11/19: Frosted Tips Strikes Again

move over public assistance Na Pahu has found a new arch-nemesis in Sofa Kingdom - who seem to be good folks with the exception of one who plays true to the team name (say it one syllable at a time). Our second battle with Sofa Kingdom this season  played out fairly similar to our first - just Na Pahu played the comeback role this time.

Na Pahu was down 12 - 3 after 3 and was not playing very motivated softball....a big two-out rally in the 4th leveled the playing field with Na Pahu crawling back to within a run at 11-10....with the final inning call, Na Pahu went out and slopped it up to to allow four big runs and set up a 5-run deficit for the last at-bat. A typical end of the game rally followed with the winning run at second - only for coach to hit a hard line drive right at second base which turned into a game ending double-play. bummer, eh? Frosted tips was pumped, and in classic form, made sure everyone in mo'ili'ili knew it....so as they say:

"A tie is like kissing your sister" - Eddie Ederlatz
Final Score 
Sofa Kingdom 15
Na Pahu Piha 15

However, unfortunately for Na Pahu, upon further review of the score book the day after it would appear that Na Pahu actually came up short

Final Score (after further review)
Sofa Kingdom 16
Na Pahu Piha 15

"If a tie is like kissing your sister, losing is like kissing your grandmother with her teeth out" 
- George Brett

...so there you go - although it could have been worse - like if the potential post-game fight between rob and frosted tips went down - fortunately nobody let that happen - although if it did happen i would imagine it would have gone done something like this.

11/10: So Close...Yet Not

A rather unenthused, slightly hungover na pahu crew congregated on Wed for what we expected to be a lackluster performance. Much to our surprise, na pahu opened up with a good inning. HMSA countered with one of their own. The unavoidable na pahu defensive inning took place somewhere around the 4th inning. Then, trailing 3-8, Doug opened up with an infield homerun. With 1 out and runners on 1st and 3rd, Sean knocked a whopper over the fence!!! Unfortunately, it was the side fence, giving us 3 outs. A good defensive stand kept the bad guys at 8 and though we started our inning with one out, we came out strong. Doug knocked another monster into the outfield and was nipping at Lisa's heels as he came home, making it 6-8. Then we did what pahu does best......get more outs to lose the game.  It was a good hint of a rally at the end and the crew was fired up, but we faltered once again. At least the other team were'nt dicks.......but they work for HMSA, GODDAMN IT!!!!
