The SPLEXXX– On July 26th, the SweatSox and Rockets played on the always pristinely maintained field known as Hamilton Yards at the Nepean Sportsplex, for the 4th and final time this regular season. Unfortunately for us, a Rockets 8-run 5th inning turned what was at the time a very competitive game into a blowout, and we ended up losing the game 9-2, and the season series 3-1.
Josh Ramage got the start for the SweatSox, and was brilliant through 4 giving up just 4 hits and a walk, but the extra pitches thrown, after the countless errors behind him, from just about every defensive position, eventually became too much for our Hero of Hydration to overcome. In fact, the defense was so fucking bad, when Josh got home he lost control of his bodily functions, and ended up puking and shitting at the same time for quite a while.
With Ramage only throwing 5, we needed someone to throw the final 2, and that man was our greatest left ever: Cory Bond. Strategically, we were hoping to save GLE for Game 1 of our inevitable playoff matchup against the Rockets, much like they’re keeping Murphy hidden from us until that showdown, but Josh said Cory was in, so Cory had to go in. CBond gave up a hit and a walk in his 2 innings pitched, and finished strong by striking out the gauntlet of Lenardon, Richardson, and most notably Toll back-to-back-to-back.
There was nothing to report about our offense.
Skipping out on the Apres Baseball Hyjinx for the 2nd time in 3 games was Josh Ramage, who was worried a foul ball from the Tier 1 game after us would hit his car, so he took off right after the final out.
Leading up to the game, there was some confusion about who was going to be hosting the Hyjinx. Thankfully, we got to the bottom of it and figured it out, eventually. Here’s how that went down…
Kent was on beer, until Eric orchestrated a 3-way trade which he later reneged on, but still offered to give it back to Kent if he really wanted in a straight up swap. Kent didn’t care, he just wanted to know what’s up. Eric didn’t want to confuse it, so he declared August 12th would be a BYOB, unless you’re Liddy and you’re also already bringing the team beers. But that didn’t solve the original issue of the July 26th beers, which may have also been BYOB. Eric eventually clarified after a directed question from Kent that he (Eric) is indeed on beers today. Also, Who was on first.
Final SweatSox vs Rockets Notes/Thoughts:
- Nothing beats a 9 darter.
- Los Vampiros pulled the ol’ KJ anticipation cancellation.
- I wonder exactly how much “love” has been absorbed into Kent’s loveseats.
- A garage simulator room would be way better than a garage living room.
- The Trideca has been activated.
- You don’t want to be on the receiving end of a Tech roast.
- Kelsey is a solid 2/10.
- Kent is willing to pitch in Arizona.
- We want to party where the Braumeisters party.
- Kent is a pinning legend.
- Josh is down, he is totally down, mark him down.
- Ross is definitely out for Winchester, and absolutely out for the Sportsplex.
- Kent is not a fan of anyone anywhere.
- The cloud is strong, hard to escape.
- Nobody pulls Josh Ramage except for Josh Ramage.
- Lett comes complete all the time.
- Tech can no longer stand anyone on this team.
- An autographed SweatSox ball would decrease the value of the ball.
- Piggybacks are out. Mulching is in. Munchers also welcome.
- A CRV full of mulch and a chicken is worth more than $20.
- Kent’s chronic heartburn could be relieved by giving birth.
- Lett should do more speeches at high schools.
- The best Harvey’s is somewhere between Ottawa and Montreal.
- Kent is a gum thief.
- I let Cory know that he really made both my 3-1 throws look really bad.
- In Tier 1, they field the ball cleanly and then throw the ball accurately. It’s weird.
- Kent is a mulcher!
