Things of which to take note, you know, no big whoop:
-The game started at 12:30, by far our earliest start time since the advent of Daylight Savings Time.
-Jose Lopez injured his hip during pre-game activities. In the 1st inning, he hit an absolute BOMB to LF and comically hobbled out of the box for a stand-up double. It was hilarious, you had to be there.
-In the 2nd, Fuck the Noise decided to play And-1 baseball in the outfield. Alvin hit a fly ball to LF that went off of Alfie's glove and was caught by the sprinting CJ behind him.
-Depending on your perspective, there were a comical/tragic 16 errors committed.
-In the second, Sepulveda rounded first base but got thrown out at second base. Sounds like a Friday night!
-But seriously, Sepulveda and Sergio collided on that play and some scraping and bleeding occurred. Just like a Friday night!
-Upon hearing of Sergio's injury, Scott called in and said "eh, he's fine."
-Speaking of Scott, I forgot to include something in last week's notes. In 9 innings at first base, he recorded 13(!) putouts.
-Before Brian arrived in the 5th inning, his team was winning 13-5. After his arrival, his team was outscored 10-1, giving him a +/- rating of -9.
-Vicky Cheng (aka Vicky One) arrived in the 7th inning, her team losing 14-6. Her +/- rating was +9. There's a math joke in there somewhere.
-After the game, several players ventured to Mohegan Sun for a night of rabble-rousing and debauchery. It involved a bus, copious amounts of alcohol, gambling, excellent food, a wheel of death, a stolen wheelchair, and spilled drinks that forced the hour-long shutdown of a blackjack table.
-Good Opening Day!
