Stranded Nomads seek the company of Wilson

An eyewitness said this game definitely gave the fans in the stands their money’s worth. (It’s free admission…get it?)

The good news for Bling Bling is that they kept the game surprisingly close. The impending arrival of their uniforms should make up the difference in future games, because it’s all about how good you look out there.

Aside from the first inning, the Nomads stranded a steaming heap of base runners, failing to take advantage of their many scoring chances. They may think they got an easy win, but others are looking at this game as having exposed some serious chinks in the Tribe’s armor. Are the Nomads merely playing down to their competition, or are they a flawed team?

Next week, the Sluggos, who will be very angry, will answer that question when they face Massarweh’s ‘Mads. Ziggy and Schwa have been burning the phone lines to their bookies, with the smart money on the Sluggos.

Here's some game action from the first inning, with the bases loaded for Shukri Saleh:

Blinger left scratching his head after Shukri's deep fly ball scores four runs.

Bling Bling fought very hard in this game.
and let me add that Bling Bling were missing two key players,
and they played with one girl, which means, one out automaticlly when her spot is next.

The Nomads were five down this game and will be six down against the Sluggos... The are extremly lucky not to face our complete lineup... Having that said.. I would still put my money on those Nomads...Word...

Ladies & Gentlemen, that's the Slog's first ever use of "Word" in such a context. To further employ the parlance of our times, we now have "street cred."

I'm thrilled, really.
