SnowSquiddin’: A Huge Success

Squidballing in the snow was easily among the greatest events in Squidball history, in my humble O, and I hope everyone will be into doing it next year again, ESPECIALLY if it’s as snowed-up as it was this year.  SQUID SNOWBALL FIGHT!  Congratulations to CHIP IT on this, her triumphant return to Squidball after a [...]

Squid Games In Review: 09/29/09

The penultimate eve of September found The St. Louis Squids squishing a couple of woeful challengers at Lyon Park.  The double header was a rarity in that the opponent was not the same for both games.  The first batch of victims goes by the name The Great Grizzly Bears.  The Squids thrashed this sorry lot [...]

It was the best of games, it was the worst of games. It was a perfect, hot, but not too hot, August evening. The late-day sun massaged the Squids with its gentle rays, while it simultaneously cooked the brains of our foolish opponent, Ball Bustaz. Though our defense was impenetrable for most of the game, [...]

Squid Games In Review: 07/14/09

It was a particularly bright and muggy Tuesday afternoon. Sweat dripped from the brows of every Squid as they took their positions on the field. We had little Squids to spare, but we had just what we needed. On what might have been the worst of fields the Squids had ever played on that season, [...]

NW Shaw Drive Byz started strong.  They pushed bases left and right.  They tried hitting all the lines.  Every time, the Squids were there to shut ‘em down.  Not much more to say about this game, except nice try NW Shaw Drive Byz.  Better luck next time, chumps! Riding high from the total annihilation of [...]

Squids Games In Review: 06/30/09

On this night, a most sacred of Squidgame annual rituals was performed.  The mighty squids all lined up with their offerings to the mighty Jungle Juice Jug.  SUB A DUB performed inspections to insure the jungle juice gods were not angered by our offerings.  Like a clap of thunder, her judgment came down on a [...]

Now this is a story, all about how Mike Duffy’s got flipped, turned upside-down So I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there I’ll tell you how the Squids won the day in the hot summer air. In South Central Forest Park, born and raised Playin’ Squidball, is how they spent most of [...]
