MVP Humbled in Season Finale

A big thank you to James Loesch for his tremendous work over the past 2 weeks covering a pair of Brew Crew victories.

James is, however, too busy to write this recap as he left Sunday’s game almost immediately to host a reading of his New York Times Bestseller, “That’s Your Dad?: Softball, Sunday’s, and Life as Tom Loesch’s Son”, which hit the shelves early last week and is outpacing The Bible for copies sold in 2022.

A special guest was in attendance for the reading and, no, I’m not talking about the Bagas’ in-house counsel, who were quite adamant against Tom’s allegedly falsified statistics against them, I’m talking about Tom Verducci. Tom is an accomplished baseball journalist and he, like many others, found James’ story fascinating. Upon learning just one day before the book’s release, that he was the savior in an otherwise mediocre MVP performance made it all the more inspiring.

On that note, James, alongside Verducci, will be co-writing “One Too Many: The Shot That Ended Liquor Day” with a foreword by Bob Costas. This is an interesting decision as Costas is regarded as one of the earliest critics of his father, Tom, who found James’ story as more fuel to an already spirited hatred of Loesch’s style of play and parenting.

MVP Insider was able to get Costas on record regarding his sentiments towards Tom;

“All that’s missing from Loesch’s time as GM and a father was a blindfold and a cigarette.”

Bob Costas

Sheesh, even I’m not that bad towards, our new batting champion, Ryan James. Not thrilled about this.

The release is slated for early summer of 2024.

On to whatever that game was…

1st Inning:

Nothing happens.

2nd Inning:

MVP hands Dugouts 6 runs on silver platter and Rich yells at fielders (for good reason), addressed by GM.

3rd Inning:

MVP continues to suck, Dugouts add another.

4th Inning:

MVP finally scores 3 and then proceeds to allow 3 runs.

5th Inning:

Dugouts score 2 more.

6th Inning:

MVP finally wins in an inning; scores 3 and shuts out Dugouts.

7th Inning:

Back to our old ways giving up 2 on non-chalet outfield play and scoring nothing.

8th Inning:

Score 2, give up 2.

9th Inning:

MVP shows some spark with 4 spot, but fizzles out.

Final:

16-12 Dugouts.

You didn’t actually think I’d write anything nice for this game, did you? I have to go to Montauk, enjoy your Sunday.

Notables:

• MVP plays horrendous on Jersey Day
• Doesn’t warrant any notables
• James’ goatee looks great
• 1-Leg convinces GM to bat 12, not 14 in playoffs
• GM already made cuts
• Biemer and Cirincione hit like they want to be on postseason roster
• MVP to have practice Monday-Saturday 5-10 PM
• Rizz’s hot sister harasses GM, proceeds to homer
• Kristin Donnelly has quote of the season, calls Scott “Gerard”

MVP is scheduled to take on Sizzlin’ in Round 1 of the postseason. Whether or not the high school graduates even show up is a next Sunday problem. MVP is favored to win by every softball analyst with even the faintest of pulses, but, as we know, any given Sunday.
