Language Rain Delay Halts Game 2 Before Skies Erupt...

Ya, that was weird as once again, John only got one at bat in a game that we won. I believe that has happened previously and am sticking with that until proven otherwise. But more to the point is the bad form (not sliding) and poor manners (F-Bombs Away) displayed by those folks who are not dead yet. Am happy it was not me, for once, laying down a track of whiny expletives that serve no real purpose other than being self serving and making myself feel better.

OBI scored their second straight doubleheader and move to 7-3 for Season 1. We Ain't Dead Yet falls to even at 5-5 and into 4th place. Game 1 was all about the fast start early, then the hurricane called the 6th inning arrived and John was able to bat twice in this inning. Another non-story for another day.

1st Inning -- Matt was driven in from first when Clint line a ball down the left field line and into the corner for a base-circling 4-bagger. Jayse followed with a single and scored from first on Juan's double. Spillane and Mando singled to plate the third run and John single to load the bases. Paul singled home the final run of the inning after Michael's Sac Fly for a 6 run start. After scoring 2 more in the second, however it was a 8 run tie. OBI was outscored 1-5 over the next three innings prior to the fateful 6th.

John and Michael set the table as Paul, Nuta, and JR followed with RBI hits. Larry, Matt, Clint, Jayse, Juan each hit and drove in 3 more runs. Spillane plated the 8th run of the inning on a Sac Fly. A timely 8 spot indeed. Holding WADY to an egg in the bottom half and the 17-13 victory was ours.

WADY scored but 2 runs into the fourth inning when Paul was mercilessly tossed about by a person about the same size but definitely hairier. The correct call was made as the runner was out for not avoiding contact, discussion over. Well, game over actually as a previous cursing warning was ignored by WADY in the next inning and game goes to OBI at 9-2. Five and Four runs were scored in the 2nd and 3rd innings respectively. 

Brutal, yet funny... See y'all tomorrow...
