The Dog Days of Summer........


It was bound to happen. Summer showed he is human. Actually worse than human, he was a dog! Over shot a pop fly into left field, then a deep hit to left flew over his head which ended the game.

"Hey, what can I say after that? I told Gobbler something didn't feel right during warm ups...maybe it was the quart of chocolate milk I had just before the game" said a humble Summer.

Summer's biorhythm clearly shows he was fighting against the forces that evening.

"I thought the ladies on the team actually kept us in the game" noted Summer. "Turning double plays, batting well, and there were a few cookers at second that they handled like pros".

In the end, All Balls, No Strikes bested the Herd 8-7.

Discussions at Boston Pizza after the game showed there was also something else a brew with Summer. "I noticed he went straight to the men's room" noted Gobbler. "He told me he needed a bowl movement before the game, the guy sure plays with pain doesn't he?"

After some food and drinks, just when Summer normally starts to kick it up a notch, a surprised Elkhorn GM said "What??!!" when summer announced he was tired and needed to head home. "I was exhausted" laughed Summer.

Other notable event ala Keystone Cops were the "Pop Fly over under non catch" by Casual and the "let it go,,, leave it" call by The GM to Gobbler....While the GM and Gobbler stood there in centre field, the base runner quietly rounded the bases for an easy homer. "I don't get it, there are metal poles in that sand area" griped Gobbler.

I am not sure the Elkhorn GM or Gobbler actually heard the rules when Casual actually had the Umpire come over and explain them to the group. "They gotta put their ears on barked Casual Observer "The Ump made it quite clear that area was in play!

The Herd laces 'em up Next weekend for the playoffs. The team has never been shut out of the hardware in its existence so look for some excitement as they hit the diamond!

The Dog Days of Summer are not quite over yet! Playoff weekend will not only feature the Beautiful Bobby Jay wrestling, but his Hugh'ness is in peak condition after a long weekend conditioning camp at Falcon Lake! Hugh was under a strict regimen of Keith's, Corona, Tenderloin and Chicken. A full protein diet to make up for the sweaty hard work throughout the camp!

This weekend will prove to be Casual's biggest test as the successor to Summer GM!

Exactly which Elmwood Elkhorn team will show up this weekend will be the question!

Good luck herd...see you Friday.
