Their Hearts Grew Three Times Today

Originally I planned to ignore this game and recap my most recent barbecue (it was great), but a funny thing happened on the way to a crushing defeat. The Tappers showed mercy, and even joked around with us. Eventually, base runners (walkers) were even coaching our fielders. Gosh darn it, they were just so nice. But now, onto the recap.


We took an early lead with some good hitting from Harry Potter (+5 Points to Gryffindor) and some of the Brians. Then the bottom of the first happened. Whoops.


From there, it went a little something like this: The Tappers spent what seemed like 23 innings (it was one, maybe two) drilling the ball into other fields, and at one point, Pittsburgh. We had a couple of mini-rallies (brought to you by the SPTR), one of which I killed by blowing a base running call (sorry Harry, -5 from me). We scored at least one more run, probably more, but definitely one because I scored late in the game. Essentially, after a safe 5246 point lead, SPTR began playing Tucker-style ball, and killed us a little more softly. It could've easily been a slasher-style murder, but instead they put a fluffy pillow on our face and whispered "Sssshhh" until we stopped twitching. 


In closing, I would like to thank the SPTR for their good sportsmanship (Whitmarsh is crying somewhere while Memorial Nick is hitting on an almost 18 year old) and dedicate the following song to them:

SCORE: There was a score. 


INJURY REPORT: BK didn't have it his way when a ball collided with his noggin. In a post-game interview, BK mumbled incoherently for a few minutes before proclaiming that he should have left his hat on and something about He-Man. 


MORAL VICTORY: We brought out the best of the SPTR. Then I went to a bar with a Scientist and a Wizard.
