Fat Kids Beef Up Their Record

7/8/10



The Fat Kids kept the train rolling on a chilly Wednesday evening out at Cornerstone Park improving their overall record to 5-0. It was a tough fought game with several factors standing in the way that usually trip up an unfocused Fat Kid team. Historically the Fat Kids perform poorly the game after a bye week. They create a comedy of errors on a wet field. They double up on those errors by visiting the team sponsor The Platte River Grill, home of the Gut Busting Fat Kid favorite Paparito. Lastly playing a 9 o’clock game where their bellies are full of adult beverages and bar food. This combination has generally left the Fat kids feeling full of doubt. But not on this night where a great momentum has kept the tubby teammates rolling up the standings by way of timely hitting and breath taking catches.

The Fat Kids took charge of the game early getting on the board in the first inning by putting up an 8 spot highlighted by a 2 run shot to left field off the bat of Kyle “Goosfraba” Bremen. “I was just happy I got to hit one this game, the real all-stars of the team in Super Freas and The Swinging Siv always get the jacks.” Goosfraba also hit a shot to the warning track later in the game where he ended up at second. The hitting continued where it seemed as though Sweet Chops Caliente Carlos and The Swinging Siv were constantly rounding the bags. Not to mention the 3rd cycle of the year for the Cycle Machine Super Freas. “It’s a simple game, you throw the ball, you hit the ball, and you catch the ball. Tonight, nobody was catching what I was hitting.” The Cycle Machine was overheard saying after the game. Thanks for the deep insight. Not all the fireworks came from hitting as the teams pink helmet traded hands for striking out on Wednesday night as Kris “The Pink Nightmare” Cannode will dawn lovely pink helmet until the next dolt stares at a perfect pitch that was right down the middle of the plate thigh high for strike three. That won’t happen again will it…?

Fortunately the Fat Kids brought their gloves to the park where the infield was lighting it up once again. The only exception was an errant throw by Hollywood Bristow to the second baseman UGA. “Not sure what happened or why I decided to throw a rocket to Newman, pretty sure he had it comin though.” Hollywood was quoted attempting to defend wild toss. UGA played another solid game at second fielding scorched ground balls that were sure base hits. The outfield provided a little excitement when a deep drive to right center field caught the Pink Nightmare and the Canadian struggling to track it down. Ultimately a glove save from the Canadian kept the puck out of the net, err made the 1st out of the 6th and final inning. A sliding catch from the Super Freas and hot liner that was picked off Hollywood’s shoelaces would end the game with the Fat Kids winning 18-15 and picking up their 5th straight win.

Next weeks game is at 6:15 at Cornerstone Park once again.
