Say Good Knight

Knights Fall
Thompsons Station

"That's bulls*%# " snapped Knights Manager and catcher Bill Gubbins as he was restrained by teammates following a second inning eruption reminiscent of George Brett's now famous dugout charge of years ago.

Gubbins explosion, fueled by the rare but deadly call of 'batting out of order', came in the second inning of a game that would eventually see the Knights give away a game that would have, could have, and should have been put in the books as a W.

"I take full responsibility for what happened with the lineup card tonight" said Gubbins following the game, "And, I promise it will never happen again!" added the still angry Gubbins as he slammed his Diet Pepsi against the dug out wall following the game.

Gubbins continued his post game rant, "I don't care what level of baseball you are playing, I don't care if it's Little League or the frickin Major Leagues, when your team scores 10 runs, you should win, it's that simple." Gubbins was of referring to the fact that despite scoring a season high 10 runs, the Knights kicked and booted the win away in part behind the 3 error night of 50 year old rookie Don Bernitt.

Bernitt's errors at second base, played a large part in the final outcome of the game. "You have to make the routine outs in order to win in this league and I didn't do that tonight" said Bernitt. "I'm better then that I look forward to making this up to my teammates."

Facing a quick turnaround, the Knights will have a chance to right their ship as they find themselves in the middle of a stretch that will have them play 3 games in 6 days. Up next, a Saturday afternoon tilt in Murfreesboro as the Knights look to get back into the winners column.

With June's summer temperatures on the rise, it is now becoming ever more clear that also on the rise are the expectations of the Knights, and all those who follow them as they their gallop through the Cumberland Valley Adult Baseball Association.

As the ole saying goes, the pitcher had but three pitches; Good Morning, Good Afternoon and Good Knight!
