Game wrap

The Weaselhawks eked out another close defeat: 16-22. After our sub-victory lap through the Cedar Inn, out of nowhere the AC/DC started pumping and Joe "Remi" Shindelar got a little crazy.

More post-game action

We'd been to Psycho Suzy's plenty, so we opted for Craig's mom's bathtub.

In case you missed it

Post-game highlights:

Jesse Ventura - Baby Seal? SEAL? Weaselhawk?

Nice wrap-up on the KFAI Cougars game, Katy. A reminder to all 'Hawks -- there's plenty of room here to add your two cents' worth; bring it. And, kudos again to Katy ... after a couple of weeks of technical snafus, she's totally hitting stride with her new duties as Official Weaselhawks  Photographer. See the magic here:


Didn't we have fun getting slapped around like a bunch of baby seals? Diapers were changed. Bubbles were blown. Runs were scored (sorry, no photograhic proof of that); Jerky was munched. It was a nice Tuesday night out and about in Nordeast.

Boldface mention for the Apple Valley-Lakeville /Milwaukee/Amsterdam long-time fan of the Weaselhawks Matt Nelson for showing up. At the bar. Maybe he'll actually make it to a game while he's scouting talent. And it was a pleasure to see Weaselhawks supporter Jamie McLaughlin ("Weasel-whos?") at Psycho Suzies.

Fashion report: Katherine Lamb is rocking the killer plaid (?Madras? ?Chennai-influence? ?Northshore Vernacular?) hat consistently this year;  bluejeans are back in style; I saw not even one "red heather" shirt on the field. No pinstripes. Mesh is always in style on the diamond. Nice green on white King Korn. Was Holly S. wearing red Crocs? I'll bet Rey was wearing orange Crocs. Maybe someday Billy Cunningham will do a photo essay on the Weaselhawks.

"I'm only Coaching, not playing" Natalie Schaffer again filled in critical gaps with field and plate appearances, ...and, finally ... congrats to Dave and Nancy Stieber on the newest addition to their family: 2029 Weaselhawks recruit  Jordan Eleanore Steiber.

Plenty of baby seals around

After a close scrimmage in April, the KFAI Cougars started their juicing regime and came back to whomp on the poor little Weaselhawks 20-4... 

One S. Nassif declared "We should rename the team the Baby Seals since everyone likes clubbing us to death." That same Nassif gave a gallant try playing 3rd base for the first time, as did new player Oona (that's OH-na). Tryouts for permanent 3rd base position will be next week.

While the Weaselhawks weren't so strong in actual game play, they made up for it in actual drinking. Psycho Suzie's was up first with some good old fashion pizza (sausage for J. Nassif please, no black olives or mushrooms for J. Parker), red rockets, pickle roll ups and BEER. Next up was Stasius (spelling anyone?) for some competitive fooseball and more beer. Then a long ride home for J. Parker and rumor has it that C. Phillips and W. Siasoco made it out to Grumpy's for a nightcap. 

I think that's it. All I can say is that if the Weaselhawks were half as serious at softball as they were at fooseball, then we might not have to be baby seals anymore. Just a thought...
