GAME 6 RECAP - SUPERCRANKS 15, Meatballers 12
MEATBALLERS RALLY LATE, BUT FALL TO SUPERCRANKS 15-12
Johnston back on trading block
3-31-09 - Yesterday, the Meatballers faced a foe that has become increasingly common and frustrating over their 3 seasons of existence - the Exide Supercranks (Origins of this team name not known at this time, and hopefully will never be known.) Right from the get-go, the Meatballers looked like they had drank their weight in beer and liqour over the weekend. Steven “I’ve got a beard!” Christensen was off, and so was the rest of the squad. The Supercranks were spraying hits all over the field - it seemed as if the onslaught would never end. Marc Russo looked like a not-so-graceful John Candy at shortstop. Things were beginning to revert back to the norm for the squad.
Then, down 10-0 and 15-3, the Meatballers fought back. They scored 9 unanswered runs to make the score 15-12. Unfortunately, that was where it would end, and the Meatballers fell to 3-3.
This is not the end for these Meatballers - it is the beginning. The start of something great. The beginnings of a new, more durable type of Meatball. These are the “Parmesan crusted” Meatballers. It is my firm belief that they will once again eclipse the .500 mark next week in their game against Dekalb Office.
On a side note, Lauren “Don Cheadle” Johnston Tolly Darryl Lover is back on the trading block. Rumors are floating around as to why this is, but an inside source claims it has everything to do with her tendency to pass gas at home plate, leaving the umpire dazed and unable to call balls and strikes.
