First it was Pete and Mark. They bought new cleats to come prepared to play. Then the Summer GM stepped up with new equipment.
Rick on the other hand, is a work in progress. Being prepared is clearly not one of his strengths. Everyone has bad days, but this is one for the record books!
The top 10 reasons why Rick will probably not see anything better than number 9 in the batting order.
10. The ninth position is the LAST male position in the batting order.
9. Fancy throws that look totally ridiculous are not what built this franchise.
8. Holding a runner on second while the other team is diving for the ball in the water is not prudent 3rd base coaching. It would have been a home run, but well, let's not belabor it.
7. Sitting in the Summer GM's chair. Yes, he was told to move to the cheap seats!
6. Unheard of is when the Umpire who heard his nick name is "auto", says " he is living up to his nickname!"
5. Coming to a baseball game without proper footwear (Sandals), and then telling people , "it's wet out there anyways, I'll just wear these.."......nice try sunshine.
4. Errors on the field where the ball crossed between him and another fielder, and proudly saying, "Hey, that's not my error, I never touched it!" 'nuff said,,, Remember, Results, Not Excuses!
3. Being the ONLY person to not show up to Smitty's after the game.
2. Being called out for wearing jewellery. The umpire just looked at him, pulled his ear like Carol Burnett and said "batter's out!".
1. Having to be called by the Summer GM and Elkhorns GM for assuming the game was off. The call came from the field where everyone else was worried about Mr late. Craig said, "Don't worry, I spoke with him earlier, he'll be here"...NOT!
Maybe Rusty Staub told him the game was off (see comments in previous week's article). Enuff about Ricks cognitive inadequacies. Clearly his mind was on Sylvia Kuzyk's ass. Gawd that woman has a big can! On a positive note, love the green sox!
The Elkhorns rallied once again to victory in less than stellar game conditions. Thankfully most of the team came prepared, on time, and were ready to play. Maura and Rob were game stars. The term "mercy" was used and is starting to become tiresome. (yawn)
Every herd strengthens itself by losing the weakest member. Thank goodness tenure is something the organization respects, and we will soon forget about all of this, but the BLOG always remembers (or at least until the server crashes!)
