TRx Softball Game 4 Write-up - TRx Beats Other Team With A (Veri)-logue

Last night TRx took on their inter-office nemesis Verilogue, as well as a biased umpire, in a battle for use of the elevator and stairs at 220 Gibraltar. With another late game, TRx took to the Iron Abbey en masse, for a pregame drinking showdown with the few unfrightened 'Logue-ers. After each team attempted to buy their opponents multiple shots and intoxicate them, Dempsey took matters into his own hand and drank all of them. Due to these pregame shenanigans, Old Demps made wholesale changes in the field, putting himself in right center, with TO playing first, and KB taking on the shortstop duties, in what was at least the fifth iteration of the lineup. And these changes did not necessarily pay off early in the game...

TRx Softball Game 3 Writeup - TRx Takes It In The Bottom (of the 7th)

Last night TRx took on their hated auditors Kreishner Miller in salacious softball action. After last week’s heartbreaking loss to the Golden Gloves, Old Demps was both physically and mentally wrecked. Even the pregame happy hour couldn’t pull him out of his funk, and if there is one thing Dempsey knows, it’s “don’t fake the funk on a nasty dunk” (www.youtube.com/watch?v=01-vPBqLplg). With thoughts of his previous putrid pitching performance, his lifelong battle with plantar fasciitis, and his recent breakup (http://www.metrolyrics.com/breakin-up-lyrics-sean-dempsey.html), Demps decided to concentrate on his managerial duties this game, and kept himself out of the lineup.

TRx Softball Game 2 Write-up – Even More Confusing Than Lost (Which is What TRx Did)

Last night TRx had their home opener, and took on the dreaded Golden Gloves in what would turn out to be a bloodbath (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ld7MMZOep5o). The mere mention of their team name led to Greg breaking down in tears with a sense of loss, as he missed former teammate Chris “Hit King” Golden, who has been stranded at home with brother Timmy for the last 3 years for fear of the next crippling snow storm. While it might have been hot outside yesterday, somewhere, it must be snowing (perhaps in another universe?). These wouldn’t be the last tears leaving Greg’s body, in what would be a long game, yet one which would not go a full 7 innings.
