Fat Kids Left Hungry



On a night where spirits were high and expectations were starting to build the Fat Kids stubbed their fat little toes. The game wasn’t exciting on this Wednesday night; it would be tough to describe the game as even fun which makes writing about the game rather difficult. The Fat Kids have built a reputation of being light hearted and fun loving even games where they are defeated. That was not the case last night. The Fat Kids squared off against Team Denver Water…or is it Team Saucy, we’re not really sure. They couldn’t have been Team Saucy because that team is a D-Comp team so they would have no reason to be playing in a D-Rec league would they??? Unless of course their egos and self-esteem were directly linked to playing recreational softball, which in this case they clearly are. In all fairness Team Denver Water, err Saucy (lets just call them Saucy Water from now on), Team Saucy Water did out hit the Fat kids but the Fat Kids out classed them.

The game started as anti dramatic as it ended. El Sukador returned from a little R&R in the great northern territory or Minnesota where he was rumored to have been hunting for Bigfoot, silly El Sukador doesn’t he know that Sasquatch lives in the Himalayas. He managed to score the Fat Kids first run of the game to bring them within 2 runs in the bottom of the second. After a scoreless top of the 3rd, thanks to stellar pitching from Peter the sometimes Great, the Fat Kids took a brief lead after Hippie and Hollywood single and Super Freas brought them around to score on a triple over the left fielders head. He would score on the next pitch on a sac fly from the Swinging Siv. Great plays in the field kept the Fat Kids in the game with over the shoulder catches from UGA and The swinging Siv as well as great outfield catches to end innings from The Chode and Super Freas.

The game got ugly when a throw from the Chode into Hollywood carried the bulky Hollywood into the runner at second base where he was tagged out for the 2 out of the inning. Apparently the runner known simply as the Dentist after making a comment about Hollywood’s teeth, he didn’t appreciate being landed on. “I wouldn’t run into Hollywood, dude is 140 pounds of fury, raging fury I tell ya” Jimbo Paglia was quoted after the game. Hollywood tried to be a gentleman and show good sportsmanship but the dentist and the rest of the Neanderthals would have nothing of it, this started the jawing out of their GED equivalent dugout. The game without with out a lot of fireworks and the Fat Kids were happy to get that one out of the way and move on to next week. Canada was heard saying “I feel dumber after having been on the same field with those guys, let’s get out of here before the IQ drops anymore” The Fat Kids pick it up again next week with an 8 o’clock start time.
