May Showers


Games resumed on Tuesday, with the red-hot Galaxy taking on GEA. It was Galaxy in a blowout, 14-6. No real stories in this one, just Galaxy taking advantage of a soft early schedule to go 2-0 on the season. GEA drops their first of the year and fall to 1-1.


Wednesday it was the Knights vs. the Sand Bar. Both teams are considered small market ball-clubs and have little in the way of budget for both equiptment or jerseys. The Knights have been outfitted with plain white tees with numbers on them, recieved as a donation from a women's soccer league. The Sand Bar used some money left over from V. Alkensayen Nipple modeling to purchase some new uniforms as well. All black tees with a pirate on the front. B. Bennet, the manager of the Sand Bar said "Yeah dude we're the fuckin' But Pirates" in his first interview. Some of the Sand Bar Players complained that the color of the shirts would make it difficult to play in the summer heat, when asked if this would be a problem, The Sand Bar's Second basemen V. Alkensayen replied, "Gotta show my body". Now thats fuckin creepy.

The Knights got off the shnide with their first win, a 19-10 drubbing of the lowly Sand Bar, who fall to 0-2. The Knights got off early, and built a 10-2 lead after three. P. Oleary was his dominant self on the hill, inducing the Sand Bar hitters into ground ball outs all night long. M. O'Brien was up to his usually antics for the Sand Bar, at one point putting the ball down his pants while pitching to a former roomate and lover.

The Sand Bar's defense was one step above inept, and balls that looked to be sure outs fell in for doubles and triples. The Knights looked surpisingly tight on defense, but lacked a big hit here and there which would have made it a monumental blow-out. M. O'Brien remains a reliable arm in the league and looked visibly frustrated during the loss. The Sand Bar made a valiant effort to come from behind in the last frame, scoring 5 runs, but ultimately collapsed and remain winless.
