Loved that show. Great if you're stoned, although the hippo could be a little scary.
Apparently, we played as if altered against the Zoosters, losing 15-10. Sorry I missed it. Life intruded on softball once again.
GM Chris Brennan filed this one:
"Sports, and writing about sports, are often fraught with clichés. Some of them are even true. Today's cliché: We win or lose as a team. The P&P lost 15-10 as a team last night to an undermanned but determined bunch from the zoo. Every player, those who showed up and those who didn't, played a role. With only one woman on the field, we were forced to take an automatic out each time the top of the batting order came up. We were also limited to nine players in the field. This is no excuse, of course, since the Zoo had numbers problems of its own and only had nine players. They made the most of it, with three guys swatting long balls with runners on base. Our infield was porous and our outfield overworked. Our bats were uneven, starting the game OK but then going silent at clutch moments. The automatic out can't even be put to blame since it was only responsible for the ending of one inning. Now we're neck-and-neck for the fourth playoff spot with these Zoo people. Next week is a new week."
I'll let all of that lay where it is. Veterans will recall that we split with the Zoo last season as well and still made the playoffs. So, let's not panic until the order to panic is given. (See Manager's Corner.)
