Week 5 Picks & Recap

So despite balloons, streamers and cake... MLoop did not show up for his Appreciation Week.  While it was a little disappointing and anticlimactic, I think most of the league had fun.  "I guess I'm not surprised.  Don't celebrities not show up to their events all the time? I think Paris Hilton does that a lot..." pondered Knowlton after the Ligers' game.

Oh well... maybe we just aren't that important.  :(

- So Griff went perfect (8-0) in the picks... and gets one drink from Caruso, who lost yet again with 4 incorrect guesses.  Good job, Bambi.

- Shocker Rob tells me that the Yeagabombs used they Douche Play against them (purposefully dropping an "infield fly").  Tisk tisk, Yeagabombs.  The ToeJammers and Tony haven't even done that this year.

That is all.

Yes it's true, the Toejammers or Tony haven't resorted to the "Douche Play" yet, but the Shockers certainly did in their game against us!

So let us all remember what is written in Good Book:

Douche unto others as you would have others douche unto you!

I did not know that. Thanks Rosey! That kind of insight keeps your contributor picture up! Haha

Rob... you had it coming, allegedly.

Rosey said...

Haha, sweet! Safe ... at least until the next disruption of the space time continuum.

I remember that play. It was a hard kick at our first basemen. He couldn't hold it and it hit off his shoulder. it looked more accidental then intentional. If he meant to do it, he made it look good and sold it. The Orange clown was a straight drop. And if both of you remember we got beat in tourney by 1 run on a douche move from the pick me up team.

that doesnt mean i dont think about doing it!

Pull the other one! It was a soft lob directly to the first baseman. He didn't even have to move!

Supposing he did blow the easy catch (which he didn't), in the spirit of douchless good sportsmanship he could've just tagged out the runner and allowed the kicker to reach base.

Not buying it! That play was a perfect 10 on the Not So Fresh Feeling Scale.

Were you the kicker?

My favorite "Douche Play" story:

Tony did it to us a couple of seasons ago. A situation later in the game came up where we could do the same thing. So I tell Bull if it comes to me at 1st, I'm gonna make it happen.

A soft pop-fly is kicked to me, and not only do I "accidentally" drop it out of reach, but I only have time to tag the kicker.

I throw to 2nd anyway for fun but the girl running there was safe by a mile. Thankfully Huffman told her it was a foul ball, and she starts walking back to 1st. We then tag her out.

Play stands. All douche levels were restored to equilibrium.

Saw the Shockers first baseman pull the douche play in back to back weeks. Once when we were playing them and then again when I was reffing. That is not including the the hard hit ball that went off his shoulder against TBN.

I remember the play you speak of Chandler. We were even when you attempted the douche play but somehow messed it up by bouncing it off your chest. The person in question you took advantage of at 2nd was Alicia. I think she is still pissed about that.
