HR Derby, Utah 5/11
Citing our recent display of power, I predict many shots hit tomorrow. I say we enact a penalty for Solo HRs and HRs that are outs. I propose those breaking these rules have to
a) Skip around the bases for all solo shots. (I am talking an arms swinging joyous frolic)
b) Run the bases for a HR out, even though it is an out. (I am talking, fist pumping excited HR trot)
I realize these actions may piss off the other team, but I find them hilarious.

Reflections from 5/4
Another couple of quality wins for the Lollygaggers, 14-4 and 25-14 over CCSP Empty Pitchers. It's always fun to beat the sponsored teams. They won their first two games 27-4 and 24-6, so I think that helps explain why they were more than a little pissed to get slaughter ruled by us twice. We improved to 4-0 on the season. Now, onto my thoughts on the game...
-Props to an injured Queeney for coming to the field ready to stand-in until our 10th player arrived, despite a splint on his finger; he was activated from the DL for long enough to do a little catching, but much like Moonlight Graham, he never got to bat;
-We brought the power in a big way last night, using all six of our allotted HRs (the other team accused us of hitting seven, but more on that in a minute), as well as a couple of HR outs and shots off the fence; congratulations to Will on his first Lollygagger HR, and to me for two in one inning... I don't think I had ever done that, and there were actually runners on - a rarity for me;
-So the other team first falsely accused us of going over our HR limit, and then lost track of the # of outs in the inning; note: if you're going to complain to the umpire, you should probably at least keep a scorebook;
-Speaking of the umpire, he told me he was giving them sympathy calls after we hung twelve runs on them in an inning and Steve took out their pitcher with a liner; he later admitted to calling Matt C. out, thereby ending our rally, just to mess with him (they are friends); that was too good of a team for gift calls - fortunately, it didn't end up mattering;
-I was impressed that Erick had a full medical kit handy... I feel like a mature adult if I even have a couple of band-aids in my bag; of course the guy chases ambulances for a living, so I suppose he has to be prepared to deal with injuries;
-A serious thank you to Marisa and Lianne for giving up their studying/paper writing to chase down fouls and HRs (note that I'm not saying "balls", as the jokes are too obvious);
-We survived without the stellar catching of Quast, who is basically a fauxhawked Molina
