Father time saves Skinny Teets from having to cater an entire Falcons pizza night as the WMSPL mandated 85 minute time limit wiped out the top of the seventh inning in an embarrassing 22-11 loss to Xtreme in the penultimate game of the regular season.Striding to the plate in the top of the seventh after Big Cat had flown out to Ackford for the third time in the game, Skinny Teets popped up to the pitcher. Instead of, you know, running or something, Teets just stood there, looking at it. And he stood there for a while, because it spent a long time in the air. Eventually, it came down in the glove of Xtreme pitcher Cito, but he was unable to corral it. "It's OK, it'll just roll foul. Another life!" likely thought Teets. Brain farts are a funny thing, but he obviously forgot that if a player touches the ball in fair territory, it's fair. Teets remained planted firmly in the batter's box as the catcher picked up the still-fair-ball from foul territory, and tagged Teets out.
This was a perfect metaphor for the last 11 Falcons games, of which the team has only won 2. They've been outscored 197-139 (-58) over that span. The Falcons had won 7 straight prior to that.
Dinner, Goliath and Direct's Tyler went deep for the Falcons in the losing cause. Thanks for contributing, Tyler!
SLF also hit a home run, this one an inside-the-park job. "No it wasn't," you say. "Yes it was," he says back. When you tell the story, is anyone going to believe the normally rock-solid Xtreme defence suddenly devolved to Ringling Bros? Of course they won't. Do you award RBIs for a bases empty single and at least 6 bases worth of errors? No you don't. Inside-the-park home run, said and done.
The Falcons have gone way beyond "backing into the playoffs". They've full-on flown FALCONS1 right into the side of Playoffs Mountain, and the wreckage is strewn about. No one's sending the rescue unit, because when the Falcons lose, the rest of the teams in the league LOVE their schadenfreude.
Next Up For The Falcons: Fan appreciation night is Wednesday September 9, for our season finale at 9:30 hosting Greenthumb on K1. Free beer for any in attendance! (Falcons fans only, Todd)
Pregame Checklist:
Enough players to field a team? 
Bats?Scoresheet?Cycle Watch: The last time a Falcon hit for the cycle was May 19, 2010. Never mind.
Game Notes: The time limit cost Dinner a base hit... At least the Jays won... With over two weeks until the playoff start, the Falcons had better get some practice in...

Brain farts are best done in epic style.

What brand of free beer?

Well, if Ash's post game imbibing is any indication, it'll be that liquid estrogen in a can: Palm Bay.

The Falcons are currently 15-1 to win the WMSPL championship.
I haven't seen Falcons odds that long since 2012 when the Falcons had a record of 17-18-3. (Fun Fact: they were 12-1 odds that year).

Funny i thought Tyler's home run was a 3 run shot...funny only 2 RBIs. Guess he has to give former el presidente the rbi to count in his totals

Post the score sheet then! That'll prove it!
Posted by: Propaganda Killa
OK, Mr. Ballsy Anonymous,
Score sheet is posted. Look closely:
Mike lead off the 6th inning with a double.
Jeremy grounded out to second, advancing Mike to third in the process.
Dave grounded out to short. Mike, unlike what Jeremy would do, stayed put at third so as not to get thrown out at home.
Jerry hit a single to score Mike. 1 RBI
Tyler comes up with Jerry on first. Dinger.
1 + 1 = 2.
Why do you want to steal RBIs from Jerry? Oh yeah, because you're some kind of internet troll hiding behind the Anonymous name.

After the most recent online exchange between SLF and Tim Riggins, many sportsbooks have further downgraded the Falcons to 17-1 odds to win the WMSPL championships.
Are the Sportsbooks trolling SLF? Baiting him into a "Watch Me Put My Money Where My Keyboard Is" moment where he puts the college savings accounts of all 12 of hi skids on the Falcons to win WMSPL Championship. This is higher drama than any episode of Gilmore Girls, more tantalizing than Gowan singing "Moonlight Desires"......
