Impenetrable Blog of Fish: Catfish 14, Koch Blockers 9

It was a glorious day in Catfish Land last night, as we once again defeated the Koch Blockers 14 - 9 and brought our record to 2 - 2.

It was no easy win: We're still missing JC Superstar Costello and James Scrappy McScrapps Lynch. We send them our collective fishy best and imagine their injuries surrounded in a beautiful warm glowing light. We visualize them mighty and strong and healthy so that they can return to their rightful places on the astroturf. Also missing were the Abbate "Abbatoirists" Matt and John; Erin the H Bomb; and Erika "The Valiant" Valenti.

The Fantastic Fish played consistently well. Standouts include Charlie "Roast 'em" Rose, with a superior snag of a line drive and some fine plays at 3rd base; Butters "oh Hamburgers" Elwell, with his Grand Slam Candy Gram, in the top of the fifth; Pickles's in-the-park home run; Johnny "Tslammy" Tsai's home run; Katie "The Personable" Persons's Youkilis stance at the plate; Alexa's insane catch, sliding on her knees, to make the first out of the top of the 9th; and last but certainly not least, in my role as catcher I was pretty proud of my catching the rocket that Butters launched from the outfield, to tag out an admittedly confused Koch Blocker who was trying to share 3rd base with a teammate.

Hits were had by all! In addition to those aforementioned home runs, The Weisenheimer Weininger had a single and a double; Hungry Like DeWolf had a single; Tslammy had a double; Savagely Savage had 2 singles; The Menace Dokshin had 2 doubles and a single; Pickles had a single and a double; Roast 'em Rose had a single and a double; Rich That Pesky Pole Wladkowski had 2 singles; The Personablest of all Persons had a single; Evan the Beast had a single; M Lo and I both had singles.

Perhaps we were especially on our best fishy behavior for our FANS, which included Osa "the Mimosa-drinking Pup who is filled with sugar creams" Savage and her mama Colleen, as well as Emily "The Light Saber" Taber and Levi "The Photo Bomber" Rubeck. Knowing these fans were there, actually seeing them up close and personal, only increased the intensity of our game. Fish do it all for the fans--even when they photobomb our photosnaps with crazy faces.

In the friendly and sociable spirit of the Kentucky Fried League which is our home, the evening ended with the KB's cheer for us (MEOW MEOW MEOW CATFISH!!!!!!) and ours for them (They're good folk! They're not stalkers! We all cheer for the Koch Blockers!!!---devised by our own Marcus MLo Lowenthalius.
