TRx Softball Game 7 Write-up: The Sweet Stench of Death

Last night TargetRx played their seventh game of the year, hoping to guarantee a winning record for the season in the horrendous humidity and hellish Horsham heat hoping to humiliate the helpless humans of Softerwear. Given the stifling heat, TRx decided it was too hot to run, and therefore too hot to score runs. On top of that, they were missing multiple players who likely had the runs. Alas, a victory was not meant to be, as signs were ominous even as TRx approached the field. They were enveloped by a rank odor, the likes of which haven’t been smelled since the last company lunch at the old Chinese buffet place on 611. Early on, it was feared that the odor was the decomposing bodies of either David, Aaron, TO, or Steve. Perhaps Father’s Day was not too happy for them after all. Luckily for TRx, Shannon made her triumphant softball return and Mike made his TRx softball debut to keep hope alive. If not for these two noble souls, super fan Krysta’s mom would have had to play 2nd, with her dog, Parker making like Air Bud (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0288415/) and roaming the outfield.

TRx Softball Game 6 Write-Up: TRx Makes Reed (And Steve's Kids) Say "Daddy"

Last night the streaking TRx team (4-1) took on perennial cellar-dwellers Reed (0-4) in a battle to save the children’s souls. Before the game, both teams engaged in a spirited debate over the future. While Steve believes the children are our future, and tries to teach them well and let them lead the way, the Flyin’ Hawaiian umpire from previous games, and Reed’s third baseman, argued that children should not be raised in this cold world to suffer such indignities as a softball umpire who also plays in the same league that he umpires. He argued that robots were the future, and would have pointed to his girlfriend (http://www.crunchgear.com/2008/06/12/new-kissing-robot-from-japan/) as proof, but she was unable to attend the game due to rust-related concerns stemming from the ominous weather forecast.

TRx Softball Game 5 Write-up- Who Let The Dog's Out?

Last night TargetRx took on potential future client Auxillium in their fifth game of the season. Luckily, it was another 6:30 start time, giving certain members of both teams ample time to mentally prepare for the game at the Iron Abbey. Dempsey put this time to good use, racking his brain for the perfect lineup and defensive positioning. Needless to say, as the beers went down, the lineup got more and more interesting. At one point, Drunk Guy from the other team was going to be our pitcher, the umpire was going to play right field, and the bartender was going to catch. Luckily, Greg emerged as the voice of reason, convincing Old Demps to return to his initial lineup. At the bar, Auxillium tried to intimidate TRx with their willingness to take shots, and their pinstriped uniforms, but they were unaware of the new TRx uniforms making their debut (now with color!), courtesy of Steve and the BD team. TRx quickly made their escape in an effort to leave before Drunk Guy got in his car to drive to the field.
