The Fat Kids returned to the softball diamond for a late night affair and returned to their winning ways recording their first 10 run rule game of the season. With only two games left in the regular season before the playoffs start the Fatties had to get back into shape after a loss and a bye week. They came out sluggish as only Fat Kids can but were able to rally in the bottom of the fifth to record their fourth victory of the season helping their record to 4-1 overall. The power of the moustaches were present last night as well with Hippie transforming into Caliente Carlos with his best Rollie Fingers impersonation and Hollywood Bristow became his usual Handle Bar Hollywood for the evening much to the dismay of his girlie friend Rachel, which has started to become a regular at the games. Also in attendance Momma Chode with the two Mini Lasordas as well as Lee who returned from a BBQ tasting competition in Kansas City. Better KC than Detroit. Anyway, back to Fat Kids Softball. That’s why you are all here anyway right?
The defense was just strong enough to hold off what is typically a strong offensive team. The Rotund defense held the team “Where my pitches at?” to a season low for scoring. The Swinging Siv was on retreat in the hills of Wyoming, not sure why the heck you would ever go to Wyoming unless you destination was Yellowstone, so Coach Jimbo was manning the first base bag. He was somewhat successful on his switch of positions from his usual bench spot. Somewhat meaning him missing a shallow pop fly to then turn around and sit on the ball so no one else could throw it in. “Everyone was yelling at me, so I was going to take my ball and go home” said Coach Jimbo. UGA was flashing the leather once again from the shortstop position. At one point making a fantastic drop step and back handed grab on a sharply hit ball into the hole. Cheers from the stands and comments from the left center fielder could be heard, “Nice play Helen Keller” insinuating he had his eyes closed to make the play. Cookie had a sweet diving play from 2nd base to cut down an advancing runner and the Chode Cannode actually hit a cutoff man from right field. “Not sure what happened, I kinda bobbled the ball and did my patented pirouette and gunned the ball in, just happened to land in the cutoff man’s glove”. Team Super Freas had his Howitzer Cannon on display last night gunning down a runner at home who was trying to score from 2nd base. “You see these guns, you don’t run on these guns”, alright that quote was made up but I could totally see him saying something like that.
Handle Bar Hollywood got the game off on the right foot with a typical in the park homerun off a ground ball right to an outfielder. He was followed up by a Team Super Freas double. Base running errors were tough to overcome with Canada getting doubled off at first after he had a great hit just before. “I thought there were two outs, us Canadians count different then you southern folks”. Team Super Freas was also doubled up at first when Pete the Pitcher hit a comebacker to the opposing pitcher and was “apparently” unable to get back in time. Suk found the easy way to record a double, you hit it high enough everyone gets confused and lets it fall to the ground. The Chode Cannode walked, his wife and two kids saw it happen and they were embarrassed for him. Pete the Pitcher recorded his first and probably last in the park home run, demanding he now be considered skinny cause he made it all the way around without stopping. Good for you Fat Kid. The real excitement occurred in the bottom of the fifth, which if you have reached the bottom of your Fifth you should stop by Applejack liquors, when the Fatty Fatty Boombiladdies decide to put on a hit parade. Busting out the big sticks were of course Pete the Pitcher, Cookie with a liner to right field, and Holder dropping in a single. Calm Kyle also had a shot down the left field line and was inspired by Pete the Pitchers round tripper and actually thought he could get an in the park homer too. He rounded third and decided it wasn’t going to happen so he hustled back to the bag only to have an unprovoked encounter. The gentleman playing 3rd base had just finished watching Mortal Kombat and thought he would try out some new moves, they did not go well and Calm Kyle did not appreciate it. He simply reminded him that unwanted touching is not appropriate and referred to him with a term of endearment. After all the excitement settled down, Caliente Carlos delivered the clutch single to scoring Coach Jimbo to secure the 10 run victory 16-6.
Congratulations to Jason and Nikki Holder on the birth of their son Jacob.
Next weeks game is scheduled for 7:10 pm, you are expected to be in attendance.
