Ebby Calvin LaLoosh's Good Friend Used to Say...

"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains."

Think about that for a while.

1. Rain Out Number is 314.289.5307. As a rule of thumb, please only allow coaches to call the number. There are many games a night so all of the other teams will be checking the recording as well. I'll be checking it around 3:30 or so and will send out an email if the games are canceled. Which reminds me, only a few teams have a back-up coach listed. If you'd like to have someone else added to the emails, please let me and Jay know.

2. rBar. Don't forget, rBar has food and drink specials for the AdClub League before and after the games. Hughes went and had some tasty tasty pizza and Schupp also showed up a little later. If any other teams were there, I apologize, I must have left before the party really got started. Click here for directions from the fields.

3. Match-ups for tonight:

Field 2:

6:30 - Momentum vs. Schupp Co.
7:30 - Hoffman Lewis vs. Shaw Co.
8:30 - Spark vs. Moosylvania

Field 3:
6:30 - Emmis vs. Drive (Beaver Liquors)
7:30 - Osborn & Barr vs. Advertising Pariahs
8:30 - Clear Channel vs. Zipatoni

Bye - Hughes & Rodgers-Townsend

Never Saw It Comin'

We all know there's plenty of baseball metaphors like Getting to 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. Then of course the Home Run, the Strike Out, the Pickle, the Switch Hitter, Playing For the Other Team, Sacrifice Fly, Courtesy Foul, and of course, we can't forget the Long Ball.

I don't know how many of you saw the Drive Agency's shirt that looked like a beautiful blend of cotton in a nice shade of heather gray with the logo "Beaver Liquors", in traditional baseball design fashion. I walked up, saw the name and said "Which team are you?", to which one of the female players said "We're Beaver Liquors." Just something not-right-in-a-really-funny-sort-of-way about that response no matter what context it's in. Finally, after a little back and forth I found out that it was Drive Agency.

When asked about the shirts, Rommel Medrano, the Beaver Liquors Left-Bencher said, "The few looks that I received from those who find our uni's slighty offensive is what truly makes it worthwhile."

I can only imagine. I just have one question...who's number 77?
