Ligers Lie in the Bed They Made; Proceed to Shit in It.

"Ligers started off with a few great games last year and then we shit the bed....I think we start off shitting the bed this year." -Litman

The man is a prophet.

After taking an early 7-3 lead over Off Constantly, the Ligers loaded the bases with zero outs. Two kicks later the inning was over with no runs scored.

"The Rays did this exact same thing the other night, and then blew their lead. We're done! We might as well forfeit and go to the bar." -Litman (before the next inning).

Again... fucking Nostradamus.

Thanks to two defensive errors by Chandler, one awkward brain-fart by Souder, a couple of excruciating plays by Johnny, and a few more base-running errors... the Ligers lost 8-7. Typical. But the game was fun, and I really hate to say this... but Off Constantly was kinda nice.

Beardface didn't lose his temper during the few close calls that went against them. None of their girls tried to trip anyone or condemn Rollo's soul to Hell. And even when it looked like they were going to lose, they kept their sorrow on the inside.

Part of this might be due to us having a great ref (E-Flo) who everyone knows and most people respect. I think the player-ref thing is going to work out great this season.

As for the field... we were on mud-pile field 2... after two games had already played. And know what? Both teams bobbled a few balls that normally would have been caught clean, but the game was fine. Kickball was played, beers were drank, Jacked Up girls were checked out.

Welcome back.

That field was terrible, and both teams played sloppily because of it. Ligers v OC should never be that high scoring. We did all have fun, though, so it worked out. Looking back on it, I feel a little like we rushed the field for a win over Bowling Green, but the exuberant celebration just seemed so right at the time.

Looking forward to more fun kickball and hopefully less muddy fields.

It was a great game to ref...And I think you're exaggerating a bit when you say "most" people respect me.

I'll admit... I was pretty on with my predictions. Genius.
