2 Game Winning Streak!

First streak of this length all year! We should be able to spread it to 3 on Monday. Our opponent, Don't Panic, is rumored to have not won a game in 5 years. Hello, Bad Gnus!

This week's game was pretty ugly. The Bad Gnus, gutted out a 6-4 victory, relying on their 4th string pitcher. Mixing walks, strikeouts and barbs to the opposing batters, John was a strong presence on the hill. John raced over from the emergency room at Kaiser in his scrubs. He wore his tye dye under his scrubs all day. That's good mojo.

There was a story that John had to call a t.o.d. on the ER table at 6:40 so that he could make game time. Maybe another 15 minutes and a few more shots from the paddles of life could have saved her. But John knew where his priorities lay. Speaking of outstanding commitment to the Gnus, Todd Sanfilippo spent the evening of his 13th wedding anniversary at the ballyard! No word yet if he spent the night of his 13th anniversary on his couch. Now, I don't know about the priorities of the record 5 Gnus that were on vacation on a Monday night. Doug will argue he was on a business trip, but if you are golfing during the day and drinking at night, that's a vacation, buddy. Used to be that the Gnus would leave on vacation on Tuesday and return on Sunday. Those were the days. By the way, I won't be at the game this Monday, Ryan has soccer practice.

Nothing too exciting happened in the game to recap. Bill recruited Arden Park softball whore Greg (not our Greg) to play on the team. Good work, Bill. He also brought his friend Jeff, fresh off the set of Entourage. Dude had the very stylish LA style vans with no laces and faux-shoelace rings. Jeff actually missed an inning because he was on a cell phone call. Now give Bill credit for having his friend's back, but Bill insistance that Jeff is making a movie and is on a business call was shot down after Jeff was overheard saying, in a sweet voice "I got a hit and an RBI". I don't think Jennifer Aniston's agent cares how he was doing in the game. Or maybe it was Jenna Jamison's agent. There was discussion in the dugout as to the types of films Jeff might be associated with.

Despite all the grief that I can give to Jeff, I was very pleased that he was out there. Not only was he a good guy, but he is the rare "Rex Davis" that is taking the Sam Adams Player of the Game. He was 3 X 3 and knocked in a couple of runs. He always seemed to be up or on base in a critical time of the game. His quick reflexs resulted in the final out of the game as he snagged a foul tip before it hit the ground. Good game Jeff. I'm sure after crashing at Bill's house for a while, you have had all the Sam Adams you can take.
