Angry Alpacas

bbbbeeeeehhhhh!!!!!

Could pitchers and catchers be reporting soon?

It's when or go home time. The Alpacas start the first round of the playoffs tonight at 6. Can the herd make a magical championship run? It's possible. After all, their opponent tonight is the first team the Alpacas recorded a full 7-inning game with.

Don't underestimate those with special needs. They can still play good ball.

Alpacas escape with 10-9 win against the Manhattan Sports Club. Bryan Richardson held off MSC with a game-deciding RBI as time expired.

Brady "The Answer" Bauman made his glorious return to the diamond with a 3-for-4 performance at the plate, giving the slugger his first recorded batting average of the season.

Pitcher Grant Guggisberg tallied another complete game.

Tonight at 5, an answer returns....

Tonight's games are cancelled due to weather. Brady "The Answer" Bauman's epic return to the Alpaca lineup waits another week.

FYI, we're looking to get to 1,000 "likes" by Tuesday. EHHHEEHHEEHH!

He's open for questions.

Brady "The Answer" Bauman returns to the Alpaca line-up at 9 p.m. tonight on field 5 at Anneberg Park against Sons of Pitches.

Did the Angry Alpacas get their first win last Sunday because Bauman was out of town, and thus an "answer" wasn't available? The world finds out tonight.

Ehhhheeehhhhhheeehhh!

Ehehehehhhhh!!!! Check out some slick Alpaca photography!

Angry Alpacas play full game, avoid run-rule

MANHATTAN -- The Angry Alpacas softball team had plenty of reasons to celebrate Sunday night in Frank Anneberg Park.
The Alpacas (0-2, "E" League) were not run-ruled and played a full seven innings for the first time this season.
The Alpacas lost to New Hope Church 12-3.
"Can you feel that? This is seventh-inning softball!" part-time Alpaca right-center fielder Bryan Richardson, exclaimed after the end of the sixth inning when it was clear the Angry Alpacas would chart its first official full-game.
The Alpacas started the contest strong and notched the first run of the night. It was a close battle with New Hope and a 4-3 contest (Alpacas trailing) in the middle innings.
But, the curse of executing fundamental defensive plays and 1-2-3 offensive outings reared its ugly head and cursed one of the few Manhattan city-league softball teams to sport matching uniforms.
It was a strong showing for the Alpaca's lead-off hitter, Tim Weideman, who was 3-for-3 with an RBI.
It was also a highlight night for Manhattan Mercury sports editor and Alpaca shortstop Joshua Kinder, who sacrificed his body for multiple outs and also pegged a base runner in the back with a hard throw while said base runner attempted to take homeplate for another New Hope run.
This effort by the New Hope base runner was successful, and as of press time, no injury suits have been filed against Kinder.
Brady Bauman -- also known as "The Answer" and widely understood as the heart of the Angry Alpacas -- again demonstrated powerful swings in the batter's box, but a home run -- or even a single, fielder's choice, or base on balls -- eluded the Winfield native once again.
"We weren't run-ruled and got to see the seventh inning," Bauman said. "Sounds like a victory to me.
"Stick that in your pipe and smoke it."
The Alpacas will be back in action next Sunday night at Anneberg Park.
"I bet we can make it to the seventh inning again," Bauman said.
