Road kill
After the big win over the Mules, who I was told were undefeated last season in winning Division III, we had a special visitor to our game this week against Budweiser.
Our version of Mark Cuban, Hitman Hart, and his lovely bride, SheyFey, made an appearance to see how their investment in the Second Stringers is paying off. At least the new ownership brought booze because the Second Stringers needed it.
The old Budweiser frogs or maybe Spuds McKenzie could have given the Budweiser squad a better game than the Second Stringers did. The beer vendors smacked us around to the tune of a 23-8 defeat that didn't even last four full innings.
The highlights for the Second Stringers were few. Cory in the House did manage a three-run inside-the-park homer at Moorman Main. And that was about it.
After watching the Mules reach the Division IV home run limit last week, the Second Stringers are hoping for a triples limit to be installed by the time they next cross paths with the Suds Suckers. Budwesier had no less than 12 triples (and I'm not exaggerating). The Bud runners were in constant motion.
The tone for the game was set in the top of the second inning when DOB was once again robbed by the boys in blue. He was called out on a 6-4-3 double play. DOB is deaf in one ear, but he clearly heard his foot hit the bag well before the first basemen come up with the ball. As usual, the crack QPD umpiring crew (come on, Dollar Bill!) saw it differently and called him out.
It was a huge letdown that the Second Stringers never recovered from.
Now 1-2 on the season, the Second Stringers are back in action next week against the One crew. It's a 9 p.m. start. Looking forward to taking on former TV pretty boy Tyler Tomlinson, current pretty boy "Stone Cold" Dylan Austin and NOB Nation in that one.
