Dear Fish and Friends,
It was a difficult loss last night to the Shadow Masks. These are not the nerds one might expect from the MIT Media Lab. They are beefcake nerds, with a shortstop who probably plays for Pawtucket.
Nevertheless, we Fish had our fun and shone in many glorious moments. The Leviathan Rubeck had 2 doubles and a triple, NaSlamWell Trippe and two singles with RBIs thrown in and fielded with ferocity, Evan The Beast had a 2 RBI triple and some significant snags in the outfield, Jon “Buttered Lightning” Elwell had a double and an RBI triple, as well as some much-needed snags at shortstop, Tslammy Tsai had two doubles, Nate “G’Day Nate” Band had two singles and caught fly balls like flies, Chris Eyer on Feyer had two singles and made the big plays at 3rd base, John the Battler Abbate had a single and ran like the wind, the Eminently Jamiable Jamie Emerson had a single and some sweet catches in the outfield, the Yaaarchitect availed himself of 2 singles, Erin H-Bomb was fierce both behind the plate and at it as per usual, Matt the Baffler pitched with his typical aplomb, and yours truly, though struggling on the mound, managed to enjoy herself nevertheless as is the Fish tradition. Our spirits were buoyed by little Edith Fish, as well as Sharon Bad Mama Bandoo and her entourage, who cheered us on through our dark times.
The biggest highlight perhaps was going to the Muddy Charles Pub, where the Abbate Duo joined us for the first time ever, at least that I can recall. Even though Primo’s forgot my salad sauce for my Greek salad, we had tons o’ fun, learning that the Abbate Duo are related to George Washington, the Queen Mother, and Robert E. Lee; to close the night, Abbate the Younger regaled us with some Georgian folk tunes.
Please join us next week for the penultimate game of the regular season, when we play the cREAPS on field 2. We have been struggling against the tide this season, but next week is our big chance to redeem ourselves, Fish!
Yours in softball,
Judy/Cap’n Batty
