Well it finally happened. Snce the beginnning of the season, we have been flirting with bad weather and rainouts. Luckily, until this past week, we have dodged the bullets and have been able to take the field and run up our unblemished record. That was until this past Thursday. Mother Nature caught up to us and let us have it in spades. Until about 3:00, it looked as if we might have an outside chance of layin' a beatin on the Masonry guys. Then the black clouds of death rolled across the plains and dumped roughly 1 1/2 to 2 inches of rain down on us within an hour. I got to hand it to the boys at Fargo Slowpitch, they had the games cancelled within 15 minutes of the rain coming down. So no ball, no beer, and no bones. I really had a hankering for some post celebration ribs too.
No make up date is set for the first rainout of the season, so we are left putting Hohenstein Brothers Masonry on alert for next season. What comes around goes around boys. To quote Shakey Malloy, "your world is gonna end in 10 minutes, pack a lunch!". So the standings are the same, and now we have to set our sites on the artists formerly known as Hoolies. Side Rite Exteriors will enter the game with a 3-1 record but lets analyze that for one second. They have one win against Hohenstein, who we would have swept, and took two of off the Houston Lighthouse for the Blind, or Old Broadway Sports Zoneas they are listed in the standings. So I speak for all of us when I say, I am not impressed with them. We will be playing without Chris Love for yet another week, but Dammon is back of his honeymoon, and we'll be at full strength. So come on down to McKinley East on the 14th to catch all of the carnage. It's gonna be a bloodbath! See you at the yard, Meat!
