Hitmen too much for Oracles

by Ice, May 25, 2007, 12:05 am

After failed attempts to secure a spot on the Mall, the Hitmen traveled to Anacostia Park for their Memorial Day weekend tilt against the Baltimore Oracles. The trip proved to be fruitful. Only slightly slowed by the shin high grass, the local squad pounced early, scoring five runs in the top of the first inning on their way to a 15-2 win.

Even more promising than the score was the fact that for the first time in recent memory the Hitmen were able to field a full squad AND have players left over to guard the cooler. It was a sight to behold. Somewhere (probably Knoxville, TN) the Great BT approves.

The large turnout can be attributed to the explosion of new faces on the roster. With the additions of F-Bomb, X and the Weatherman, we are now equipped with at least five lawyers within our ranks (six if we can coax Hot Rod to jump through his ring of fire and out of retirement.) The medical profession is also well represented, by Fish, Mike and Paige who can all duel over the right to sport the name “Doc” on the back of their jerseys… Nate also represented himself quite well in his first game.

Superlatives…

I’d like to give out performance based awards but, frankly, I don’t remember much about the actual game because I wasn’t really paying that much attention. (See the shoddy scorebook for the damning evidence of this fact.) So, instead, I nominate Murry and LilBowWow for the inaugural Rush Hour award. Murry gets it being the first one to the field after coming all the way down from Baltimore on Memorial Day weekend getaway day. BowWow wins because anyone who is willing to ride his mountain bike down 295 for softball should get some sort of recognition… and a sturdy helmet.

    Does anyone know what’s up with ol’ HotRod? And was he known as HOTRod before we found out about the rings of fire?

    By the way, we’d be tied for 8th place (out of 60ish teams) if our games were ratified.

    Hey, I don’t know who this “Ice” character is but I agree with Walt that if he is indeed our manager we should have our scores reported and be all up in those rankings. I rather not have to start a comment writing campaign to get things like this done. In addition I’m pretty sure that a ranking of 8 is an understatement for this team. Lets keep on keepin on Hitmen.

    Well, the Oracles should have already known they were gonna lose, cuz Oracles know everything. And if they already knew, then why did they make us even exert any effort? Continue to make it rain, and we will move up the rankings sure enough (assuming our scores are reported, lol)
