To quote Grammy award winning artist Beck
Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
Last night in a disgraceful performance the team from Kilarney Rose disposed of your Bachrach BallBusters by a score of 8-2. It was a bloodbath that may lead to changes and more blood if the BB's have any hopes of making the playoffs this season. There will be no game balls this week cause at the end of the day we were all losers.
Lets start at the beginning.
Nick "The Franchise" Catalano
The Franchise is in serious jeopardy of being dropped in the order after an 0-3 performance. His defensive wizardry cannot make up for the fact that he flew out in all three of his at bats embarrassing himself in front of his wife and son who had traveled many miles to come see him perform in the park. His son RJ could be seen behind the fence crying after the game, no doubt embarrassed about his fathers performance at the plate.
Scott "All I do is hit pop ups and ignore the fact that I am fast" "Haggy" Hechler.
You run 90mph, hit the damn ball on the ground. Another BB lucky enough to have his family there to support him and he disappointed, misjudging a fly ball and going hitless at the plate. His spot on the club is in severe jeopardy after that performance and a trip to the minor leagues is a real possibility.
James "There's a whole in my glove" Sammarco
How many more errors will he be allowed to make before a switch to the outfield, his natural position, is afoot? His bat is way to potent to ever take out of the lineup but the BB's can ill afford to let his glove continue to give away games as they try to mount a playoff push. To quote a team source that requested to remain anonymous, "I love the kid but we need better defense at SS". And not for nothing but throw the ball friggen over hand to Ali, shes not a friggen Geisha.
Jordon "The Superstar" Seigman
Here's this kid, a nice kid mind you, that is probably one of the most highly touted prospects ever to walk into the building, a college ball player, natural athlete, plays in leagues across the globe. So here he comes to the plate for his big debut and what does he do, he grounds out to 3rd and reaches on an error. Your gonna get your shot kid, but I hope thats not all your ever gonna bring to the table.
Girls
Thats right I am lumping all of you together in one category. All we need from our women, some of the more talented women in the league, is a little more heart and fire and wanting to win. Hitting the ball and getting out at first should not be cheered. It's not about playing, its about winning. I for one do not want to spent a 13hour day in Manhattan and get home at 11pm at night for the thrill of seeing Alex"Lets get a drink after the game" Roth make contact with the ball at the plate, I want to effin win the game, and unless we do I am not cheering or congratulating her "effort". It's not how you play the game, it's whether you win or lose.
Allan "Rubber Arm" Ageman
Probably one of the top 5 pitchers in EDSO softball but for one game I would like to see him suck it up and not publicly yell at his teammates on the field, He's sounds like Johan Santana, I did my job you guys suck. Win like a team, lose like a team, keep the problems in house.
Jeff "The Freight Train" McLaughlin
Managing the BB's is a thankless job, no credit for wins and blame for losses. The honeymoon is over, bottom line is only one manager in BB history has taken us to the playoffs two out of her three years, Ali "Trash Mouth" McGlincy. Richard "The Boss" Bachrach does not tolerate losses, your days could very well be numbered. When asked about the performance the Freight train called it "Heartless, gutless and sloppy."
Richard "The Boss" Bachrach
Where are you? There is something to be said for fighting with the troops El Presidente. You have been conspicuous by your absence and your silence has spoken volumes enough. Maybe its time to return to the field and reclaim control of your club, haven't the inmates run the asylum long enough?
The bottom line is this, going forward team management is going to do whatever is necessary to make this team win. No egos, no being insulted and no more games. This team is built to win championships, its time we start producing, loyalty doesn't pay the bills, w's do.
Notes and Quotes:
Rumors are flying about the status of the Freight Train's contract and how long he will be retained as manager, more news to follow. When asked if she would be interested in once again managing the BB's Ali McGlincy had no comment. Conspicuous by his absence rumors were rampant that Evan"The Truth" Price was considering surgery options on his injured leg including amputation. After the game there was even talk of bringing back exiled outfielder Matt"Don't call me Matty" Rundle, when reached by phone he had this to say " I have complete faith in Mr. Bachrach and the entire organization to put out a product capable of winning a championship with or without me." That seems like an open door to me.
