assignment Falcons Drop Opener
Sunday 8:00PM June 29th, 2025

It began well for the home side Falcons. But before we get to what happened in the game, lets document that the Falcons were missing at least 7 rostered players for the day, for the third time this season. The gift basekets sent to Glorious Dan are becoming a subscription. But I digress...
Cowboy started the game off with his highlight of the night, a triple that was immediately scored by Handsome Jer's RBI single. Then Barry Guerrero Jr, who qualifies for a senior's discount at the following places:
Carlton Cards (10%)
Michael's (10%)
Giant Tiger (varies per store)
Pet Valu (10%)
Global Pet Foods (15%)
Salvation Army (10%)
Value Village (30%)(!)
Rona (10%)
Home Hardware (10%)
Cloverdale Paints (25%)
Banana Republic (10%)
Ming Wo (20%, but only on the first Monday of the month, and only on regular priced items)
Northern Reflections (10%. Is the place still in business? I don't go to the mall much. Like, are sweaters with embroidered loons still popular enough to maintain a business?)
Safeway (10%, but only on the first Tuesday of the month, and you have to spend $35 on the Safeway Card, which, really, why not just kick seniors in the nuts on the way out the door?)
Golden Griddle (10%, and you only have to be 55, but it doesn't count towards alcoholic drinks. They serve alcohol at Golden Griddle? Isn't that a breakfast place? Do they offer whiskey shots at Stacked? Maybe only in their Oshawa and Hamilton locations?)
Nutters Everyday Naturals (10% on Senior Day, which is every Monday. I assume this place is some kind of online porn site? Poutine would know. Very nice of them to offer the seniors a bit of a break to start off the week)
A & W (the discount amount isn't specifically mentioned here, but seniors get a discount on coffee and tea, which is definitely why you're going to A & W)
The fast food places go on and on, but most offer free coffee or tea to seniors. I'm surprised by the number of fast food franchises (Burger King, Chruch's Chicken, Denny's, IHOP, Applebee's, Perkins Restaurant & Bakery and Wendy's) who offer the senior discount as early as 55 years old. Another, Imperial Buffet, offers 35% off Monday to Thursday (for lunch and dinner), and Friday for lunch only, but you have to produce government ID to get it. So I can picture some little old bitty in her walker just going full Karen on the daytime assistant manager of one of these places because she can't produce a driver's licence that literally disintegrated when the first Trudeau was PM to get her 35% discount at the regular second-Wednesday-of-the-month Bridge Club lunch.
What was I saying about digression? Oh yeah.
So Barry hits a home run to move him into a tie for the team lead at 61 years old. Urine tests are pending. After the first inning, the Falcons led 4-0.
Then the wheels fell off.
Broadway put up 3 in the second, a MAX6 in the third, seven in the fifth and five more in the sixth to cruise to an easy 21-11 victory.
The game meant little after Handsome Jer attempted a kick-save (and a beauty!) on a ground ball to short that went off his shin and sounded like a gunshot. He walked it off, dented bone and all.
Game Notes: Today is Thurday, and I'm writing a recap for a game that happened on Sunday. You think I can remember any notes?
