Muhfuggers Takes it Up the Middle

The Muhfuggers returned from a two week layoff and lost in a much anticipated game against Ferdinand Karandang's Up the Middle team, 7-14.

The Muhfuggers had four girls call in to say they were unable to play causing panic with the coaches to try and replace them.

Muhfuggers - 4 2 0 0 1 - 7

Up the Middle - 2 3 3 6 - 14

A somber pitcher and pride of Mexico, Leeonel Pena, pitched only two innings due to soreness in his elbow .

The game was pretty close. Pitcher Leeonel Pena started and pitched two innings and kept UTM batters at bay. Leeonel's arm was bothering him, so relief pitcher Eric E. came in for an inning. In the fourth inning, coach Rico Rivas wanted to try his hand at pitching. The Up The Middle batters must have woke up, because they scored six innings on the MFs!!

"It was a pretty close game until the fourth inning!! Who the f*ck put the third pitcher in!!" said coach and Pride of Mexico runner-up Pedro "Puppet" Frias

Coach Frias

Even though the Muhfuggers could not catch up to Up the Middle in the later innings, current and former Poi Pounders Leeonel Pena and Pedro Frias still said they had more fun losing in this game than if they played in a Poi Pounder game where they always kick everybody's ass!!

The Muhfuggers were short handed on girl players. Tammy Cobb, Ana Guttierrez, Aileen Aranda and Leslie Castellano wrote/called in to the team coaches to say they were unavailable to play in tonite's game.

OMG!! Four players?? The coaching staff scrambled to contact subs Sarah Ahrendes and Precious Albright. However, no replies came in from either sub, not even the emergency subs were available.

Charlie, the "Ultimate Human Speciman", came through and brought in a female ringer player named Ronica.

Ahhh, one more. One more girl to get the maximum 4 girls to play. Who else?? More calls went out. Ceez called up former Poi Pounders, but most was not available. Everybody but long time retired Poi Pounder, Arlene Dizon. "Oh boy! I would love to. But you know I can’t play for real."

Everything was set. However, on the way to the game, Pedro called in to say that his lady love, Leslie was ill and was not able to play. Ay muy chingon!! We were short one more female player. Where the heck are we going to get another player on such short notice?

They had to only look to the empty stands to find a young woman with a cup of beer in her hand. Blanquita!! Although the MFs could have legally played with only three girls, Blanquita was asked to play. We figured we may need help in the outfield and maybe a fourth girl might save the other girls from going up to bat a million times.
