The Blistered Juggler

Greetings sports fans, it’s your favourite intrepid sports reporter Scoops Jockovitch here, reporting on the latest athletic endeavours of your favourite Whitby Men’s slo-pitch team named after a climatological event.
It was a muggy, buggy night as the battle of the 2 “S” teams faced off on the dusty diamond of destiny!
In the 1st Surge came out slugging like my drunken father to score 3.
The newly attired Storm replied like my favourite bartender with a double shot of 3’s to lead 6-3.
The 2nd inning saw many mosquito bites and a goose egg for the fashionable French men (Serge)
The less orange Stormies matched their 1st inning output with another 6 to start ( like my 3rd wife) pulling away, with a 12-3 lead.
 
Just to appease everyone’s short attention span the Cloudy ones went on to a comfortable win, 26-9.
 
But we know we’re all here to review and comment on some of the games highlites and more importantly (like my second wife) to make fun of the foibles, faults and f*ck-ups.
 
Rene (The Lips), after returning from a very successful fishing trip in the magical land of scorching sun called Saskamatoon had an eventful game.
Not only were his scorched, blistered lips offensive but so was he with 5 RBI’s, including 2 HR’s. On the downside, there was one play that the Storms first baseman must have thought that Rene’s blistered visage was so horrific that he turned his back to the scab faced third baseman instead of facing him to receive a throw, allowing the Electric companies batter to end up on 2nd.
 In defence of the Highlander on first, he did think The Lips had caught the line drive and had zoned out before realizing that the ball had popped out of his glove like an oozing pustule.
 
General (the Juggler) Mills also stood out in this game for both his rapid feet and hands.
Feet – A short pop-up behind second base was called for and easily caught by the General even before the Sloth at second had barely moved a step.
However, on a deep ball to right centre the Juggler appeared as the ball dropped into and out of and into and out of and finally into the frantic hands of the General for a very exciting, testicle-tightening out.
 
That’s it, that’s all for me.
 
Tune in next time loyal reader for more adventures of the less orange, climatologically challenged slo-pitch team we love!
