Game 5: Demons 12, Phil Craig Roofing 2
In a great dust bowl at Upper Moorman, the Demons posted their second straight 10-run victory and moved to 5-0 on the season to stay in first place in the rough and tumble Division V.
The Demons seemed a little flat. Then again playing in a friggin' wind storm with a 50 mile per hour wind blowing straight in at you has a tendency to take the wind out of your sails (ban pun intended.)
The Roofers are another new bunch to Division V. They looked like the had some ballerz, but didn't do much against the Demons. After the Demons plated four in the top of the first, the Roofers countered with two in the bottom of the inning. They were never heard from again as Grape Ape used the wind to his advantage, coaxing pop up after pop up and getting plenty of support from a stingy Demons defense.
The Demons even got a ultra-rare 7-3 double play. It's rare enough a guy gets thrown out at first after the left fielder catches the ball, but Shawny threw a 32-hopper to the bag that got to Big John Studd before the Roofer could get back to the bag.
Unlike the Roofers, the Demons hit line drive after line drive to move runners around. The top of the order was solid as Eric B., Jim Dandy (back after a one-week absence) and Kriss Kross combined to go 8 for 9 with eight runs scored.
Shawny's home run streak came to an end thanks to the wind (and the fact that the Weamster stuck him in the four hole). He was a mere 1 for 3 with one run scored and one RBI. The Weamster, who was a bit nicked up, also reached safely in all three of his at-bats and drove in three runs.
DOB was clearly out of it again. A stud last season, DOB has been ordinary in his third tour of duty with the Demons. He was just 1 for 2 and was doubled off first base on a line drive back to the pitcher. He also forgot the freakin' scorebook. What a dope. He's now hitting 8 for 14 with three runs scored and seven RBI. He may as well hit last as poorly as he's been playing.
The Demons have a well-deserved bye next week to rest up for a big clash with the Merry Beavers on June 21. You'll have to get the Hitman Hart's account from that game because DOB will be on a work-related trip that week. The Demons were 2-0 without DOB in 2006. The way he's been playing, they certainly won't miss him against the Beavers.
Until the 21st. Make sure you get plenty of 12-ounce curls in between now and then.

Finally, DOB comments honestly on his below-average softball skills. In case any of the readers of this blog haven't been to any of the games, (and I'm sure thats not many, we're talking about a QPD div. five softball team here) DOB fills in a roster spot admirably, but that's it. Good thing for his playing time that he's an employee. The highlight of the guy's season is an appeal call during the week four game? There would be tryouts necessary for him to attain the catcher position on the 0-4 US Cooler team!
Honestly, DOB seems to be a pretty decent guy, but unfortunately, seems to have a severe case of sportswriteritis, defined as "a medical disorder in which the subject, usually short white males with no natural athleticism choose a career path which affords one the opportunity to write malicous comments about athletes clearly above their skillset (with the exception of Josh Rabe, who obviously is a god among mortals, and should be revered at all times)
At least DOB has the nads to put his name on his posts - unlike you and me.
Anonymous at 1:48, you're such a hero. You're obviously so much better than DOB, since you're sitting and watching QPD softball games rather than playing in them.
Go play in traffic.
Wow. Gotta love the bitter Demons posts. For a minute, I thought I was reading The News Critic blog ...
