Tough Call by: The Commish

The summer season is in full swing and its been a smooth but thus far a relatively quiet season. We've had a few upsets, a few new faces and of course a bit of rain...but the real story this season has been the emergence of Jon Macy as one of the leagues premier umpires. In his first week of umping Jon "New Blue" Macy hit the DC CityBall Umpire bi-fecta (that's mine-don't use it) when he umped the fastest game in DC CityBall history (48 minutes) and received a formal complaint from Stiff Competition (a rite of passage for any new umpire). He even managed to one-ump (that's mine also) some of his fellow umps by starting all of his games on time and finishing them within the 75 minute mark. Not a great way to endear yourself to your fellow umpires, but certainly a great way to impress the commissioner and move up a spot or two in the power-rankings. If he was a drinker I would have bought him a beer, but since he adheres to a strict all-green diet to keep in shape it was just a 16 oz. bottle of Kambucha.

I was going to write detailed recaps of all the games, but my commissioning duties are needed elsewhere- just know that some teams won, others lost and at least one went to the wrong bar. As we enter the 3rd week of the season I want to congratulate The Pour Howzers, Bayside Tigers, Swingers, Sharks, Hot Stovers, Stiff Competition and The Ligers for being undefeated and looking great this season. Good luck to all teams this Sunday and please remember that at DC CityBall-nobody ever has to play in lightning.
