At Pittsburgh Central Catholic us basketball coaches like to post ridiculous quotes directed at our team by opponents in the locker room as motivation. I think I will do the same thing here. Only instead of posting them in a locker room I will use this blog to motivate the Ducks.
The following comments were made on the Bulldogs Blog:
Go Go Gray Bats writes, “Hey, we’re 1-7, not 1-8! And it’ll be 2-8 after the Gray Bats a’la orange some duck next Monday. That’ll be a Memorial day to remember, Im sure.”
Sorosky chimes in with, “Paul Altmyer will throw zeros versus the Ducks. And the Rebels sent me a detailed pitching report of Homa. The Gray Bats will score more runs than the Ducks…. Gauranteed”
Come on Gray Bats……I usually root for you guys, but the Ducks are gonna have to stomp on you this Memorial Day.
S.C.C. was not very well written ( like I have room to talk) and often made little sense due to incoherent or underdeveloped storylines that I kept waiting to be resolved or perpetuated at a quicker pace instead of reverting into the “John Connor is a teenager who saves the world but still has issues with his mom just like other teenagers” sub plots that took away from the “Is john going to have robot sex with the girl terminator, and what is going on with Skynet, the redhed T-1000, and how are they going to explain the paradox they have created with the various loops in time and space.
(she’s a robot)
That stuff that was more pressing to me. Specifically the show’s treatment of the different rifts in time, and how the rules of the reality of the show were established and exposed on a weekly basis, I feel like the writers must have cheated, or just never got the chance to convince me they had a plan that would at least make sense within the time travel rules of the Terminator world.
But it was entertaining, and as a sci-fi fan (a huge supporter of any post-apocalypictic/time travel story and the first two Terminator films) who is without cable the show provided a much anticipated hour of robot filled destraction that i didn’t have to stream on my laptop to enjoy.
I’m going to see Terminator Salvation this weekend when I have some down time in A.C. and Strom is doing a memorium on the S.C.C. on his web show, and I am going to try to help him out with that if I have a chance.
thanks for reading.
Jesse Smith could have killed the terminators himself.
It was a batte of Shakespearean proportions as Mantis (1-0) won his pitching debut for the South Oakland Ducks of the North Side (7-3), out-dueling NABA great, starting pitcher Dan “Dr. Venkman” Morgan (1-1) of the Bulldogs (3-4), to help the Ducks earn a hard-fought 4-2 victory over their foils in the Campbells Conference.
Ducks fans are invited to dress up like their favorite Duck. I recomend Goldberg. *** The Bulldogs are invited to join the Ducks for drinks after the game at that bar we pass on the way up to the field. The one with the bars over the windows, and the plywood door. Don’t wear red. ***
Last year’s Bulldogs, Ducks game was more nerve-wracking than the two years you spent dating a girl with Borderline Personality Disorder. (She seemed so normal.)
The Ducks lost 5-4 on a walk off double in a game that was conveniently moved up 3 hours, forcing Capatain America and Keeper of the Helmets, Les is More, to get stuck in Maryland or something en route to what they thought was a 9pm game.
(Why is this guy always lurking around the Bulldogs team facility?)
Tonight’s match-up expects to be more of the same, with fewer walk off doubles by the Bulldogs.
Dr. Jones returns tonight, after an exciting weekend of adventure that actually was set to “JON” Bon Jovi music.
Why not add another player?
Roster-Limit City.
Kelly Leek’s most recent role in Watchmen.
Sub-plots: Ghostbusters Dr. Venkman was perfect against the Confederacy this season. Last season I claimed Strom was “not a pitcher”. He proceeded to earn the win in the game against us a couple days later. (good call, dick)
It took a little longer than desired, but the South Oakland Ducks returned to their winning ways Sunday, topping the Matadors 4-2.
The Ducks didn’t waste any time getting a run on the board as catcher Chris Dowling plated Tony Casale (who reached on a fielder’s choice after a failed sacrifice) thanks to an error by the shortstop in the top of the first inning.
Adam Smith worked through the first inning fairly easily, aided by a nice double play turned by Casale and Dickey. Smith did run into some trouble in the bottom of the second; walking a few batters, hitting one dude, and then allowing a single which squeaked through the middle of the infield, scoring two Matadors. Smith quickly regained his composure though, as he started off a 1-2-3 double play, before getting the third out.
The Ducks entered the third inning trailing 2-1 but turned the ship around due to some timely hitting. Dowling whacked an RBI single down the left field line, followed by a bloop single by preseason MVP Jesse Smith scoring another Duck. The Ducks would then add a fourth run in the fourth after Rick “Flailin’” Whalen cracked a ball into right field, plating a run and ending up at third with a possible triple (although I call it a double with an error).
After throwing four very solid innings, Smith was pulled by interim manager Mark Guthrie and replaced by Tyler. Tyler ended up pitching quite well in his Ducks debut, going the final three innings, allowing no runs. Matadors’ pitcher Corey Yokel went the whole game, only allowing four runs, but ended up with the loss as his team failed to score outside the second inning.
Bullet Points:
-Adam Smith is 3-1 this season. He went four innings, allowing only two runs and was arguably at his best during his last two innings. -Both teams had to lug equipment across North Park thanks to a mean cop who had the road next to Pie Traynor shut down. What a nutty day in the park. -We had two umpires today. They got there on time and actually seemed to give a damn, nice. Not to mention, there failed to be any glaringly bad calls today. -Each team rolled quite a few double plays today, leading to a quick game, which was just shy of two hours. -Mark Guthrie is 1-1 as Ducks manager. -Dickey now has the Ducks most theatric catch of the year.
