Ben erupts, Dazzlers stay cool: fun and always kissing

Dazzlers failed to hold on to a 3 run lead going in to the bottom of the 7th but another good night at the plate. An explosive night not just with the bat, as Ben ends his short-lived , and indeed short-fuse Dazzler career. But, enough of that: "despite the bitchin' and moanin', and comins' and goins' (and tantrum throwins'), and ups and downs, and occasional heavy frowns, of last night's three ring circus of a lollapalooza of a game, [a very excitable Simon] really enjoyed it (even at the end, squinting Lollapaloozathrough the rapidly falling dusk, hundreds of miles from home plate, watching them round the bases and waiting for the next long distance missile to come off one of their bats....)"

The imperturbable Timmo adds sagely: "We are in the 4th division, aka the fun league and I'd like us to start living up to that.  Last night, members of Oblivion joined our table because they felt we were having more fun than their very quiet team (I blame Karen and all that kissing).  That's how I'd like the Dazzlers to be known, fun and always kissing!"
