Game 12: Shiffman 10, Red Scare 4

Posted on November 15, 2020 by Neil deMause

The Red Scare’s season finale against Shiffman began like so many other games this season: With uncertainty whether we’d even be able to play. Once again, we were met with two large puddles on Parade Grounds Field 3, one next … Continue reading →

Game 11: Red Scare 5, Miller 2

Posted on November 10, 2020 by Neil deMause

Our last of four matchups this year with Miller, our last night game of the season — and our last run-in with the Tuesday night frisbee players. Once they’d finished their practice in the outfield (plus several minutes of stretching … Continue reading →

Game 10: Shiffman 18, Red Scare 4

Posted on November 8, 2020 by Neil deMause

I’m not going to do a blow-by-blow of yesterday’s game vs Shiffman, because not much went right for us: We couldn’t hit opposing starter Graeme at all (eight strikeouts, one infield out, and one lone walk), our starter Dylan was … Continue reading →

Game 9: Red Scare 10, Lieber 3

Posted on November 5, 2020 by Neil deMause

With no frisbee players in our way, the Red Scare were able to get started on last night’s game vs. Lieber’s Redrum early, with first pitch at 5:19 pm. On the mound for his first start of the season was … Continue reading →

Game 8: Miller 3, Red Scare 2

Posted on November 3, 2020 by Neil deMause

Last night’s game was a seesaw battle where it was unclear the entire time who was going to win, and even now, the next morning, we’re still not entirely sure who will end up being crowned the winner. I can’t … Continue reading →

Game 7: Red Scare 11, Williams 5

Posted on October 25, 2020 by Neil deMause

At 8 pm last night, I got an email from Adam in the league office: An undefeated Grasshoppers-level team didn’t have an opponent for its game the next morning at 8 am — could we fill in? I was skeptical … Continue reading →

Game 6: Red Scare 5, Miller 4

Posted on October 24, 2020 by Neil deMause

Friday night’s game against Miller was set to be a significant test for the 4-1 Red Scare, a matchup with the only team that had beaten us this year, way back in the first game of the season. But there … Continue reading →

Game 5: Red Scare 16, Lieber 4

Posted on October 20, 2020 by Neil deMause

The games are coming fast and furious this week, and last night it was yet another matchup against Lieber’s squad, who I was informed before the game are the Redrum. The Red Scare were the visiting team, and Jordan N … Continue reading →

Game 4: Red Scare 6, Nachsin 2

Posted on October 18, 2020 by Neil deMause

As you may have noticed from this email’s subject line, we have finally settled on a team name: the Red Scare, which narrowly beat out the Slutty Devils and Demons Ducks of Doom in the final round of voting before … Continue reading →

Game 3: Red Scare 16, Lieber 14

Posted on October 3, 2020 by Neil deMause

If the runup to Tuesday’s Game 2 was all about checking the weather reports, the hours before Game 3 were focused on figuring out who was going to show up, as Lieber’s team in particular was looking very short-handed. In … Continue reading →
