Some New, Some Old, Some Short, Some Tall, but all Fat Kids





The Fatties were missing some of their chunky brothers and were replaced by a couple of new chunkies. Missing the game this week was the Hippie (went on a walkabout is what we were told), Canada is still peddling his free healthcare, UGA was said to be chasing gators, and Glass Jaw was rehabbing at an all you can eat buffet. We were joined by some new guys in El Heffe in right center and the Jason “The Silent Assassin” who took third. Both Fatties were welcomed into the Brotherhood of Blubber and played up to the Fat Kid potential. This week the boys faced off against the spring seasons semifinals matchup of Sky Ridge Medical, they were not real doctors but played one on TV. The game began with the fake doctors taking a lead early but the fat kids battled back to win 21-6.



Skyridge took an early 6 run lead in the top of the first with a comedy of errors from the home team fatties. El Sukador let a ground ball in the outfield slide under his glove allowing 2 runs to score. “Not sure what happened, I sucked it in but had a cupcake get in my way to bend over to pick up the grounder”. Hollywood chased a ball around half the infield trying to make a play at second, the Swinging Siv couldn’t come up with a play at first on the “slowest bang bang play” at first that anyone has ever seen, and the Silent Assassin was silent after dropping an easy infield fly. All was not lost on this night however. After the 1st inning Skyridge wouldn’t score again thanks to a strong stiff arm tag at home from Calm Kyle who showed flashes of the Bully. Strong Defensive efforts showed up from The Chode on the throw to home, catches by EL Heffe, El Sukador, and Super Freas. Solid infield play from the Silent Assassin, Hollywood, Coach Jim Jim, The Swinging Siv, and especially Pete the Pitcher with cat like reflexes to snag come backers on the mound.



The offense was slow to start after only scoring 1 run in the first two innings. The Fat Kids scored 20 more in the next 2 innings. The scoring barrage was started with a 3 run homer by now Calm Kyle, he cooled off after reciting lines from Serendipity behind the shed. From there the scoring just kept rolling, solid lines drives up the middle from Super Freas and Hollywood. Shots to right field from El Heffe and Coach Jim Jim, and a deep blast to El Sukador that buried in the corner long enough for him to round the bases sliding in safely at home before the throw could reach the plate. The Fat Kids racked up 6 walks in the game which has got to be a record cause these guys hate to walk…anywhere. In the end the Fat Kids were cheered on to their 7th victory of the season by the Preggo Posse and Lee. Second place is where it seems the Fat kids will end up even after their game next week. Game time is set for 8pm as the team enters August with one regular season game left before the playoffs.
