Victory for The Dark Side

This past Saturday, The Dark Side had its first scrimmage, against another work team called the Rockers. This matchup was especially anticipated by me, because the coach of the Rockers, a good work friend of mine, is also a big smack talker. Only half of his team (7 players) showed up, while 9 players from my team were there. As a result, each team provided a pitcher for the other side, to field full teams (we also provided a catcher for them). The contest wasn't really even close. At the end of the second inning, it was 7 to 2, and the deficit kept growing. The final score was a resounding 18 to 9, a crushing defeat to the half-present Rockers and a spirit-lifting victory for the overwhelming force known as The Dark Side! I had our team wear their jersies to the scrimmage, while the other team was just in street clothes. I think that helped intimidate the opposition. Our final test will be this Saturday, at the first annual Softball Summer Slam! Four softball games in one day. I hope our endurance holds up. I would ask you to wish us luck, but there is no luck. There is only the force. The DARK side of the force! We will do. Or do not. There is no try.
