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

BS Summer '08 Game 4 Recap

Fielding proved to be a key issue, on top of a lack of offense for the Bomb Squad as they dropped a squeaker 17-4 to Business Time.  The BS crew did start off hot, scoring 3 runs in the first inning, two of which came courtesy of another prodigious blast off the bat of Ricky 'theKID'.   What proved to be the costly lesson of the night was DEFENSE as Business Time flashed some impressive leather, highlighted by a stab of a searing shot off the bat of Ben Ricter by the BT shortstop.  "I couldn't hit it any harder if i tried.  It has been a long time since I have been on the farm bailing hay and tending to cows."  said DH, Ben Ricter.  The Bomb Squad did have their own defensive highlights as theKID gunned a runner at home and Kathy Gennuso filled in admirably at ShortStop after it was discovered she was a 8 time Gold Glover in her 65-over Church league.  With many call ups joining the lineup for the first time and the loss of their starting shortstop, defense was an adventure but they seemed to grow more comfortable as the game went on.

 

For the second straight outing though, the 'Colombian Dandy', Johnner Londono, had a rough outing letting his frustration show on the field.  Reports suggest that there was a confrontation with fiery manager, Iz3y Lopez in his office following the game but team officials downplayed it is two guys acting really stupid.  Iz3y had this to say, "I liked parts of our game out there, and I saw where we could improve.  I mean if we are going to compete we have to do better, toss better, hit the hole better, and generally have the mindset that you have to compete better."  When told that we were asking about the game and not that Bags tournament held before the game and specifically his reported back handing of his brother who failed to dive unnecessarily for a ball, he seemed puzzled.  "The game!  we are talking about the game?  What do you want me to say?  I thought for sure we would cover the spread...er ...I mean compete out there and we fell a little short.  We have a lot of new players who don't know the nuance of the game.  As for my brother, I don't know what he is afraid of...dive...lay out...what is going to happen?"  Iz3y then adjusted his sling and popped 4 Vicodin.

 

He did explode after he was asked if this was a moral victory of any sorts.  "Moral F***** Victory...u Play to the win the F******* Game!" , he shouted with spit flying everywhere. "Utterly ridiculous that you would think I would consider that a moral victory!"  When again reminded we were talking the game and not bags, he seemed embarrased again and popped more Vicodin.

 

The game did have some key moments for the Bomb Squad as Kelly McCann had the best game of her short career, and Luis learned that keeping his foot on First base is not always the best idea.  The real highlight of the game came in the tumultuous 2nd inning as Johnner, lept of the pitching mound like a rabid hyena to snag a sharp hit ground ball and ran to first to get the runner.  In the process he was, as some witnesses described, shoved in the back and told to get out of the way.  Johnner then proceeded to cop a feel of the runner's breast and returned to the mound.  This did not ease the team's pain of the loss, but Johnner seemed to have an extra hop in his step after that.

 

Before I do my awards here are a couple of rules that help me when i am playing! 

1. Swing like your boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband just starting banging your sister/brother/father/mother on your new Calvin Klein 800 count sheets and had the audacity to ask for a sandwich.
2. Do take a strike when you have a 3-1 count and the pitcher has not thrown you a pitch within 4 feet of the strike zone, and you haven’t hit well anyway.
3. Fly balls are pretty, line drives are deadly…Be deadly…make sure people are wearing cups out there.
4. Running to first hard is not optional…it is mandatory..Run like your hair is on fire.  In some cases it might be if you are caught slacking off.
5. Take the walk if the other team has taken 10 and/or has started talking shit.  Or, drive the next pitch into the pitchers mouth and you get a free round on me
6. Remember that behind you, you have another opportunity waiting to drive in runs…GET ON BASE and make it happen with ur wheels
7. Playing defense is not as fun as hitting, but it wins u games.  So stop the ball and get it back into play, yes even it means u have to get dirty.
8. Never call out ur teammates, especially on the field.  We are a team. Play as a team.  Drink like a team.  WIN/Lose as a team.  Besides at some point that person u yelled at will have a bat in their hands at some point.
9. Back each other up. U may think they have that ball no problem, but still be there just in case.  This works for in life too!
10. No one borrows our bats.  If they didn’t bring one, we give them a stick or a shitty bat and let them know they are lucky we even gave them that.  MEAN MUG…and then walk away

BS Summer '08 Game 4 Awards

PLAYER OF THE GAME: Richard 'theKid' Wojcik - Started the game with fireworks as he lifted a ball deep into left field for a home run. TheKid also shook off an early defensive miscue, to gun down a runner, make a few game defining catches and put 6 bags in the hole to rip Johnner's will to live from his chest. Also, it has been rumored, that GQ would like to put theKID on the their cover for next month. They have said that he has single handily redefined men's fashion with the 'Survivor Buff' and it is becoming a national craze. So who better than him to grace their cover.

