Freddys v. O'Connors... a tradition unlike any other.

Subject: Freddys v. O'Connors... a tradition unlike any other.

That's right, folks. This weekend will see the revivification of the dozens-of-months-old blood... ok, well, beer... feud between those sultans of swat, the Home Heating Oil Gang, the Ratnerville Nine, Freddys, and those dastardly layabout goldbricking nogoodnik theiving gypsy bandits, O'Connors.

Who will take home the coveted Blue Bra? Who will capture the crucial first game of the summer classic? Who will manage to play outfield with a beer in one hand in a cigarette in the other? Who will O'Connors dig up from local high schools to play for them this year? All will be revealed this Sunday!

  • I wonder if OCs accepted the challenge sent over last night!?! It was a good one and it might have scared them away. After last season.. who would blame them?
  • That's it........i'm going to O'Connors tonight to talk to Bart about getting on the team.
  • The game is this Sunday? What part of the park?
  • It will be on any ball field that is open. Games are supposed to be at 4PM.. but it kind of depends on when everyone (OCs) show up. Look for all the red Freddy's shirts!
  • The game got off to an awkward start when freddy's was forced to play as the visiting team even though we were all in our (red) home team jerseys. some of the team was also still suffering from the lingering effects of the previous evening's guac-off, a mega battle royale between competing guacomole preparers, at freddy's team captain pat o'shea's abode. freddy's bartender matthew k. was heard to exclaim, for no particular reason, "god, i like beer."

    oc's manager, bart, made a bold strategic move by shifting his best player, troy, from center field to short stop. even though it was reminiscent of the move made by '68 detroit tigers manager mayo smith when he shifted his center fielder, mickey stanley, to short stop just before the world series against st. louis, the results were less favorable. the freddy's bats pounded oc's ace, motor car driving school "senor smoke" kenny, and troy was missed in center field as rookie sensation and game mvp, patrick, delivered two mighty blasts to right center. They were both inside the park home runs, even though they came perilously close to dog beach. the freddy's alien made an appearance and did a little dance.

    The final score was 13- 8, as freddy's continued their dominance over the hapless and disspirited oc's crew. manager bart threatened major line-up changes if his veterans could not produce a victory soon. "we've got some good younger players coming up through our system. in five more years they'll be able to drink in the bar, and then i can promise some changes."
  • Did Tony Balls play for the OC team?
  • not sure. if he was it was under an alias like tony soft balls.
  • hahaha.........no, unfortunately I didnt play. Saturday I went on a wiffle-ball induced beer and barbecue bender that resulted in me being in poor shape yesterday. I wish I could have played. I would have loved the opportunity to represent O'Connors, and the mightiest of bartenders: BART.
  • bart is great and O'C's needs your help. next game should be in 2 or 3 weeks.
  • really??? I thought they only played one game a year? If there's another, i'm there. As long as it's not the weekend of the 20th.
  • there will definitely be another game. i think last year the two teams played 4 or 5 times.
  • Just to round out the excellent reportage of monsieur bill c... many a yachtsman was hoist in celebration of the victorious Freddys side well into Monday morning.
