The Green Bar wanted to prove they belonged in the contention for Red Bug Lake title and they could compete with league powerhouse Cobra Kai. Well, they did that and then some Friday night with smothering defense and solid pitching that shut down the usually deadly Cobra Kia offense. It was an unusually quite night for the Kai’s bats as what can only be blamed on their 3 week hiatus due to rain storms that ravished Central Florida. “The Kai’s are a momentum driven team, and we lost our mojo for a game because of our long layoff and the fact our leadoff didn’t set the pace right out of the gates” The Swami noted after the game. “ I have full confidence the rust was shaken and Top Shelf better watch out for our Shake and Bake hitting this Friday as we are about to unleash hell on their pitchers. I can guarantee we will score our usual 12 runs and then add another 6 to make up for last Friday” The Swami added.
Mad Dog was on his game pitching a solid outing and the defense behind him was solid but the Green Bar just found the gaps while the Cobra Kai’s only found leather. “Over a long summer season, there is usually one game when you come out with no life, and that is what we suffered from last Friday….but I know my troops won’t suffer the same consequence this Friday” Capt. Tucci yelled to reporters after a brief post game interview.
The Kai’s posted 2 runs in a club low hitting effort as the Green Bar were tested after the game for PED’s and Plastic Man dosages as they were all over the field snatching up every single Cobra Kai shot their way. “Our bats were swinging and we were hitting the ball, they just were not falling as the Green Bar had something going on out there with their gloves, personally I think they were using Clifford Franklin oil to keep track of the ball. But that is neither here nor there, so I will not go there” Roundhouse Reger said after the game.
“I’ve never seen somebody get robbed so much as we did tonight. The Swami got his payback as he usually abuses Right Fielders, well he is the one that got the short end of the stick as their right fielder stumbled into his line shots all night” Johnny Blaze said after the game. “They came out with a vengeance and I think they juiced up on Kryptonite cause this was their Championship game and they didn’t want to let Superman take them deep again” Koko muttered in the dugout.
Well, it was good to get the loss out of the way. Now we can regain our focus on winning a championship and the pressure of a perfect season is out the way. “Mikey stated at the games end.
The Kai look to regain their footing in their pursuit of a championship season Friday night as they send off Big Daddy Gutierrez into the sunset as he plays in possibly his last game Friday as he got the call-up to the Kai’s affiliate in St. Petersburg.
Well, like my good friend Forrest Gump likes to say “That’s all I have to say about that.” The Kai look to unleash on Top Shelf this Friday at 6:30. See You under the Friday Night Lights.
