Shankees vs. Dokdo


Shankee press coming to you live, Wednesday Evening - Cool like the other side of the pillow - The Shankees will be at home once again to host the used-to-be buena onda Koreans of Dokdo Baseball Club. The Koreans, known for having the nicest looking uniforms in the league, have yet to put their game where their uniforms are; as the hard hitting Shankees look to tack on their fifth straight victory and pound Dokdo silly with their big bats. Coming off a 25 run foray of the somewhat depleted Cardenals, the Shankees have amassed a whopping 69 runs in their last four games, and with Jimmy K Jr. expected to take the mound, offensively, the Koreans don't stand a chance of beating the wily Expats. North Carolina native out of Chapel Hill, Jon ''take my time around the bases" Cantrell, will surely be aiming for the fences once again, as will Ruben "Rio" Bravo, and Jorge "of the Jungle' Gutierrez. Julio “The Bison” Briceño is doubtful after leaving last game with back pains. Expected back among the ranks is Jonny "Doc Slider" who despite missing the entire season, bounced one off the center field fence last week, missing a dinger by two inches. Gabo "Gabba" Perdomo, who caught a fine game last Saturday is expected back behind the plate, but with Jimmy K's tremendous heat, it's not much he will endure. David "Sucker for Peer Pressure" Mickelsen and Tyson "I'm on two hours sleep" Boulais are also expected back for another dose of Shankee ball. Tyson made a pair of spectacular catches in center field for the Shankees despite his obvious hangover. Seattle party animal Nandrin Louis will be making a comeback and looking to patrol left field, along with local favorite Pablo "My sister's getting married" Valdez. College Shortstop Zack Karson, who closed out the game on the mound in two innings of relief for Buttermaker Perry is also expected back and with this star studded cast of characters, Dokdo should be toast in five on a 15 run mercy rule. “I think we’ll be done in seven, if not five,” Skipper Paul Perry told the Shankee Press, “This’ll give us more time to hang out after the game, before the sun sets over the rainbow,” he adds. - Reporting for the Shankee Press, Jack Green . Go Shankees!
