Snatching Defeat from the Jaws of Victory
The McNeill's Brewers won a game this past Sunday. I haven't written about it because I wasn't there. But I've decided to hold steadfast to the belief that the rare win and my absence are unrelated.
It looks like we may have found a way to get Crazy Brian to shut up. Crazy Brian is one of those great clubhouse guys. He screams, he gets us psyched, he makes outrageous jokes, even occasionally does World Wrestling impressions in the dugout. Umpires have told him to relax. He's one of our more consistent hitters, and plays a reliable left field. On Sunday, he hit the ball the opposite way just over the fence for a home run, and he was so stunned, he couldn't speak. A first. And his homer was the difference, as the Brewers defeated Hotel Pharmacy 4-3.
Hotel Pharmacy have protested the game, however, and the Brewers will probably receive yet another loss. While the league isn't officially "over 30," pitchers and catchers must be. There can be the occasional exception, but our third (or fourth) pitcher Dave wasn't cleared by the league to be one.
So even when we win, we lose. Go Brewers!

Update on the Brewers saga - There is still hope for a reversal of the forfeit. It appears that Hotel Pharmacy might have used underage players in a few of there victories this season, so as not to let that can of worms woop them back in the face, they may withdraw their protest and let Dave G. who will be 29 very shortly get a retroactive age addition by the commish because he plays for the Brewers (Commish's special powers) It turns out that Andrew got special pitching certification from the commish and is only 28,
