No Shirt, No Shoes, No Players

MONTGOMERY PARK, Vancouver, June 1, 2006. The Sausages won their easiest game of the season Thursday night as their would-be opponents, the Shirts, couldn't field a team. "One of our players totalled his truck, one of our girls is AWOL, and another girl couldn't make it," said Rob of the Shirts. "So we'll forfeit and why don't you just give us a couple of players for the field so we can play a fun game," he added.
"Faaack you!" said T-Bag.
In the end the two teams played a nothing game for four innings and called it quits after one of the shirts was felled while stealing third by a head-shot from catcher Volley. Dr. Sink was quick to action, making sure the player didn't have a concussion. After she was finished slapping him in the face a few times to revive him she looked around and said "how many fingers am I holding up?"
It was disappointing not to have a real game, as Mit was back in the lineup, Kobe was back from injury, and Shoe was getting his first start on the mound this season. Norm!, however, was nowhere to be seen and it was rumoured he had missed the team bus.
The "fun" game dragged on a bit too long for one fan. "Alan you're my hero!" said a wet, shivering Claudia after Dirty Al made the final out of the dreadful fourth inning.
The Sausages are now three and two on the season and sit in fourth place with six points.
Fans are reminded to bring a camera to the next game for some action shots of their favourite players, like this one of one of the Shirts players.
But please, no flash bulbs!
No box score this week.
