The Good Guys embarked on their next road trip. Things did not begin well, as, after squeaking out an opening game 4-3 win in New York, the Mets proceeded to blow the Good Guys out in the next two games. The Paradise Islanders then went to Atlanta, and won two of out of three, and then to Houston, and won two of three, to finish with a winning road trip. They returned home, on a Sunday night, to begin a nine game homestand, against the teams from the midwest.
When Mitch arrived home, on Sunday night, Naomi was there waiting for him, as always. The Good Guys, in spite of the winning road trip, arrived in Paradise a very tired team, and had to recharge their batteries, to prepare to open the nine game homestand, against Pittsburgh, the next night. After a quick dinner out, Mitch spent most of Sunday night making love to, and resting with, Naomi. He was hopeful that a restful night would help him gain strength for the game the next night.
The following day, Mitch, in need of a pick me up, spent four hours at the casino, eating, gambling, using the health faclilites, and getting a massage. He was still not at 100%, and had a feeling that his teammates weren't either.
That night, the Good Guys took the field against the Pirates, on a warm, humid night, in front of a gathering of about 30,000, who cheered enthusiastically, to welcome their heroes home. The cheers quickly turned to boos, as Kate Hudson got hammered in the opening inning, getting lit up for five runs, and three homers, being chased after less than one inning, to a chorus of boos. The normally volcanic Good Guys offense could do nothing, getting only a meaningless solo homer in the ninth, which was hardly enough, to prevent a 6-1 loss. After the game, before speaking to the media, Good Guy manager Sniderman had a fifteen minute tirade at his team, for essentially "mailing the game in". "It's bad enough that we stink on the road at times! We had to have a game like this at home, in the first game of a homestand, no less! Our ace is on the mound, and she gets lit up, and we get one fucking run of offense!? What the fuck is that!? I'm glad you fuckers got booed tonight! What a disgraceful effort that was! We had better come out, and have a better game tomorrow night, or there is going to be hell to pay!" The aged manager shouted, at the top of his lungs. That night, from later conversations with each other, no one on the team slept. Losing was one thing, but an effort like they had given that night, was unacceptable.
The following night, the crowd, many of them season ticket holders, booed the Good Guys, and Gil Bellows, as the team took the field. After a quick Pirates half of the first inning, where Bellows struck out the side, the Good Guys came to bat in their half of the opening inning. After second baseman Russell, and shortstop Tommy Cruise, both reached base, with singles, Mitch came up, and hit a long, arching, drive into the picnic pavillion, in left center field, for a 3-0 Good Guy lead. Gil had an early lead, that he did not give back, as he pitched a beauty, allowing only one run, in an eventual 4-1 Good Guy win, that hopefully would get the team back on track. Sniderman was pleased in the post game clubhouse:" That was Good Guy baseball tonight. Power and pitching, that's us, now hopefully, we can be that way the rest of the homestand. Charlize Theron had the ball on Wednesday night. Charlize was brilliant, pitching eight shutout innings, and allowing only two hits.
The game was scoreless until the bottom of the eighth, when, with a man on, Center Fielder Ed Burns came up, and popped a long fly ball to left field, which carried over the wall, into the Pirate bullpen. The two runs were all the Good Guys needed, as Hilary Duff slammed the door in the ninth, and the Good Guys had back to back wins, this one by a 2-0 score.
Thursday was an off day. After a trip to counesling in the morning, Mitch and Naomi spent time at the casino in the afternoon, having fun, but losing about $200. Once again, it was a recharge the batteries day, that was much needed..
