How about a record nine home runs in one day? That's what we had on Friday, February 22, 2008. Welcome back, Freak. Nomads' Shukri Saleh responded to the challenge and put himself in a tie for the home run chase...in three at-bats. Green Monster Ash Samawi became the first player to homer for two different teams during the same season...and he did it on the same day. (One for his team and one for Hit Squad.) His teammate Javier "Gunny" Diaz kept up with a bomb of his own. Yet another Monster, Jeff Coupe, sent one into orbit--just 'cuz it looked like it'd be enjoyable. Who the heck does Nadim Kayyali think he is? The Slacker went yard in the morning game, which means you should be on the lookout for beasts out of the sea and earth. And don't forget about the talking trees. The Trojans have a beast of their own in Aaron Bouchane. The rookie absolutely crushed a meatball into the lot behind left field. Now can someone please explain why Aaron was batting seventh? As always, only "real" homers count. The record for a total season (including the tourney) is 6, by Shukri Saleh (Nomads, Summer 2007). The record for a regular season tally is 5, by Mike Moore (Green Monsters, Winter 2007). Here's the way the Home Run Race looks through Feb. 22: 3: Javier "Gunny" Diaz, Green Monsters Shukri Saleh, Nomads Ash Samawi, Green Monsters 1: Yazan Barghouti, Slackers Saif Barhoum, Trojans Aaron Bouchane, Trojans Jeff Coupe, Green Monsters Nadim Kayyali, Slackers Larry Martin, Hit Squad 0: Omar Massarweh, Nomads Tiny "Yeah, I'll Be There" Saleh, 4U2NV Honorable Mention: We haven't had a woman hit one out yet, but Green Monsters' Brooke Sartawi has come closer than anyone else, falling only about 15 feet short in the Week 3 game against the Nomads. With Zaki Ibrahim playing left field on the 150' arc, Brooke sailed one roughly 130' over his shocked head, a 280' single-bouncer to the left-field fence. In retaliation for my wife's attack on him with her bat, Zaki had his wife, Ghadeer, attack me with her cell phone. (Note: Brooke does have three inside-the-park homers this season, all of them screamers.) Hopefully I don't have to sleep on the couch again. ;)

hahahahaha mood your my favorite now...I'm cracking up at that post. yalla zaki is up for a homerun...prepare your blog and add zaki ibrahim to the list!!
Brooke..you rock =)im always rooting for the girl on the team no matter what team they are on...we need a girl to hit a home run!!!
Whatcha mean, I'm your favorite NOW? Haven't I always been?
Great round-up, Mude!
Correction: Didnt Le Freak have 7 Home Runs that season?
No matter, Le Freak will break HIS OWN HR record with 8 this season. Everybody else will play catch up.
Massarweh will have 1 by season end. No Doubt.

Massarweh...Games that don't count, don't count. Shuk had 3 in the regular season and 3 in the playoffs. He did hit one during the All-Star game, but that's an exhibition. If you want proof, look at the HR trophy presentation at the end of the 2007 Summer championship game. (If it's not too painful.)
Kinzi...Thanks -- and I have that movie for you.
you know speaking of such, we havent had a "robbed homer" yet. I think i'll have to challenge Green Puke to go yard on me so I can crush the hopes of that long ball.
As for Brooke, come to think of it, I'm glad I didnt steal your glory away by being behind that ball because you sure as hell deserve it more than anyone, shows how much we underestimated your talent! I'll be waiting for you Friday, and definitely not on the 150' haha
Hey Mude, its time to acknowledge some great fieldwork too so lets have it man!
zaki
Nomads Forever
The Pink Hyundai did a kickin job on the field a couple weeks ago...Is that the fieldwork yer talkin about?
Massarweh feels like hitting a homerun? hahaha Good one!
i am with Zaki about the field work thingy!
and Mude, this season, you havent post any pics for Ziggy and schwa!
Mude: Its ok man. I beleive you.
Zaki: "We" respected Brooke, but you learned the hard way my friend.
Maher: Khaleek muhtaram.
Omar (c)
Pink Hyundai did indeed but you know what i mean foofoo! by the way, i think its time for that thing to make a round out there this Thursday or Friday, that field looks like it could use some help. I'll be out there if you need me to, just let me know
Massarweh: the hard way, but i've learned my lesson and im sure if its attempted again by anybody not just Brooke, they're not gonna be too happy about the end result
