The great Ted Williams once remarked: “When I was younger, the Red Sox used to stop sometimes in Greenville, South Carolina—that’s Joe Jackson’s home. And he was still alive. Oh, how I wish I had known that and could have stopped in to talk hitting with that man.” Many of us wish we could have talked with Joe Jackson!
Hurtin' Units lose 19-6
Team Record 5-7-0
Coventry Park- This game is the half way point in the season. We started the season off like a house on fire and we looked like we may contend for the league title, but we went in to a little bit of a slide and some of the other teams don't show any sign of slowing down...In the month of April the Hurtin' Units went 4-1, winning the first 4 games of the season. In the month of June the Units have a 1-6 record... Ouch!!

Bill J believes we are on this losing streak because of his new shoes. We have not won a game since he started wearing these shoes, with the exception of the night he had to leave the game and I came in to pitch, but we were losing the game when he left... There could something to this, but everyone probably has a reason as to why we are not playing well... The funny thing is when we're hitting and scoring runs the other teams are doing the same and when we are playing solid defense we can't seem to put runs up on the scoresheet. I've heard many o' captain say that it's all practise until the playoffs, I don't like to use this line, I like winning, winning is fun...Maybe we can put June behind us and look forward to July... What say ye shoeless Billy? Is it time to go shoeless??
At game time we were missing Richard and Paul E...
The game got off to a rough start, the Ligaments scored 3 runs in the top of the first inning, and we went down 1,2,3, there were no runs scored in the second inning. In the third, I came in to pitch, while shoeless Bill caught, I gave up 4 more runs, but in the bottom of the inning we woke up for 4 runs of our own... 7-4 Ligaments after 3 innings...
The seventh inning saw the Ligaments score one more run and the Units go down 1,2,3 for the third time in the game...
Maybe we ( the Hurtin' Units) are trying a little to hard, maybe, just maybe, everyone needs to relax a little bit and loosen our grip on the bats, we are a much better team than we showed in the month of June. The HTKP tournament is a great time to relax and get ourselves back on track...
Our next regular season game is Tuesday July 5, 2011 at Coventry Park at 7:00pm.
