Following Wednesday's game, the acting Homer statistician discovered that this was the first game that Ron had missed this year and the first that Sue had missed since July 19, 1995. Really. Nevertheless, the Homers rolled to a huge 29 to 9 victory over the Radars, during which the Homers inflicted the mercy rule every inning and a double mercy rule in the last.

Kevin traded
The Ganinos/Jennings were ready to play the feud as Tony's mother, Sheila's
father visiting from Virginia, and Kona provided all the Homer spectators.
However, none of them made it to the post-game meal at Round Table, where
Richard subjected Jeff, Robb, Rich, and Scott to pictures of fuzzily naked
European women.
Thanks go out to the Schmidts for showing up to fill out our team and especially to Kevin for graciously playing for the Radars and providing the Homers with the defensive play of the day. After Kevin smoked a ball down the right-field line and tried to stretch his hit into a double, Jeff nailed his a** with a perfect, two-hop throw to second base. Robb also deserves a gold star for playing the first few innings until the game was secure on legs that were 67% gimpy.
David owned the big hit of the day, a solid 3-run home run to right center that was the ninth consecutive Homer hit to open the game. Other homers came from Richard (1 semi-legitimate & 1 chenbaalkian), Tony, and Rich, though almost everyone hit well.
The next Homers game is TODAY, field H2, against the Deep Space Cadets. The Homers look unstoppable, which means that we're probably most vulnerable about now.
