Softball: Advil (Exemplars in Darwinian Thought)
Dear People,
Jim McGuire's team outwitted my side, 9-6, as if they were a sagacious pack of amphibious saw-scaled viper snakes who seduced, cornered and then feasted on my own distracted cackle of Tanzanian river perch. The bitter truth is that my contingent left bases loaded no fewer than three times, and as a team, we're gonna' have to ponder long and hard the mathematical implications of leaving so many base-runners so tragically denied. For example, if just one of those inning-ending pop-ups had been a grand slam instead, certain number theorists would claim that this would've changed the ultimate outcome of the match itself. I honestly don't know.
What I do know is that I can't be held personally responsible for our dismal performance, for I was stuck on the bleachers the entire game, unable to play or even really galvanize. Yep, just two days earlier I was leaning down to tie my stupid left shoe when a mysterious slab of fresh hydraulic cement was apparently injected into the lower third of my previously limber spinal column. Needless to say, limber is better.
The point is that it's hard to inspire your peeps when you're aching, hunchbacked and walking around like you're the unsightly halfway marker between a Neanderthal and an orangutan. Fortunately though, I'm now almost back to the normal gait of my Homosapien erectitude, and therefore there will be a game at Codornices this Sunday at 11, IF I get enough commits by this Friday morning…Raymond

Dear People,
There will be a game at Codornices this Sunday at 11AM, and as of now it is full. As always, please let me know ASAP if you committed and need to cancel, and if you still want in, feel free to get on the wait list or contact me later for news of reopened slots.
Please bring $4 for the field, which I concede is a bitter weekly reminder of the brutal jackboot of the Municipal Man....Raymond 845-7552
