Na Pahu faced what undoubtedly would be a lopsided affair against the league champs - Niele.
it was to be another shot of Na Pahu concentrate as we expected to barely be able to field a full team...but, in reality, came up a few short. Na Pahu Piha fielded it's first ever wahine rule lineup: 5 homegirls 4 homeboys - coach was confident.
maybe it was the full moon? maybe it was na wahine? me thinks the latter.
Niele came swingin' out of the gates and homeboy hit one off the tree in right field - despite the big bomb - jefe held them to 3. Na Pahu set themselves up to creep back into it - for at least an inning - but those damn three-out foul balls really bite you in the ass.
Na Pahu played exceptional defense for the remainder of the game and we had more double plays than errors - you catch that?...more double plays than errors....more double plays than errors.
sadly - we couldn't hit for shit - but nonetheless put forth a valiant effort in defeat ... this performance will go down in the Na Pahu Piha Hall of Fame as one of the greatest games we ever played.
final score
Niele 5
Na Pahu Piha 1

10/30: Rob-a-licious
a rematch with On The House - who have the dubious distinction of providing Na Pahu Piha with it's first ever victory. the night started off innocently enough... newbie phoebe knocked in hemant (...already redeeming himself) to put Na Pahu up 1-0 after two innings.
it's quite clear that the momentum shifted in Na Pahu's favor during the third inning...as two (although i guess technically four) of rob's friends showed up....and what fantastic friends rob has! it appears rob just needed breasts to straighten out his swing?...as he promptly lined one that dribbled into the outfield*. it was all downhill from there for On The House - inspired by the drive-by flashing Na Pahu dropped 6 in the fourth - hilighted by a 3 run infield dribbler turned inside the park home run by Phoebe - and 5 in the fifth...after the fifth Isaac put On The House to sleep and out of their misery
final score
Na Pahu Piha 13
On The House 1
yes...that would be SLAUGHTER rule, and yes, two victories in less than 7 days
* - a new feature of the blog will be a running tally of rob's batting statistics (post-boob)
as of 10/30 -> 3/3 = 1.000

10/29: Can't Spell Hemant Without The "E"
our bellies full of victory from the P-ass game, Na Pahu was expectedly due for a smack-down...and Matsuno was happy to oblige...maybe they are still pissed b/c we beat them in that scrimmage a while back
the hemant error machine was well-oiled and in full effect tonight - muff after flub after bobble after fumble - eh, you get the picture...we had him on suicide watch post-game.
unfortunately chuck wasn't there to fix the game and allow us to score at least one run and save some dignity - but hey...you give that up everytime you don the blaze orange and take the field for Na Pahu, yes?
final score*
Matsuno 16
Na Pahu 0
* - for those keeping score at home we have now lost to Matsuno twice with a combined score of 32 - sunny...brutal, eh?

10/24: Payback's a Bitch
ah...good 'ole P-ass - if you don't remember these jokers, here's a refresher.
while we didn't have the numbers - we fielded a 9-person Na Pahu concentrate (becuase we only had 3 wahine)...it didn't trip us up in the least bit. The game proved to be as much of a nail-biter as our first matchup, but that's only b/c they got some Palau power (4 Palauan ringers that accounted for all of their runs and about 80% of their defensive outs)...but we had the power of bootz
overall, a rather lackluster performance by Na Pahu, definitely playing down to our opponents - but we did manage to pile on 8 runs in the third inning which proved to be enough.

...way to show those social workers the harsh reality of life (as if they don't see that enough)
Chuck witnesses his first Na Pahu Piha victory - and is proud!
10/16: Championship Rematch
...the long-awaited division 2 Summer Championship rematch...Na Pahu Piha vs. Umi Kumakahi
sadly, coach was busy in Bangkok getting physically removed (and nearly arrested - i think?) from a muay thai boxing match for drinking outside alcohol with homeboy Samak
...according to the scorebook it looks like we lost.
hopefully homeboy let his wahine swing the bat this time - the repeated orders of 'don't swing' during the championship game was awful - especially when he told me that i should have had our wahine walk - nuts to that, na wahine are better than i am.
final score
umi kumakahi - umi kumakahi (how convenient, eh?)
na pahu piha - 'eha

10/2: Notsoweezee (pt II)
so it turned out that cobra kai bailed at the last minute - they must have heard that coach ordered folks to practice their crane poses...providing us a chance to avenge our loss the prior week to Mixed Plate - aka the rogue Hawaiian Telcom team that formed their own team because they didn't like their coach....don't get any ideas suckas!
upon realizing that we got hosed out of our last at bat in the previous matchup we agreed to get an extra 3 outs in our first at bat. unfortunately, while everyone playing was okay with it - the sketchy substitute umpire tweaked out on some ice-induced power trip and threatened to leave the field (after nearly throwing miriah out of the game before she was even able to take a swing at the plate)
during pregame jefe was treated to a rousing motivational finger squeeze by our beloved Na Pahu mascot - Anwar...jefe proceeded to head out to the mound and put 'em away - 3 up 3 down
It seemed that we just might have a chance tonight...unfortunately the blessing did not last and Mixed Plate hit through their line up in the second inning ... and the third inning...and the fourth inning.
too much 'Prime Time' for Na Pahu - a true double threat - he shut us down on the mound then proceeded to get a hit every at bat....the runs piled up and toby, given his first chance to work the scorebook, could be heard muttering 'this is really stressful' - well NO SHIT - welcome to my world!
