Softball Game (5/31/2006) - Victory At Last

With the team in disarray due to Berardi's coaching, the majority of Team TRx turned to their only friend before last night's game against Kreisher Miller- alcohol. Fueled by this liquid sustenance of numerous beers and a few shots, TRx finally won their first game of the season, 11-1 in 4 innings of play.

Softball Game (5/23/2006) - Irony In Action - Blue Sox Give TRx the Blues... and Steal Their Socks

With Captain Berardi still looking for that elusive first victory, TRx took on the GMAC Blue Sox last night. During the pregame warmup, Berardi spent much of the time crying about his injured hand, begging for attention, instead of warming up his arm. I guess he realized he has no chance of ever throwing anyone out, so he's just given up at this point. Once the game finally started, much like everything else the Elf touches, everything went downhill in a hurry.

2006 Volleyball Game 2 (5/22/2006)

In another dominating performance, TRx defeated American Meter 2-0 (15-4, 15-4). With Ana serving a league-imposed suspension due to her cursing, TRx welcomed Kim and Shannon onto the team. Yet the bigger story was the return of Young Johnson. Clad in headband, glasses, and cutoff shirt fresh off his performance on the Spanish national team, TRx both welcomed and feared his return. This fear was well-founded as JR attempted to reestablish his dominance and upset team chemistry with an early attack on Jonathan's hand, drawing blood. Yet motivated by this preposterous attack, Jonathan played on.

2006 Volleyball Game 1 (5/18/2006)

TRx opened up the Volleyball season last night with a thrilling 2-0 victory (15-3, 15-7) over the Sting Arrays, playing a true team game despite missing the glue that doesn't hold us all together, big tipper Young Johnson (JR). Rumor has it he was in Spain, as the Spanish national team is recruiting slow white guys with bad knees to take them back to the bottom of the pile in international competition. Coach Golden, playing with a heavy heart, as he missed his brother, obviously learned much from former captain, Greg from Finance's great leadership during last seasons exciting playoff run, as the team was well-prepared for battle. Fans of the TRx sports program couldn't help but notice that Golden led to volleyball team to its first victory while Coach Berardi still hasn't gotten his first softball victory, as the calls for the Elf's resignation grew louder...

Softball Game 2 (5/8/2006)

In a game with many miscues, TRx endured a heartbreaking loss to the team named in honor of the Hit King- the Golden Gloves, on account of a little-known rule that Captain Elf and the rest of the team was unaware of, as the game was called on account of time. With only 9 players at the game, stud pitching machine Ben Lin knew he'd have to throw hard from the mound, and put the game in the hands of Remington and the defense. However, this was the fatal flaw, as TRx was missing a few key players, leading to others sacrificing their pride and playing out of position.

2006 Softball Game 1 (5/2/2006)

And begin it did... with a thrilling 7-7 tie, in a game few will forget, but even less will remember. Despite having never played softball, the new TargetRx ace, pitching machine Blin took the mound and the other team was immediately intimidated by his large stature. Blin immediately developed a rapport with catchers Meg and Kim, as due to their signals, he got the seasons first strikeout. With a swirling wind, the local cameraman's tripod was knocked over during the first inning, yet young Blin fought through the distraction and came up big to get the first two outs, as JR "looked on."
