Dice Baseball 2006

First off Happy B-Day Coach TPM.

Spent the evening at the cage, think I fixed the swing.

Double D's sorry to hear about your mishap, any chance you voided your contract by climbing on the roof. Never like to see a competitor get hurt but I think in this game a broken foot might not impact your ability to out run most of us.

SSMom, think maybe you better start using the other coffee pot in the dugout, the one that says regular, you keep up the pace your setting you might burn out before the 9th, we need you so take an hour to relax before the game.

GO PPP's

Ahhh heck no jmepop. Gotta lead by example. Just a typical day in the neighborhood of ssmom!! ( & lots of other moms I know! )

Dang,..forgot about takin extra hits in the cage. Good thinking jmepop. Way to take initiative!!! Next time send me a memo and I'll meet ya there. Right handed swing is pretty smooth, but could use a few pointers on my left swing against those curve balls!

Now get your fannies a moooovin'!!! We got business to take care of PPP's!!

Nothing like a delay in an airport (3 more hours until take-off now) the day before Thanksgiving. Oh well, such is the roll of the dice during holiday travel. In the mean time...
I've warmed up (with a nice cup of coffee)
I've stretched (out on the floor for a nap).
I've sprinted (from the ticket counter to the gate).
I've thrown (a fit when I found out we were going to miss our connecting flight in Charlotte).
and...
I've batted (the dude's hand away as he was getting too frisky patting down the BrideofJT).

In other words. LET'S PLAY SOME BALL!!!

I am protesting, Moose at bat is in RED!

Favoritism?

Juliiiieeeeeeeeeee, where are you?

A happy birthday, a happy birthday,...a happy birthday to a youuuuuuuu,...
You look like a PPP winner,..and ya smell like one too!!! ( meant affectionately of course! Remember I'm the fume expert! )

Hey Coach TPM,..looks like the former Chipendale dancers umpires wanna get you and Julie together,...think they might need to " talk " to you. ( giggle-giggle ) Where's HowUbe? They need her too.

Happy birthday coach!

Happy B-day, TPM. I hope you and your team will enjoy the cake I had specially prepared:

Cute,..but knowing JT,..I wouldn't eat it if I were you Coach.
( just between you and me, ya never know what ingredients he made it with. )
I'd be heavily suspicious.......not accusing anyone of anything,....JMO.

Actually, that's a tiger, ssmom, but I can understand your confusion.

Now, is it your Birthday today, TPM? Far flippin out. (PM to follow).

Happy Birthday coach!! I hit that one for the gipper you!!

Did we get rained out?
Did the Mr. Moose and coaches decide to fly off to someplace tropical and not send me the memo??
Where is everybody??
Guess I could water and rake the field, while waiting to see if anyone shows up.
( man,..those dancers umpires are getting pretty antsy )

Seventh Inning

Paws

FrankF #41 (5,3) slow roller to 3b to 1st. 1 out FrankF yawning as he heads back for a cuppa
Former Observer #3 (3,1) Swinging strike three.
Justbaseball - #24 (1,3) looking strike three 3 out.
TPM better wake up her paws, they are running out of time!


Keyboards
JT – 7 (5,5) walk….I read that a leadoff walk will score 70% of the time…we will have too see.

Official announcement by the Great Supreme Commissionaire Bullwinkle J Moose is regards to 0209Mom aka: 0204Mom.
“Be she 2, 4, 6, or 9, that Momma can cook a mean lima bean. By the gas that I have been ingested; Bullwinkle J Moose hereby and formally announces that 0204Mom has been reinstated into this game. May the best ah….umm…..KeyPaw win!” (burp)

0209Mom aka 0204Mom (6,4) that’s a rip down lf line, lf comes up with the ball an tosses it to 3b. Jt at 2nd and 0209Mom aka 0204Mom at first. 0 outs
DD - 5 (4,5) Drags a bunt down 3rd baseline…..perfect….she couldn’t have rolled the ball better. DD she is a ballplayer, great skills and its fun to her watch running to 1st. Bases are crammed with Keyboards.
StillLearning – 15 (5,4) one hopper to rf, the Paws RF throws a frozen rope to catcher to hold any more damage. RBI for StillLearning and that makes the score Paws 3 Keyboards 6, Stiil 0 outs and bases full
DB2B – 1 (5,2) 7! A massive swing of air, strike three. 1 out
Rz – 30 (1,3) Oh My Lordy, Rx just got sawed, slow roller to pitcher who picks up the ball and underhands to 1st 2 out. The bat boy runs out to get the broken shards of that bat The Ump is looking…no problem.
Creeks – 74 (2,6) Line drive to 1st who spears it for the third out. Paws were lucky that only 1 run.

