But a Bitch Ain’t One – May 4th Game

 

If you're havin' girl problems i feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one

I got the rap patrol on the gat patrol
Foes that wanna make sure my casket's closed
Rap critics that say he's "Money Cash Hoes"
I'm from the hood stupid, what type of facts are those
If you grew up with holes in ya zapatos
You'd celebrate the minute you was havin' dough
I'm like fuck critics you can kiss my whole asshole
If you don't like my lyrics you can press fast forward
Got beef with radio if i don't play they show
They don't play my hits well i don't give a shit SO
Rap mags try and use my black ass
So advertisers can give 'em more cash for ads...fuckers
Howa know what you take me as
or understand the intelligence that Jay-Z has
I'm from rags to ritches niggas i ain't dumb
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me

The Game

Can’t say the same for Lobo.  6:30pm rolls around and they still only have one woman to play on their team.  They eventually recruited someone’s girlfriend to play.  How is that possible?  Isn’t everyone dying to get to the field to play?

 

I missed most of the game, but from what I heard it was a good one. B61 played tight defense, and with a final score of 16-8, we certainly hit well.  Lobo was better than the Dirty Dawgs, much better hitting and fielding, so it made the win that much sweeter.  Apparently, we even had Blue in our corner because by the time I got there, he was joking with us.  When JJ went in to pinch run for Henry, Blue said, “The runner is the last batted out.  It’s usually Jason.”  Did we slip him a beer before the game started?  

 

Memorable Moments

·         Vipond making an amazing double play by tagging third and making the throw to Whipit.  Using his jerry-rigged glove apparently made the play all the better

·         The awesome stopping of a home run with the relay throws from Steve to Matt to Henry to make the play at the plate

·         At least two more 2-out rallies for the Bus Stops

·         Henry making a great pitching debut

·         Capone apparently hitting the Mr. Softee truck with a foul ball.  Yeehaw

·         Betsy getting brushed by the runner going to second yet still making the underhanded throw to Whipit to get the runner out at first

·         The final play of the game – Jamie fields a grounder and throws it a little high to Whipit.  Whipit has both of his arms over his head for the catch with his foot on the bag when the runner barrels right into him and knocks him back two feet onto the ground.  When Whipit lands, the ball rolls out of his glove.  He scrambles to his feet, and I’m thinking he’s going to punch that guy out.  Instead, he gets up and screams, “I held the ball long enough!!”  Sure enough, Blue calls him out.  Whipit does a patented Raible/ Incredible Hulk roar and flex.  Lobo’s third base coach remarked to Jamie after the play, “That guy loves the pain.” 

 

Player of the Game

The unanimous vote for Player of the Game went to Alyce for driving in 3 runs with some great hits.    Not only did she play incredibly, she took the notes for the writeup AND jerry-rigged Jamie’s glove before his double play.  Is there anything this girl can’t do? Well done, Alyce!  We love ya.
