Brass Monkeyz Lose in Final, Friends Become Foes

The Brass Monkeyz Old School team took to the field over the last several weeks with intentions of defending last year’s championship. In the quarter finals, with both offence and defense firing on all cylinders the Brass Monkeyz made quick work of the Pharm Team beating them 10–4. In the semis, the Monkeyz squeaked out a win against the Bandits in extra innings with Christian “The Clootch” Cloutier providing the heroics in the last inning (he was sitting at the time). That created the match up between the 12–0 powerhouse Northern Pikes and the 6–6 Brass Monkeyz Old School.

Now, looking at baseball from the Bull Durham perspective “Baseball is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, and you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, and sometimes it rains.” In the final, the Brass Monkeyz could have used some rain because the Northern Pikes took the best of three series 2–0. Although there wasn’t any rain, the Monkeyz clearly had trouble throwing, catching and hitting the ball all night. This prompted Kory “The Ringer” Goulais to exclaim “There’s no crying in baseball!” as Clootch was sobbing in the corner of the dugout. On a whole, the Monkeyz were happy with the result of their season and look forward to getting back in the mix next season.

On another note, Consilium Consultant "The Clootch" and Stonecircle Researcher Kory Goulais turn their attention back to the field tonight as the two players battle it out for their respective teams. Whilst Cloutier and Goulais play as teammates for the Old School Brass Monkeyz team, they play in a different league as opponents. The Brass Monkeyz Original team is playing host to Goulais’ Urban Thunder team in the semi-finals. Urban Thunder leads the series 1–0 after putting the hammer down in the first game winning 10–4. When Goulais was asked about the series he indicated “As long as we hit the ball to Clootch, we should be alright.” This prompted Clootch to rebuttal with “I play the outfield, I don’t think Kory knows where that is.”

Hold on tight, this one could get interesting!
