GSHAS #9
Very annoying loss last night to a classless, bush league team. After playing them in the first game, we pretty much knew they were idiots. In the vein of Elizabeth Barrett Brownings “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways…” here is my list of “How bush league are you? Let me count the ways…”:
- You decided to take infield while the other team is warming up on the IF. When Jon L. asked if they were taking IF and if they were going to ask us to move, you respond “No. I thought you would notice.” Jon L.- feel free to correct the quote.
- You take the bench even though the other team has already put their stuff there.
- You don’t allow your opponent to add their guy who showed up late to the end of the roster even though every other team (and even the umpire) ignores the rule that you can only add someone before you have gone through the entire lineup.
- You run into an IF who was clearly in the baseline and then argue that you shouldn’t be called out for obstruction.
- You don’t pitch to Jesse the entire game (which is fine, I suppose) but then intentionally walk him without even throwing a pitch when you are up by 9 runs in the 5th inning.
There were some sweet plays- Jon L. had a nice triple and made some spectacular plays with the glove, and Pete knocked in our two runs with a liner down the line. Oh well, on to Fenders next week in the last regular season game.
Here are this week’s points as best I can remember- feel free to self-assess as needed. As always feel free to comment, correct, add, etc. Thanks to Matt who provided beverages this week and to those who stayed to enjoy them after a late game. After last night’s sorry performance, I’ve jumped ahead of Jon L. and will bring beverages next week.

For what it’s worth, I feel like I might deserve +.5 for not scoring from 3rd on Pete’s fly ball (John’s play at the plate scared me out of it), and I also think I kinda hung poor Todd out to dry on that DP. . .
Oh, and I believe the quote about them taking infield (for 15 minutes even though we were both on the field and at the field first) was: “I thought you would be smart enough to figure it out.”
