While we await Ron's official report on Monday's loss to Franklin Institute -- I gave him the book to keep since it was radioactive -- just a few words about who we are and what we do.We like to have fun and play softball. I think that despite the score on Monday, whatever it was, we still enjoyed the process. We dropped some balls and missed some pitches we should have hit and, although I can't confirm this yet, my sense is the sun will rise over the fertile highways of New Jersey tomorrow morning and set over the steaming cooling towers of Three Mile Island tomorrow. Maybe this is perspective. Maybe it is experience. Maybe it is the fact that I'm getting on a plane for Paris on Wednesday and leaving you losers behind me.
Nevertheless, we are 3-3 this season and the losses have been to the two best teams in the league. I firmly believe we are the third-best at this moment, that we will make the playoffs and could make some trouble once there. We have a very nice team and do like to drink the occasional beer. This is not something to be overlooked, lo though these days look dark.
The management will miss, regrettably, next week's game against South Philly Tap, a very winable game, and will see you in two weeks against the unpleasant Dung Beetles of the Academy of Natural Sciences. Please, as always, get your running in, and remember why we do this. And when you remember, please remind me.

Again, we lustfully recommend Chez Paul near the Bastille and do tune in FIP, the local radio station where the "Fippettes" play Muddy Waters and modal jazz and sound sexy as hell just reading the phone book.
