Softball: The Sublime Integrity of our Presidential Politics
Dear People,
Mike Davey’s team beat my own 24-20, but that’s only because someone defiled our mitts with some kind of lurid lubricant just before we took the field in the bottom of the 6th. While I don’t "know" that for a fact, how else can one explain why virtually every fly ball that inning went sliding off our normally viscous leathers and on to the ground below, thus allowing 12 contemptible runs in a single-inning bacchanal of really unsightly ineptitude? As they say in the legal biz, res ipsa loquitor ("The Vaseline speaks for itself").
In any case, the true hero of the game was Jay Z, who stoically hobbled about as my loyal and indispensable catcher despite having brutally sprained his perfectly innocent right ankle the week before. Indeed, the presence of an ice-based carburetor-like-thing where most people wear merely a sock was a source of pride for our entire team, and just for the record, I can assure you that his injury was ghastly, agonizing and clearly not self-inflicted. If you must know, I only mention this lest some conniving Karl-Rovesque slime-ball try to impugn Jay’s character come the pivotal 2036 election, but that’s reason enough, and therefore there will be a game at Codornices this Sunday at 11AM, IF I get enough commits by this Friday morning…Raymond

Softball: The Risks of Delay
Dear People,
There will be a game at Codornices this Sunday at 11, and as of now, it is FULL. As always, those who dawdled are welcome to call later to see if there are any late cancels.
This week’s field fee is $2, but that includes an admittedly stolen yet fully authenticated Bronze Olympic Medal in Greco-Roman Trout Fishing….Raymond 845-7552
