Penthouse to Shit House

That's Gobbler for ya. Just as the Herd was poising up for a victory, Gobbler creates an error to set up the comeback for the opposition.

"Hey, it was not that bad of a throw....it could have been caught....I ain't taking all the heat for the loss!" barked a disappointed Gobbler.

Rumours around the Horn are that the lack of play as of late left the entire team knocking rust off the gloves and bats...

"I am disappointed in myself as well" noted Casual. "We've never been knocked out this early in any tournament. I will sit down with Summer and review the past weekend and see if this ship can be righted".

Summer was spotted watching the game from the Bunker atop the Buhler concession and did not utter a word after the loss....he just shook his head.

One thing the Herd does well is not dwell on the past, so off to another week of incredible ball by the hottest team in the 'Peg (and they can play too!)

We'll keep this blog short.....

(PS..we still love you Gobbler...honest we really do!)

Le Premiere Etoile! Ball Gobbler!

The Horns started this years' leage tournament with a 12-6 victory over the French Ticklers at Buhler Park on Saturday. At time of writing, the results from game 2 have not been submited.

Game 1 showed a few things that won't be seen again any time soon.

Ball Gobbler (pictured) was chosen as star of the game. "I knew I had to step my performance up a notch" noted a modest Ball Gobbler, "Casual has been busting my ass to start contributing, and I think I did that today". Gobbler was 3 for 3 at bat and showed some pretty good fielding skills by gobbling up everything that came near him.

Speaking of modesty, Hugh certainly did not like being shown up by Gobbler. So mad in fact that he actually tore the cover off of the old Grey Dot! Ball remnants shown at right. "He still was no where near me in performance" mentionned Gobbler.

The Horns seem to be gelling quite nicely under the new management style "a la Casual". "I still consult with Summer for clearance on all the moves I make, I know I'm still learning and I don't want to make mistakes" mentionned Casual, "hey, the guy has a proven track record with building winning teams, I am just lucky to have him as my mentor."

Look forward to seeing the Herd give it all up on Sunday as they strive for more hardware. "We pretty much have won something every year, lets keep the press on" yelled The Elkhorn GM!

Seems Tiny was caught pressing on something as well.....*wink*,,,,or was she just looking for Hugh's wallet to go buy a beer?
