Softball: A Brief Sampling in Athletic Historiography

Dear People,

My team destroyed Anthony's 27-10, and so we must once again turn to the dismal craft of interpretive clobbernomics to discover what went so horrifically wrong with his utterly disgraced contingent. A tempting place to start might be our respective pitchers, since the fact is that while my team had the well-seasoned Steve “sinking balls” Bedrick, the Antman's peeps found themselves without an obvious counterweight (Sadly, none of our other community hurlers were even present at the game). Still, Stefano filled in the entire match with courage, vision and a surprisingly robust control of both throw and follow-through, and thus if it weren't for the fact that he gave up 103 hits, I'd call his pitching debut a staggering triumph of deflowered moundage.

Of course there are other factors that must be considered; The Antonator himself failed to inspire, and as we all know, those without a cause writhe nude before God. Now I'm not saying that just because I like the narrative meter of irrefutable adages, but also because Alan Shabel, Donny, Jay and Tucker formed a collectively wretched quartet of rank athletic underperformance, and in the end, one could argue that it was their own countless errors and bone-weary batting that formed the rich loser's-loam of their calamitous collapse.

In other words, it would be easy to blame Stefano for his pitching and Anthony for his feckless leadership and we certainly should take every opportunity do so, but in the end, sober scholarly analysis suggests a much wider dissemination of failure in execution-contagious, stark and totally repugnant to observe. And therefore there will be a game at Codornices this Sunday at 11, IF I get enough commits by this Friday morning . . . Raymond
