In no particular order:
1) Sheehan Lands A TKO -
In 2005 OF/SP Pat Sheehan is on base when Kootch laces a shot to right field, Sheehan barrels towards
home as the throw is coming in from the cut-off man. The catcher receives the throw and turns to tag out Sheehan...SMASH...Sheehan
throws his shoulder into the catcher (mind you the catcher is about 6'6"/250) and tosses the kid on his back and he smacks
his head on the ground leaving the catcher with more then likely a mild concussion and Sheehan has a dislocated shoulder
and is called out, but ends up almost starting a massive brawl.
2) Kootch's 400 Foot Single -
In a game in the summer league of 2006, Kootch hits a bomb that crashes up against the fence in right
field and everyone is thinking he is going to round the bases with ease, but when the team looks back at him from glaring
at this gargantuan hit Kootch is standing at 1st base grasping his hamstring in pain. Most teams would have sent out
the team trainer or at the least consoled him due to his injury, but Team Bueno just laughed it up and poured salt on the
wound.
3) Pazz's Ridiculous Antics -
There are almost too many to name for this moron. In a game in '06 he was in the outfield during
a late game and a kid started shooting fireworks off close to right field, so Pazz throws his glove to the ground and starts
on a rant about how terrible Lynn is for about 10 minutes. In another episode in '06 he has a 3-2 count and most people
would swing at anything close to protect themselves from being called out on strikes, but unfortunately Pazz is dumb and he
took strike 3 over the middle of the plate and is rung up for strike 3, after which he proceeds to tell the umpire Brian to
suck his a**hole and is thrown out from that game and suspended for another.
His most recent moronic adventure happened in 2009 where he struck out looking and decided
it was a good idea to hurl his bat into right field foul territory and then turn and whip his hat towards the umpire.
It didn't end there unfortunately, the umpire then confronted him at the bench and told him to leave where Pazz put on his
childish display once again and talked back like his daughter would do. He got thrown out for that game and suspended
for a 2nd game and was almost thrown out of the league for good.
4) Joe Pulls A Wendall Kim -
For anyone who doesn't know who Wendall Kim is, he was the 3rd base coach for the Red Sox a few years
ago and he was best known for his terrible job sending players home because they would more often then not get thrown out
at the plate. So, if you can't figure out where this is going, in the '06 playoffs Joe was coaching 3rd base and Ryan
Sheehan was on 2nd and the ball was hit sharply to left field so Joe makes the decision to send him home and the throws comes
home and Ryan is out by a mile and the season is over. After that game Joe was banned from coaching in any fashion ever
again.
5) Josh Loves The Long Ball
- The Ace of the Team Bueno pitching staff is Josh Peabody, now he tends to have times where he
shines like Curt Schilling in Game 6 of the 2004 ALCS, but he also has times where he is just so bad it almost hurts to see
him pitch. In the '07 Fall League he has pitched in 3 games and so far he has given up about 15 total homeruns, 9 have
gone over the fence. It's safe to say that he is not on his A game. Team Bueno was actually thinking of bringing
in Jim Abbott, yes the guy with one hand (1996 Jim Abbott when he lost 18 games) to pitch for Team Bueno.
6) Chuck Runs The Bases Like A Pro - You can scroll through any one of the games where Chuck got on base
and find some of the worst baserunning of all-time, like rounding first and falling down or just flat out not going home
on a sac fly, or even going home on and not having a chance to make it. I wish I could narrow this memory
down, but I think every one of these mistakes deserves entry into this one memory.
7) Medur Shows Up Intoxicated And As High As
A Kite - During a game in 2005 halfway through the 2nd
inning Medur shows up in the outfield and may have been higher and drunker then anyone in the history of the world has ever
been at 6 p.m. He ended up playing that half inning in the outfield with no shoes on as well.
8) The Monsoon Game - Maybe one the worst experiences of our lives. It didn't rain it friggen downpoured for 20 straight minutes completely
soaking the whole field and everyone on it as well as the temperature being around 30 degrees.
9) The Sit-In - This was one of
the funniest things in the world. The team we were playing hit the ball into deep right center onto the little girl's
softball field and belted some 8 year old girl off the back of the neck with the homerun ball and then they hit it there a
second time. Parents came rushing to our field screaming and yelling. One specific father decided the best way
to make us stop hitting balls into the other field was to stage a sit-in at 2nd base. He sat on 2nd base bitching and
moaning about it until finally the cops were called and everything was back to normal. But, in that 20 minute stretch
that had to be one of the funniest things we've ever witnessed.
10) Kootch Bitches - During
a playoff game during the '08 season Kootch was behind the plate and according to Josh, the ump was squeezing him on his pitches.
So, Kootch was getting highly frustrated, but it would only get worse. Pazz gets up to bat and immediately pops out
to left field, what a god damn surprise, and as he is walking off the field mumbles something about loving life and happy
times. The ump believes otherwise, as he warns Team Bueno for its language in a league where the players are treated
like little newborn babies and need to have adults say "Earmuffs" when using profanity. So, Kootch gets slightly upset
at that call, but keeps his thoughts to himself for now. Then Davey gets up and pops out to right field and walks off
the field and screams "F*ck". The ump turns to Bueno's bench and gives them an out for the following inning due to the
language. Well, that was it for Kootch, who had completely had it with this clown. He looks at the ump and starts
arguing how that should have been the warning because Pazz never swore in his entire life. The umpire just sits there
and states that he can't have those type of words being said during the game. Kootch looks back at the ump and says
"Well, then what can we say" and the ump replies with "There are certain things you can say and certain ones I wouldn't say
in front of my children". So, Kootch says how about "B*tch" and the ump says, "Sure, that's OK". Kootch then goes
off on a tangent yelling "B*tch, B*tch, B*tch, B*tch" and the ump looks at Kootch and says, "Are you really going to act like
a baby about this" Kootch just looks over and says, "B*tch". Hahahaha what a classic Bueno moment.
