Nightmares round 2

Once again we played the Nightmares, and once again it was a nightmare. They are about a two and a half hour drive and given the fact the the European Football championships was on that night, we really wanted to hurry...or just not play! We made up our minds that once we would get 10 runs, everyone would bunt the ball back to the pitcher then just walk back to the dugout just so the game could speed along.

Well of course with batting averages at stake here, nobody did that. We took advantage of the situation and racked up an impressive amount of runs! the first game was 17-4 and we had scored 10 alone in the first inning. come to think of it however, we only had 2 hits in that inning...they just walked everybody. It was really tough to keep your focus in a game like this and luckily for us, we didn't really have to as they somewhat beat themselves.

The second game was worse. It was just embarrassing to be a part of. Outfielders missing balls, infielders just catching a ground ball and not throwing it anywhere. The opposing teams catcher missed two easy flyballs, then proceeded to yell at his team when they made errors. It was just not how baseball should have been. the final score was 36-4 and I believe we set the record for most runs scored in a game. I'm sure everybody on the team had multiple hits it's just a matter of who had the most, or the best average. and I think Cy might have had the most hits, though i haven't seen the entire stats.

One the day, I was a perfect 3-3 with three walks int he first game, and the second games I had some horrible at bats and ended up 2-4 with a walk, a hit by pitch, and two sac fly's. 5-7 on the day is a pretty good number though I wish I could've been 7-7! Cy on the other hand, finished off the day 7-9 with a deep, deep bruise on his right thigh from getting hit by a pitch.

it really wasn't a fair game and was more of a waste of time. however, on the positive side, we did make it home in time for the game....and the team i was routing for, Espana, won!! Viva Espana!
