Things to Note While Flapping Your Arms at Hooters:
-The doctrine of equitable conversion treats interests in land as if the land had already been converted into personal property. This is one of many reasons why this was sent out a week after the game.
-Christos, captain of I'm All Tool, won his 3rd straight game. I, for one, welcome our new Greek overlords.
-No Fundamentals' pitchers were in the strike zone all day (3 walks, 24 outs recorded via means other than strikeout), but the defense was the team's Achilles heel (only 3 of I'm All Tool's 13 runs were earned).
-Despite a relatively speedy game, the teams combined for 14 walks and 14 errors. There were also 13 strikeouts so, uhh, that's something?
-Harris, Scott and Reese combined to go 10-for-17 with 9 rbi while the entire No Fundamentals team combined to go 6-for-36 (!) with 6 rbi. I have no joke here.
-Christos, while facing Ricky, yelled to the ump (Jose), "He's gonna hit a homerun, I can't keep throwing strikes!" This made as much sense to us then as it does to you now.
-Brian, in a rare moment of clarity and self-awareness, asserted that he was "All Tool." Everyone in his vicinity immediately concurred.
-In the 8th, Mike made a nifty running grab of an infield pop-up by The Yellow Knight. TYK hastily retreated to his lair to devise an appropriate response.
-In the 3rd, Wilson turned a double play on a ground ball from Christos, forcing Jimmy out at 3B then throwing home to get Reese out.
-No Fundamentals managed only six (6!) hits. Seriously, six.
-Alejandro, in fulfillment of a lifelong dream, received his first ever starting nod. He acquitted himself nicely, allowing no earned runs over 3, hitting John B for looking at him funny and doing a Suzy Q on the mound.
-Some guy arrived to the field in time to play, stayed for the whole game and did not play. He just...stood there...watching us. Creep.
-Jimmy had an excellent curveball going in his 5 innings of work. Some of them were even called for strikes!
-Wilson did not wear pants until the 2nd inning. When asked why, he blamed a phantom "No Pants Game" memo. Sure, guy, sure.
-Christos recorded a 4 inning save, allowing no hits and only one run in his first 3 innings of work before faltering in the 9th.
-The tying run came to bat in the bottom of the 9th in the form of Vicki Siesta. This was in stark contrast to the previous two weeks when the tying run came to bat in the form of the Smoke Monster.
-But really, this was the 3rd consecutive game where the tying run came to bat in the 9th inning.
-OMG, what if Vicki IS the Smoke Monster?!?! Mind. Blown.
-Post-game festivities occurred at Hooter's. People were forced to stand on pedestals and flap their arms in celebration of...something?
-There was continued discussion of when ESC X: Do the Right Thing will take place. Leading at the moment is Saturday, August 28th. Discussion will continue...
