The Circus Makes a Stop In Englewood





There were no elephants or trapeze artists on location last night but there were plenty of clowns, high wire acts, and jugglers to put on a show that Barnum Brothers would be ashamed of.



The story of the night was the clown behind home plate that was calling balls and strikes with the accuracy of the three blind mice. Peter the Great was quoted " I didn't think Dick Beveta was in town officiating the Nuggets game but he apparently brought his cousin to ump softball".



The Platte River Fat Kids could do no right in a losing effort that lasted only 4 1/2 innings after getting 10-runned losing 14-2. Hollywood Bradley was caught muttering under his breath "If we keep juggling the ball like this we're all gonna be sent down the minors...are there minors in beer league softball?" Fielding errors were prominent through out the game leaving Peter the Great's ERA somewhere in the double digits, although he argued that only 2 were earned.



There was some excitement in the game in the bottom of the second when someone unknowingly placed a clothesline by home plate. Kyle the Bully was seen shaking his head obviously concerned over the well fare of the fallen player. "I was going to catch the errant throw by our jackass outfielder and my forearm happened to land in his chest, its not my fault he did a back flip". The opposing player crawled into the dugout much to the disagreement of Brian "Tapout" Boytano who had a few choice words for the catcher. The Bully was unfazed by this attempt of confrontation as he knew there was plenty of backup from the wives/girlfriends in the dugout who were still fuming from the crop dust attempt of the 3rd base coach.



Fortunately there is 1 more game before the playoffs start so the Fat kids have another shot to improve their seeding. Game time is at 6 with heading to the team sponsor post game.



Don't forget the next game is on Cinco De Mayo and Moustaches are required, and if you have a sombrero you get bonus points!



Next Game: 5/5/10 6:00pm
