GSHAS #6
Stirring victory this evening against the Men Without Clues. The bats started off really slow but we finally had a big inning in the 5th. But they battled back and we had to rely on Jesse’s 2-run HR in the top of the 7th to take a one run lead. Oddly they walked Jesse all evening (with 2 outs and the bases empty?) but gamely pitched to him in the 7th. We then held on in the bottom of the 7th with the tying and winning runs on 2nd and 3rd. Nice win!! Overall the bats came around- John-Mark hit some screaming liners that were caught, Brian painted the line several times, Ben knocked in some key runs, and Cole stole a run with a hustle tag up from 2nd to 3rd (with a great slide without shorts). We nearly made some tremendous plays in the OF with Pete and Todd coming up just short on diving plays and Tony and Pete both nearly making a diving play in short RF (and managing to avoid each other). An exciting win for sure.
Here are this week’s points- only negative points this week? Huh? Ben finally brought his long overdue beverages and it looks like the other Wu is up next week.

Is Tony subject to the “Jesse Absolute Value Rule”? Or does a middle infielder getting to -5 mean automatic exemption from his next beer obligation? Regardless, I feel this warrants further exploration. . .

If grounders to 2B were a point, I’d be bringing every other week. How about a poll to determine if I’m subject to beverages?

When the “Jesse Absolute Value Rule” was conceived, I never thought that it would apply to a middle IF given the number of chances at those positions. But Tony manages to make too many great plays. I’ll throw up a poll in next week’s post as this issue definitely needs the clarity that only an unscientific poll can provide.
