Vegas Wiffle??? This Changes Everything.
Last week a new phenomena swept into the Wiffle world and things may never be the same. Faced with a low turn out, the hardcore crew of the Ox, El Guapo, The Unit, and Lonichiro introduced a twist to spice up the two on two game. The teams it was decided were to be the sluggers, Ox and Guapo, against The fireballing but unpredictable pair of the Unit and Lonich. The terms of play were laid out before the first pitch. The losers would pay the winners a dollar a run. The game commenced at around 4:00 PM and had been predetermined to be a day night double header, with a poker game being the night game. This combination is undoubtedly what sparked the idea for betting on the plastic, but the effect was stunning. The intensity of play for a two on two was electric. The teams were well matched and there was some sharply competitive attitudes that quickly rose to the surface. No stats were kept and the game turned into a pitchers duel of epic proportions. An example of intensity came after the Unit and the Lonster ran up a five run lead in the early going. Guapo took the mound and whisked a first strike past a stunned Lonichiro who was standing in the batters box, but not paying attention as he took his time getting ready. Guap just smiled like a fox and said, "What, you were in the batter's box."
Ox and Guap got back the five runs and a go-ahead sixth in the third inning as the Unit faltered and lost his command on the mound. But they could not hold the lead and let two more runs across in the course of the game. Lonichiro dominated from the mound in four shut out innings and with the late arriving help of Trip Atocha managed to stave off the hungry pair through nine in a riveting 7-6 finish that could change the way wiffle is played forever. By the way Ox still owes the unit fifty cents.
