Worst Safari Ever

Monday saw the Old City Freedom Fighters tangle with the Zoo, um, Animals and the result was...(drumroll please)...we got spanked. By the Zoo. The same team that eeked out an 8-6 win over the other 0 and whatever team in the league. How did this happen? Let's examine the parts of the game I remember.

BVDubs was stellar on the mound, as was Harry Potter, so that's not the issue. The field conditions were sloppier than a Ventrola on a Friday night, which didn't help, but our fielding wasn't the biggest issue. The bats just never woke up. The Male Hussey went all bezerker on the yellow sphere with a triple, which was kind of our highlight. Another highlight was Female Hussey (AKA Amy the Bad Ass) being bad ass on second, but more on that later. That being said, I guess our fielding could have been better. I mean, we gave up 20 runs to the friggin' Zoo. BK Haveityourway (but not really your way) pointed out that we played the Zoo too shallow, which has been my comment on every game thus far. I think this game was particularly shallow because of being backed up against another game and because it was only into us for our looks.

On a more fun note, Scrappy Doo and an Asscap made it to Hoagiefest as the lone representatives for the OCFF tonight. I learned how to keep the book (sort of) and someone called Scrappy a Harlot, so it was pretty good. There were also enough hoagies for everyone, and at least three other teams were happy to see us there. As the newly appointed Old City Social Chair, stay tuned here for more events in which we can interact with other teams without getting spanked.

Next week we have two games, and we will go to the Magic 8-Ball for predictions.

Will we beat the Bad Touch?

  • Magic 8 Ball says "Outlook not so good."
Will we beat the Force?

  • Magic 8 Ball says "Yes."
If we get our shit together, I think the Magic 8 Ball is on to something. Now on to the fun stuff.

Perdue Fowl of the Game: Mega Bad Mark for his 76 foul balls

Ringling Brothers Clown of the Game: Simzak, for a never ending stream of animal puns

Red Cross Injury Report: 4Loko Barbie fell several times at Hoagiefest but that's nothing new. Injurygraham continues to defy the Vegas odds by remaining healthy. Derm can barely stand and Ryan is old too. El Jefe made it through an entire game with zero injuries, but will owe me two beers on the 16th. Da Ali V Show suffered from severe frostbite while Speak-N-Spellman complained about how warm his jacket was.

Score: Bad guys win 20-4.
