Debut of many show results!


This reporter does not like to boast, but he was bang on last week when he reported the Herd were missing their big guns whilst splitting their first two games. Both the Summer GM (Big Bambino) and Hugh Glove showed up and did not disappoint.

As reported last week, the team underachieved with a .500 record without the big men, but tonight, the Horns showed they are clearly a better team with the star players in place. Both Hugh and Summer batted 1.000 tonight to lead the team to victory.

After a 12-4 drowsing of the Transcona Classics Hugh was able to meet with the media and mentioned he was still exhausted from playing last week in the Asian League All-Star Game. "I can't believe it, they actually rub my feet over there!" laughed Hugh.

"I do need to mention that the Summer GM did a job out there and had a great feel for the lumber tonight...hopefully my lumber will get taken care of later" said Hugh as he looked over at Maura with bedroom eyes.

Notable player moves tonight showed Vanessa playing Rover (under duress). "I just wish she had the same confidence in herself as I do in her, she is more than a one dimensional player" indicated the Summer GM at a Chi Chi's post game interview. "Basically, she played right behind second all night, so she should have been comfortable".

Rob homered again....."ho hum...yawn........"

Casual Observer seemed cumbersome sporting a new look glove. " It is tough to get over the Pita, I hope this new feeling is short lived" indicated Ron as he oiled his new glove. "Beauji had the big one last year, and when I saw this baby, I just had to have it!"

Players of the night were Peggy and Preston. Congratulations to you both.

Dave and Nicola celebrated their 20th anniversary with the team tonight. Dave was looking to round the bases later during the evening and was seen with a lump in his pants making the rest of the team question whether it was a salt shaker in his pants or just his anticipation of 2 minutes of lovin' once they got home . Congrats to the happy couple.

Next week the team plays both nights and by the end of the week should be 4 for 5 and sitting at 80% winning percentage.

Good game by all. Hopefully we have enough players for Victoria Day Monday.