Paws 3
Keyboards 6

Top Eight Inning

Paws
itsinthegame - #12 (5,3) Strike three 1 out . Last years MVP is not having a good game, maybe during the off-season he needs to be working on his game and not looking for game.
catcher09- #17 (4-3) high fly ball to CF….can o corn. 2 out
jmePop #43 (4,5) smack, finally someone on the Paws woke up, hard line drive to CF 2 out, jmePop on 1st
FloridaHokie #18 (4,6) that’s a gaper to right center field, that’s got double written all over it…Oh no, more issues for the Paws, jmePop pulls up grabbing his right leg. So, jmePop limps into 2nd and FLHokie in 1st. 2 outs
LadyNmom #14 (6,3) that sizzle you just heard to a liner to lf, jmePop still limping into 3rd, FLHokie into 2nd and LadyNMom at 1st. LadyMom is looking directly at jmePop, I guess LandNMom wanted a Rib Eye, and jmePop just couldn’t cook her steak. Bases loaded with Paws but 2 outs.
Cleveland Dad #16 (4,4) Oh my…..that ball is crushed……it’s going ……it’s going…….it’s GONE! Grand Slam by the ClevlandDad to give the Paws a lead 7-6! I don’t know what TPM said to her Paws, but man o man they are awake and kickin’ now!
Beezer #23 (1,3) Cadillac hop to SS to 1st, 3 outs

CD

What more can I say!

Go TEAM PPP!

Bottom Eight Inning

Keyboards

OB44 - ummm....44 (6,2) Fly ball to CF, 1 out
GotWood – 365 (2,2) Gotwood got all of that wood, that’s a shot off right center field fence for a stand up double. 1out
catcherdad – 6 (6,5) that’s a major league pop up, straight up and caught be the catcher. 2 out
CoachB – 25 (5,5) Intentional walk called by TPM. CoachB being the professional he is trots to 1st. GotWood at 2nd, CoachB at 1st 2 outs
RHP – 27 (6,4) RHP does it again single to right center field, but too soft to score GotWood from 2nd. Bases loaded with Keyboards. RHP made TPM pay for her decision. Still 2 outs
AK – 13 (3,3) CRACK! Ball hit oppo right down the line, this AK can run like to wind, here comes the throw…..off line, AK with a bases clearing triple to put the keyboards 9 to the Paws 7 3RBI’s, AK at third with 2 out.
JT – 7 (6,5) Fly ball to CF, caught…..3 outs,

but not before AK comes thru with a 2 out bases clearing triple to give the lead to the Keyboards 9 Paws 7, Paws coming up to bat.

Top Ninth Inning

Paws
ssmom #0 9(is zero a number?) (2,4) Swinging K 1 out
playbaseball #6 (1,6) Swinging K 2 out
jerseydad #45 (1,2) Ground ball to SS to 1st OUT…..

There’s a huge pile up at the pitchers mound as The Keyboards the Champions of the 2006 Dice Baseball dance and cheer……tears are flowing as well as some lima bean casserole is being tossed into the air.

The MVP for 2006 is AK and his amazing clutch 2 out base clearing triple in the bottom of the eight to put the Keyboards up for good. Congrats to AK

Hope to see your next year!

CD, YOU DA MAN!!!

BTW, Sorry about my slow roller to 3B. Happens every time after I launch one, by trying to duplicate it and starting stride too soon. I should have been looking for the changeup. My bad.

All I can say is WAIT TIL NEXT YEAR!!

Thanks everyone - but too little to late! I wished I would not have struck out earlier in the game but that is baseball TPM is a good coach.

Congrats to the Keyboards

TPM is.......
unavailable and cannot be reached for comments this afternoon.

Grump,..grump grump,..grrrrrrr,....kickin' the dirt,...head hung low,.....I'm having a moment here people!!!!!!

