Ball "Exits" Blackburn

Tuesday's early game featured a battle between the corporate sell-outs. Recently renamed Mr. Electric and Exit Realty battled hard to jockey for some key points before the playoffs.

In a game that saw Exit Realty go down early and hard, Exit's bats came alive on Tuesday night. After giving up a 3-run homerun in the top of the 1st to the hot hitting Steve "My wife loves my swollen finger" Walman, Denis "Pickle" McNicol seemed to settle into a pitching groove. Unfortunately, Exit's defense didn't get into the same groove until about the 3rd.

Thankfully, Exit had the long ball working. With 3 homeruns, a couple of balls off the fence, and a handful of other base hits, Exit made Mr. Electric's ace look old (he's only about 20, so it's hard to do). Will "I am a cartoon" Mood hit 2 dingers while "Pickle" had 1 single dinger. Eric "Pedro" Sanchez had a hard line drive off the fence in right center. Of Sanchez' hit I commented, "Hey Pedro, trouble getting it up, eh? They've got drugs for that now."

Later, Pedro had a chance to respond after I hit a ball to the warning track. "Nice hit Chugger, but it looks like you're a typical young guy. You can get it up, but not for long enough."

It's fun when we are hitting.
