The Great, Late Tournament Update

OK, I’m going to make this short and sweet in order to show off some of the pictures from the tournament. And I also don’t really remember most of the details of what happened. WW Finished 2nd place in the tournament after losing their opening round game to the Dallas Bronc-hoes. This was quite disturbing seeing as how the DB played like a bunch of little girls. Before the game Byron stated that he was ‘not going to make an error the whole tournament’ and then ruined the suspense for everyone after the booted the first ball in play and then it was all down hill from there. The score was like 9-6 and Pete only gave up 2 earned runs. So the Boner of the tournament goes to the Water Works Softball team. Byron is in the picture below but he's in the back row and his head is still up his ass from the first game.

The good news about playing a horrible game is that it can only get better. And it did. After knocking out a few other teams we wound up playing the Saints who knocked us out of the spring tournament. WW managed a come from behind victory in this one. There were too many plays to think of that kept us in the game but I think everyone remembers Scott going into second base head first in order to beat out a force play and prolong our come-back inning. I don’t have a picture of Buckshot but just imagine what the love child of Stone Cold Steve Austin and Jay Buhner would look like all grown up and that is Scott. After dropping the Saints we went to the Championship to play Down and Dirty. We needed to win two in a row in order to take the crown but a tired WW team was no match for the steroid injected Down and Dirty team.

This is what Brian looks like before he turns into a flash of light…

Here is Albert seconds before realizing there is no way humanly possible he can steal third…

This is what Babe Ruth would have looked like if he wore sun glasses…

And now for the player of the tournament... Chris Weyand. Chris had something like a 16 AB hit streak going. He is the model for quite consistency.

My most disappointing memory as a part of the WW softball team is missing the after party at Mike’s. Regrettably my wife was in the middle of pretending to have a baby so I rushed home only to go to the birthing center only to find out there is nothing going on. If I had the authority to give out a boner of the week to a fan I would have awarded it to Liz. From the looks of the pictures everyone had a great time. Sorry I missed it.

Seriously this time. Now we are Back to Back Champions

Apparently in the Plano Leagues you can be lazy and not show up 3 times before you are kicked out of the league which means we had to play PHBC(2-4) again last Friday. PHCB was still no match for WW softball despite the best efforts of the left side of the infield. PHCB had yet to score a run when the bases were loaded in the 3rd with no outs. On a routine 5UA – 2 Tag, double play (possibly a triple play if they could have gotten the runner out at first) Byron actually let the ball hit square in his glove without catching it and then watched it roll away letting all runners reach without a play. If you watch the slow motion replay you can actually see the moment Byron tries to pull his head out of his ass once the play is over. This definitely puts him into the front running for Boner of the week. But then the last inning happened. JW who had actually made the play of the game on a hot line drive over his head (Joe’s reach over his head is about 8’3”, The line drive was 8’3 ¼” high. You do the math… JW has mad ups) wound up screwing the pooch on two consecutive plays in the inning. This gives JW and Byron the first ever co-Boners of the week. The player of the week will go to Brian Macek who had put a couple of burn notices on the PHCB outfield and wound up with a couple of little league homers. Although WWs won handily 12-6, the victory was the first time this season WW did not run rule a team. Thanks Byron and JW but mostly Byron! This victory assured WWs second consecutive league championship.
