The Drew street Softball Facility in Clearwater Florida welcomed back the reigning Rec League Champions tonight. The season started a week late because League officials forgot to sign up for the use of the park. It was like a holdout by the players, or a lockout by the league, except it was really just someone forgetting a little detail. It was like the bay of pigs for the hack league Softball loving crowd last week.

During the skirmish with the Cubans, the time change was not factored in by the people that were supposed to provide air cover, and this past week, someone was evidently goofing off watching porn on their work computers when they should have been tending to the details of Hack League softball management. Heads will roll, and someone, somewhere pounded a shoe on a table due to this screw up.
-After the week long delay, the prior season's league champions, opened the winter league up with an 18 to 15 victory, and in doing so, displayed all the veteran Savvy of the championship team they are.
-
The opponents, as the visitors, opened the first inning with 5 runs, which included two bombs.

The veteran Originals did not seem phased. In much the same way Bobby Bowden did interviews during the game towards the end of his run at FSU, this columnist spoke with team captain "Adam" during the middle of the inning. I asked him if this initial barrage by the newcomers was a wake up call? Was he aware that the championship trophy has to be earned EVERY season, and that maybe the originals were a one hit wonder, much like the Divinyls, whose song " I touch myself" became a cult classic and whose group never duplicated that success? Adam's reply cannot be conveyed in it's entirety, but the gist of the thing was that he was cold , and he wanted to know how his new grey shirt looked on him with the sleeves cut off, and the remnants of one of those sleeves being his new head ware? --- Pretty stupid Adam, pretty f-ing stupid.

The bottom of the first, demonstrated for all in attendance that the champions would not just fold due to a little barrage of runs that included two shots that went out of the park. Lead off hitter "William, I play third base like Craig Nettles " opened it up with a hit, Number two hitter "Sean, lets go to the lingerie football game this Friday" followed with a solid shot, and "Ben, let me just bust open the shins of the opposing team's third basemen" followed that with a shin shot off of the hot corners tibia, or is it the fibia? (one of the two smaller ones that connect to the femur. the front one of the two) This brought up "Jeff, I am in a different league then all these other guys I call my teammates," He did the thing he does, and suddenly it was a 4 run bottom of the first for the defending Champions.

Jeff was allot like Brad Pitt in the movie Oceans Eleven, Twelve and Thirteen. Sure he is going to pull the heist , but he is going to do it with all his sidekicks hanging around and getting a little bit of air time themselves, plus Julia Roberts is kind of hot. Its a formulaic movie, but someone has to be George Clooney and Julia Roberts, and the Originals are ready for another box office success. More than half of the 18 runs the Originals eventually scored were due to the bat of the originals version of Brad Pitt, but some of the moviegoers actually came out just to see Julia Roberts and she did not disapoint. The originals did not throw the ball around to much, played solid enough defense and in the end the whole cast ended up contributing to the apparent success of the sequel.
