CHINA CREEK PARK, Vancouver, BC, July 24, 2008. In what was described by onlookers as a "light" practice, the Sausages did some hitting drills and basically goofed off Thursday night, after their would-be opponents, the White Sox forfeited the game. Some fans even questioned how serious the Sausages were about salvaging the season. "Come on!" yelled one fan, known as Daz, after an easy ground ball trickled through three half-hearted Sausage attempts at catching it.
It was reminiscent of the uninspired training Rocky did before fighting, and losing to, Clubber Lang in Rocky III. All showboating and no discipline.
"We had better turn things around soon or first place in the league will slip through our hands," said Shoe, sighing.
After the listless practice the Sausages held a closed team meeting at the Cedar Cottage. Although media were barred from the meeting, it was easy to tell from the outside that things were getting heated, with one player heard yelling "the San Diego Chicken is the most famous mascot in all of sports!".
But there was some good news. Dirty Al, under the NTN handle "Jeeves", achieved a number one ranking in all the whole wide world in a silly trivia game. But two games later it was the SHARK who was out to get Jeeves and Volley. "Averages are not important. It's a game of extraordinary performances," announced Jeeves pompously. Jeeves has 173 points in the third game and threw his playing board aside and pouted for the rest of the night.
Daz, self-admittedly feeling "a bit tipsy", started heckling the team. "You have three wins? So does that mean two other times the opposition forfeited too?!" he shouted. "See you later, I'm going to the bathroom," he continued, before accidentally urinating in the broom closet.
Box score:
Dirty Al 100/100
Sink 100/100
DeedeeK 100/100
Volley 100/100
etc.
