Summertime, and the livin's queasy

Super Ultra Doppler Radar (or as it's pronounced here, Soober Ultera Dohblar Ruhdaar) is predicting some serious heat. The high temperature on Friday will be 95. That's Fahrenheit, not Celsius. If it were Celsius, it would be a record or something. Anyway, hydrate, people.

That's the weather prediction. My prediction? Pain.


Break it down for us, Uncle Mude.

It will be my pleasure. I live to serve all who play with big, yellow balls...

9:00 AM (Game Time Temp 78/26):
Nomads @ Stars
(Umps: Beats)

Both teams are coming off quality wins. Will the combination of the Stars' all-yellow shirts and that hot morning sun doom the Nomads, or will the Wandering Softballers send Abu Mitchell Al-Zarqawi's cell home with a loss?

10:30 AM (82/29):
Beats @ Traitors
(Umps: Eagles)

Speakin' about animosity, how will Brooke & Kevin fare against their old teammates who are now Beats? Marikay, Daniel, et al, it's time for some revenge, no? (43-5?) The good news is, the DCM won't have to fire anyone this week, although citizenships may be revoked.

Noon (87/31):
Bling Bling @ Eagles
(Umps: Sluggos)

The Blingity Blingsters held their own against the Stars last week, but the Eagles are a different beast. Still, those black shirts the Eagles wear may absorb just enough heat to give the Blingtastical Blinginators a fighting chance. (Note: A male is a Blinginator, a female is a Blinginatrix.)

3:00 PM (93/34):
Sluggos @ Slackers
(Umps: Bling Bling)

Will Orrince make it back in time to take the field with the Sluggos, and if he does, will his momentum carry him, shoulder first, into a defenseless woman? I kid Orrince because I know plenty of places in which to hide from him. But more importantly, will the Slackers behave?
