I guess we would really need to check the definition of "squeaker". When Dog Sexy, Mojo, loses a squeaker, it's because he has ripped his toy "a new one" and the squeaker was then lost. When something just "squeaks" past me at home, it is usually a rat squeaking as he avoids my swinging broom in my garage. This game was somewhere between those outcomes but still involved destruction and smelly beasts. Ahern beat the Bad Gnus on the scoreboard 14-5. That doesn't seem very close when you just look on the surface. This game was much closer than that score indicated.
The important thing was by keeping the game within 16 runs, we didn't have to see B Diddy show at the park in his thin, ripped jockeys trying to tea bag the Big Sexy. The park rangers had been alerted to this threat of sexual assualt and had set up lawn chairs around the perimeter to not miss any minute of it. Freakin' rent-a-cops...
If Ahern played the Bad Gnus 10 times, they would likely beat us 9. The frustrating part of this game for the Bad Gnus is this really felt like this was the 1 time. If we could have only got the occassional clutch hit or spectacular defensive play or if Brett was there to kill a rally or two, the Gnus could have taken them on this night.
It started off on the right foot for the good guys. After two innings, the Bad Gnus held a 2-0 lead but ominously left 5 runners on base. In the top of third, Ahern got a handful of breaks that they neither need nor deserve. Blooping hits here, sneaking hits between infielders there and taking advantage of some defensive miscues, Ahern put up 7 runs. It seemed more like 5 and I wouldn't put it past the scorekeeper to trade some extra runs for some Coors Lights.
So with the score either 7-2 or 5-2 depending on who you believe, the Bad Gnus kept getting runners on, scoring a couple and leaving a few on. The turning point was the bottom of the 4th. With the Bad Gnus trailing 8-5, they promptly loaded the bases with one out and didn't get any runs. That rejection was all the action the Gnus had in them. After they shot blanks that inning, they rolled over and went to sleep for the rest of the game.
Ahern put together at least one other big inning to stretch out the lead. But we all know the game was well within reach.
It was a very difficult call regarding the Newcastle Player of the Game this week... Bill Moebs pitched spectacularly. He even got a hit! In the late innings, he came over and gave Mike a much needed hug in the middle of the inning after they were both too slow to catch a pop up in foul ground. Grabbing Mike's significant ass was a little unnecessary, but Bill can get handsy. The winner this week goes to Erik. He made a great catch in the outfield. Had a solid, two-run single when we were rallying. The tiebreaker goes to Erik as he also brought both and ice chest and a water jug full of beer.
Next week, the new blood of Arden Park gets their first taste of the tye-dyed wonder of the Bad Gnus. WIN Financial is a team that each of the other teams in the league want to beat. Not only for their barbed-wired arm tats coming out of wife beaters, their fancy cars and boats, their plastic women and their generally cocky attitude, but that monstrosity of a house they built across from the park needs to be answered for. Tuesday - 6:00.
