After nine full days off, the SweatSox returned to action last night at Southgate against the Cornwall River Rats, a team having their way with Tier 2 this year, almost like they\u2019re playing video game baseball on the lowest difficulty setting.\u00a0 It\u2019s not too late to send them up to Tier 1 right now is it?\u00a0 After all, the league is bending some bylaws to get Jose Canseco on the field tomorrow night; we\u2019ll take the Outlaws or Cardinals back to even things out if need be.<\/p>\n

During the Cornwall double header 11 days ago, we saw River Rats pitchers 1-B and 1-C, last night we finally got to see their 1-A: James Amelotte.\u00a0 Pretty much like every pitcher we\u2019ve seen this year, 1-A had very little trouble disposing of the SweatSox, throwing a complete game shutout, striking out 13 and giving up just one hit: a broken bat single to Cory Bond.\u00a0 On the other side of the mound, SweatSox starter Martin Trepanier held his own for 6 innings, his only real blemish was a ground ball that 2B Ross Hughes couldn\u2019t handle, eventually leading to both River Rats runs.<\/p>\n

The winner of the 2004 A&W Kamloops International Baseball Game MVP award was: Martin Trepanier.\u00a0 The Wizard, pitching in his first game since injuring his knee nearly a month ago, threw 6 innings of 3-hit 0-earned run ball, striking out 8 and walking only 1.\u00a0 The winner of the anti-award Odlid was: Ross Hughes, not for the error that led to both runs, but for falling on his bum on a routine fly ball to 2nd, then curling into the fetal position in case the ball hit him on the way down.<\/p>\n

I also became aware during last night\u2019s game that some of the River Rats don\u2019t really know who I am.\u00a0 Gentleman (and lady), my name is Shaun Keay (#35), my birthday is March 4th, I\u2019m a 25-time winner of the 2004 A&W Kamloops International Baseball Game MVP award, I\u2019m the 2001 winner of the Doug Dorion Memorial Trophy, I once batted .592 in a season, and I may or not be a spelling bee moderator.<\/p>\n

The Apr\u00e8s Baseball Hyjinx was hosted by: Craig Cornell, who\u2019s feeling pretty good about his .120 average after seeing what everyone else on the team is hitting.\u00a0 Most of the pre-11pm Hyjinx (aka the Cornell threshold) was spent discussing whether or not we all got fatter (or buff in Army\u2019s case), or whether the new hoodies were really one size smaller than the label says.\u00a0 If things don\u2019t go well over our 2 games this weekend, there may be a SweatSox bonfire next week where we sacrifice the new jerseys, hats, and hoodies to the baseball gods and get back to our roots of random everything.<\/p>\n

The post-midnight portion of the Hyjinx was spent at the Royal Oak, where the topics of chiropractors, honking, bait-girls, blowing tubes, and the possibility of an Apr\u00e8s Season Vegas party were discussed.\u00a0 That took us until about 2am, about an hour after the Braves called it a night over at McCarthy.<\/p>\n

Next up for the SweatSox is our 3rd and final matchup with the Gatineau Marc Sports tomorrow night at Kinsmen.\u00a0 While the #gameofthenight may be at the Sportsplex with Canseco & the Athletics taking on the Bytown Battalion, things could be interesting at Kinsmen with rumours of a \u201cSuper Hyjinx\u201d being in play.<\/p>\n
