Because of the extreme cold that has hit the Goucher region of the U.S, tonights wiffleball match was cancelled. It was cancelled in order to better facilitate the needs of "real" sports. I dont know what you all might think, but Sandlot Wiffleball is a REAL sport.

Lets lay out all the factors of an actual sport:
1. You usally move at a pace faster than a walk. (Most wiffleball players do this). Check.
2. You use specific objects that have no other use outside the sport at hand. (Well i guess the Bat could be used as a weapon, but Wiffleball folk are peaceful). Check.
3. You lower yourself to using animalesque gestures and noises in support--or opposition--of one another. (Let's just say we know how to rumble.) Check.
4. In and outside the arena of play we know how to have a good time. (That's right...We like to play with others as well as play with ourselves). Check.

Therefore...Wiffleball is a legitamite sport and should be seen that way. Until then...stay faithful, and pray for the Global Warming Gods to get there shit together and make the Goucher region extremely warm again. Because as much as I love snow, I love wiffleball more.
Good luck, and Good night.

Although the air outside was brisk, the Welch Gym last night hosted a "scorcher" of a game. At the opening stages of the game it was evident that the Monster Sluggers pitching staff had not been keeping up with there offseason pitch workout. The Husky Hitters began to destroy the wiffleball hitting homers with there dangerous 3,4,5 combination of Evan, Max and Simon. After going up 17-5 by the sixth inning, the Husky Hitters forced the Monster Sluggers to make a call to the bullpen. This, along with the Husky Hitters detiorarating stamina, allowed the Monster Sluggers to began to host a steady, yet amazing, comeback. At the time of the bottom of the 9th, with the Monster Sluggers up to bat, the score had become tied at 17-17. With only one swing of the bat, bullpen pitcher brought in starting pitcher for the most historic win in Monster Sluggers history. Unfortunately, Cpt. Ross was not there to savor the victory but it was a win for her in spirit. It must be noted that it was also Leah's first time. Congratulations Leah, and the entire Monster Sluggers Team!

The deal fell through.
After numerous attempts of getting funds from the Goucher Administration to travel to Florida for spring training, the Sandlot Wiffleball club was denied by a close vote of 9-0. However, all hope wasn't lost, as the school did offer to secure the old gym in the SRC every Wednesday night at 8:30 for us. Although this is still a significant upgrade for the Sandlot Wiffleball team in our pursuit of global domination, it has not come without dissent from some team members. A pitcher and outfielder combo (who have asked to reamin anonymous) have expressed the want to still play outside "rain, (snow), or shine." Although as a true journalist I am suppose to take a non-biased position, I do work for Fox News, and thus I agree with the pitcher/outfielder combo. After much debate with the President of the club, I think Wiffleball TWICE a week for those devoted is a possible solution. There will definitely be more coming from this developing situation, and if I had to guess this just might come down to a Rock-Paper-Scissors duel......Shoot!

At 3pm this past Friday the Sandlot Wiffleball Club met "unofficially" to conclude the Fall 2006 season. It was a brisk day but all true wiffleball faithfuls showed up to put on one more remarkable performance. The game ended in spectacular fashion with a close 11-10 win by the "Husky Hitter" captained team, but the day was more about the festivities and awards. Every member of the prestigious Sandlot Wiffleball team received an individual award, which variod from MVP, to Rock Paper Scissors Champ, to biggest Drunk Asshole Award. Unfortunately we did graduate some members to the hall of fame (Cole and Todd), but they were honored with the game balls. Get prepared for the spring season!!
