Fat Kids Welcome Playoffs



With the end of the season with in sight the Fat Kids took the final game of the regular season over the Wahoo’s 10-7. The Fatties will enter the playoffs as the #1 seed for the first time in their history. The rest of the bracket has not been completed yet but it looks like they will either play Loud Mouth Sky ridge or the Nancies of Where’s my Pitches at? (Freegin nancies). We should find out later who we will be playing and I will let you all know. What we do know is that there will be either playoff moustaches or Halloween costumes; the most creative individuals will manage to combine the two. So lose your razors for the week and grow those dirty staches! Now on to the game high lights.



The Fat kids were without Glass Jaw, the Swing and Miss Siv, Southpaw, and of course the Canadian. Hollywood Bristow had an ace up his sleeve with his Brother from a different Mother Jared “JJ”. JJ took over third base, Hollywood went back to the outfield, Hippie manned the shortstop position Calm Kyle played first, the One Sock Wonder Coach Jim Jim played catcher, and The Chode Cannode still looked confused in the outfield. Fortunately there was enough defense in this game to keep the Fatties in the game. They held a small lead through out after the second inning. A ridiculous throw to gun down the runner from Hollywood to Calm Kyle to force a pickle play between 3rd and 2nd base. It was just like the Sandlot. “I got the ball and I threw it real hard, and then he got the ball and he threw it real hard, it was real neato” Hollywood Bristow said after the play. Pete the Pitcher stood tall on the mound once again dodging RPS (Rocket Propelled Softball’s) as they were launched right back at him. “I opted to have off season surgery where I would have my eye lids sewn open all the time cause if I happen to blink Tahlia’s not having any siblings”. Great defense up the middle from Aggie and Hippie completed the evening while they almost turning several double plays only to have the blind man call the runner safe. A deep drive late in the ball game off the bat of the Wahoo’s put a scare into everyone but the once great wheels of Super Freas tracked down the fly ball where it harmlessly fell into his glove much to the appreciation of Pete the Pitcher, you’re welcome.

There was just enough offense with Coach Jim Jim actually hitting to left field, JJ lining a couple base hits to center field and Calm Kyle getting robbed and then getting redemption. Calm Kyle mashed a ball to deep left field where the Wahoo outfielders were playing in shallow Westminster (they were playing real deep if you don’t get that joke) only to have the ball bounce off the left fielder and “not the fence” and into his glove. He got payback when he lined the ball off the fence his next at bat. “I just thought if I hit it harder he wont catch it”, brilliant thinking sir. El Sukador provided treats and laughter, we all appreciate that.



Playoffs start next week. You must either have a moustache or costume on or you have to talk to Cannode about Doilies, Kyle still hasn’t fully recovered from his chat with Cannode.
