Another person who almost didn\u2019t make the game was the scheduled starting pitcher for the SweatSox: Josh Ramage.\u00a0 Despite a mass-text sent out by The Authority, the team schedule posted on our website by me, the Tier 2 schedule created by the Commissioner uploaded to the NCBL site, and our game log page also on the NCBL site which is maintained by the NCBL webmaster, all saying our start time was 6:00pm, Ramage swears he read 6:15pm \u201csomewhere\u201d.\u00a0 He must still be feeling the effects of the Winchester flu.<\/p>\n
A SUPERFAN DONKEY PUNCH<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n With Josh still under the weather, it was up to the defense to play above and beyond the call of duty; meaning we were expected to play at a Tier 4 level, instead of the standard 5.\u00a0 Well, 3 first inning errors leading to 3 Expo runs was not the start we were looking for.\u00a0 The Expos would go on to score 4 more runs in the 3rd, and the SweatSox were down 7-0 for the first time since August 1, 2012 (this was the game Daniel Villeneuve struck out the side vs Winchester).<\/p>\n I\u2019LL BE OUTSIDE SO I DON\u2019T COCK-BLOCK YOU<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n In the top of the 4th<\/sup>, with a runner already in (MBond RBI single) and the bases loaded & nobody out, the SweatSox were setup to score at least one more run.\u00a0 In true SweatSox fashion, we recorded 3 straight outs over the next two batters, culminating with Martin Trepanier down at the plate holding his knee after trying to fly over the catcher.\u00a0\u00a0 FLASHBACK<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Both teams would go on to trade 4 runs each over the final 3 innings, leading to a 11-5 Expos win in a game the Expos controlled from the beginning.\u00a0 Expos 11, SweatSox 5.\u00a0 Final.<\/p>\n The winner of the 2004 A&W Kamloops International Baseball Game MVP Award is: Mark Bond.\u00a0 The WMD had a two hit game, including a double, stolen base, RBI, and run scored.\u00a0 He also made his 2nd appearance of the season on the mound, throwing the final two innings to close the game.<\/p>\n \u201cSTACEY\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Honourable mentions go out to: John Groves, who was 2\/2 with an RBI.\u00a0 Denver Hunt, who made his 2014 season debut in the final inning, in CF no less.\u00a0 Cory Bond, who recorded 4 outs in 5 batters in his season debut on the mound in relief.\u00a0 Craig Cornell, with one of the finest diving scoops you\u2019ll ever see (but threw a Daisy Duke to 1st<\/sup>).\u00a0 Mark Dorrington, who led the team with 2RBI in his season debut.<\/p>\n YOU REMEMBER THAT DON\u2019T YOU?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The winner of the anti-award Odlid, which when received metaphorically CUTS LIKE A KNIFE, is: Marc Lett.\u00a0 OML picks up his first \u201cunit\u201d for no other reason than forgetting that there was still a game going on after Trepanier got hurt.\u00a0 Instead of putting his catchers gear on and going out to catch, GZaun just stood there like he was on CLOUD NUMBER NINE.\u00a0 After what seemed like 14 minutes of Cory yelling at Lett from the mound, he finally came to and declared I\u2019M READY, now LETS MAKE A NIGHT TO REMEMBER.\u00a0 I guess he just needed a few minutes to come to terms that this wasn\u2019t going to be\u2026wait for it\u2026THE SUMMER OF #69!!!!!<\/p>\n HAIRDRESSER HARD\u2019ON<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The Apr\u00e8s Baseball Hyjinx was hosted by: Kent Johnston, who earlier in the day won the 2014 Ottawa Marathon.<\/p>\n For the first time this season, there were wieners in the circle (thanks GLE), and we\u2019re not talking about the Odlid.\u00a0 Earlier in the day, in a Twitter exclusive, it was revealed that the BBQ has been found:<\/p>\n Without any preseason, the BBQ wasn\u2019t in game shape just yet, shutting itself down after a few minutes of activity (much like the SweatSox in the 1st<\/sup> inning).\u00a0 Feeling as if the BBQ owed him one after all the time they\u2019ve spent together, Marc Lett had a one-on-one with the \u2018cue, whispering: (EVERYTHING I DO) I DO IT FOR YOU.\u00a0 The BBQ worked perfectly from that point forward.<\/p>\n The Hyjinx continued with: Chris Lidstone modeling his new purse\u2026<\/p>\n \u2026Lambeau making out with Cop:<\/p>\n \u2026Trepanier returning to the field to partake in the Hyjinx (shoutout to Trep\u2019s dad for joining the Hyjinx, and drinking more than Cory has all season):<\/p>\n \u2026the Consultant getting an \u201cearful\u201d from the Shostappa:<\/p>\n \u2026Josh getting iced:<\/p>\n \u2026Lidstone getting iced:<\/p>\n \u2026and the SweatSox doing their part for the environment by watering the surrounding plant life:<\/p>\n When all the beer and all the frankfurters (including the one off the ground) were gone, it was time to head over to our team sponsor\u2019s establishment, East Side Mario\u2019s.\u00a0 FYI- we negotiated an amazing deal where at the end of the season they\u2019ll give us 10% back on whatever we spent there.\u00a0 Try to beat that deal; I dare you!!!<\/p>\n NOBODY CAN RAPE THAT ONE<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The Apr\u00e8s Hyjinx Hyjinx got off to a depressing start, when Cop shared a Reddit story involving a lost jolly rancher and a clump.\u00a0 The starting battery didn\u2019t seem too upset by it though:<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Mrs. Eric gave Eric the Heisman:<\/p>\n \u2026Eric plotted his revenge:<\/p>\n \u2026Mrs. Eric got iced:<\/p>\n Later on Cop\u2019s mouth got burned, at about the same time we found out the Fisherman recently burnt his \u201cbait\u201d:<\/p>\n I can\u2019t remember if the focus of this picture is supposed to be the beer Denver spilled, or whether Denver is thinking about the last time he got his neck trimmed:<\/p>\n When shoes and coasters started getting thrown around, we knew it was time to leave.\u00a0 Out in the parking lot, I took a picture with Denver:<\/p>\n \u2026But Eric got jealous, so I punched Denver in the face:<\/p>\n \u2026then I left:<\/p>\n \u2026and Eric finally got his picture with Denver:<\/p>\n Time for yet another SweatSox Public Service Announcement: When this car\u2019s a rockin, don\u2019t come a knockin\u2019!<\/p>\n![\"2014game03sixpm\"](\"http:\/\/sweatsoxbaseball.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/2014game03sixpm.jpg\")
