With a slow arrival to kid-friendly (not Clevelander-friendly, apparently) Montgomery Hills, the field was covered with a light snow. CHOMP appeared warmed up; whereas every individual Sludge arrival remarked the inconvenient truth that on April 7th, it was hat-&-glove (not short shorts) weather.
CHOMP bit off the first points until Sludge’s Zone D-frosted them. Sludge cooked up a 8-7 lead at half.
On a day calendared as “No Housework Day,” there was certainly lotsa hammering going on.
The other lotsa that was happening…CHOMP 2nd half binge of points. The game was both time- & point-capped; so if you blinked, the game was suddenly over at 11 points.
One final note of sportsmanship in this particular game. In JellyBelly’s potpourri of flavors, they offer one called “Buttered Popcorn.” IMO, it’s so wrong to offer such a nonconforming (OK, disgusting) flavor. Though, BP might leave a bad taste in your mouth; remember it’s only one flavor, and the rest of the bunch is usually sugary sweet.
Sludge’s 2nd winter league game of the spring season started immediately after the first game. Simultaneously, a flurry began to fall. The weather, like the flow of the game, was back & forth with Sludge predominantly up 1 point throughout the flurries-to-overcast game.
Absintheminded defended Sludge well by keeping the O on the sidelines which narrowed our playing field. Sludge’s usual weatherless play was indeed affected by the EASTER-ly wind creating lotsa turnovers.
Again Sludge was ahead 8-7. As quick as cherry blossoms lose their blossoms, Sludge was Passover-ed on the scoreboard, all the way to 15.
Much like the cold weather, Sludge losing 2 games in 1 day was unexpected. What to do, huh? Fuggetaboutit.

Hey I happen to love the "Buttered Popcorn" flavor, it's the bomb, really.
Buttered popcorn flavored jelly beans? That's so wrong.
