There
truly is nothing like baseball in California summer.What a
perfect day to get dirty. Oh yea.we couldn't get dirty cause
some non-baseball person working for the school filled in
the base-paths with Grass!!! What the hell is that? Thanks
to Mike Mello and Matt Schmuck for their versions of the
games I could not attend. Another
great game from the Yomiuri boys. Led today by
Chilly's outstanding pitching, not to mention his three
hits. Chilly takes the hill, and proceeds to deal for six
straight innings. Except the two walks and two hit bats-men
in the 2nd inning. That was the A's only run against Chilly.
By the way, Chilly went ahead and struck out the side after
putting four batters on base without a hit. Of
course like always our defense was pretty good today. Not to
mention, the fastest I've ever seen Sally-Jo Haines move.
Foul ball straight up, only about 10-feet behind home-plate.
Haines starts running towards first then ever so slowly
rounds back to finally make a great catch on the ball. My
favorite part was when Sally-Jo fell down and her skirt flew
up. Nice panties. Speaking
of Sally-Jo, best line of the day yelling in his best Andy
Devine voice back at Chilly after a ball sails past him
"That's not a 3!". Carl comes in the last two and holds the
game. The A's did their part today by walking us 10-times.
Leuders-Line got on three times by walks, and got two
Ribbies. It
Ain't Over Till The Fat lady Sings. Well
that Big Women was Singing the Blues in the Giants Dugout
Sunday Afternoon, Meanwhile Coach Dandy Don ( Merideth
) Luis was singing turn out the lights, the partyyyyy‚
over in the A's Winning Dugout. A great day for Baseball.
Everyone played their ‚A Game Sunday. The
1st 4 A's batters got off to a slow start in the 1st,
with no hits or runs. The Giants managed to find 1 run in
the lower half of the 1st. In the Top of the
2nd. Mello Yellow led off with a 2 base hit down the
left field line. Rod Oehrlein followed with another double
to center field moving Mello to 3rd . Now here comes Dandy
Don to the plate. Don stroked a Sac fly to center scoring
Mello for his first RBI of the game. Not much else happened
for The A's in the top of the 2nd. Hoop threw a bucket
of goose eggs at the Giant's leaving them scoreless in the
2nd. Now into the top of the 3rd . It was raining base hits
for the A's. Patrick "My Man" Macias led off with a sharp
base hit. Mike ‚"bye bye" Byron roped another
single moving up Macias. Dave Ga Ga Gayner smacked an RBI
base hit scoring Macias and moving up Byron. Mello got his
2nd hit and a RBI scoring Byron. Don Luis drove in Gayner on
a RBI fielders choice. In the top of the 3rd Hoop faced 6
Giant batters while giving up no runs once again. In the top
of the 4th for the A's, Rene "loverboy" Lovato smoked a
single up the middle, but was left stranded on the bases to
close out the 4th. In the bottom of the 4th, the
Giants lead off batter hit a shot back to the mound injuring
Hoop and knocking My Brotha from anotha motha out of the
Game. The A's inserted Dave Gayner into the pitching spot
and Dave basically mowed down the next 3 Giant batters for
another no run inning. Mike Byron led off the 5th inning for
the A's with a base hit, followed by another hit by Dave
Gayner. Mello worked the pitcher for a full count walk
loading them all up. Luis came up and grounded to 1st
allowing Mike Byron to score from 3rd. This would be Luis
3rd RBI of the game. The inning ended with the A's pushing
only 1 run across the plate. The Giants threatened a bit in
the 5th with a couple of walks but ended up with another
goose egg in the lower end. The A's held the Giant's nicely
with some great double play ball. Gamson and Oehrlein jelled
like peanut butter and jelly at 2nd and short. In the 5th
For the 2nd time of the day when the Giant's began to
threaten, they played the middle infield exceptionally well
letting the air out of the Giant's on a couple of occasions
with the Duo getting 2 double plays and Rod Oehrlein getting
an additional solo double play with some more great effort
at short. The A's managed 1 run in the 6th from Purcell
Hall's base on balls combining with base knocks by Macias
and Gayner. The rascally Giant's really threatened in the
bottom of the 6th with a couple of base hits along with 5
walks generating 4 runs and tightening up the score. The A's
decided to insert Huston ( Dave Gamson ) Street into the
pitchers slot during the bottom of the 6th. Gamer shut
Em down with no more damage to the A's. After 6 full the
score was A's 6 and the Giant's 5. Going into the 7th inning
the A's were shut down while only sending 4 batters to the
plate. Dave Gamer-Street shut the Giant's down once again
facing only 4 batters also. In the top of the 8th for the
A's, Mike Byron drew a walk, Mello pushed Byron up with his
3rd hit of the day. Rod Oehrlein also pushed the baserunners
up reaching on an error. Luis Ripped another base hit
Scoring Mike ( the insurance run ) Byron. This made the
score A's 7 Giant's 5. Big man of the day, Dave Gamson faced
only 5 batters in the bottom of the 8th and put the Giant's
to rest. Sending a well deserved win the A's way. This was a
well played defensive game by the A's and everyone
contributed at the plate.. Congrats A's there will be a lot
more wins as the year goes on. #1.
Mike Hughey and Frank Weishaar for not giving their team's
side of the story.... #2..
Chilly. the rule is don't make the last out at Third. First
inning, Chilly tries to take an extra base with two-outs and
get caught in a pickle. The best part was watching that
50-year old run you down. So, it's a dollar fine for making
the third out at third, but also a dollar fine for being run
down by an old guy. #3.
Finally, Big Lorne Johnson, DUDE!.bases loaded, the A's are
walking us left-and-right! Big [it ain't!] Johnson
swings at the first pitch grounding out to the pitcher.
That's a Buck rally killer!

1st off, Hoop pitched Perfect ‚A Game baseball
the 1st 3 innings of the game. Hoop gave up 1 run on 3 hits
over 3 full, Then got knocked out of the game by a wicked,
up the middle shot off the leg. Hoop was shaping the 1st 3
innings of this game into what should have been a great
pitching outing for the day. How was the Leg Hoop ???
Now On with the game highlights.
