Game 4 Win 19-8 or "The flood gates open up"

The Sons of Mayor Menino took the field on a cold, brisk, June day. The Ringers were riding high winning 3 games in a row to start the season. The cold air was no problem for the Boys in Blue...well, no problem for most of them....

The Two Hole was a bit bothered by the cold and instead of hanging with the home crew and talk some smack, he decided to head into TC's ride and peer out the window creepily, like a dog on a rainy day looking desperately looking for his owner.

The cold wouldnt stop the bats though and the Old (not Ole) Fireballer was on the mound looking to lower his ERA and pick up his second victory. Some shaky defense plagued the Ringers early but Ol Capshaw battled and battled. Tough finiding the strike zone on the umpire but with the usual muttering, Bags kept on firing. Stevie Paz had a key hit for the Grillers to put them up 8-2 early.

The Ringers bats came alive in the 4th for an inning that was the biggest I had ever seen. I honestly can't really remember what happened but everyone was hitting and running and more hitting. Typically I look back at the book at the end of the game to remember some key stats for the blog. I like to give credit where credit is due and to make sure everyone feels the love from the blog...

What I wasn't prepared for was the Pete Brown Book (PBB). The PBB is usually spot on and the kid has really come into his own and has delivered a solid book game after game. Unfortunately this was NOT one of those games. Like a computer that is running too many programs and just decides to freeze up, the PBB went through an epic FAIL. The system shut down, the stats froze up, and Pete was like a deer in headlights on the bench. I could see a little bit of smoke coming out from his ears and the undercarriage. The PBB needed to shut down and retool, with a little help from Raso's and god almighty, the PBB rebooted and came up with this...

It is a bit hard to see but if you look down you can see the aftermath of a 15 run inninga nd what it does to the PBB, I knew we should have switched over to Timmy's Excel Spreadheet (TES) but it was too late, the PBB just shut down....so many columns left to use Pete!

What an inning it was, 15 runs, McGrath sprains his foot, and the Ringers take the lead and never looked back. Raso's seemed to be defeated at that point and went pretty quiety the next 2 innings as we skunked them to finish it in the 6th. Game set match Ringers, 4-0...that's ah niiiiiiiiice!
