Ball till you Fall

That’s right kids, I’m having a formal.
Right now you might be thinking one of the following:
1) It’s about time she sent the invite
2) Jessica Sontheimer? When is the last time I talked to her?
3) Who the heck has a formal?
Let me address each of these thoughts . . .
1) I know I promised this September [...]

Squid Games In Review: 09/23/08

Rarely has such a glorious day of Squidding been experienced. Even for Squidball, Tuesday night was a total doozie.
Yes, only with extreme infrequency do the stars align as they did Tuesday night to create a truly outstanding Squidball experience as that undergone at Lyon Park this very week.
First of all, as with Monday, it [...]

Squid Games In Review: 09/22/08

Pancake Master’s Note: This one is by Phil. I’ve made aside notes in my trademark green throughout and afterwards. All the black text is Phil’s, though!

After a week off The Squids were in tight form up and down the lineup. The Wet Noodles basically just dried up when they saw what the [...]

Squidinjury

If you were at the game Tuesday night, you witnessed me getting a softball smacked in my chin whilst trying to catch a throw from Bill to get a Misfit out. I’m okay but as I expected, I got a bruise.

Wait… wait a second. That bruise isn’t just any bruise. Step aside Virgin Mary Grilled [...]

Squid Games In Review: 09/09/08

Squid games, two Tuesdays ago – a totally new level of Squidination. In fact, it might be possible that it was these games that gave rise to this new term. Say it with me: Squidination.
Pre-game highlights include Angie Mangie-bo-bangie [MANNY FRESH] taming the treacherous Lyon’s Park field in her return to the site of both [...]

Squid Games In Review: 09/08/08

Tight dudes, kicking off the Squidball FoPa season right, with a flurry of blows to the other team’s ego. Bigtime.
Several triumphant returns and debuts. Very impressive Squidballing all around! Gameballs went to founding father Squid F.I.L. for making basically every outfield play (he caught probably forty-five, forty-six fly balls?) and to new [...]

SquidMix Fall 2008: Great SquidMix, or GREATEST SquidMix?

With the FREE new technology I acquired yesterday via GigoIt, the SquidMix is now a fully-capable ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-TWO SONGS long, holy crap.  There are the 25 plate appearance songs for roster players of the fall season, sure, but then there are nearly 100 more songs after that–songs for guests, Squidsongs of yesteryear, all-purpose jams [...]

Squid Games In Review: 09/02/08

Oh, my gosh Squids. Squidfall has arrived.
Last night was mega-tight. It looked bleak for a second but we managed a quorum, and then two stunning wins against the St. Alexius Wombats (formerly known as B.L.M. during this past summer at Forest Park).
Holy crap it was hot (awesomeness-wise and weather-wise both). New Squids [...]
