As I write this, the Twins are giving the game away against Seattle. 6 runs in the 6th? Really? 6 runs? Scottie Baker obviously didn't drink his full glass of milk this morning, and the Twins bullpen makes me want to kill bunnies and small children. I do enjoy late inning comebacks, so I'm hoping that's what the team has in order for this afternoon.
Last night, one of the big three off-season deserters returned to the Dome, with promises of groundballs and mound visits from God. That's right, The Jackal was back. He lasted three and a third, running into an angry grizzly bear, a little superhero, and an awfully mousy shortstop along the way.
In addition, the Saint was throwing God's fury at the heathenish Mariner's lineup. He pitched 7 innings of heavenly work, turned the dugout Gatorade to wine, and helped a crippled man walk again. After the game, the Saint said that he was inspired to pitch so well after watching the JPLMC dodgeball team's championship run on Thursday night.
Yes, you did read that correctly. After four summers of coming close, the Joe Perillo Lethal Mustache Coallition is the champion of summer league dodgeball. An undefeated season, a dominant playoff run, a keg/cup trophy, a life-long dream realized. It feels so much better after the bitter defeat that we suffered last summer, and the post-season party definitely reflected that. The winner each week during the regular season receives $50 in coupons to a bar (Duffy's) that sponsors the league. We accumulated $500 of these Duffy Dollars throughout the season and put them to good use on Thursday night. By the end of the evening we had successfully tagged every member of the team, various bar patrons, our server, our dodgeball, and the cashier at a late-night pizza place with lethal mustaches.
I have to thank JPLMC and Kochasaurus for providing endless amounts of smashing throughout the last couple of years in Chicago. It feels great to be a champion. I plan on having a sit down with the entire Twins roster to explain how good it feels to be in first place. Hopefully then they won't continue to have this see-saw battle with the Sux for the next two months.
As I write this, Captain Busch just hit a walk-off sac fly. Not exactly the walk-off that I was hoping for, but exciting nontheless. Go Twins.
JPLMC fo' life.
