Muhammad Ali once said “I just figured if I said it enough I could convince the world that I am the Greatest.”

Well, the jury is still out on if this is the greatest Cobra Kai team ever assembled but I believe we displayed one of our finest offensive games ever this past Friday night against the helpless PHI.

The game started surispetiously as usual Red Bug Lake juggernaut the PHI jumped out to a 4-0 lead to start the game. It seemed like it would be an uphill battle against this usual powerhouse.

With our Pack leader safely back in the dugout recovering from an undisclosed injury Sprague’s gathered the team before our first at bat and urged us to give him at least 4 runs…..and then he turned and said…..there is one thing I need you guys to do for me tonight……..”Win, Cobra Kai, Win!” Then Johnny Blaze screamed….Well what are we waiting for….Takus! And it was like the montage music cranked up and the team was in the zone and would not be stopped from that moment on.

The first couple hitters did the usual dirty work and found their way on base setting the table for the Swami to unleash his deadly Sidewinder swing followed up by Brett Favre’s cannon and the PHI were running for their life from then on. This proved to be the deadliest line-up ever to take the field as we batted through the line-up twice to start the game. Yes, I know the team accomplished this a few other times during the season but not against a tested team like the PHI. “I knew this line-up was deadly but I didn’t know we were going to unleash that type of deadly fury on a team like the PHI” The Swami said after the game.

Everybody contributed to the offensive explosion as DonJuan continued to raise his league leading OBP% to .992 knocking in Capt. Tucci 3 times. Koko was wearing his Iceman Underoos as he attacked the Left fielder relentlessly until he injured him and sent him into hiding for the rest of the game. The PHI were so baffled they changed pitchers 3 times throughout the game as each new pitcher had no answer for our heated bats. They even threw in the towel on trying to pitch Brett Favre and started handing out free passes rather than get destroyed with bombs.

We played our usual bend but don’t break defense behind a solid Pitching performance from the Mad Dog. The Infield held the line for the Kai on this night eating up everything hit their way and even turning a couple crucial Double plays to kill any rallies the PHI tried to piece together. JohnnyBlaze was back in his sweet spot at third eating everything up hit his way and there was no way we were going to let the PHI gather any life offensively to climb back into it.

The final score was 26-15 but that was only after we went into our prevent defense and allowed the PHI to chip away but not come close as every at-bat we just kept smashing the ball until the UMPS called Mercy in the 4th inning.

After the game the Kai had plenty to celebrate as they had Spragues back and were celebrating the pending nuptials of the DonJuan himself. The team takes the field again this Friday night in a double header and will be off the following week to help support the DonJuan as he enters into the brotherhood of Marriage.

See you under the Friday Night Lights as Big Daddy Richard Gutierrez plans to attend this momentous game.
