Game 2 Win 12-10 aka "she's got a nice can for a lesbian"

Boston's oldest Softball team took the field last night hoping to ride the waves of Wednesday's nights win. The Daily Boggs were the opponent, a rag tag bunch of beer ballers that were the last team to sneak into the playoffs last year. A formidable foe, they faced our Lefty for his first start of the year. The Lefty's contract expires mid-summer as the Ringers did not want to pick up his 2 million dollar extention...he could always pick up with Raso's Grill forming a Beckett/Lester type tandem.

In true Noyes fashion he walked the first batter of the game and you could already see former Manager Sully biting his nails. Noyes settled down though, figuring out the zone and working side to side trying to nibble the corners. Maybe having a hunchback behind the plate helped his aim and velocity. Seriously Crupi...how is your back today? Looking at you made MY back hurt.





The bats were warm most of the night, Sully stays hot and TC kept peppering left field. We really capitalized on their errors. I have never seen such awful overthrows, fast throws, slow throws, it was pretty amazing. That third baseman is lucky he still has his head with the lasers we were hitting at him. As the ex-skipper said while he wore a Bud Light mustache "nothing wrong with hitting ground balls at a bad team"





The lineup changed a bit, giving birth to the kid we all now call "2 Hole". At first we all thought the 2 hole stunk. He was the only starter not to have a hit in the first game . But the 2 hole is tricky, sometimes you cant really find him, sometimes he really stinks...yet sometimes he can be the most fun you've ever had...especially when you've had a few Ice houses. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=2%20hole 2 Hole really proved his worth last night with 2 solid hits and a fly ball which Bags really should have scored on...although his knees looked rickety all night, maybe a good choice not to run.

On to the field where the Shortstop really wanted to make his mark. Sully cannot stand when people make better plays then him...hates it. His entire basement is filled with pictures of people that have made rad plays and he vows to either top them or kill them. It is like walking into the Lair of James Gumb from Silence of the Lambs...you do NOT want to be on that wall.

So how do you pull a rabbit out of a hat? You pull off the unthinkable. You do what Kevin Mitchell did a long time ago for the Giants. You get a good jump on something...but you dog it just a bit...you think to yourself this is my moment, this is where I prove I am the best at everything. This is my time to shine and I can finally take all of those pictures down. No more Daryl Clark bulletin board, Davis Tyree gets pulled down tonight. So Sully extends that claw of a hand he has...and quielty tops all the one handers that caught a smaller baseball in their hand, or use a gey glove to stick it. Sully extends, Sully sees, Sully grabs. He smirks, he wants to talk about it, he's the man.



Noyes continued to work the corners, running into some count troubles but letting them hit it and getting out of a few jams. One play may be a precursor to a little thing we like to call, The Golden Glove award. This award is given to someone who just makes the plays, no bs, no dressing things up, and no errors. The award has eluded Noyes the last few years...actually finishing dead last each year...but with darkness comes light and he has added a new move to his repetoire, the sky hook to first. Patented by Kareem (Lew Alcindor) Noyes has been watching tape and figured if Kareem can average a double-double and win a few Championship, he can at least throw over to first with a signature move...should have went to third with it, but that was too pretty not to go to first with. Tip of the cap to ya.



Noyes gets out of a jam in the 7th and we take the game 12-10. Now starts a stretch of really really tough games, we need all hands on deck. Here's to being 2-0, buckle up...it's gonna be a bumpy one.


...and the lesbians ass kind of looked like Erin Andrews'...here's to feelin good all the time.
