Who is that Old Man in the Miami shirt next to Sonny Crockett?

Well, it is a new season one that we have been waiting a long time for. “This is our championship season, one that this team was built for and I am not going to let anything stop us from claiming that prize” said Mikey Lemieux before the opening day home opener for the Cobra Kai got under way.

Capt. Tucci has been preaching to his soldiers how we have to strike first, strike hard with No Mercy on a more consistent basis. Well, that is exactly what we did this past Friday Night against the Los Sparks Ent. To start the season off on a high note. The Kai jumped out to an early 4-0 lead as we started off on the right foot and our bats were rolling juiced with excitement and momentum much like Doctor Guttierez sex drive.

DonJuan made his old ass presence known by finding his way back to the bases springing out of the gate fully recovered from his ankle injury and his Birthday. The Donjuan was celebrating his birthday Friday and nothing was going to get in his way between first base and a victory that night as he belted 2 singles to continue to his league leading .997 OB %.

Mad Dog was in control of the game from the get go from the mound as he was baffling the los Sparks hitters who never faced the crafty veteran before. Johnny Blaze was busy patrolling the infield and sprinkled in a couple of key hits batting in the clean-up spot and belted a deep sacrifice fly that nearly reached the fences.

Roundhouse Reger was back to old form snagging balls at the hot corner and destroying the ball at the plate rounding out a 5 RBI performance and taking part in what could have been the play of the night. Regs recovered from a tough play at third and heaved a line shot towards home where Dr. Guttirez leaped into the air to attempt an inning ending play at the plate but as in life this is a game of inches and Doc came up just a few seconds to late. “When it comes to inches I was not born with the largest inches if you know what I mean but the ladies like the girth, or so I am told” Doc said when asked about the play after the game………clearly he was not on the same page as the reported for that question.

However, the play of the night came about in the bottom of the 6^th when the Servicos were attempting a rally to bring the game back in striking distance. The Grand Master, The Swami of the league Elliot came charging in hard from Center field to make a beautiful diving catch to save what could have been a game changing hit. Elliot then had the wherewithal to get up spin around and gun out the unsuspecting base runner at first base whom was in total shock of the beautiful catch which resulted in a great double play to end the inning, their rally, and essentially any shot they had at a comeback.

Capt. Tucci was stroking the ball at the plate as he has unveiled his new tomahawk swing he must have learned from JW and he crushed the ball twice to deep LF with the chop. Koko picked up right where he left off last season continuing to crush the ball with his new power stroke down the 3^rd base line. My offseason workouts with Gizmodo really helped improve my X-ray vision which helps me find the openings on the left side of the field. Sully found Nemo as he rounded out the hard hitting line-up and made sure the Kai’s put the finishing touches on our first victory of the year in commanding fashion.

The Kai’s are now undefeated for the first time in 16 contests and are on track for our best season yet.

And of course we celebrated in fashion at Gators destroying our league record 72 pitchers. The Junior Kai’s even won the Rock Band karaoke sing off with a great rendition of “Creep” headlined by the Birthday Boy DonJuan to a standing ovation to end the victorious night all around.

Well, we head back to Red Bug Lake this Friday as we look to stay undefeated under the Friday Night Lights!
