BS Summer '08 Game 1 Awards

Player of the game: John 'theKEG' London: did he hit well?... no. Field well?...not really. Did he pitch well? You damn right he did. Staring down batters and displaying filthy underhand 5 mph fastballs he pitched a fine game. Do you get a player of the game award for that...HELL NO! You get it for executing a bunt, while swinging as hard u possibly can and for re-introducing the long forgotten Babe Ruth running style!

BOMB SQUAD POWER PLAYER(s): iz3y!, KG, theKID, Alex: the top four in the order produced enough juice to power the city for the next week. 5 homeruns (iz3y-2, thekid-2, alex-1) multiple doubles, a triple and countless hard hit balls proved too much offense to overcome. Highlights included two ridiculously deep drives by theKID, KG consistently abusing the LF, and Alex hitting so well his mentor in Atlanta smiled!

Silent Assassins: Sarah, Malisse: Shaking off rough spring trainings they showed up determined to make their mark on the game. The did just that with some well hit balls and aggressive running. Sarah breaking up a double play and forever intimidating the other teams second baseman. Malisse displayed grit and determination that made her famous in colombia as a child prodigy before being whisked away and raised by shaolin monks.

Good VIBES award: Amy Hancock: I have never experienced the level of enthusiasm or energy that Amy brought to the field. Playing wherever needed, her energy was infectious. Thanks for manning the hot corner!

Most improved players: Ed 'theFENCER' Lopez, Luis 'theCONTINENTAL' Ugaz: These two never even picked up a ball before yesterday. Ed has dedicated his life to obscure sports like Brazilian Cave Diving, Barefoot Jenga, Naked Dodgeball, Fencing, etc....but yesterday he still displayed the speed and JAGER BOMBING that made him an Austrian Concrete Ball Making Champion! Luis on the other hand comes from a long line of football playing physicists. Giving up his dream to play in the physics world cup to play with us was hard, but he did it. Showing Jaguar-esque speed and agility, Luis dazzled the crowd and won over many underage female supporters.

New Nickname: Malisse 'lil MALA' Haarl. Does it sound like a gangbanger name...well yeah. But when u have luis and malisse hitting back to back it gets confusing. Besides yelling LUUUUUUU....almost sounds like the precusor to LOOOOSSSERRR!!! or BOOOOOOO----URNS!!! or as tricia calls him LOUISE! so lil MALA...welcome to the squad.
