G.D. Newsletter "Sure to Entertain" 6th ed.

Week 6 of the Glory Days Sports Coed Softball...(that is usually how I start the Newsletter, than I go on to right something Clever and Awesome). This week, I have to admit, my attitude toward writing the Newsletter, has not been Awesome (as Awesome as typically so anyway). I have come up with a great analogy to explain the circumstance I find myself in.

The "drug dealer and the crack addict". The drug dealer provides entertainment, at least initially to the "s00n to be" addict. Then somewhere along the line the addict no longer looks for the entertainment, they just need a fix. They do nothing but think about the drug itself all the time. This is when the dealer begins to feel huge amounts of pressure to continue to be able to supply the addict...the many addicts that he has created.

To the many G.D. Newsletter addicts out there, here is your fix! Don't make me cut you off.


NOW TO THE SCORES:

Game 1
ARH smokes the Buttermakers 21-7.
Highlights- Not only did Kevin Curcio of ARH knock a HR over the fence but he also pitched an Awesome game (to all the Buttermaker women that is)! He refused to give the guys of the "Bad News Bears" a pitch to hit. To K.C. and the rest of the Sunshine Band, we are catching on to your strategies!

Game 2
Highlighters out shine Title America 14-7.
Highlights- The dance party that Team Awesome put on before the game! Vince and Brian also hit back to back HRs off our leagues finest pitcher! Chrissie I do believe they are figuring that high arch out...time to switch it up a bit!

Game 3
Lawnkrafters take the Buttermakers out to the wood shed 34-1.
Highlights- Brian Pino pitches a gem (only 1 run allowed)! Nick Gargano of the Buttermakers (also our partner at Glory Days Sports) played a stellar 3rd base! SYKE! Balls were eating him up all over the place...from what I gather anyway!!!

Game 4
Lawnkrafters continue their daily onslaught, this time against TnA (Title America) 15-6.
Highlights- Bo Jackson makes a guest appearance at short stop! He not only made a brilliant diving catch in the field but ran up the wall (the Back Stop) after every run he scored (that was several, he told me personally)!!! Scott McBrearty is not only there for your entertainment but he seems to be hitting the hell out of the ball too!

Game 5
Green Monsters shutout the Blue Jays (your team name will no longer appear in bold, you do not deserve it!) 14-0.
Highlights- Benny and the Green Machine's major highlight was reading the schedule! Pitcher of the Green Monsters, Tony mocks the BJs with his hard hat and overall "Village People" look (pictured above)!

Game 6
ARH completely roll over the BJs (how about Dazzy Es in bold instead...e for errors that is) 27-2.
Highlights- Gregg Silvesti hits 2 more bombs over the fence! He then proceeded to remind fellow teammate Ricky Haggen about them on Facebook a couple of days later. Ricky rolled his eyes and clicked the "like this" button; to humor Gregg of course. Then writes me in private and asks me if there is anyway to get this, "...lime-light stealer off my team! I am supposed to be the gosh darn Phillie around here. Look at my baseball pants damn-it!" Sorry Ricky, he is all yours! How does second fiddle sound?


Updates

*** The Coed Softball Fall League looks to be a huge success as well. Glory Days Sports has confirmation from 5 teams already and almost a 6th. Teams returning include Title America, Buttermakers, Lawnkrafters, and at least one Dazzy Os team. 1 new team from the men's league prior to our games on Sundays will also be joining us. ARH is almost set to return but just wants to make sure they can win the Championship again (sorry, a bit of foreshadowing there).

*** Sunglasses were left on ARHs bench after the game. The may have been from the game before, as Roger of the Green Monsters was seen donning a pair of feminine glasses.

*** Rule Clarification (the Kevin Curcio Rule)
-the umpire will use his discretion, on the pitchers intent, when walking a guy batter immediately before a girl batter
-if ruled intentional, the girl batter will then have the option to take 1st base or swing away

***Do not forget to preregister for the Wiffle Ball Tournament to receive a FREE T-SHIRT! Follow the link above for further information.

***Moving Forward Rentals (Segway Rentals and Tours of Sea Isle City) is also like a drug dealer! Segways are very addicting...click the link above to find out why! Sorry for the shameless promotions guys!!!

Until next week...this is Jamie Connor signing off!