Best non-Play of the GAME: Ed 'theSamurai' Lopez and Kathy 'Ghetto Child' Gennuso - these two teamed up for the most flamboyant non-play of the year. A screeching ground ball was sliced between them with no possiblity of being picked up by mortal hands and what should have been a simple base hit turned into a comedy. Both looked into the dugout and acted out the false dive that cost their Manager/Short Stop his season. "There is NO WAY I AM DIVING!" - ED!

The Hearing impaired Award - Stephen 'Andy from the Office ' Przybysz - first off I try saying his last name...serious...try. Secondly, it took me calling him sweety and baby for him to hear me and move back so that the ball wouldn't end up 300 feet behind him. Am i comfortable with calling another man baby, honey, and/or sweetheart...NO. But I LOVE THIS GAME!

Ozzie Guillen Moment of the game: Iz3y 'lil Ozzie' Lopez - Standing up for his players, Iz3y had a minor confrontation with the ump who insisted, even though we were losing bad, that we should not cover first base on a routine play to first because he could potentially block the runner from going to second. It was an infield grounder, the runner has their own bag, and we are the FUCKING BOMB SQUAD and if we want to stand on the bags and do yoga, we will do just that. quick note...i won't be spelling my name izzie anytime soon, but i might start talking with a thick spanish accent.

TEAM BUILDING AWARD: Alex 'theProfessor' Mendoza/Stephen 'ANDY from the Office' Przybysz - For leading the charge back to Union Park Bar after the game. That is team building people...that is team building. Honorable mention to Kathy for bringing the bags set, driving to the game and driving Luis and iz3y home despite being in the complete direction of where u live. U didn't win because...well there was no alcohol involved...better luck next time!

Bags Champs of the Pregame: Richard 'theKid' Wojcik & Ed 'theSamurai' Lopez - an impressive 6-0 record highlighted by 6 "BAGGO" tosses in a row by Ricky that completely castrated the Johnner. On the way, they picked up fabulous prizes that included a free lunch to Flat Top grill courtesy of the Sudaca brothers, Johnner and Luis. The only serious challenge came from the KG/iz3y combo, but ultimately, ED swooped in and saved theKID from the lashings he was receiving. The rematch is scheduled for Tuesday 6/24.

BS Summer '08 Game 3 Recap

well team we suffered our first loss, but we played hard...so hard we actually laid ourselves out on the field.  The game was not the best we played, but we played as a team.  We drank as a team, we hit like a team, we worried about our dumb ass shortstop like a team, and you all drank some more like a team! 

  

In the third inning of a game that was rapidly getting out of hand, iz3y dove to his right to try to make the spectacular play happen and pump his teammates up.  Oh yes, the game featured a ESPN quality stop, with a tragic finish as SS, Ismael Lopez dislocated his shoulder on a dive to his right, and is most likely out of the season.  Team owner and captain, Kathy Gennuso, had this to say,  "you don't replace an iz3y.  he is not replaceable.  I mean he was the heart and soul of the team, and ...wait...is John Kuehn available?  no?  Oh, well we will be ok, we will just have to play hard, drink hard, and persevere...are you sure about Kuehn?" 

  

The game did force people to play multiple positions and the team played pretty well after the inning.  Recalled from the minors for the game was Kelly McCann who was an outstanding kickball champion in third grade and had been a first round draft pick by the Bomb Squad, who was in the minors getting seasoning for the later this year.  She was rushed up in order to provide youth and speed off the bench.  Also signed was Jimmy 'Mij Mils' Banda, to a contract for the remainder of the year.  The veteran outfielder has bounced around from team to team, bringing a strong veteran presence off the bench.  Jimmy was a former outfielder for the Cubs of Michoacan, Mexico, before being deported back to the USA. 

  

Since I couldn't cover the whole game here are my awards as best as i can dole them out

BS Summer '08 Game 3 Awards

Player of the GAME: Luis 'theCONTINENTAL' Ugaz - i heard you made a great catch and showed extremem hustle out in the field.  Luis has steadily gained the confidence and swagger to wear a thong on the field and should be commended, and lauded, for this feat.  

  

Play of the GAME: Iz3y Lopez - not for the dive because that was just plain ass stupid, but for picking himself up and still trying to run the team sans an arm! 

  

Best Story award: Nicholas 'theSUIT' Cummings - very entertaining and informative player notes and stories yesterday.  Yes people he is a frustrated ESPN wannabe sports writer and future lawyer.  That is how we roll on this team...we are versatile! 

  

Best No show of the YEAR : Richard 'theKID' Wojcik - wow...what a game to miss.  

  

Coolest Glove award: Malisse 'lilMALA' Haarl - bringing a small glove to the game means she wants to be real close to the action...REAL CLOSE!  Bring that to the end of the year awards as we will be using it for an oven mitt.  Seriously though, a slightly bigger one would prolly be helpful, if u need help let us know and we can recommend one.
