It happened again

It appears that the H-W Demons' 2008 season of Quincy Park District Division V softball will never end.

On Thursday night, we were able to start a matchup with Jenny Craig and Co., but we all knew we weren't going to be there long. With lightning everywhere and storm on the way, we knew the chances of us finishing the game were able as good as us seeing Shawny and Cooley-O both show up and play again ... in other words, zero.

Merely playing out the string, the Demons weren't into it. We picked our own positions in the first inning, making Hitman Hart the tallest left-fielder in the history of the game. We also had a left-handed shortstop thanks to Kriss Kross.

Despite the fact that Jenny Craig and Co. only had eight guys, they put it on us. They scored five runs off Jazzy Jeff in the first, while we did nothing in the bottom half of the inning.

At this point, it was obvious what was going to happen. There was going to be some tremendous rush to get the game in. 

DOB couldn't let us absorb another loss on our record, so he stepped in and did the only thing he could do ... pitch. After giving up only one unearned run in his lone 2007 appearance, DOB was shelled by Jenny Craig and Co. He walked batters, let them pound balls all over the field. The Demons were on the field forever. By the time the merry-go-round had stopped, the Demons were down 16-0. 

But DOB's move worked wonders. After the Demons went down harmlessly in the bottom of the second and Jenny and Co. did the same in the top of the third, the umps had to call the game since the lighting was so close and the skies opened up.

As a result, it's like the game never happened.

What will happen to the Demons' season? Will we get to play our final game? Will the Park District allow summer softball to go into the fall season? Does anyone really care? (Although, there was a gentleman from Paulie's Customs who was very interested in our result. Seems they get a trophy or something if we lose, I think.)

Check back to the blog to find out the Demons' fate. I'll also hand out my season-ending awards, if in fact the season is over.

Thank you for your continued support, especially the Demon groupies!!
