Fired Up Fat Kids Fuel Rout





Whoa Nelly the Fat Kids are on a roll here the last couple of weeks after a come from behind win last week and then a pummeling victory out at Cornerstone Park this week. The Fat Kids definitely had their tickets this week as team Gun Show really only had pea shooters so to speak. This fantastic start to the summer season is the best in team history going undefeated through the first 4 games. The win was highlighted with some dandy defense, spectacular hitting, and some quality pitching, the main ingredients that winning beer league softball teams are made of.

The defensive lineup was shaken up a bit with the return of Caliente Carlos, who will now be known as the Hillbilly Hippie due to him sporting a fresh cut mullet this week, and the absence in the field of Alejandro Holder they had UGA playing 2nd and Hollywood Bristow holding down shortstop. When asking UGA how he felt about being moved to 2nd he responded with “I’m cool with it, I didn’t like being that close to the Hillbilly Hippie at 3rd anyway, and do you even know what Hillbillies or Hippies smell like? Let alone a combination?” The defensive lineup led to a double play and nearly 2 more. Along with the middle infield, enough credit is not given to Pete the Pitcher for fielding his position, way to go Pete! Several times a game Pete is snagging liners and one hoppers back up the middle to end an inning letting the rest of the defense breath a sigh of relief.

Pete’s the Pitchers precise pitches were punctuated with prime hitting from a primo lineup drafted by the Paliga. Enough P’s and on to the H’s! The offense was sparked in the bottom of the 1st with a 3 run blast from Super Freas much to the dismay of newly dubbed Calm Kyle. Why Calm Kyle you ask? He made a pledge to young fan in the crowd at the beginning of the season to quit picking on people, plus he started reading Pride and Prejudice and that has helped his temper. The hitting continued from the Sprinting Siv, The Slapping Suk, Calm Kyle, The Canadian Klondike, and Clamoring Cannode even strolled around the bags giving the Fat Kids a 13-3 W on the night.

It was good to see Glass Jaw Holder at the game tonight as he quietly cheered on his beloved Fat Kid teammates. The Fat Kids have a bye next week so you might get a fishing report from Cherry Creek state park instead.
