A Circus indeed...........

The Herd stepped up last night defeating Mittevil 15-13 and then coming back to form by coasting over the Masters of the Universe with a 24-11 walk in the park.

Frankly though, there were a comedy of errors by the team that took the A-Side Championship in the Season's Tourney. "It was tough to watch, it was a CIRCUS out there, luckily I have brought together a team not only gifted skill wise, but I really look at bringing in players that hate to lose" said the Summer GM. "Many teams get people that love to win: I want players that hate to lose, they play harder".

"Presto the Magnificent" was uncharacteristically "off" in the second game giving up a litany of errors. Thank goodness his big bat was working (he was targeted for the Elkhorn farm team, the Point Douglas L'il Antlers). But for now he will stay with the mother club as he works through his fielding issues. "I have faith in that man, he is having an off year, but we love the guy, honest, we do!" commented the Summer GM. "perhaps his leg is worse than he lets on". Pictured are Presto's Glove and bat as of late.

Casual had an issue with a strike out last night but went down "swinging". We all went down "swilling" as Casual stepped up and bought a round for the team. Thanks Ron! By the way, we are seriously looking at the DH rule now that you are pitching, it will save you a few bucks!

Peggy is to be "Blogged" for the first time ever..."what the hell was that woman?". You need sleep 'cause that was not the normal performance we have grown to enjoy.

Stacy did well with a blown thigh, Barb snagged a "beaut" at home plate, and Rob showed why he is playing the field more lately. (He knows why...hehe). Just kidding.

The Summer GM was mediocre as he works on his "refined" batting swing. "I am almost there, a few more good cuts and I will deliver big time for this club, hell, they expect me to!"

Rich spared again, and showed why it is good to be without body fat. He also showed us one of the longest hits this year over the fence albeit a foul ball. And Kelly, well, she showed Rob how to put accurate heat on the ball to first.
The evening Circus Stars (as chosen by an independent body) were Dave (just for showing up) and Ron for the round of drinks last night.
Notables for the night were Robb and Peggy as they were chosen as stars for the second game.

The Horns migrate to the Henderson Legion next Wednesday to play Over The Pants Hand Job (the team they beat in the A-Side Final). You can bet OTPHJ are looking for redemption.

Tickets available at all Mac's locations. Must be 18 yrs or over the limit to attend!
