BS summer '08 Game 5 Recap

Here we go...step right up to the Bomb SQUAD bandwagon...seats are filling up fast!  Yes, ladies and gentleman the Bomb Squad is a huge hit with the fans and with other teams.  Despite being in the midst of a 3 game losing streak the Bomd Squad continues to be a major box office draw and league favorite.  Attendance was an all time high as the Bomb Squad fell to the WS crew 16-6.  The BS crew did keep it close for most of the game drawing the game to a 1 run deficit, but again the offense stalled as WS went on a late inning tear.  HIghlighted by a massive 400 foot homer and a couple of line drive opposite field shots Wyld wrested control and never gave it back.  Shockingly though, the Bomb Squad was undaunted and so were their fans as they drew the largest crowd of the season before, during, and after the game.
 
"It is really nice to see people come out and support me in my time of need and absence....oh wait, they are here for the team.  But Johnner sux...come on..serious?  Wow...ok..well whatever...ungrateful bastards!" - Random bum off the street.
 
TheKID did provide some muscle slugging an opposite field shot and a pulling one into leftfield.  He has stepped up his game in memory of the loss of his clown Sensei, Master BO BO SHUCKY PANTS, a world renowned juggler, ballon animal maker, and deadliest balloon swordsmen in the world.  When approached after the game, his representative Richard, had this to offer.  "At this time, my other personalities would appreciate it if the public would respect our privacy, and our need to heal.  It has been very difficult, but there is no truth to the rumor that we went on some Malibu fueled rage streak down LaGrange Ave.  Thank You."
 
 
Outside of that it was a great outing and since people (AA) think my recaps are too long, let me make some quick notes.
- Luis played an outstanding game at first, and then later somewhere near Lake and Damen...unfortunately we play on Ashland and Randolph...look that up on a map to see how deep and over he was playing.
- We lost Steve to an injury, something Doctors are calling, a freak 'u should stretch before games' pull of the calf muscle. 
- Alyson Andrews came to a game.  She was the Bomb Squad's starting pitcher until a freak 'lame ass excuse' injury prevented her from playing.  Her support did help the team excel early in the game!
- Malisse Haarl left before the game.  Coincidentally, SUPER CHICK showed up at an accident site three blocks from the field (coincidence?) and saved cat from the third rail of the Green Line.    The cat was later sent to the Animal Cruelty Society which received a huge donation of $20 dollars from SUA earlier in the day. 
- I yelled for about 97% of the plays the first 4 innings...and toned it down to 22%...that means u guys are learning the game.  It was awesome to see people moving into proper positioning without help from the bench.  

BS Summer '08 Game 5 Awards

PLAYER OF THE GAME: Luis 'The Continental' Ugaz - that ball he hit...'she-DONE!' Luis took at least 3 hours of batting practice before the game, lifted weights, and had at least 2 1/2 beers (1 1/2 more than has his average). Luis also played a stellar First base before opting to move over to 2b/RF/RCF area which no one has ever played before. The thinking was good, but man did it look weird. Luis also invented a pill that cures male pattern baldness and erectile dysfunction in one shot, but forgot it five minutes later. (for those of u who don't know, luis comes from a genius family, but has to have the worst memory of any human being. I swear to you he will read this paragraph 5 times, because it is so long, he will forget it right......HERE!)

PLAY OF THE GAME: Johnner 'TheColombian Dandy' Londonno - Facing a 1st and 2nd, 2 out situation, Johnner fielded a softly hit ball headed between 3rd and shorts stop, and despite being 3 feet from third and facing the easy out, he wheeled around, summoned all his strength, and fired the ball to first. Waiting for him was Luis Ugaz who did a full split as he stretched for the ball. Luis spoke in a higher octave the rest of the game!

Fundamental PLAY OF THE GAME - Richard 'theKID' Wojck - featuring Alex 'theProfessor' Mendoza - For the classic example of why you should yell I GOT IT, when u have a play on the ball. The WS team hit a skyrocketing pop fly to shallow leftfield and alex came strolling in at the same time, theKID came barreling through, thanks to this streamlined buff that reduces wind resistance. Alex still no where near the ball, but eyes trained, was leveled as theKID first caught it, then lowered his shoulder into Alex's fourth and fifth rib. Luckiy, all the TaeBo Alex does prevented a serious injury. It seemed excessive when theKID spiked the ball at his feet.

Oddest play that needs Video: Luis 'theContinental' Ugaz / ED 'theGoldenBirthdayBoy' Lopez - Luis played Rf field, Ed played on another diamond. I mean Ed was our Rightfielder and the other diamond's 3b. Luis on the other hand played RF and 1b...and the ball still got over their heads!

At Bat of the Game: Ben 'Country Boy' Ricter - he used a pink bat...yeah...that pretty much says it all!

Ozzie Guillen Moment of the Game: iz3y 'lil ozzie' Lopez - In an attempt to remove Steve from the game after his calf injury, Iz3y attempted to call timeout. So when he asked the ump, the ump turned and in a disgusted manner, "When my back is turned it is obviously a timeout...geez." So iz3y replied, "He is hurt jagoff, i am just trying to get him out of the game!"

thanks for reading..

another quick note...no more beer in the park. They are sending in swat teams to crack down so we will figure something else out, but we will do something. This time, we need to know who will be coming because we are only buying for people who confirm they are in. We almost had to hire muscle to collect last time and that is not cool. Also, for those of you who need rides, lets figure out something that makes sense. We had people going way out of their way, and i am sure we can hook it up better. We all want to have fun, and so far we have been doing an outstanding job, so let's just get better with rides
