AND WE HAD TO GET OUR OWN BEER

And it was fucking Lionshead and, boo hoo hoo. Well, welcome to a new day. A little adversity didn't hurt you any, either, did it? Two games, two wins. So what if the manager had to write the lineup using a Frisbee as his clipboard? Does anyone remember what the official clipboard did for us all those games? Got us beat. That's what it did.

Yeah, a Frisbee. Get used to it.

Same goes for the lineup neatly posted on the fence, with the special black Sharpie and the highlighter and the titanium S-clip holding it all together. You don't need no stinking Sharpie. (The highlighter you will eventually miss, however. Mark my words.)
So, details are sketchy, because there aren't any, but it was a back-and-forth win over Bishop's Collar to open the season, and then a rousing butt-roasting for the Zoo in the next game. Nevins texted me or emailed me the scorebook page from the Zoo game, but I'll be damned if I can find it now. As I remember, there were a lot of hits.
Oh, wait. Here it is. Top four hitters in the lineup -- Proctor, Miller, Nevins and Donlen -- didn't make an out in 25 at-bats, with the exception of a Donlen sacrifice fly. That's not bad. Snyder, Lynch and Jimmy V. had some hits, too, Jimmy broke the goddam bat, and Kathy M. smoked the ball, but they kept catching it. There you go. Details.
Season continues Monday against the Honey Badgers. We split with them last season and they got better and better, eventually making the CCSL World Series. Courtney Sams makes her 2016 debut, now that the Flyers have finally gotten the ice cleared.
