Let's not pussyfoot around here, Hammers - our dramatic, come from behind, upwind, game-tying point (very literally, at the buzzer) against our arch nemeses (as well as the subsequent Hammer to Sharky for the win) was the highlight of the day. Full stop. Frankly, it was a blur and I don't even remember who scored it - I was too busy screaming to the skies, tears streaming down my face, pee dribbling out of my shorts - to notice.
God, it was great.
I mean, sure, there were other highlights and noteworthy shit: Jeeves made a helluva diving/concussing catch in the endzone for our first (?) point of the day; we handled as a team against a frequently-employed cup probably better than we had all season; most of us played through leg, back, and bloody blistered foot injuries (our numbers were pretty scant by the final game); Chippy was chastised for being a little too touchy-feely (lol); and so on and so forth - all part of the mosaic of the day, that started with the aforementioned capital-V VICTORY.
Of course, we lost the next two games (11-5 and 13-8), the latter of which we came back to make it close, despite having one healthy sub still standing. There was a lot to be proud of (Scurvy was shocked that we were still upright), but nothing moreso than that first win. Everything else was gravy.
HUGE HUGE HUGE thanks to Sharky, Jen and Mike for coming out and enabling us to (i) field a team; and (ii) field a fucking GOOD team. Collectively, you win the Pulled Pork (heh heh) Taco w/ Amazing Fries Bag Of Hammers Players of the Day. Kisses!
Thanks also to everyone who picked up the camera to take pics today - epic results can be found at the tail end of this Flickr album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/muiseam/albums/72157620568162050. Actually, have a gander at the rest of the pics and see if you can't remember everyone's names back to 20-aught-whatever (and sorry I wasn't bright enough to bring it out earlier in the season, to get shots of the rest of y'all).
Congrats on another fun season, guys. I love you all.
