Dear Fish and Friends,
It was a rough night in Catfish Country last night as we faced our friends the Whybunts in a double header. The first game was a cursed one, which we shall pass over in silence. Let us just say that I’ve never seen such a ghostly ball that could pass through solid gloves until last night.
The second game was much more to our liking. Richie Rich started us off in the 1st inning with an amazing snag of a line drive at 3rd. BRAVO RICHARD! The Abbatoirist Abbates got us going with their bats in the top of the 2nd. Leviathan Rubeck’s bat was on its per usual fire, as was that of NaSlamWell Trippe, who bashed out our only home run of the evening. Tslammy Tsai was in fine form behind the plate and gave it his all at 1st base; Evan The Papa Beast caught many Whybunt fly balls and even found the time to take little Edith to the port-o-potty; Jamie the Jamiable Emerson caught many flies without skinning his knees; Christopher the Lying Paradox Eyer had many fine hits and dealt well with being shuffled all over the infield; Joltin Jay the Slayer fielded and hit with his usual natural flair; the Yaaarchitect had an amazing catch in the outfield; Jamie The Gentlest Giant had some astounding at-bats; and Erin hustled and hollered and hit with her usual fiery determination.
We sent them off with a cheer of “Whybunts! Whybunts! See you at the Muddy!” And off we swam for pizzas, friendship, and beers. (Picture attached is from a few weeks ago, when their psy-ops agent snapped some surveillance pix of us.)
The moral of this one is, the Whybunts are our favorite team to lose to! Which is saying a lot, because we’ve lost to piles and piles of teams.
Join us next Wednesday when we face, once again, Our Pals the Whybunts! on field 5.
