You can't play ball with a team who always insists on winning even if they

at all, is there?

  Yes, you can, you just have to pay the umpires more money and let the
first team think they are going to win while all along you are going to
kick their butts and laugh all the way to the bank. Of course, the first
team could have spies in your operation and then they would pay the
umpires even more, and there you are, up shit's creek without a paddle.
Unless of course, you have a spy inside THEIR operation. Jeez, I though
everyone knew this stuff......