Ohhh ok ok okaaaay,...guess I better go and shake the Keyboards hands......( like,... what eveeeer !!!! )

Good job everybody,..yadda yadda yadda,..way to play,...it was close,..but no cigar for us PPP's,.. its not about winning, its about how we played the game,...& all that other poltically correct mumbo jumbo stuff thats supposed to be said, outta being a good sport.
( Hey,..I'm trying,..really I am!!)


Not happy about loosin',...but I did infact have a blast with all you HSBBW-ers! ( that is a truely sincere statement! )

Does this mean we can have our party now?????

Wow! What a finish, congrats to the Keyboards. Think it coulda gone either way but you earned it.

LadyNMom, sorry but that wasn't a limp, its just how I run, why do you think I am on 1st base. CD you are da man, what a shot, felt we had em for sure.

I am not gonna let this spoil my Turkey Day.

1st year in 'the show' and I'm 1-3 with an rbi and run scored. Way to go team!!!

this was a team effort and all I can say is....

We are the champions

Click on the link, crank it up, and sing along

Great game 3P's, your greatness brought the best out of the Keyboards

Man I just flat out STUNK it up in this game. It may have had something to do with the gladiator get-up ssmom made me wear!

Nice rip CD!!! Too bad we left you down in the bottom (top) of the inning.

Exciting, exciting game --- jt working the count, DD playing a little small ball (and, given the current impairment, disabling the opposition as well, staring transfixed as she crutched (as opposed to crushed) it!

And if that's what you do when you're StillLearning, can't wait until you HaveLearned!

Cleveland almost snatched it away, heck of a blast, but Keyboards never give up (seize up, yes; give up, no)

And AK! You are, as they say (whomever the heck "they" are; three guys in a garage in Buffalo, near as I can figure) Da Man. An RBI Machine! An RISP Machine! If only you were an ATM Machine! (Pardon the repetitive redundancy)

Great team and great chemistry (though their Political Science is a little weak --- good grades in geography, though)! I stand in awe (awwwwwww).

Thanks to the P3's, a proud and worthy opponent, to TPM for foregoing her birthday celebrations to breathe deep the dugout fumes (that lima bean dish is flippin' potent), MN-Mom for her regal ceremonial duties, and our beloved Commoose, without whom this day wouldn't have been necessary (still practicing Yogi here).

Now let's break open the Official Visit Beer!

...tough loss to a team who apparently wanted it more than we did. We'll have to hit the weights this off season, and spend a bit more time in the cage. I enjoyed the game all and am looking forw...what's that...?...

Gotta run...coach wants to see me in the office...

Ooooo, FH, never a good sign.....

Noooo,..trust me Beezer,.... you carrying that sheild and sword,....in shorts ( of any color!)....that was a definate " highlight "
of the day!!! ( said smiling from ear to ear,..slightly blushing as I cant believe I typed that outloud again,...and winking! ha! )
Thanks for being such a good sport!!

Margaritas anyone? ( with or without the good stuff,..I got both kinds!! )

The shame... why is I always have to be the last out?

While I suspect the dice were loaded (or maybe it was the moose that was loaded), I do offer my "Laurel and Hardy" handshake to the victorious keyboard squad.

Jerseydad,..you rock!!!

or maybe it was the moose that was loaded)

....ya know that exact thought had crossed my mind too........

Gotta go swing by the office and hold down the fort there this evening. Dont think my uni quite fits the office dress code, so I must run and change quickly into a suit & heels. ( bleck!! ) Too bad I dont own a purple suit,..would wear it in the PPP's honor for a good game!! ( & not to mention, it would like totally match my nail polish! Squeal-squeal! )

I hate leaving a party early!!

Have fun,...don't do anything I wouldn't do ( hee hee).
Remember to use a designated driver!

What happens at the PPP/Keyboard after- party, ...staaaays at the PPP/Keyboard after party! ( wink-wink )

Its been a pleasure.

*** Hope you all have a GREEEAT turkey day!! ***
Happy Thanksgiving and many good Blessings to all!!

Wow I'm honored! What can I say, it is what it is. I'd like to thank God for all my abilties. He gave me the skills that paid the bills. I'd like to thank my corporate sponsor Gateway, for providing the keyboards and look for the AK-1300 in stores for Christmas. Check out the lines for those PlayStation.

How quickly Our AK has learned.....

The karma thread probably should be categorized differently than all others. For example, the Woodman is probably responsible for 700 of the replies and approximatley 17,000 views in that thread all by himself That probably makes him a hsbbweb hall-of-famer in and of itself
