MONTGOMERY PARK, August 9, 2007. The Sausages showed their 'no-lose' attitude in last night's game, overcoming an 8-5 fifth-inning deficit to defeat the Slam Chowder 15-10 in MHR action. Acting on a hunch, coach Shoe let five year old Shauna create the starting lineup, which included such oddities as Redd hitting cleanup, T-Bag playing first and Slashbunt catching. The Sausages picked up veteran Clutch in a last minute free agent signing and he rushed back from his Philippines vacation home to be with the team in Vancouver. Clutch showed no sign of the jitters after his long hiatus, going 3 for 4 at the plate. In the field he had no balls.
Injuries continue to plague the team, as Norm! continues to play at less than 100% with a recurring injury that the coaches would only describe as "a lower body injury." DeedeeK also complained of hamstring troubles, but refused to be pulled from the game. "It'll be a cold day in hell before you drag my ass off this field," shouted DeedeeK, not realizing that the game had been over for about half an hour by then.
Slashbunt had a fine debut in the catcher position, looking like a natural behind the plate. "I'm OK with the helmet and the chest protector," said Slashbunt, "but these shin pads are too long!" The diminutive Slashbunt was referring to her oversized shin pads which almost reached her armpits. Slashbunt was nominated to catch as Volley had a personal emergency and could not make the game, and T-Bag forgot his cup AGAIN. The team's media relations person would not comment on Volley's whereabouts, but one source told us he was in back in rehab.
Box score:
Shoe 4/5
Hope 3/4
DeedeeK 1/4
Redd 1/4
Dirty Al 3/4
T-Bag 3/4
Clutch 3/4
Slashbunt 2/4
Norm! 3/4
