But we came to bury Caesar, not to praise him
Interesting little evening. I started out slow in game 1, but those who said so lived to regret their lies! Double Tin Man on you, LJ! The nubs were flubs on this day. Performances like this will not win you any votes for Point Guard of the Year.
OJ lost a few letters in the alphabet early on, and played as DJ, or Dashboard Jesus--his game was small. But he rallied in due time to bring a lot of games out of serious defecits.
Attorney Scott exemplifies the never say die attitude. Except for some times, you should! He had me about 70% on serves over the middle, but he still has the cheap date game syndrome--after 4 beers, he's yours!
Ford's hitting, as always, was tough. He's stolen TJ's pirouette. Fielding still an issue. Let me add one more. Get up out of the water as fast as you can with your hands up. A couple of times this didn't happen & the play was sitll alive--not every hit is going down!
When the sun goes down, the moon comes up. Death by moonball is one of the worst ways to go. Birthday girl Jessica is still addicted to show time and his new signature sky hook spike that leaves very little margin for error on the pass if you expect him to get it in.
We got lots of hitters, but, to quote a Chiefism: "If the set ain't pretty, big man looking shitty." Or the Hallmark version: "A set of beauty is a joy forever."
I spent most of the night playing small ball--was anyone on my team even 6'??? But that did mean I played with a bunch of point guardin play callin fools. And we did OK.
Just a couple of notes--no reason to be blowing 6+ point leads. I detected some "fluffer" mentality out there, and the people we're playing against are too good for that. Kick my ass and I'll accept it. Toy with me, and I'll be pissed.
Not every play has to go as called or drawn up, but dammit, this late in the season, how about more than 1 in 10!? Teams that recognize and exploit their matchups are going to win more often than not.
And let's look at the hitter's credo, "Just because I miss one doesn't mean you stop giving me the ball." Does this apply to everyone? Because I missed a couple in the back corner... I realize "2 to Chief" is not supposed to be a hitting situation. However, when we've tried everything else, twice, just maybe go my way? I realize you have to listen to a lot of options on the menu before this comes up--Press 4 for the Wild Boys and #*#**8 for the Chief hit.
Nothing more than coincidence, I'm sure(!), but when I sat on the sidelines, the games seemed to go more smoothly. The Birthday Boy Ford Juice Wescott show, representing ARGOSY, made short work of their opponenets time and time again. Damn proud I trained you mofos how to do that!
Let's talk about Sunday. F**k football. I want to play. Do we have game?
