Lemonheads at Unhinged Wahoos

Game One – Wahoos win 3-0. Jon Lester fires a rare complete game shut out. His ERA is fatter than big fat Pedro Alvarez. The Internet cracked in half as Lester twirled the gem. Manager Bake McBride credits nothing to Lester yet. Tough love for Lester who had been pounded all year prior. Encarnacion launches a two-run bomb and big fat Pedro Alvarez sent one to the moon for a one-run shot. Heads managed four hits for obvious free mason and Tom Selleck look alike Matt Shoemaker….

 

Game 2 Wahoos over heads 12-1. Kluber gets it done giving up four hits and striking out 11 but coughing up a bomb to JD Martinez blowing his chances at a complete game shut out. He did get the complete game. Arenado slashed a two-run triple and Gattis went three for three with two walks, a single, a double and a grand salami. Baby miggy Avasail Garcia sailed a two-run shot out as well.

 

Game three heads over Wahoos 6-4. In a game where a fine young woman kept appearing on the jumbo tron over and over and a cat ran amok on the field, manager Bake McBride did all he could to keep his team focused and not looking at women and cats. With the Heads cruising, up 5-1 after six, the Wahoos stormed back in the 7th to make it 5-4. In the 9th, Longtime Wahoo Tyler Clippard walked Yan “can cook” Gomes and watched as Sandoval and Loney singled to score Yan. The Wahoos go quietly in the ninth as future Wahoo Marcus stroman picks up the win.

 

Wahoos now 28-21.
