NOTES FROM UNDER THE BLUE HAT

 

 

 

 

INTRO:    Today is 6-1-1.  Can you believe that? Lets see what’s in the mailbag! 

 

MAILBAG:     This letter comes to me from Carl Buchin on 5-31-1:  Hey Matt, before the game today I’m going to cause a huge accident on 5 mile road to delay the other team and we can score a quick victory.  We can’t keep relying on you to carry the team through the whole season.  You’re our dinger man, golden glove in the outfield, and I just wish I could be more like you.  Anyway, later, Carl

                       

Thanks Carl, you’re the best.  Indeed the forces of Carl kept away several of the other team members and we scored ourselves a quick and cheap victory.  Remember though, they don’t ask HOW you win, they ask IF you win.

 

PLAYER NEWS: 

                        Jimmy “airwolf” Moore’s where abouts were unknown this week.  Jimmy is usually with the team, but I heard he was on a 48-hour Gold’s Gym binge while eating only sushi and not taking bathroom breaks.  We don’t know how he does it and we don’t want to know.  This young rookie is HUGE!

 

                        Tim Orow still owns 24 house cats, a lynx, and another little rodent with no hair on it.  Luckily Tim was not sent to St. Louis at the last minute and was able to be with the team for our scrimmage.  In honor of his cats, Tim hit well, ran the bases, stopped to take a break between 2nd and 3rd, ran some more and scored.

 

One member of the Krimm family was on hand for the game this week.  Scotti too hotti Krimm performed very well and had a lot of fun Thursday.  Not even Scott knows where the “Brothers of Destruction” Jason and Damian Krimm have disappeared to although they were spotted days earlier in a bar in Plymouth by Peetage big gun Carl Buchin.

 

Coach Casey O’Neil was at the game also after missing last week’s game to a massive diarrhea infection.  His butt problems have cleared up and he was back in action this week.  Letting everyone rotate and play several positions was a lot of fun.

 

Jason Buntine is one dirty SOB.  Once the other team needed players he ran to the other bench as fast as he could.  Not because he likes helping people but because he secretly wanted to slide into Philippe spikes up and take him out of action.  Betrayal is one thing, but having such anger that only runs through the veins of Carl is something that should be rewarded.  He’s the most brutal, vicious, and most ruthless champion ever!

 

Matt Marken played with a severe case of lupus Thursday night.  Even though the game didn’t count he gave it his all.  The doctors are pumping him so full of pills that while trying to play left field he busted into a one-man rendition of the 80’s cartoon theme of Fraggle Rock while spinning in circles in foul territory.  This guy needs help.

 

Carl Buchin returned to action this week as well.  Number 23 is pumping up the guns and can’t wait to take on Homoz.com next week.  Click on NEWS under the HOME link and read all about our next opponents.  If anyone would like to see a bald picture of Carl Buchin from his dark past, go to http://www.emich.edu/public/hockey/team9900.html.  Before he kills me for doing this I would like to say it was a pleasure playing ball with everyone this season and I’ll miss you all.  See you on the other side.

 

Mike “Did you hear the one about…” O’Neil pitched a few innings for the team and was a hoot to have on the bench.  Inquire about his joke of the week.

 

Anthony “thelastword” Ciatti accompanied by his raging lover Ryan had a great time at the game with Ryan working 2B for the other team.  Both men bring a lethal dose of attitude and mystery to the plate.  We don’t know much about Ryan yet but he seems to fit in well in the Peetage family.

 

By the way, Philippe accompanied by his wife and little Sam were at the game.  As you can see in the team photo, little Samantha is a future fan of the week.

 

Also “Fire Marshall” Bill Marken played almost every position on the field.  The ball seemed to find its way to him in each inning.  Those old people in the bleachers didn’t just wander to the field to watch Peetage in action.  They were actually the 76-year-old parents of Peetage member Bill Marken.

 

Tim “Bottoms up” Marken turns 19 on June 3rd.  Let’s pray that this jabroni doesn’t O.D. in Canada.  He was also missing in action this week.  He was working out with his former cellmate Mike.

