Squid Games In Review: 06/02/09
The Squids started off in the usual awesome manner, by getting 6 quick
outs. (6 up, 6 down) About 5 of those outs were grounders fielded by
DONRUSS.
At bat, the Squids rocked just as hard. Nothing fancy, just grounders
hit through the holes in the infield. BUBBLE KING, MANNY FRESH, and
KRUKKER all got on base with their perfectly placed grounders. The
only way they could stop us was by switching DR. DOCTOR’ s wooden bat
with a metal bat. Robbing him of the homerun he hit, and replacing
it with an out.
It was during the top of the 5th (or maybe the 7th) that I stole the
game ball from DONRUSS, who up to this point had made play after play
with pinpoint precision. At one point, DONRUSS just looked at some
girl from the other team, she fell, enabling him to tag her out.
Now, some might think what happened next was excessive.
Unfortunately, the bitter taste of defeat sometimes causes people to
do ridiculous things (not everyone lives by the Squid Code). Anyways,
there were two outs and Jerk-face is up to bat (I don’t know his real
name). He hits it into the outfield. DR. DOCTOR runs after it and
relays it into DONRUSS. As Jerk-face rounds third, DONRUSS throws
the ball to me right in front of home plate. But before I could turn
to tag the runner, I am tackled. Despite, being knocked down, I
still got the out, ending the game.
The ref let have our last at bats due to the outrageous actions of the
other team. In the end we won. (duh!)

[Many thanks to DR. DOCTOR for doing some much-appreciated guest-Squidwork at first base and in the outfield, and congratulations-a-plenty to OBLIVIA on her injury-or-no-injury gameball win in Tuesday's startling slaughter of a game by the Squids. --PANCAKE MASTER, #88]
