LAKEWOOD, CO (TP) - On a redundantly cold and chilly night, the air might have been frigid, but the Conundrum bats were positively sizzling. Finding their stride in Week 3 of the 2011 Lakewood Leisure League campaign, the Mystery Boys crushed the Rebellion, aka The Rebels 23-8 in a 4 inning “blowout the candles” abbreviated contest. It was a bloodbath from the old “get go” as the Puzzlers blasted the Rebs early and often, including 8 and 10 run bursts in the 1st and 3rd innings respectively. Admitted former HGH user, Dale St. Aubin took home the Crunchoclaty MVP this week with a perfect 4 for 4 at the plate that included a two-run bomb and 4 RBI’s. The Conundrums slugger and ace hurler (from the pitcher’s mound, not the porcelain bus) reluctantly accepted the coach’s award and was quoted as saying “there are those far more deserving than I”. Privately, however, Aubbie simply wanted to get home and watch highlights from William/Kate’s wedding. If it wasn’t too late, he’d indulge himself with an Apprentice to boot.
Defective Metal? - On this late night, everyone was hitting. Well… almost everyone. The only ‘drum-sticks that were not beating properly were from the “Velveeta Connection”, otherwise referred to as Eric Swan Song and Thomas Hody Ho-dorf. After destroying yet another Conundrum rally, Tom pleaded with Coach Tomey to throw him to the back of the lineup from now on, but coach said “no can do”. “Why do you think my average is as sick as it is?” said a clearly guarded coach. Swanny was still recovering from his bachelor party from the previous weekend in his digs in Aurora. TWICS Pubs didn’t get the inside story of what was no doubt a raucous affair; the official news from the Swanny camp was simply, “what happens in Aurora, stays in Aurora”.
Who You Calling Yellow? – Like any other game, the Conundrums-Rebel matchup was adjudicated by two league officials. What was unusual, however, was the home plate umpire, Alfred E. Shooman shunned the normal blue attire in favor of the bright yellow jacket. It was a confusing time for many of the players, who did not know how to address Big Al. At the game’s conclusion, one player requesting anonymity, said good naturedly, “Hey Yellow, nice game!”, which you can imagine caused quite a stir. Shooman had to be restrained by his blue colleague. Shouts of “Who you calling yellow!” and “you better watch your back, jack!” echoed throughout the empty park. On a personal note, this reporter was more struck at the resemblance of the yellow-jacketed ump to Colonel Mustard than anything else…but hey, that’s just me.
