What's with this Base Ball?

by Tom D'outin

President of the Literary and Oral Society of Elitist Readers
Study Room C, Boston Public Library

July 25, 2302

I take my early morning stroll through the cracked streets of Diamond City, from my apartment near Hangman’s Alley overlooking the newest opening of a Power Noodles franchise to the path toward my office inside the Boston Public Library. A typical winter day would be met with the quiet contemplation of life, but the summer. Oh, the summer.

Base ball fans are littering the path, talking nonsense of base ball and poetry. The demise! What would our literary greats of Boston think? They would be crestfallen to see such an abomination of leisure wasted not on reading or seeking books but on playing and observing this Neanderthalic barbarianism.

I cannot help but think Sylvia Plath’s first attempt at suicide was through her travels to Cincinnati. The red stockings of that foul city probably had her frothing and having permanent splotches of blood implanted into her mind. I too would leave this cruel world if forced to observe base ball constantly as my only pastime.

I could never imagine Robert Frost conducting poems of leather cylinders and wooden weapons. Would his “Birches” be supplanted by “Base Balls”? When I see base balls bend to left and right / Across the lines of straighter darker skyscrapers, / I like to think some boy's been swinging swatters. / But swinging doesn't bend base balls’ paths to stay / As rad-storms do. What splotch it would be! To imagine Frost as a pitcher for those Diamond City Swatters. What a life wasted! What unpoetry!

As the founding president of the Literary and Oral Society of Elitist Readers, I implore all you crude settlers of the Commonwealth to shut up kindly about base ball. Enjoy your Cuppa Joe and your Sugar Bombs buried quietly reading the tomes of history rather than chirping on at 7 AM about “runs” and “whiffs” and “steals.” You sound like a clattering of feral ghouls trying desperately to push body through door rather than simply turning the knob. Knobs, all of you. With your rounders and flies. Filth, I say. From raiders to plebes. De-evolution at its finest.

It may be hard to predict what happens exactly, but I would think that both Diamond City and Jamaica Plain are in a great position to take the SCA. I have a feeling that the SCA winner will take the championship.

Why not go ahead and predict what I think will happen?

At this point, I think it will be Diamond City over Fort Hagen in the Sole Survivor Series, 4 games to 2.

#5 Finch Farm Four Leafs vs #4 Starlight Lady Killers

Game 1: Finch Farm 6, Starlight 5

Shorthop Blasts Lady Killers, Four Leafs Take Game 1, 6-5

With shortstop Tib Shorthop leading the charge, the Finch Farm Four Leafs got a road win over the Starlight Lady Killers, 6-5, in Game 1 of the Play-in Series today. Shorthop went 3 for 3 with a home run, a triple, and 2 walks. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 at Valentine Detective Agency Field to help Finch Farm take a 1-0 lead in the best-of-3 series.

Finch Farm relied on the hitting of Matt Basile to pick up the win. The right fielder clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Four Leafs on top, 3-0. For the game, Basile had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Lady Killers manager Eric Bendure did not take questions after the game, telling assembled reporters that he would hold a press conference "if and when we win the Sole Survivor Series."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Valentine Detective Agency Field.

Game 2: Finch Farm 7, Starlight 5

Four Leafs Dominate, Sweep Play-in Series

It's a sweet sweep for the Finch Farm Four Leafs and they have won the Play-in Series. The Starlight Lady Killers were not able to keep pace with the Four Leafs and dropped the series in short order, losing 7-5 in the deciding game.

"This wasn't really the effort we hoped for," said Starlight manager Eric Bendure.

It's now on to the Association Semifinal for Finch Farm after their 2-0 series win.

Leading the way for the winners was right fielder Matt Basile, who was named MVP. For the series, Basile hit .750 with a .800 on-base percentage. He had 3 home runs, drove in 6 RBI and scored 3 runs.

The Finch Farm Four Leafs will play against the Nordhagen Beach Party Boys in the next round. Nordhagen Beach had a bye in the Play-in Series. The Association Semifinal schedule will be announced after the Play-in Series finishes.

#5 Atom Cats vs #4 University Point Deathclaws

Game 1: Atom 4, University Point 2, 10 inn.

Road Win Lifts Atom to 1-0 Lead in PiS

The Atom Cats slipped past the University Point Deathclaws by the score of 4-2 today at Gwinnett Brewery Park in the first game of the Play-in Series. Cats had to overcome a strong outing from Deathclaws starting left-hander Phlip Wallace, who threw 6.2 innings of 2-hit ball in the loss. With a 1-0 lead in the best-of-3 series, the Cats will have two chances to close out the Deathclaws.

Jeremy Schoolboy, the three-time All-Star, had a direct impact on the outcome. Schoolboy contributed a 2-run double in the top of the tenth inning to put Atom up, 4-2.

"Exciting game to play in," said Schoolboy. "Getting the win makes it even better."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Gwinnett Brewery Park at University Point.

Game 2: Atom 2, University Point 8

Cocoa, Deathclaws Wallop Cats in Game 2 of PiS

With first baseman Barker Cocoa leading the charge, the University Point Deathclaws defeated the visiting Atom Cats, 8-2, in Game 2 of the Play-in Series today. Cocoa was 2 for 3 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3 at Gwinnett Brewery Park to help University Point force a 1-1 tie in the best-of-3 series.

Cocoa came through for University Point with a run-scoring double in the bottom of the third. He hit a 2-2 curveball to right-center field, staking his team to a 3-2 lead.

Cocoa said his team "played with focus."

The next game is set to be played for Sunday, September 7th, 2302 at Coolest Field in Town at the Atom Cats Garage.

Game 3: University Point 2, Atom 1

Play-in Series Goes the Distance, University Point Prevails

When the entire season comes down to one game, Barker Cocoa said you find out what a team is really about.

As it turns out, the University Point Deathclaws are made of fight and tenacity, as the team got by the Atom Cats 2-1 tonight at Coolest Field in Town in order to win the Play-in Series and book a place in the next round.

"It wasn't hard to get excited for this game," said Cocoa, whose strong offensive output earned him MVP honors. "Our guys answered the call and proved a lot about what our team is all about."

Cocoa hit .600 with a .615 on-base percentage. He had 1 home runs, drove in 4 RBI and scored 2 runs.

The University Point Deathclaws will play against the Diamond City Swatters in the next round. Diamond City had a bye in the Play-in Series. The Association Semifinal schedule will be announced after the Play-in Series finishes.

A bit late on the prediction (work has gotten exponentially more busy for me lately too, but it might be paying off soon), so I feel kinda ehhh saying something after some games have been played, but I'm actually going to say Party Boys over Diamond City 4 to 2.

I was picking against the Boys because they had a big loss in Michael Fogcrawler, as well as Ryan Combs being lost for the season. Angelou may be their best player, but I believe Fogcrawler is their MVP.

Hope to simulate and post results for the second round this weekend.

I got contacted by a company to do some occasional consulting work for them at a ridiculous rate of $450 for a one-hour session. I am a busy man already, but who the hell passes up a $450 for one hour payday? Just warning you in case I disappear for an amount of time again following this weekend

Haha, well as we've seen from the story so far they just have big "They can't keep getting away with it" energy, so tbh maybe my prediction is secretly trying to jinx them!
