Game 1 Report: Demons 4, Uncle Bob's 2

The Quincy Park District Division V season finally got under way May 10 as your heroes managed to open the season with a 4-2 victory over a pesky Uncle Bob's bunch at Upper Moorman.

The MVP of this game, without a doubt, was King Karl. After year on the sideline nursing his pussitis with numerous 12-ounce curls, Grape Ape flashed the form that has made him a slow-pitch legend. Uncle Bob's had no answer for the Demons' savior. With a solid defensive effort behind him, King Karl dominated, dealing like the Texas Dolly himself, Doyle Brunson, against a bunch of old ninnies at a rummy table.

"I was toying with those last two dudes," King Karl said after working out of a seventh-inning jam in which he walked the tying run on base before coaxing the final out of the game.

I couldn't tell you how we scored because A) my kid had to take a dump and I had to take him to the bathroom and B) I wasn't involved in any of the scoring.

The Weamster had enough faith in me to hit me in the 3-hole. I went 2 for 3 with a swinging bunt and a bad hop single, but I'll take it. The offense struggled as a whole. We all seemed to be a little impatient at the plate.

All of the familiar faces were back as well as our new free agent pickup, Jim Dandy. He's our Alfonso Soriano. Too bad he's a Cubs fan.

The shenanigans were few. The unintentional comedy scale will certainly be down a bit without Ed this season. Ironically, the team Ed had intended to play for was up after us. They didn't have room for our old friend, who managed to clear waivers without anyone picking him up.

We'll be back at it again next Thursday, weather permitting. In two weeks, The Weamster's giving me the keys to the car when we have our first meeting with the Cooler Boyz, who are looking to go from worst to first this season.

Rumor has it the Cooler boyz have picked up a few players and went through some internet chat rooms to pick up a teen-ager to play third base for them. I think we should notify Chris Hanson so NBC can get on this. Or at least we may able to get Les Sachs to investigate for us since he's a little closer to home.

Until next week, when we go to 2-0.
