LAKEWOOD, CO (TP) – Despite a late rally to tie the game in the top of the 7th inning, the Conundrums dropped their third straight game of the season against league pirates the Motorboaters 16-17 at Lakewood Park.

 

The Puzzlers remain confident despite going winless against the three teams who remain undefeated on the season.  Team doctor Ryan Wilcoxen said, "The wound looks worse than it is.  Have we taken some knocks?  Sure.  We've been suckerpunched a few times but are convinced we can stop the bleeding."

 

Team Treasurer Jason Emmot added, "Everyone recognizes that our record is in the red, but despite three straight weeks of declines, when you analyze the numbers you'll see that we've only down by a combined 5 points.  I'm bullish on this squad."

 

Key Player: Dan Steel took home his first TWIX award of 2014 despite locking his keys, glove, shoes, phone and dignity in the car prior to first pitch.  Steel, claiming his wife demanded that he make the spare key delivery "worth her while", responded by taking home an imaginary candy bar.  Contratulations Dan on a job well done. 

Dead Whale Sushi:  The Conundrums made the most of their postgame banter on Monday night, engaging in a spirited discussion regarding effects, and possible uses, of dead and decaying sea life on the world's beaches. 

WINTER STORM WARNING:  According to the National Weather Service, a large storm is scheduled to hit the Denver Metro Area yesterday and earlier this morning. The Conundrums fully expect the game to be played as scheduled.
