7/29/06 - Short Handed Beers Able to Take One From Mad Dogs
The Beers only had 8 players at the games (even though 9 confirmed as of last night) but the Mad Dogs were nice enough to lend us a player so that we could field 9. We lost the first game, despite yet another solid outing by Andrew who gave up only 1 earned run. Final score was 2-1. The Beers' bats came alive in the 2nd game. Their 8 runs were enough for first time starter MA to record his first complete game win. Defense was very solid for both games including 3 double plays, and nice work at 1st by Pete. In his first at bat, Adam was hit in the face by a pitch but walked it off and then promptly stole 2nd base (unlike Pete last year who was a baby and went to the hospital). Mike D went 3-4 with 4 RBI and Steve had a big RBI-Triple. The full box scores will be available soon.

Podcast
This weeks Broadcast: I will be talking about this weeks games. The Rant will be about commitment to playing. This weeks scam will be about how to get free beverages and which member of the beers, in confidence, told me that he once had sex with a puppy. I have the tape. All that, the news of the week and much much more so tune in.

Three double plays?! How.

None were conventional... The first one, Adam caught a fly ball in center and the guy tried to tag. Big mistake. The 2nd one, Nigel tagged the runner going to 2nd and threw to 1st for the force. And the 3rd one was a line drive to left which Mike N caught and threw to 2nd for the easy force to end the game. The runner was stealing on the pitch so he didn't have time to retreat.

So what if a beers member had sex with a puppy? Mike N you need to mind your business and stop exposing the beers private lives. Why dont you fuck with little jay, im sure hed love to have a dialog.

It wasn't me. I heard a rumor that Mike got Liljay on the show for an interview... The shock tactics might work for a little while, but you need solid radio journalism to keep a long-term base audience.

The season isn't so long so a little while is all I need. I'll stick to shock. Also, I just booked for a debate; Osama bin Laden is going to debate Mel Gibson. Both want to exterminate the jews but disagree on how to solve social security. It's going to be a shootout!!!

I wonder what terrorists in iraq would do you to if they kidnapped you and listened to your podcast.

to you*. And by the way most of this season has sucked performance wise, 'lengthening' the season. Anyway it's getting better. Mike I know you don't plan on it but make sure you aren't kidnapped by al quaeda. That might be the end of the podcast and mikes rides :(

If terrorists kidnapped me and listened to my podcast they would do what they always do. Chop my head off and then convince some 16 year old kid to strap a bomb to themselves and walk into a pizza place.

Why did even engage in that conversation. Honestly I cant wait till this motherfucking season is over so i wont have to hear your retardation Mike N. Ive just gotta be honest. Anyway to mike D and anyone else who reads this shit for the last few games i will continue to give my all to a statistically fucked up season. At least i accomplished my goal of getting better. Just two more motherfucking weeks!

Well, if you're calling it a motherf*cking season, then it's unsuccesful in more ways than just statistically. This season, and this team, was supposed to be about having fun from day 1. If anyone isn't having fun, that's a problem and we should all do what we can to solve it. Let me know if there's anything any of us can do to make you enjoy the remainder of the season. And I'm totally serial.. Playoffs will be a nice goal for next year, for this year, it was, is, and will be all about playing the game we love simply for the love of the game. (wow, i should write movie trailers)...

Mel Gibson has cancelled his appearance due to entering rehab. I have also decided to stop exposing the private lives of the beers as Andrew has pointed out. If you have listened to the podcasts over the last few weeks you would know that I have revealed many personal things about people on the team. Like the member of the beers who had a sex change operation, which beer once stole a police car and who on the beers is constantly being investigated for making illegal social security cards. I apologize for this exposure and for the legal headaches they have caused. Anyway, at this weeks game I will reveal which member of the beers is an illegal alien. Find out who when immigration comes to the game.
