-The Ghetto All-Stars defeated the Townsville Mojojojoes by the score of 14-7 to capture their fifth End of Summer Classic championship. It was the first time the ESC title has been defended since ESC II when GAS defeated Townsville.
-Stephan, Jimmy and Nannan (6-8 in the GAS order) combined to go 9-14 with 6 runs and 9 rbi.
-Jackson tore shit up at the plate, mirroring Nannan's performance by going 4-5 and reaching base in every at-bat.
-The pitchers combined to strike out 26, the most since ESC III (off the top of my head...this may be inaccurate).
-Jose had the GREATEST SACRIFICE in the history of ever when he executed a suicide squeeze in the top of the 5th; Stephan scored on the play.
-Mike made a SICK catch off of Alejandro's fly ball to center in the 9th. He also brought the noise.
-Kevin and Pepe collided in the outfield on a fly ball from Flynn. Kevin then showed us what was in his shorts. It was big and veiny.
-After barely taking third base on an error by the left fielder, Stephan screamed at Sepulveda, "SUCK IT BITCH!" Hilarity ensued.
-Pepe's Friday excursion to the batting cages paid great dividends; he went 2-4 with only 1 strikeout (looking).
-Unfortunately, the celebrity softball game was canceled due to lack of available players. Nonetheless, fun was had by most.
-CRod showed up, despite being told that we were full and and had drafted two weeks ago. He took over batting practice and decked himself out in his catcher's gear. Further, he took Vicki's umpire spot yet left without saying anything in the middle of the game. That was odd. All of it.
-We had several players return from long absences. For GAS, Harris, Jimmy and Nannan combined to reach base 10 times, while Townsville's Flynn and CJ combined to reach base 5 times.
-The person whose name is on Dame Wendy the most times is Brian Mangan. He's been on the winning team each of the last three years.
-The after party was fucking awesome. People who watch How I Met Your Mother would say that it was Legen...wait for it...Dary. Early 90's wrestling fans would say that it was...Perfect.
-Mark made the last out of the game for the second year in a row, both times with Wilson making the putout.
- Several members of Townsville were left crying after Wilson's curveball. CJ suggested we move up in the box. That's what she said.
- Jose's bunt was absolutely the greatest thing ever in the history of all things.
- While Sepulveda was taking bp, c-rod and nannan each offered him 20 bucks if i could "show alejandro some real noise" by hitting him while he walked between 2nd and 3rd without a glove on. seeing as how Bryan owed roger 15 bucks, he took the challenge, but got jammed and softly hit a blooper in his direction and got no money.
- Townsville tried about 9 times to steal wendy away from GAS. however, showing even less team unity after the game than during it, only one person would go at a time (mostly myself), who would then get mobbed by GAS (including omar, who at one point showed no regard for his personal safety and just dove onto wendy)
- From the Flynn department of made up stats, Flynn had about a 9 pitch at bat in the second inning before finally striking out swinging. It's the longest at bat he remembers having
- Jose is fricken awesome
