Mucho Gusto to My Eyes and Ears
July 9th
vs. Mucho Gusto
I miss softball.
I miss Tracey and Bogie the most, but I really miss you guys, and I miss softball. We got our spark back, and I loved being a part of it. I would have loved to take a swing against BNS, the "most franchised" team in softball, or to have a side bet with Mucho Gusto for some unrecognizable fried chicken parts and plantains. Unfortunately, I couldn't, and I'll miss us kicking ass in the playoffs.
Being on another continent, it's a little hard to do a writeup, so the best I can do to get what sounds like an amazing game into the history books, is to share what I heard and read about it.
Tracey
hello love,
just got home from the softball game and guess what... we WON! it was a great game. we played mucho gusto and we started off behind. we caught up at 7 then they got ahead 11-7. ultimately we went into overtime and beat them by one. it was pretty incredible. i even got to play- catcher for the last 2 innings. i need to practice at it though, i really suck.
this puts us one game ahead in the playoffs, which means we play mucho gusto again. not sure when that game will be.
everyone was asking how you have been. they all send their best. it was weird being there without you.

Jamie: Babe, I can't even hear anything
Jon. Jon, I think there was a beep, and I'm leaving a message. We just fucking had an amazing game against Mucho Gusto. We came back twice. Extra inning win. Jim Mason - fucking amazing hits. Intentional walks to Henry. Jim Mason, both times gets up, big RBIs to tie it up. We're 4 down, 4 down in the 7th to come back. And it was phenomenal. Steve Reinert, injured, but comes in, hitting in his bare feet. Big clutch hits. Making really good catches in the outfield. Really ragtag group, dude. Reinert couldn't play the outfield. Rob making picks. Dude, we did it. This was the one game that if you were there you could have had a 8 page writeup. It was endless. Everybody, everybody. Like Sarah, clutch hit. Alyce 2-out down the line single to knock in two to tie it up. It was just crazy. It was crazy. We miss you. We made a toast to you at the bar. And ah, Tracey couldn't come back with us. She had to go somewhere. It's too bad. But anyway. We're all thinking about you. We wish you were here. There were too many plays to talk about. Too many plays. My wonderful woman here knocking line drives down with her body and almost turning double plays. It was just great. It was great.
And they were fucking good. They were good. So..
Tam: Love you. Wish you were here.
Jamie: So, anyway. Good-bye.
Willy
Jonny Boy. What's going on, man? It's Willy. I was just calling you to see what's up, man . To see how you are. We miss you down here already. You're over in fucking Euroland or wherever you're at. I was just calling to say, "What's up, man." Let you know that everything's fucking cool down here . We fucking beat the shit out of .. Ah. Ah. What the hell's the name of that fucking team? Mucho Gusto. We whooped up on them for you. Did it all for you. Miss you. My fucking wife is out with your wife, dude . Fucking out all night partying. These chicks without us. Fucking tell ya, man. We get no respect nowadays. But anyway, hurry up and get back home here. We need you back here. We need your writeups. We need the fucking... we need the info. Enjoy yourself out there. Fucking be careful. Later, Dawg.
Glad you guys had a great game. I wish I could have been there to be a part of it. Just don't get cocky now. I want to hear and read only good things about the playoffs! Have fun!
