Vagina Kick

Weather is the physics of the atmosphere, pressures, moisture levels, air masses, and wind patterns. Does anybody really give a fuck about any of this shit, most likely not. Every NewEnglander does however, give a shit about whether or not we can go down the beach, fish, play softball, and golf.

Mother Nature needs a swift kick in the vagina.

June of 2009 was the 4th cloudiest month ever in New England. Think about this for a second, that includes every month of the down right brutal New England winter. We had only 27 percent of the total amount of sunshine in June, which sucks even more considering the longest days of the year are in June, so the shitiness is multiplied. It was the sixth coolest June.

There is an explanation, we are actually in the Solar Minimum, which is a time of low sun activity, and yes I came up with that definition just from the connotation of the words. Minimum, not a lot, solar, sun. Simple. Also, a fucking Volcano, Mount Redoubt, erupted in Alaska this past spring spewing ash into the atmosphere. The jet stream is an upper level wind that blows west to east across the globe, it carries all these storms. Its parked on our heads. So, you do give a fuck about this shit, as do I, and my best solution is a vagina kick, go figure.

I'll tell you who likes to hand out vagina kicks, Barbarians, Barbarian is a term used to describe an uncivilized person, it can also be used to reference a brutal, cruel, warlike, insensitive person. Nothing is more insensitive that stealing a ball game.

It took one hour and fifteen minutes for the Barbarians to break the hearts of Brickyard Nation, and just one swing of the King Barbarian's Axe.

The Brickyard offense did not take long to get going, putting up two quick runs on a bevy of base hits coupled with a few walks.

The Barbarian lineup was stymied by the big rookie right-hander of the Brickyard, until M. Pressman, who jawed with the pitcher, hit a solo tater to deep left, to bring the Barbarians within one. The Brickyard came out firing after the altercation and had a seven run explosion helped by a three-run error by a Barbarian short fielder.

The fog rolled in in the fourth inning and with it, a stiff wind out to left, making it difficult for both the pitchers and the defense of both teams.

Down six, the Barbarians finally got it going, and stormed back into the ball game with some plate discipline and an exceptional game by the bottom of their order. The big inning was capped by a grand salami by C. Capanigro that found the bull rushes in left. B. Serino pitched a gritty game on the hill and had a monster day at the plate.

The Brickyard would not go away, and in the latter innings J. Peterson tied the ballgame with a solo shot that just curved around the pole in left. The Brickyard gained a one run lead and the big rookie looked to shut the door on another Barbarian come back victory. With one on it was Serino at the plate. Serino took and inside fastball to the gap in left center where it was scooped up and subsequently thrown into the stands.

Serino gained third on the overthrow and with one out and the game tied it was the King Barbarian who dug his cleats into the box. P. Capanigro won the game with a sac fly to center, completing a monumental come-back in some gnarly conditions.

Not surprisingly the rain is back, and we are currently on a one game per week schedule. However, there is a silver lining, saturday and sunday look beautiful with partly cloudy skies and temps in the high seventies to low eighties. So hold off on the vagina kick; for now.
