Dog Bites Man, Dies

Strathcona Park, BC, June 15, 2006. The dog in this case is the Hounds team, who mauled the Sausages and tore them link from link in Thursday's action. The final score was 17-4 for the Houngs. The Hounds had their long-haired 'A' chucker on the mound to start the game and he handled the men well, but the Sausages' girls took him to task and drove in all the Sausages' four runs. Sink went 3 for 3 and scored two runs. DeedeeK had one of her best hits of the year, and Mit was 2 for 3 at the dish. Norm! broke out of a mini-slump by clubbing a monster triple in the third. Shoe, T-Bag and Volley, usually a dependable heart of the order, were all ofers on the night, and Shoe had a disastrous two K's. Even Speed was human, going 2 for 4 on the night.
"I just wasn't pumped," muttered T-Bag.
"Three more weeks until my wife comes home," said Speed, looking a little sad.
Volley was complimentary of the Hounds' hitters. "They were good at taking the pitch off the plate and going with it, and with their speed, anything past the infield is a triple," he said.
"They were lean beans and they had the gears," added ME-ME.
Oh, and speaking of bangers, the answer to last week's trivia question was bangers. One of the other answers we received was "How about water sausages, ya POS!" from T-Bag, but this reporter could not figure out why he was being called a Point of Sale?
On the bright side for the Sausages, there was some great live entertainment in the bandstand behind the backstop.
Box score:
Speed 2/4
Norm! 2/4
ME-ME 1/4
Shoe 0/4
T-Bag 0/3
Volley 0/3
Sink 3/3
DeedeeK 2/3
