Call it a Push

I should quit my job, move to Vegas, and become a professional odds maker. My spread of P&C -5 could not have been more perfect.

Pitchers & Catchers 7
Swinging Bunts 2

It was a hard fought defensive battle by both teams. Runs and hits were hard to come by today. Our aggressive base running was definitely the difference. Though the Swinging Bunts hurt their cause by striking out seven times today. Seriously, how do you strike out seven times in a seven inning slow pitch softball game? Of course, it's not like I hit well today either...

Despite all the competitiveness between the teams and the trash talk e-mails at work today, it was a fun time. The post game pizza party was a good idea as well.

Here are a few game pictures. Thanks to PistonsBaller for taking tons of pictures at the game!




The fans were on our bench at the beginning. They just felt sorry for FlyingV! :)

UNICorn leads the game off with a hit.

My only good play of the entire game. It saved two runs and ended the second inning!


Maverick can't quite reach the bad throw and Hawkeye is safe!

The "web gem" of the game. A nice diving catch by Hawkeye in foul territory to end the third inning.

Still Going...


Nothing outlasts the Energizer.

It keeps going and going and going...

(Okay, so these were two different plays, but he rarely ever stops running after a hit!)

I feel ashamed as an odds maker...my spread of 6 was grossly overstated.

The crazy thing is we could've covered had we gotten that hit with runners on and 2 outs in the top of the 7th. Who got out last again? It sounds to me like the fix was in!!