 

NUMBER 69 Jim Bradow represents all that is right and good in the world.  Our third baseman had some great hits and was a lot of fun as usual

 

 

PEETAGE SURVEY:  Right now 63% of our fans want Carl to show the guns.  He can’t deny the fans what they want any longer.  I have the feeling the guns may bust out at any time.  Once again that link for Carl’s big bald head is http://www.emich.edu/public/hockey/team9900.html.  I’m so totally asking for a beating.

 

CONFIRMED PEETAGE RUMORS: As this is being written, Peetage coach Casey OOOOOOOh yeah is on the phone with Chicago Emily.  They are working out the dates for the shooting of the Peetage movie/documentary and are going over details she needs for her film class.  Depending on everyone’s schedule we’ll see how this goes.  I’m sure it will prove to be a lot of fun.

 

                                             Rumors that Tim Orow would be traded to St. Louis or Argentina are true.  Fortunately he couldn’t get anyone to house sit and watch over his zoo so he played with us this week.  Let’s hope we can sign Tim and have him on a permanent basis.

 

                                             Rumors that Philippe’s baby Samantha was hit with a baseball bat are true.  She got a little too close to the action and one Peetage member accidentally made contact with her little face.  But a fearless Peetage girl she is, and with the spirit of Carl in the air, she sucked it up and didn’t cry.  What a trooper!

 

 

MOJO:     Mojo doesn’t come to any forfeits I guess.

 

 

WWF NEWS:  Grand Master Sexy stopped at the Calgary International

Airport at which time they found, one-tenth of a gram of methamphetamine,

one-tenth of a gram of marijuana and half a gram of cocaine. However, even with

the charges dismissed, Christopher will not be welcome back into the WWF anytime

soon.  Jason Buntine has recently ordered a too cool shirt.

Lita is hot.

 

FAN OF THE WEEK:  Our fan of the week is Max and Laurel Marken.  They were mentioned earlier as those old people in the crowd.  Coach Casey and Max go way back.  They were involved in the tiger game/awkward-belching incident a few years ago.  (Inquire by email).  We thank you and all our great fans!  You’re what really makes Peetage work.

 

Where are they now?:  Since leaving the Peetage roster, Brad McDonald has been found face down in the gutter.  He hit rock bottom after leaving the team.  The Peetage success went to his head and unfortunately he couldn’t handle it.  We wish him well.

 

                                    Matt Ritzler shoots people in the city of Pittsfield.  Rumor has it he gets a tattoo every time he knocks someone off.

 

                                    Kyle Galan is still flipping burgers somewhere.

 

                                    Randy Dell’s where abouts is still unknown

 

                                    Lorne’s back pain has finally heeled although he will not be coming back to the team anytime soon.  Apparently we forgot all about him and the new players have no idea who he is.

                                   

                                    Gary still rules and he’s still working on computers and flipping burgers at Laurel Park.

 

                                    Machine Gun Craig Kelly and where is he now?  That’s a good question.  The team was excited when they heard “Gunner” as we called him, was returning for our previous game because several Peetage members were out of action.  It turns out that that was a cruel hoax by his angry wife Linda “poopers” Kelly.

 

                                    Jeff Wade has been fired from the children’s show Barney.  While shooting a live show Jeff was fired because the director said, “Trees don’t dance around and sing I wanna rock.”

 

                                    For those who remember him, Collette Peetage member Jeff Ellsworth is studying forestry at Michigan Tech.

 

                                    Scott Matuisky who purposely thew a Peetage game is still holder of the bogart award.

 

Random crap:               *61 the movie was reviewed by several Peetage members.  It seems that only Casey’s legs and Matts arm made it into the movie.  Matt’s major “walking down the isle and being seated by an usher” scene was cut.

 

                                    Also, Chicago Emily and her boyfriend Dave will be spending a weekend here in Detroit rock city.  They will come to our game to shoot the scenes she needs for her class and hang out with the Peetage crue.
