LAKEWOOD, CO (TP) – The Conundrums dropped an 18-15 heartbreaker to league newbies Conexxion on Monday night, ending a two year streak of opening day victories.   The Puzzlers raced to an early 9-1 lead in the match before the Law of Averages took hold, bringing the Conundrums back to reality.  Interim Manager and Team Historian Jason Emmot was unfazed by the result, noting “The last two times we lost on Opening Day, in 2010 and 2011, we won the League title.  This season is going exactly to plan so far.”    

Crabby Butcher: Opening Day pitcher Sean Butcher was back to his normal shenanigans on Monday, as the Conexxionaires used solid softball strategy by refusing to swing at balls not thrown in the vicinity of the plate.  Butcher, not known for his left-handed accuracy, sensing a conspiracy between Conexxion and the league umpire, unleashed a verbal tirade upon the opponent for refusing to swing at balls thrown too far, too short, or behind the batter.   Team doctor Ryan Wilcoxen has prescribed some Chill Out Pills for week 2. 

Casey or Kasey?:  After starting the game a respectable 3-3, leadoff hitter Brandon Casey struck out twice with the game figuratively on the line.  Brandon has pledged to bring free beer to the week 2 match for everyone not named “Brandon Casey”. 

OMG, WTF, OMG!!!:  The Conundrums try to get off the snide in week 2 as they prepare for a 7:15p match up with One Hit Wonders.  The Puzzlers hope their opponents live up to their name considering the Wonderboys beat league stalwarts Maptek 31-0 in week 1.
