Rounders for fat ba .. er .. ba .. er batsmen, that's it, Rounders for Fat Batsmen (phew).  

OK MNt, you know I like a game of baseball and there's only one (that matters) being played tonight. It's currently 3-3, The Sad Franck's Disco Big Boys against The Kansas City Ruby Slippers. Winner takes all tonight in The World Series (sic) Finale in Dorothy's back yard, where there's obviously no place like home to win a big fancy, shiny, tin pot trophy that most of the world couldn't care less about.



For a series where nobody knows who the hell is going to turn up from one game to the next (only one half-decent pitching duel to be seen so far) I'll pitch in a nice round £1 for every home run in tonight's game scored by either team. Doesn't matter if it's bases loaded or bases empty it's still a £1 as only the guy swinging his lumber on home plate can hit the home run.

For those of you not already bored to tears here's the scores so far:

Home Runs in brackets, away team first, as is the American way.

Game 1
SF 7 (1)
KC 1 (1)

Game 2
SF 2 (1)
KC 7 (1)

Game 3 (0)
KC 3
SF 2

Game 4 (0)
KC 4
SF 11

Game 5 (0)
KC 0
SF 5

Game 6
SF 0
KC 10 (1)

So not many big hits so far, so maybe I'm doing the pitchers down a bit, but once the bats start connecting they are knocking them far enough to get on base and drive in the runs.

I'll be looking for the highlights in the morning, in fact, it might still be on when I wake up in the morning.
