Fat Kids Get Tricked



You must be from Colorado when you plan your Halloween costume around warm clothes or in Coach Jim Jim’s case Under Armor. Your beloved Fat Kids were dressed in their costumes last night with the hopes of advancing to the 2nd round of the playoffs. They should have dressed for success instead of a bunch of clowns. “Keith Stone was solid behind the plate but that crazy looking hunter and silly Pirate in the outfield didn’t know what they were doing” said Pete the Pitcher. Everywhere you looked a bad throw, dropped fly ball, or a missed grounder. The hitting resembled something out of the Michael Jackson “Thriller”, bunch of zombies. Overall it looked as though the Fatties ran out of gas.

Calm Kyle was dressed as Keith Stone, always smooth with his mullet and trucker hat. Southpaw Cookie was Kenny Powers from the HBO show “Southbound and Down” with his flowing locks protruding from under his ball cap. Hippie was a redneck, showing off his sweet thighs and flowing mullet. El Sukador was an “Unsuccessful Hunter” with his blaze orange hat and hunting socks. I think fantasy land is more a reality for El Sukador, just kidding Suk. Coach Jim Jim arrived in his 1980’s conversion van with the windows blacked out and his Chester molester moustache powerfully standing on his upper lip. And there was a random Pirate roaming in left field.

The lone bright spots in the field were el Sukador catching 3 or 4 fly balls to end the route of the first inning. Hippie catching a runner rounding 2nd base too far and threw behind him to get him tagged out. The Pirate caught a fly ball in the top of the 4th and let out a resounding “Yarrrghhh” to everyone’s delight. On the next play he managed to drop a line drive, the other team responded with a "Yarrgghhh" of their own. He responded by throwing out a runner at home. Ever been thrown out by a pirate, its kinda embarrassing.

As far as hitting goes The Swinging Siv was dressed as a B-52 bomber, wait that wasn’t a costume??, anyway he dropped a 2 run shot over the left field wall. Keith Stone also hit one out, with a mullet wig, also embarrassing.

The good news is the long season is finally over. This journalist had a great time covering all the Fat Kids’ games. There will be a spring training session sometime in March before the season starts so plan on being there. Be sure to vote on whether we should do a year end party or not. See you Fatties later.
