Game Summary:
Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona. ~George F. Will, Men at Work: The Craft of Baseball, 1990

The day was Thursday, June 19, 2008 and it was opposite day....

On opposite day, there is no worry about fielding an entire team. In fact, subs were volunteering weeks in advance to play for the BPGRC's for this game.

On opposite day, all the players show up early, and there is never a worry that traffic would hold someone up (or more importantly hold the beer up!)

On opposite day, the ump is friendly and all call's go Byrne's Pub way... along with the call to ignore the beer drinking on the sideline.

On opposite day, everyone bats amazingly well.

On opposite day, Hammer doesn't wear a hat and PYT doesn't wear pants.

On opposite day, our pitcher doesn't give up one walk and the opposing batters swing at every pitch.

On opposite day, the BPGRC's never have that one inning defensively that puts the game out of reach. Oh, the glory of opposite day.

On opposite day, Spanks doesn't sweat, Tarsh doesn't burp and Tree doesn't tell the jelly vs. jam joke.... well maybe not... even opposite day couldn't prevent that from happening!

And lastly, on opposite day, the BPGRC's run rule their opponent to win the game!! Byrne's Pub Wins!! Hooray for opposite day!!
