he suggested even though in the final inning he knew his team might lose. Mr. Freed, we bow to your greatness! ;) I'm just kidding about Manny...it was Jesse Jones that said it...OK, .ok, it wasn't anybody
OK, second round of Beers anyone? Anyone? Well, the Beers got back to their regular business of losing big time when they played Panik Attack. They were trying to pace themselves but once Beer-30 comes around it's hard to stop. Filling up with beer, rum and coke, and hot fireball cider, the Beers started to feel at home again: Partying like a Rock Star!!! Oh, and there is a game going on.... Panik pretty much whipped the crap out of the Beers in the first inning, so it was kick away time again for the rest of the game. I think everyone made a catch in that game, there were so many kick aways. I don't know, things were kind of fuzzy at that point. I DO remember Wesley McClain pitching and Bryan Pena kicking the ever living sh** out of the ball over left field and into Field 1 for an awesome triple!! Then MVPeter Kuhr kicked a single and Pena ran in for the 2nd and final score for the Beers. What the??! Where did THAT come from??! At the post-game conference, he stuck around to answer a few questions about his performance. Bryan is quoted as saying, "No matter what anybody says, I haven't to my knowledge used any deer antler spray to improve my kicking. But I HAVE been working with our team captain Trici Frederick all during the week. She's been helping me to pace myself so I don't get too hammered during or before big games. We've been meeting at bars every night so she can show me how to sip slowly. All I've ever known is the SLAM, baby!! But, yeah, she's helped me out a lot, and that's why I only saw 1 ball coming at me during that pitch instead of 3 or 4. So I owe it all to her! Thanks, Trici! Actually she paid me to say all that so now she owes me..."
All right, blah, blah, blah... Beers rock, 1 win, 1 loss, F*** THIS, LET'S DRINK!!!!
