LOBBY STRIKES OUT
In an incredible historical first the greatest player the American League has ever seen struck out for the first time ever against the Washington Capitols.
"I had a bad inning," said future Hall of Famer Izzy Lobby. "But no way I'll lose this series. These guys are my 'cousins.' " With his trademark ear-to-ear grin, Lobby added: "I'll murder 'em."
Lobby, who has dominated the American League since time immemorial, went down swinging the other day against the outgunned Capitols.
Capitols relief pitcher Ronnie Paul, who surprised Lobby with a sharp, breaking pitch for Strike Three, said after the game that he hoped Lobby had reached the end of his career.
"He's terrorized our team for much too long," said Paul, graciously averting questions that Lobby and his team have paid off Capitols players to throw games.
Apprised of Paul's comments, Lobby responded: "He got lucky. I swung at a bad pitch. I'll smack it out of the part next time."
