October, A Good Run, Repeat, Or No Repeat, And, A Much More Serious Issue?
The Good Guys finished the regular season in fine fashion, winning the division easily.
The National League Division Series began on a Tuesday in Paradise, against the Wild Card Phillies. Kate Hudson, of course, got the call. Kate was great, allowing one run over six innings, and combining with three relievers, on a 4-1 win, to draw first blood. Gil Bellows pitched the next afternoon. The Good Guys had their hitting shoes on that day, scoring five times in the opening inning, and never looking back, to come home with a 10-5 win, and take a two game to none lead in the best three out of five series.
The teams flew to Philadelphia on the off day, Thursday, and met at Citizens Bank Park, in Philly, on Friday night. Charlize Theron was on the mound. Charlize got roughed up some, allowing four runs in her five innings of work, as the Good Guys could not recover, falling 5-3. Kate Hudson pitched again on Saturday night. This time, the Good Guys scored four first inning runs, and never looked back, as Hudson allowed only two runs in seven innings to the Phils, and the Good Guys came away with a 7-2 victory, to finish the first round.
The Good Guys flew home to Paradise, where they would have three days to rest, befpre beginning the National League Championship Series against the Mets on Tuesday night. Gil Bellows would start Game One of that series, against the Mets Tom Glavine. Glavine got hit hard, allowing four runs, and Bellows gave up only three to the Mets. The bullpen did the rest, and the Good Guys secured a 4-3 win, to take Game One of the series. Charlize Theron had the ball in Game Two. Charlize was very good, allowing but two runs in six innings, as the Good Guys piled up five, against the questionable Mets pitching. The bullpen slammed the door over the final three innings, and the Good Guys had a 5-2 win, to put them half way to the World Series.
The teams flew to New York on the Thursday off day, and met at Shea Stadium in New York on Friday night. Kate Hudson had the ball in Game Three. She was masterful, shutting out the volcanic Met offense for eight innings, as Hilary Duff did the rest in the ninth, as the Good Guys got but one run, which was enough, to take away a 1-0 victory, to put Paradise one win from the Series. In Game Four, it was a matchup of Game One starters again, Bellows Vs Glavine. Each team got one run early, and then the Good Guys got another run, the Mets answered, and Paradise went ahead yet again. In the eighth, with Amanda Bynes pitching, and the bases loaded, Carlos Delgado hit a seeing eye ground ball that was just out of the first baseman's reach, and scored two runs. Billy Wagner blew the Good Guys away in the ninth, and the Mets had a 4-3 win, their first of the series. Charlize started Game Five. Once again, it was a dramatic script. Paradise took a lead, the Mets came back, tied the score, went ahead, until their bullpen blew an eighth inning lead. Then, in the tenth, Paradise took another lead, but, in the bottom half, Hilary Duff could not slam the door on the Mets, or the series, as, with a one run lead, and a man on, she served up a mammoth homer to Carlos Beltran, to give the Mets back to back wins, and send the series back to Paradise, with a sour taste in the Good Guys mouths. The series that Paradise figured should have been over, was going to a sixth game, in Paradise on Tuesday night.
In Game Six, more than 50,000 fans staged a love in. The Good Guys sent Neve Campbell to the hill, to save Kate for Game Seven if needed. Paradise presented Neve with an early gift, of five runs, off Mets starter Orlando Hernandez, but, what should have been an early party for Paradise, and World Series plans, turned into a fight to the death. Neve did okay until the fifth, but then, the Mets got her for four quick runs. Naomi allowed the Mets to tie the score in the eighth, before Bynes served up what could have been a disasterous homer in the eighth, to give the Mets the lead. Paradise knew they needed to get something that inning, so as to prevent Wagner from coming in, and a sure Game Seven. Trailing 6-5, the Good Guys struck, as, with a man on, Mitch blasted one for all the bases, to give Paradise the lead! The stadium was bedlam. Hilary Duff came in for the ninth, with the Good Guys leading 7-6. A walk was followed by an out, and a bloop hit, and another out. With two on, a batter hit a fly ball to deep right, it was deep, but playable, Mitch stood under it, caught it, and the Good Guys were National League Champions! The stadium was bedlam, as the team jumped all over the field, thrilled to be going to the World Series again!
On Friday, a rather tired Good Guys team, boarded the plane to JFK airport in New York, to take on the Yankees, in yet another World Series, with the Yankees having revenge on their minds, after their loss the year before. Kate Hudson was the starter for Game One, against Yankee ace Chin Min Wang. Kate was magnificent, allowing only two runs in her six innings of work, to the hard hitting Yankees. In the eighth, in a tie game, the Good Guys pieced together a run, and the bullpen came in, and tiptoed through the brutal Yankee offense, with Duff striking out the final batter in the ninth, with men on base, to perserve a 3-2 opening game Good Guy win at Yankee Stadium. Everyone was thrilled to have won the first game in the Bronx, but both teams knew, from their previous October encounters, that they had a long, long way to go, before anyone claimed the championship. Game Two was no contest, as the Yankees came out swinging against Gil Bellows, piling up six runs, and putting the game away early, to come away with a 6-1 victory, to tie the series at one game all. No worry, the Good Guys had stolen a game at the Stadium, and now they were going home, where two of three wins were very possible.
