Welcome to This Week in Softball - The Match Game Edition!
What a fun night last night, eh? Perfect weather, great eats, tons of beers, picking our FFL draft order and Bean spoiling it all with a sick word (more on that later).
GRILLIN' WITH GUY FIERI

The Bush Pilots and FFL-ers in attendance ate great last night. A feast was grilled up by our man from The Food Network, Guy Fieri, and all was good. Actually, Guy Fieri wasn't there, but word is he is the cousin of a sales dude at Mitch and "K"ramer's company and in actuality, it was Guy "K"ramer who did the cooking, and did it quite well, we might add.
Bratwurts, cheesy dogs/brats and Rich's jalapeno/bacon/cheese burgers were taken down by the hungry masses. No one went hungry.

Nice job by all bringing chow and thanks again to our man "K"ramer and his Binford 9000 Tailgate Grill, for bitchin' up the food for us.

GENE RAYBURN VS. RYAN RABURN
During the mandatory Detroit Tigers discussion last night, the topic of Brandon Inge was brought up (as it always is). Most hate the .198 hitting, third baseman, but those who like him (Dennis) tend to think of him in loving terms as if he were a puppy or teddy bear. Its sad, this love of Ingie, but we here at TWIS digress.

As we moved on from Inge, the topic changed to Ryan Raburn, the Tigers other, shitty hitting player. Raburn is fast becoming "The New Inge" in the minds of many and is getting to a most-hated, status. He did jack a home run last night leading the Tigers over the Royals. Anyhow, The Raburn Saga prompted a few Bush Pilots to remark that Gene Rayburn (of The Match Game fame) would be a better Rayburn for the Tigers, despite him being dead for 11 years. Rock on, Gene Rayburn. We here at TWIS loved The Match Game whilst growing up in the 70s. He rocked the long-ass, microphone and used to hit on that ugly chick, Bret Somers whle making fun of the homo, Charles Nelson Riley.

GO BLUE!
We'd like to give a Bush Pilots should out/welcome to Dorian Taylor (he works at the same place as Mitchy/"K"ramer), who joined us in the festivities last night. Dorian is a former UofM football player and a good dude. Dorian, we thank you for the beer. The team drank hard last night and that last case put many in the overserved category. Reports are still coming in of hangovers.

FELCH
This leads us to the conclusion of our evening. Our man Bean, back in the saddle in the Fella's Fantasy Football League, was mulling over his team name. You see, year's ago, Bean called his team, "Smegma", which was quite a grin for all -- except Mitchy. You see, Mitchy had no idea what "smegma" was. After consulting the internets and finding out that it was, well, simply put, "dick cheese", he became ill at the thought of Bean's name.
Fast-forward to last night and Bean announced he might name his team "Felch". Now, Team Bush knows our smegma, but we don't know our felch. Proc surfed the 'nets and sure enough, it is yet another sick term. So sick, in fact, that we here at TWIS (and we nasty bastards in our own right), refuse to publish the dictionary meaning of this word.
However, we do suggest you click this link and find out for yourself: FELCH
So people, keep enjoying the summer. Yes, we miss softball (well, some of us do), but the two parties we've had have been a blast. Maybe we might even have our once a year T.C. sighting before the summer is over.
Rock on. Keep summer going...
