Game 1

Tommee’s Trouser Snakes, struck first, scoring 3 slick runs off a homerun blast from Diego to right center field. Rocky’s Red Rockets countered with consistent hits and relentless base running. Several slugging shots by Sriracha John, Philapino Richard, Rick, John Stockton, Rocky and Alan, gave the Rockets a 7-3 lead that they never relinquished. Tommee and his team of Trouser Snakes slithered back into the game with a run in the second and three in the third to tie the score. However, Rocky’s three run blast to deep left center field was the dagger, as the Rockets regained a 4 run lead in the 4th. However, the trouser snakes would not be softened, and they pushed the Rockets until the final out. They scored 4 in the final frame, and had a chance to take the game to extra innings. Unfortunately John Chicken F. popped out to Richard at third base with two on base to end the game 15-14 for the Rockets. Funniest moment of the game (unless you were Tommee) was when an errant throw from

Diego, who was totting a half eaten sausage in his glove led to Tommee being trounced at third by a hard running Sriracha John. To his credit, Tommee picked himself up, yelled at yours truly and put his game face on for game 2.

Game 2

Due to the competitiveness of game 1, the boys decided to keep the identical teams for the second half of the double header. Tommee’s team this time cooled the Rockets, with solid, all around defense. New Canadian stud Bruce made several strong plays at left field, while Phil finally decided to bend down at shortstop and threw out many of the Rocket batters. Diego and Bruce banged out homers and Robert and Nick hit long doubles to give the Trouser Snakes plenty of breathing room. Final count was a 9 to 3 victory for the Trouser Snakes. For the starting line ups and box scores, see below, and hopefully we will see you on the diamond next Sunday.

Profile of a Player

Two long times, unsung heroes are profiled here today. For the first time Tommee and Rocky were given the title of captain and both performed brilliantly in their roles! As the booby prize (a prize most in Pattaya enjoy) they will now be roasted by yours truly, and hopefully both will still be talking to me, come next Sunday. So without further adieu I give you the Rocky and Tommee show. Rocky, known more for his fashionable dress then his dangerous bat has slowly but surely become a ball player. Typically sulking in the corner, when picked last, the ROCK was captain for the day, and was a force to be reckoned with. He banged a major league home run in the first game to spark his team to victory and snatched a sure homerun blast off of Diego’s bat in game two. He has deceptive speed around the bases, and now that his bat and glove seem to be working, he may actually be picked second last next week!
