The question going into this game was always whether Pop Pop
was going to be Pop Popping bottles or Pop Popping antidepressants. Luckily, Costco just started selling
Prozac.
A battle of early season favorites, there were a good deal
of die-hard fans (or more likely… haters) grouped around to watch this one kick
off. In the first, Sitch
manufactured runs like Vandelay Industries manufactures latex and sacrificed a
few virgins to put up 2 runs. Pop
Pop responded with 1 run as the Braddlesnake slithered through Sitch's fingers.
The game stayed 2-1 until the fourth or as I’ve now dubbed
it, ‘The Winning Inning’ or ‘The Not Winning Inning’ depending on your
perspective. The bottom of Sitch’s
order came up and Pop Pop got into a little bit of a situation (zing!). Leadoff singles by Ashley Carte and Liza Maula
got the Situation back to the top of the lineup where Jeremy Edge, John LaNeave,
Blake Kalaikai, and Josh Waldrop all had RKIs. By the time Pop Pop managed to get out
of the Not Winning Inning, The Situation had dropped a Lincoln on them.
Nick Schmidt put on his white suit and gave a Ray Lewis-like motivational speech which included fake tears, lots of yelling, and a presumed murder. Behind that speech, Pop tried to make a Frank Reich-like comeback in the 5th. Unfortunately, they only managed to put
one on the board as Doc Noc put a Band-Aid on a bazooka to the face.
In the end, it was too little, too late.
Final score: The
Situation – 7 – 2 Pop Pop
