The Old Bugs continue their descent into last place with an uninspiring 20-12 loss to the D.L.� Bad Karma raised it�s ugly head when pitching star Bob Sparacino showed up with two right shoes, and no lefts! Newcomer Dave �Dirt Dog� DeLeon managed to injure himself for the second time in his two-game career. Manager Harold Soria showed up sometime in the bottom of the first inning. Two starters (Bill Minor and Randy Delgado) were nowhere to be found. Yet the patchwork fossils hung tough through 5 innings, only trailing 16-12 after 5.� The patchwork outfield Of Edgar Romero, Andrew Gozzo, Ed Johnson and Tom Corral did their best, but the statue-like Johnson was no match for the D.L.�s big hitters. (Although on one tumbling-diving-trainwreck catch by Johnson, Future Hall-of Famer Chuck Chapa was heard to exclaim �I think he caught it. Oh my god, call 9-1-1!. No wait; he�s getting up��).� Gozzo, the youngest of the old Bugs, required oxygen after the game, as he was covering half the outfield.
In the end, it was all for not.� The totally gassed old timers did not score after the 5th, and lost for the second straight week, this time by a 20-12 margin. But the game was not as close as the score indicated.
