Game Preview: 6/21 vs. Exide Supercranks

After a blazing 3-0 start, the Meatballers are being referred to as the "firecrotchs" of this league (unnamed source). With the team hitting on all three cylinders, youngster Steven "My pubes are reddish-blond" Christensen piped in at a team meeting early Friday morning.

"Anyone know where the toilet is?" said the youngster. Word around the watermelon is that Christensen had a triple baconator Thursday evening, but these reports have not been confirmed.

In the Exide Supercranks, the Meatballers will play their 3 year nemesis, against whom they have a record of 0-47-1 (the tie is still disputed between the squads as former Meatballer Shannon Harcourt had to have sex with half of the Supercranks to achieve this feat.) Coach/Fat GM Marc Russo, however, believes this time may be different.

"We've got some quality youngsters on this squad now. With Pardue and Quirk there in the infield, we may have the makings of an all star lineup. That and the fact that Johnston is no longer behind the plate and rarely getting to touch the ball all add up to an equation that could equal victory. Not sure though. That Russo kid really stinks."

In other news, GM Meatball has revealed that upper management is still unhappy with the contract status of Brad "Hairy Asscrack" Kovacik.

"We don't like the guy," said GM Russo, "and quite frankly, are exploring trade rumors with anyone that will come calling." It is believed that Russo has already received one trade offer from, of all teams, the Supercranks - for a half eaten bag of pistachios and a Dr. Pepper.

"I am not going to comment on that at this time," said Russo. Either way, it seems as if Kovacik and his overinflated contract could be on their way out. A cheaper, less hairy option has made himself available in the form of one Kurt Aschermann (Oscar). Although Aschermann tends to strike out and fall down on average 1.3 times per game, management is high on his half gray, half black facial hair.

"Kid can grow a goutee," said Russo. Where this goes, noone knows, but Aschermann will be filling in this coming Monday - and believe this reporter when he says a solid performance out of that youngster could land him a permanent callup from Triple A and mean the end of Kovacik and his stinkyness.

Final Score Prediction: Meatballers 10, Supercranks 9.

Over/Under on Walks by Christensen: 4
