CLEARWATER, FL - The Originals took a 26 to 13 beat down Wednesday Night, much of which was self inflicted.
-
To be fair, the Razzles Lounge Softball team has some good players, and on top of that, they were some tall dudes.
-The game started off with the Razzies up to bat. The first batter hit a weak pop up to short right center field. The Original's own "Sean, let me just lay here in the grass right now, Tobe," made a long run to get to it, but the ball ended up ricocheting off his glove and right into the part of his body that only men have, before landing on the green grass that makes up the outfield. After throwing the ball in, he had to take a little time out, and just lay there for a minute or so. No one that has felt that kind of pain begrudged him this respite. Second baseman, Adam "Gunshow" Lewis who was running back to see if he could make a play, was right there when it happened. His take on the situation was that he did not have a Video Camera rolling.-- "If I had tape of that, I am sure it is the kind of thing that America's Funniest Home Videos would have paid the 10k grand prize for. They love that type of stuff, I am telling you, it was classic ."
-Metaphorically speaking, this one play kind of summed up the entire rest of the night. Balls were hit by The Razzies. Many of them landed in the green grass of the outfield, but quite a few bounced off various body parts of the Originals' defense, including their glove hands.
-
"At least the Florida Gators Signed the number one recruiting class in the nation, so its not like everything went wrong today" commented Team Statistician, and Gator Fan, Lacy Lewis. She certainly can find a positive when the Originals have a suspect outing.
-
There were a few Highlights for the Originals. At one point the Razzies had a player on third base and the batter hit what seemed like a sure fire sacrifice fly, except Left fielder, Dan, "I have a Howitzer for an arm" shot him down at home plate like he was an overnight shift 7-11 clerk. Even this highlight though, ended up going to waste as the umpire called him safe.
-
Six Home runs were hit by the originals though, which is always good, and when I say the "Originals" I mostly Just mean "Dan the Howitzer" and Jeff "everybodys All American" Keener hit them, and when I say "always Good" I mean except for tonight. Even with those 6 Bombs, only 5 of them counted, because one of them was hit after the limit had been reached and before the home run extension had kicked in.
-
The home run that counted as an out for the Originals, was actually a Grand-Slam. "That's just the kind of night we had, even when we did good, we did bad" said team Dwight Freeney fill in, Karl, "just shoot my sprained ankle up" Forrest. Karl had sprained his ankle so bad in the previous game, that ESPN has constantly reported about it on the half hour, for 8 or 9 days straight. At this point we know Karl can, and will play through it, the jury is still out on Freeney though.
-
The Originals will attempt to bounce back from this loss on February 10th, at the Drew Street softball facility against the next team up on The schedule.
