Shot's Fired!

April 30th, 2010. BANG! BANG! At last! The Darger guns broke a five day detente on Friday night in a timely turnabout from their recent run of nothingarianism. After immediately allowing a lone enemy combatant to breach the hold, No.16 let them have it with both barrels!

It was a huge lift to the Darger morale. Sharpshooter No.58 returned to his fighting form to stave off the buccaneers with solid support from the platoon of piecemeal groundpounders.

When No.7 launched a mediating warhead into the enemy lines, it secured a firm foothold on the return path to glory. The guns weren't firing at full capacity, but the sound and the fury was reassuring.  W is for Winds of Change.

Dargers' 2010 Battle Begins On Road.

April 5th, 2010. WAR!!! Steel City is a long, day and a half's haul from Traffic Town. Two thousand, four hundred and forty miles of seventy-five degree night and daylight...1,000 miles of sweat per hour. Spring  Camp had proved not to be a spring- but a speed bump. To be honest, the opening day contest for the 2010 Los Angeles Dargers felt more like it was a million miles away. The lasting image of the battle that comes to my mind is that of a rotten Vadalia Onion exploding into an eye-watering explosion of yellow and black venom upon it's test-dummy impact with the filthy, bullet-holed windshield of a 1970's South American Ford Motor Coup car. THUMP! Number 44 led the plunge into the Allegheny River on Monday afternoon, throwing everything but the el fregadero de cocina at the Eye Patches for four futile innings, while  Numbers 23, 27, 33, 99 took the high road to the promises of another fight, and a successful 2010 war campaign. All ends that ends...well?

L is for Viva la Vadilla! RAGE ON! This Road is Our Road!
