We&#8217;ll see you at the lounge this offseason Swinging Stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, I, Shaun Keay, would like to congratulate myself (Shaun Keay) on recording my 300th career hit, which came on a second inning RBI bloop single to right.\u00a0 It would\u2019ve been nice to know this at the time, but Craig was convinced I was at 298 heading into this game (E5); it wasn\u2019t until Cory did the stats a few days later that we realized this epic milestone was missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Missing this game for the SweatSox was Mr. Shmedium himself, Ross Hughes, who was stuck at home trying to fix his air conditioner.\u00a0 We did try giving him pointers on how to quickly fix it so he could play:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Changing the filter<\/li><li>Checking for loose wires<\/li><li>Turning on the furnace switch<\/li><li>Turning the whole unit off and back on again<\/li><li>Unplugging it<\/li><li>Taking a shot of whiskey<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He had already tried all those things, so he tried Cory\u2019s ingenious 5-step method to fix AC&#8217;s:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>We can have lots of fun<\/li><li>There\u2019s so much we can do<\/li><li>It\u2019s just you and me<\/li><li>I can give you more<\/li><li>Don\u2019t you know that the time has arrived<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That also didn&#8217;t work.  It turns out Cory was confusing his &#8220;air condition repair steps&#8221; with his &#8220;getting to the girl steps&#8221;.\u00a0 Ross did not make it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">SweatSox outhit the Reapers 10-3,  but we lost the game 7-3 under the mostly working lights at the Sportsplex.<br><br>Reapers are now looking to start a backup team with the 14 spares they had on hand tonight.<br><br>Thanks to everyone who helped get the Splex \u201cplayable\u201d throughout the day. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qq4h9A9nHO\">pic.twitter.com\/qq4h9A9nHO<\/a><\/p>&mdash; SweatSox (@SweatSox) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SweatSox\/status\/1557256378200244224?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 10, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Final SweatSox vs Reapers Notes\/Thoughts:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Kent definitely pulled a pig, pork, ham, and bacon last game.<\/li><li>Cory only buys Baconators for self isolators.<\/li><li>It was silly hot on Saturday.<\/li><li>Lett may have signed us a backup catcher for the playoff run.<\/li><li>Craig is always ready to play.<\/li><li>Josh is the Eternal Cloud.<\/li><li>Kent\u2019s go-to alias is Kenneth Von Ostrich.<\/li><li>Ross\u2019 steroids aren\u2019t working, but they are shrinking the testes.<\/li><li>Nobody looks at the schedules Cory sends, even though it\u2019s got the beer days on them.<\/li><li>Jas forgot to switch to his burner when responding to his own post.<\/li><li>Now that we\u2019ve clinched, I\u2019m allowed to go back and post the old game recaps.<\/li><li>You can\u2019t have a 1.0 without first having a 0.0.<\/li><li>Cory should be hitting.
