GM Earns Record 3rd Batting Title in Win

On a day where MVP’s lineup was longer than most Black Friday shopping queues, it would take all MVP had to get to the 9th ahead. If you’re shocked by how close this game was and can’t stand the thought of another Stoner fiasco, here’s the recap:

• GM’s “Get Game Over With” Lineup a little too good; MVP wins by 1
• James makes debut, whiffs on first two swings; estranged father K’s 3
• 1-Leg nearly breaks his leg because of Ev
• GM goes to short for 1st time all year, boots, kicks, and mauls first grounder to him
• Handsome Alex Bettenhauser wins batting title
• MVP to play through the High School in postseason

This game didn’t mean shit and, yet, we all came. Despite not having a clear picture has to which field the game would be played on, we knew, at the very least, it would not be the track field. After realizing at 9:20 not a soul from other teams in the league was at the high school and after getting approval from Scott to play there to avoid really any other field in this league, the guys could use the field. The only catch? Done by 11?

Deal.

After 3 innings, MVP had less hits than the Stoners runs and the GM had more outfield assists for the Stoners than Brew Crew. Nobody could hit and it was clear the “Get the Game Over With” lineup was working a little too effectively. The GM knew he was good, but this good?

Eventually, MVP figured out how to play softball and started to piece on runs that closed and ultimately surpassed the 7-1 deficit they faced at one point. The game was reminiscent of years past when top-seeded MVP nearly was eliminated by the winless Stoners. A game that forever stained the Loesch era.

Concerns aside, MVP was able to put the game to bed, albeit, a little too close for comfort.

FINAL: MVP 11-10

Blog isn’t over.

Ryan James, you don’t get let off quite this easily.

For those who caught a glimpse of ESPN’s First Take this AM, you’ll probably have heard Stephen A. Smith’s comments this morning about MVP’s Alex Bettenhauser securing his franchise record 3rd batting title award, breaking his tie with MVP legends, John Cirincione and Dave Wynkoop who both sent their best regards to the GM on his quest for MVP greatness.

You know what was really funny about that list? Ryan James isn’t on it. Ryan and his sole cupcake batting title are stuck their with names that I swear were made up by Loesch like Walter “Skip” Amadio and Frankie “Flash” Cutinella. What’s really too bad for Ryan is that, in the years past, he could’ve done what he did and won the batting title.

In fact, he hit the EXACT SAME as he did last year when he did. He does the same thing every year. He plays one real game, that we always lose btw (i.e. the Bagas in ’22 and Boys in ’23), then plays against the Stoners and, before you know it, Ryan James being godlike murmurs arise. Ryan James is a fraud and this year is all the proof MVP Insider needed.

The failure to raise the AB Minimum to qualify for a batting title was an oversight on previous management and that is why, after one year of credibility, the new GM increased the minimum to reward those who show up consistently throughout the season. I mean for god’s sake, Keith asked what Ryan even looked like.

Ryan James, has, however, graciously invited the entire team over as well as their extended families to his home to celebrate Alex Bettenhauser’s franchise record 3rd batting title. No need to bring anything except for the children as all expenses are paid and an open bar will be at the scene. Ryan totally agreed to all of this.

Well, Ryan. It appears there’s a new sheriff in this town.

Yee Haw.
