Out of the Ordinary

Field of Dreams. One of the greatest baseball movies ever made where they hardly play baseball. Albeit a fantasy, so seems the likelihood of a Moron win. In our moronic quest for a "W" last Tuesday night, this blogger lost interest in making light of a situation where clouds loomed. What's up with that? Why stop now? Just as Mark "went the distance" pitching two miraculous games with a bum arm, busted teeth, twisted ankle, and a blood alcohol level teetering at twice the legal limit, so too must the Morons march on. Our fans and readers have stepped up to the plate, paid their $2 each week to come out and watch their team. We owe it to them, to not only show up, but give our very best week in and week out. True we were 0-6 by 9:30 pm, but we fought and rallied our way to the end. That end lead us to the beer joint again, but at least we are good at that.

Under the Iowan lights it's not if you win or lose, it's the journey that counts, right? Speaking of journey, didn't that guy in Game 2 with the pony-tail look like a band member from Journey? And I guess you would classify the fly ball route the Boss takes as a journey. Ball mid-air, cap falls off head, Boss kneels, catches ball, stands up, picks up hat, throws to God knows where?!?!?!?!?!!? Oh and let's not forget the long journey back to the dugout after leading off at first base in a beer league with a no lead off rule. Now that can happen to anybody, we all understand, but ask yourself....why would Allen assault the base runner as he was rounding 3rd? Was he upset about being taken out of the pitching rotation? Did he not like the fact the guy had a pony-tail? Did he leave work with with his beans' unbalanced? Who knows?

Other strange occurrences happened that night for reasons we cannot possibly fathom. Apparently, James has mastered the art of invisibility. We looked out in right field in the first inning - no James. Second inning - no James......(someone said he was tying his new spike-less shoes). 3rd inning -he appeared as a apparition from the cornfield, but his jogging pants were chained to the ground as the fly ball bounced near him, but he was unable to move. Hmmm.

You know when you come to one of our games, you never know what can happen. Astonishing my good friends Kim and Paige stated it was so freaking hot, they had sweat in their crevaces......well.......not sure where to go with that one, just thought it was odd they mentioned it. And isn't it bizarre that Janet hates jugglers. You know if Presleigh wants to live the Carny life, why should Janet tell her to quit? Do you find it peculiar that Kevin's smallest little girl barks like a dog and pulls his shirt by her teeth? What a night! In the end, we found ourselves laughing, high fivin' and looking for more milk jugs. That's what we do. Plain and simple.

Thanks again to all the fans for their support. Love having you out there. Sorry for the delay in the blog. I promise it was out of the ordinary - just like a Moron.
