Things were looking bright early (literally - our first game under natural light) as Chuck rolled up with a sarcastic 'hey, anybody lose some bats?' and busted out our long lost bats - left for dead - with a greasy grin. I'm sure there was a bit of awkwardness in batworld as the trusty red-handled wonders - spending three weeks in a strangers' truck sharing space with a bunch of invasive reptiles - now saw themselves resting next to 'The Warrior' and 'The Maverick'.Umi Kumakahi were a formidable collection of ringers (the other coach was introducing himself to all his players before the game)...but were still one wahine short. Unfortunately, for the sake of sportsmanship - coach had to pimp out ass coach for an inning. Luckily it was a quickie trick - one and done - and back to where she belonged. Na Pahu was chock full of new faces - and good lookin' ones taboot. All-star performances were had by all the Na Pahu virgins - Allison, Lindsay, Elizabeth, and our Polish sausage - Leo.
undoubtedly, everyone finally got around to reading the book that i handed out at the end of the last game because our defense was flawless...truly unbelieveable and inspiring (Chuck was impressed).
with all that said - we still lost...but it couldn't have been closer as we were tied 1-1 going into the bottom of the 5th inning. Umi Kumakahi dropped in a few dinky pop flies and all of a sudden got real serious and cruised around the bases scoring 2 in the fifth. However, Na Pahu stood strong and had the winning run at the plate in the top of 6, but just couldn't git 'er done.final score: Umi Kumakahi 3 - Na Pahu 1
...word on the street is that the team we play next week sucks.
love,
coach j, ass coach nic, jefe ramirez
we got into a groove...
...one of coach's favorite cups, obliterated by a scorcher down the line - kory - bringin' the payne! the kaimana klassic cup bit the dust about 15 minutes later...even ass coach was feelin' it...
catchin' blue moon, eh?
Matsuno hovered in the left field bleachers...watching us take infield like professionals
it was all downhill for Matsuno from there on out - they couldn't handle the beast that Na Pahu has become. we were drinking in the field - with only 7 players....getting unassisted double plays from center field... we even let balls hit us in the knee cap and hip-checked balls in the outfied - just to keep the game close....when all was said and done - it shaped up to be about:
