Impenetrable Blog of Fish: CrEAPS 18, Catfish 17

Dear Catfish Nation,

Fish truly have nothing be shaming themselves for over last night’s game. We were a scrappy bunch: no Scalder, no Chrazy, no Beast or Hot Stuff, no Lawyerator or Mórrígan, no Magical Clavicle, to name just a few of the Fish missing from our fishy ranks. But we Fish held our Fish Heads high and persevered.

Team Abbate was in rare form, with the Abbates the Younger getting an RBI apiece, 4 singles, and a double. Abbate the Elder had a double and also many crucial catches and plays in the infield, as he baffled them as always with his pitching. H Bomb Hasley was ferocious as ever, both behind and at the plate, with an RBI to her name. The Yaaarchitecht, Richie Rich, and even yours Captain Truly Batty all had singles. Then there was the home run club: Joltin’ Pickles Picazio, Buttery Butters showing them which side of the bread on which the butter goes (on the Buttersy side), and, very dear to our hearts, perhaps our shiniest Fish of the evening with two home runs, two singles, and a double, Tslammin’ Johnny Tsai. Hope you’re not too sore today Tslammy Boy!

All in all we had those CrEAPS running pretty scared and creepy. Given one more inning I am sure we would have shown them the what for. But since there were no more innings to be had, we Fish cheered them sportfully on with “HOOT HOOT! Awwww, CREAP CREAP!” and swam ourselves off to the Muddy Charles Put where mainy dark and grainy pictures were taken.

Next week is a bye week (unless the Shadowmask game gets rescheduled), so please join us Monday, August 4, for our final game of the regular season, when we face Langer Lab on field 2.
