Note to self: better management of the Friday-Saturday transition is in order, the bottom line being don't show up to play 7 times distilled. Deto relearned ths lesson on Sunday.
Monte Vista was something of a disappointing venue, due to the flimsy net, numerous slippery spots, drain pain, and some pretty lackluster play. Although the bizarre addition of the "changing room" curtained off area they have set up next to the pool is something I've never seen before. I hope the slippery issue was not a harbinger of post construction difficulties, and that the ladders newly installed at home are not there for us to hold on to in order to maintain footing.
Clearly the old folks team has a lot of work to do. I recall getting spanked pretty severely. If only we could turn Tin Man into Tin Machine...
Ford & Hannah played fine, but LJ got so disgusted at the general level of suck that he took off on a scouting mission to Tammor. I still disagree in terms of the net height--I scouted this place with Doc Shizzle a couple of years back (actually got in and batted the ball around for about 15 minutes) and I remember the net being waay too low for our purposes. Did they raise it?
BTW, does anyone have my beat up red and black ball? I took off in a hurry and left it behind on Saturday.
And why was I leaving in a rush? I was hoping to escape the mob of locals armed with torches and pitchforks that should have been assembling to run us off. Really, people. If we're trashy with out empties, our speech, and our behavior, it's going to be a very short day for me, because I don't intend to stick around for the consequences that are so richly deserved. At least I sucked in relative silence. Enough, already!
From Chief to Chicken Man--Beyond the Glory: The KN Story
I simply will not subject the Double Secret Venue (DSV) to this type of abuse. The "chicken man" has managed to procure a running invitation at this place, and they've improved quite a bit in the 2 years it's been since we last visited. They also checked out the website, which is cool. For Pandas who are searching for a home, you might want to try living at this place. They are in need of a new net, though, so I'm thinking it's probably time to stop by Academy...
So Doc got to say "servisss" again on Sunday, and Deto, Thomas ("Iceman") JB and Pants filled out the rest of the squad. Most of the marquis crew was playing baseball, but they had their Scott and a couple of sand ballers, Randle and KZ (Kevin Zone) who provided competition, even though the last new ball in my possession (Red White & Blue balls) is pretty darn slippery.
I may switch and hit DSV on Saturday this week, to avoid the possible baseball drain of players. I'd like to catch some game at the Riata soon. Let me know when you've got the heat pacified again, and get some digits from the sand ballers and persuade them to at least show up for the head count. Whip that place into shape, Crawfish!
