Spring time is upon us and its time for softball season to begin. Reminds me of my youth when I would trot out to the local fields to play slow pitch softball with no infield, no outfield fence against a bunch of out of shape law students with an ambulance waiting near by. Ok, I suppose things are a little different now. It was, however, a fresh season and the team went into opening day ready for a championship season. The main problem came when the other team actually had players who had played baseball after 1994, which sucked.
The game was neck and neck for most of the game and on its way to becoming a classic battle. The chess match lasted until the bottom of the second where the other team scored 11 runs. Some players say the game was 13-8 but Im pretty sure it was 13-3. I may have missed a couple runs while reading Richardson v. Ham. Haven’t read it? Great case, especially if you like the idea of drunk guys letting a bulldozer loose and having it crash into a town a mile away. Great case…
Notable notes:
Ian Rennie missed the game with a potential abdominal strain. Doctors reported it was simply menstrual cramping so he shouldn’t miss the next game. Phew…!
Bikoff didnt strike out, which he was very excited about.
Chase somehow began running backwards at one point on his way to first, which was wierd. He also may have been the only person to hit it out of the outfield, so that was pretty exciting.
I heard Will Thompson spent the whole game hot-dogging around and that hurt team moral.
I got Bikoff’s autograph in the dugout and sold it on ebay. It fetched a shilling.
I heard a rumor that Charles tried to trade Mustbuster and Ben Grant to the other team for their left fielder. Good move by Charles because you always go quality over quantity. The deal fell though when the other team pulled out over a contract problem with Mustbuster. Way to take one for the team Mustbuster. I heard he cares more about his stats than wins. Figures.
I also heard that if we win on Wednesday that everyone is getting totally nardbag wasted. I think Bikoff told me that.
Kirbo was an extremly good kid in the loss, which I thought was good sportsmanship.
Apparently if you call Interactive Male, “You can meet a guy who is sexy. And smart. Sexy and smart!” Awesome…
Richard scored the first run of the season while somehow avoiding most of the running, which was very exciting. I did, however, hear that he had an error while calling Interactive Male from the outfield. Save it for after the game, Dick!
Port-Dawg looked great in the loss and had one of the gutsiest performances I have seen in my entire life. Ever.
All in all, I give the team a D+. Yeah, more like D for fucking Dominant, bitches.