After an off day on Monday, the teams met at Good Guy Stadium on Tuesday night. Charlize Theron had the ball. That game was a chess match, with the Yankees getting runs, and the Good Guys coming back. Finally, in the eighth, the Yankees went ahead again. Mr October Pitcher, Mariano Rivera, put the Good Guys on the defensive, by finishing off the Yankee win, by a 5-4 score, giving them the series lead, and placing the Good Guys in position to need to take the next two games, to avoid facing elimination. Kate Hudson had the ball for Game Four, and she did what she needed to, giving the hard hitting Yankee offense only one run in her six innings of work, as the Good Guys scratched for a run here, and a run there, and the bullpen did the rest, in a 4-2 Good Guy win, to tie the series at two games all. In Game Five, Gil Bellows had the ball. He pitched brilliantly, allowing only one run in seven innings. The Good Guys, however, could get absolutely none, and fell, 1-0, to put the Yankees one win from the title. The fans, while very disappointed, gave the Good Guys an ovation, figuring there was no way Paradise could win, down a game, going back to New York, with the Yankees having two chances to win one game. The "experts" figured that Game Six would be it, and the Yankees would punch the Good Guys lights out.
Saturday night, Yankee Stadium, Game Six, 60,000 Yankee maniacs yelling their heads off. Charlize Theron on the mound for the Good Guys. Paradise got two early runs, but the Yankees were hardly worried, as what were two runs, with their offense? Well, one run had been enough to slay the Good Guys in Paradise, and two were enough to stifle the Yankees in the Bronx, as, in a classic gut check, Charlize fired a five hit shutout, with no bullpen help, to take a 2-0 Good Guy win, and tie the series at three games all. Now, in this crazy World Series, the Good Guys had won Games One and Six in the Bronx, and the Yankees Games Three and Five in Paradise. Never before had the teams played a World Series like this, and, now, the long, long, long season, would come down to Hudson Vs Wang on Sunday night. One team would emerge as winners, and one as losers, but, in this World Series, even the loser would have to be proud.
In Game Seven, every pitcher but Game Six starter Charlize Theron was available. Hudson and Wang matched each other pitch for pitch. Things looked rosy for Paradise, as they scored three early runs. Leading 3-0, the roof caved in during the sixth, as the Yankees used several hits to tie the score. In the seventh, the Yankees went ahead, scoring two runs, only to see Paradise fight back to make it 5-4. In the bottom half, the Yankees hit a homer, to make the score 6-4. Here would come Rivera, three outs, to either heartbreak, or title. He was not at his best, giving up a few hits, and a run, then, with runners on first and third, Rivera jammed Mitch, who hit a lazy fly ball to right field, that was caught, to end the game, and the series. The World Series that nobody seemingly wanted to lose, was finally over, with a 6-5 Yankee win in Game Seven. Strangely enough, as the crowd went ballistic, and the Yankees went crazy on the field, the Good Guys stood there, applauding respectfully, and almost didnt feel like losers that year. Yes, the score said they lost, but, it had been a fight to the death, and now, they had to accept the National League Title, with their heads held high. Paradise retired to their clubhouse, where, they faced the media:" What can I say, I congratulate them. Even though we lost, this might have been our best World Series with them, in terms of games. No one wanted to lose. They won two at our place, we won two here. In Game Seven, we fell one run short. I am very proud of what we accomplished this year, disappointed that we lost, so, I accept the National League Title, and hope to come back, and get them next year" Mitch said, speaking for the disappointed, but prideful Good Guys.
The team flew back to Nassau, where at 430am, they were met by a racous crowd at the airport. They truly had played like champions, and given their hearts out on the field. As they looked back, they realized that had they won one more game in Paradise, the title would have been theirs. Nonetheless, there was no heartbreak, no anger, just disappointment, and yet pride, and now, came the long winter, with there always being next year, to secure another title.
In the meantime, on Monday night, the team held it's last tickle party of the year, before scattering for the winter. The featured lee would be the team's male pitching coach, whom the team jokingly "blamed" for their World Series setback. He was tied hands and feet to the bed, in the middle of the fetish club. Charlize Theron began the tickle on his neck with fingers, as his head shifted, and the giggles began:HAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAA! Working down, Naomi was next, tickling the pitching coach on his underarms, sides, ribs, and belly with fingers, as he bucked and howled:HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! Neve Campbell was the next ler, tickling the pitching coach on his hips, inner thighs, and behind his knees with fingers, as his legs bucked:HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA! Finally, Hilary Duff got to his feet, attacking them with fingers, feathers, and ice, over his soles and toes. The pitching coach went beserk, wiggling his toes and howling with laughter:HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHA! OMG I GIVE UP! HHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA! Finally, the tickle ended, and the pitching coach was untied.
So, the season comes to an end with disappointment. It had been a great World Series, where our heroes had fallen just short. Now, came the long winter. What about next year? That answer to come in the continuing story of the Tickle Team From Paradise Island.
