Week 7 of the Glory Days Sports Coed Softball...that is usually how Jamie starts the Newsletter, than he goes on to right something “Clever and AWESOME”. This week, Jamie must have been overwhelmed with scooter rentals because it is now Friday afternoon and still no signs of a newsletter. But what a week it was in Glory Days Sports Softball, I am still wiping the sleep out of my eyes from the “late night” games!
The Green Monsters flipped Glory Days Sports on its head the last week of the regular season! Not only did they show up 45 minutes late to their first game and throw the rest of the games out of whack, but once they finally got to the field they brought their “A” game! With the upset of the season!!! That’s right the SEASON!! The Green Monsters take out ARH and taints their perfect record and then goes on to take out #2 Team Awesome! The BJ’s are still trying to find there “rhythm”, Team Awesome isn’t so “Awesome”, LawnKrafters make a move in the standings, ButterMakers should try horseshoes cause they “almost” won and Title America didn’t look like they were taking any Titles anytime soon!
NOW TO THE SCORES:
Game 1
ARH LOSES to the Green Monsters 14-6.
Highlights- Green Monsters found their bat bag and ARH’s kryptonite at the bottom! Does there really need to be anything added to ARH LOSES under highlights?? Nothing against ARH but who doesn’t love when the underdog wins!
Game 2
Title America tie against Buttermakers 10-10.
Highlights- Yes, a tie! Ties suck but unfortunately we don’t have all the time in the world to play nor do the umpires so no winner at the conclusion of this game, just a tie. A hard fought game by everyone with a little controversy over the same rule! It was stated in the June 9th Newsletter that there would be NO foul to burn. That is the rule period.
Game 3
Lawnkrafters drops the BJs to their knees 13-1.
Highlights- The “Bash Brothers” Adam and Alex from the LawnKrafters each round the bases with Homeruns! Betty makes a stellar play at home plate for a double play. Brian Pino fights global warming with a huge whiff to cool everyone off!
Game 4
Green Monsters continue their giant swatting by beating Team Awesome 10-9.
Highlights- Readings by Flipper is wrong again! Flipper was overheard predicting a Team Awesome victory over the Green Monsters, which was about as accurate as the Heaven Gate’s / Hale Bop Comet prediction. John Sherwood takes a walk with bases load to get a 6 run rally started for Team Awesome, nothing like a STRONG walk to get things going. The rally wasn’t enough to beat the Green Monsters they were still on fire from beating ARH!
Game 5
ARH gets back to business and beats Title America 16-1.
Highlights- Even with Ricky taking it easy on the bases (Anyone that has seen Ricky run knows that he can at least make it to 3rd base on a shot to centerfield, in this game it was only a double!). ARH still managed to rack up 16 runs. Maybe it was to make up for a previous loss to the G.M.? Title America fought hard even though they only had 9 players; maybe they were just strategizing for next week’s playoffs.
Game 6
ARH beats Team Awful (Yes, after having to watch this boring game and your second loss of the day I have renamed the team more appropriately) 14-4
Highlights- Team Awesome was completely falling apart at the seams. John “the rally starter” Sherwood could do nothing but pop out with his mouth “full” this game! Dustin brought the circus to town and put ARH on the Merry go Round for most of the 5th inning with about 30 walks. Meanwhile ARH brings back there super human strengths. Even after waiting around for just about every game ARH shows no signs of fatigue as Kevin Curcio pitches a stellar game brushing off the frustration of their loss to G.M.. Kendall makes a diving play at second and throws out Nello of Team Awesome. Courtney Fernandez…well we just wanted to put her name in the newsletter!!

Excellent job this week Matt D. on picking up my slack.
Yes, Segway ("scooters, as you so eloquently wrote")Rentals are booming here in Sea Isle City! I have worked out a release with my captives though.
The week off from writing the G.D. Newsletter has done a lot of good for me. I will return to my duties this week...newly invigorated,as harsh and edgy as ever too!!! So look out everyone and good luck!
