I WANT TO GO TO OB LAND!

June 16 OB Land vs. Nahant Knights
OB Land and The Nahant Knights faced off in an American League contest which was a battle of arguably the favorites to win the division vs. the favorites to tank the division.  P. O'leary got into mid-season form in the bottom half of the first inning.  O'Leary was the big story here fanning two en route to a big win.  The Knights played good defense against another subpar team, and their bats came alive, putting up multiple runs in each inning. OB Land mustered only two runs courtesy of a looping flare. A flare off the end of B. Bennet's wood, that cleared D. Walsh's outstretched, and then thrown glove, leading to an inside the park homer.  The homerun was very fitting so shortly after Father's Day,  for a guy who recently became the father of two, or as the man himself would call them, "seeds".  Knights in a blowout.


NFL vs. GEA
In interleague play, the "starting to slowly warm to room temperature"-GEA squad, battled their bitter rival, the undefeated NFL.  NFL couldn't be playing better ball, NFL-ball, the kind that has an undefeated season.  Even fringe guys are playing out-of-their-minds softball.  This team was looking to steam-roll GEA.  C. Pantano had a gutsy effort on the mound, alah Kanye, "though the wire".  The end result was another yawner, and another win for the League leading NFL.


GALAXY VS. LYNN
Lynn you ask?  Lynn is the team formerly known as Brickyard, the team formerly known as Champion, and the team formerly known as a contender.  Brickyard recently became Lynn and has since dawned prison orange and black as their colors.  One player on Brickyard, sorry, Lynn,  claimed it would make it easier for the Nahant cops to pick them out of a crowd.  Galaxy and Lynn battled in what was a must win for both teams, for both standings position and confidence.  Galaxy built an early lead, but horrendous defense led to Lynn creeping back into the game and eventually back out in front where they stayed for the win.

OB LAND VS. THE GULLS
OB Land.  It sounds like a traveling circus, slash carnival, that is based out of the Midwest. Nope, that's not it at all.  However; when you play OB Land things get a little weird.  M. O'Brien, like a character out of an M. Knight Shyalaman movie will warp your mind as if actually were  in, "OB Land".  OB Land was actually short for O'Brien's Landscaping, pitcher M. O'Briens new business venture, on the League produced schedule.  Coincidence, I think not.  OB Land was manufacturing, and D. Barile was all over the map, leading to a tight game right up until the final bell.  A discrepancy by the umpires and the Gulls coaching staff led to a four run inning, an inning that very well may have been a five run inning.  Unfortunately the Gulls didn't record the box score and could have possibly cost themselves a run.  With two on and two out, Barile settled in and got J. "Poodin" Bennet to ground out to short.

KNIGHTS VS. BARBARIANS
The Knights and the Barbarians faced off in interleague play in a highly anticipated game one of their two-game season series.  P. O'Leary aided by his Bee Eff Eff, liquid Jamison, was maxing and relaxing, chillaxing if you will.   But what is cooler than ice cold? J. Capinigro.  Capinigro stepped in for B. Serino who went on the DL with "tired and needed a nap", to pitch seven stone-cold innings against a stacked Knights lineup.  The Knights carried a two-run league into the fifth when the wheels came off.  With one out, a line drive squeaked by the Knights P. Stubblefield, and into the fescue, for a 2-run homerun.  A bad throwing error, and an equally bad three-base error call, led to a three run inning and the lead for the National League powerhouse.  O'Leary continued to mow down the Barbarians, but J. Capinigro would not go to bed, closing out the win for the defending champs.
