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.

2010 Softball Game 1 - They Say You Can Always Come Home

They say you can always come home (unless you are homeless, in which case you are always home), and yesterday marked the triumphant return of two former TargetRx mainstays- the infamous softball team, and the man, the myth, the legend, Ken Buonocore. After a 3 year hiatus from league play due to the disbanding of the former incarnation of the TRx softball team caused by mismanagement of team funds by Greg from Finance (which may have paid for his wedding to former scorekeeper Dana), a new triumvirate came forth to resurrect this former beast from the dead. In a lucid alcohol-induced dream, Old Demps had a vision of the Mike Berardi doing the Mad Elf dance and singing “If you build it, they will come” while prancing through the outfield, much as he did during TRx’s last official softball game. After waking up with cold sweats and screaming, Dempsey knew something had to be done to eliminate the memories of such a nefarious character, who was probably talking about the children’s playground near the field in the dream. He quickly assembled the brain trust of Brian “Tick Tock” Dividock and Krysta “The Shiv” Shivick to go about assembling a new softball squad to rise like the Phoenix from the ashes (and keep the funds away from Greg, who never got free jersey’s for previous teams due to his money laundering). This team would be represent the Olympic motto- Citius, Altius, Fortius… or at least be a bunch of people who enjoy the occasional happy hour before and/or after a softball game.

2007 Softball Game - This Has Blin-ternational Blin-cident Written All Over It

In a game they had to win to advance to the playoffs, TargetRx took on the Advanta Blue Sox in life-or-death action on Monday. Faced with missing the playoffs following last weeks shellacking, things didn’t look good for TRx going into the game, following their 16-5 loss the previous week. They were clearly on the ropes going into the game, as “real” captain GLG decided to play in the outfield instead of playing shortstop, as Golden took over this vital position. TRx was missing Ol Demps, who was so angry about having to split time with Blin at EH last week, he decided to skip both the game and happy hour, something the Old Ol Demps never would have done (specifically the happy hour part).

2007 Softball Game

On Tuesday night, TargetRx took on XXXX in a battle for their playoff lives. After squandering their chance in the heart-breaking 18-17 loss, TRx came out with passion and fire not seen since Elf first learned what the age of consent was in PA (needless to say, he is in favor of lowering it, not that that would help him at all…). Playing back at home, where their record is 3-1, TRx had high hopes (and Ana and Sam weren’t even there), with KB on the mound, and in the minds and hearts of those throughout the world.

2007 Volleyball- Revenge Is A Dish Best Served By Anyone But Berardi

Last Thursday, TRx took on team Delta (formerly the Deltoids) in volleyball action. As some may recall, this is the team with the woman who fought Berardi before their previous game. B-rad was clearly looking for revenge, and was fired up for this game all week. In fact, he couldn’t even fall asleep the night before, so instead he found out the address of his nemesis, and kept ringing her doorbell and running (or prancing, like an Elf) behind a tree. That crafty Elf will do whatever it takes to win.

2007 Softball Game - Give Us Liberty Or Give Us Death? We'll Take Both

Last Wednesday (May 23), TargetRx took on a strong Liberty in rousing softball action. TRx knew this would be a tough game, as only Shannon showed up, being the lone female representative. Apparently, all of the Elf’s creepy antics are finally starting to drive away the rest of the women, meaning the guys better start watching out, as when desperate the Elf will take anything he can get. We even saw him get into it before the game even started, as he slyly leaned on the opposing teams fence, and whispered to the female scorekeeper, “So, do you come here often, and if not, do you want to?” before being chased off by her teammates.
