Thursday July 9………5:25 p.m………captain JOEL “SPARKY” FOGEL reports in from his loss to TEAM NEWMAN that the best part of last night was the beer was cold and the food was tasty….it’s been that kind of year for TEAM FOGEL, mainly trying to field his original team, however, brighter days may be ahead…….they only had nine players (two subs) and held the lead after 2 1/2 innings, but then the house caved in and TEAM NEWMAN won, 17-3, in a six inning mercy game……interesting side notes were……DAVID ”DEE” HARRIS, filling in for regular starter JAN BECKER, pitched and only walked one batter……FOGEL, the great athlete that he is, played a stellar centerfield (remember they only had three outfielders)…..DAVID WEIL, according to FOGEL, looked liked MIKE SCHMIDT at third base…….hmmmmmmmm………..FOGEL commented afterwards, “Next week I expect big things. I expect close to a full team. It’s a perfect time to turn this thing around.”…………..r.rosenthal@fuse.net………..
