For those of you who showed up to our first game of the season, you know what happened. Like any academy award winning movie, we cried, we laughed, and we experienced a lot of different emotions in tonight's game.
The Alcoballics have a lot of traditions and one of them is losing the opening chugoff. E-Flo did not let us down and is 0-1 for the season. Looked as if we were off to a positive start as the Alcoballics were able to put a run up in the first inning. What happened next was undescribable. As the Alcoballics defense took the field for the first time this season, there was a lot of confusion amongst the players as to who should be out there and what position they should be playing. One would have thought that this wasn't a team who had made it to three straight Final Four appearances in the previous seasons. Without going into any detail or pointing any fingers (only because there are just too many fingers to point, including myself) at anyone, the Alcoballics quickly saw themselves down 11 - 1.That's right, 11 -1 (not a typo)!!!
Believe it or not, there is a positive side to tonight's game!!! The Alcoballics did not go down without a fight as they outscored their opponent 5 - 1 the next four innings, before eventually losing 12 - 6.We saw the worst and the best of the Alcoballics tonight!!! Besides the 1st inning, both the offense and defense showed marked improvement over last season and if we are able to play like we did the last four innnings of the game we will be unstoppable!!!
Tonight's MVP goes to Ryan B.for his heads up double play at first and would it be vainglorious of me if I added myself for my 2 RBIs and scored run???
And the LVP goes to whoever was playing defense in the 1st inning.
Next up: Superbad (Aug. 25th, Monday @ 8:30 PM) and NKOTB (Aug.28th, Thursday @ 8:30 PM)