Chicago came to town on Friday night. Neve Campbell was the starter. She pitched very well, allowing but one run in eight innings. The Good Guys, however, could get nothing done offensively, and lost, 1-0. Rachel Leigh Cook had the ball on Saturday night, which usually spelled trouble. She gave her usual effort, four runs allowed, in six innings. Paradise trailed, 4-2 in the eighth, before having a really inspired inning, erupting for five big runs in the bottom of the eighth, and then watching the bullpen slam the door, in a 7-4 win. Kate Hudson would be on the mound, on a sunny, fine, 90 degree Sunday, in front of a sellout. One expected that Kate would be Great, after the poor effort against Pittsburgh earlier in the week. Kate was great, striking out ten Cubs in seven innings, and allowing only four hits. Her wonderful effort, though, almost went to waste. The Good Guys had only one run, getting that in the seventh, and nearly giving it back in the eighth, with the bullpen, as the tying run got tossed out at home plate. Finally, in the bottom half, Paradise got three more runs, on three homers in a row. The bullpen closed the door in the ninth, and the Good Guys, and Kate, had credit for a
4-0 win.
St Louis came to town on Monday night, in the last series of the homestand. Gil Bellows was the starter. He allowed only three runs, but the Cardinal starter was better, giving up only two, in an eventual 3-2 setback. Charlize Theron took her turn on Tuesday night. She pitched a bit of a ragged game, three runs, and ten hits, in six innings, but, trailing 3-1, the Good Guys found magic, scoring five eighth inning runs, to erase the deficit, and come away with a 6-3 victory. Neve Campbell was on the mound, on a sunny, hot, blistering, 94 degree day, in front of a sellout. Neve allowed three runs, and ran out of gas in the fifth. Trailing 3-0, the Good Guys struck again, tying the game in the sixth, on several singles, and then, putting the homestand to end in a dramatic fashion, as Mitch hit a solo ninth inning homer, to end the homestand on a thrilling note, with a 4-3 Paradise Island win, that completed a fine six and three homestand. The team had played very well after their manager's opening game tirade, and, as they prepared to head for Pittsburgh, the next night, all seemed well.
In the meantime, the team held it's Saturday night tickle party. The featured lee, for her awful game the week before, would be Kate Hudson. She protested as she was forciably dragged to the tickle table, and tied down with rope: "Hey,why do I get it? I could go out there tomorrow, and throw a shutout, for all anyone knows" She argued. "Yes, but you were the reason we lost on Monday night, well, a large part of it, so, you are going to get it now" Mitch said, with a grin. With that Center Fielder Ed Burns began the tickle on the bra and panties clad Kate's neck with fingers, as her head shifted from side to side, and the giggles began:HEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEEHE! NO! Working down, left fielder Dawson was next, tickling Kate on her underarms, sides, ribs, and belly with fingers, counting her ribs up and down:HEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHE! Moving down, shortstop Tom Cruise was the next ler, attacking Kate's hips, inner thighs, and knees with fingers, as her legs jerked:EHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHHHHHEHE! Finally, Mitch positioned himself at Kate's bare soles, and tickled them with his fingers, two feathers, ice, and a portable back massager on her bare toes and soles. Kate went ballistic, wiggling her toes every which way, and screaming and squealing with laughter, begging for mercy:HEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEEH! OMG OKAY! OKAY! I WILL PITCH BETTER TOMORROW! PLEASE GET THAT BACK MASSAGER OFF MY SOLES! I CANT STAND IT! IT TICKLES SO MUCH! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHE! Finally, the tickle ended, and the exhausted Kate was untied.
On Thursday evening, Naomi drove Mitch to Nassau International Airport, so that he could catch the team flight to Pittsburgh. "We did okay this time. Good homestand on field, nothing much off. Have a good trip, and I will see you next Sunday" Naomi said, kissing him. When the Good Guys landed in Pittsburgh, however, things were not so rosy. Mitch opened his instant message function on his laptop computer, to see an angry message screen pop up from Naomi. He couldnt imagine what was wrong. All the screen said was "Call me!" , with a mad red Yahoo face. Mitch was in disbelief. What could have possibly happened while he was on the plane. Was it something serious, or just minor? That answer to come in the continuing story of the Tickle Team From Paradise Island.
