Happy to say that tonight I will be making my biking/drinking/softball debut for the season. I happily ride my bike to the softball fields, play a couple games, drink several beers, and bike it home. When your wife is the prosecuting attorney in a small town, it is the best possible option for continued happiness for all.

I think it's manly to bike drunk. Although, if I ever purchase a riding lawnmower, I might hop that dude up and roll into the complex that way. Didn't work too well for one guy from Wisconsin that got nailed for DUI while riding his, but I think I could try it.

Chad, I want the lowdown on the softball league. What's your team? Your batting avg, starting pitchers, etc? I'm going to try to cap your games.

The league is highly-competitive D-League slow pitch softball. As in many other leagues, you have the old time quality players, the young studs, the crappy players, middle of the road employee types filling out the teams, etc. A few good teams, most are fairly solid, a couple dog squads. The term "on any given night, any team can win" surely applies, and may help in your capping.

I will only be playing part time, as I coach Babe Ruth baseball and we play on the same night, but I'll keep you posted early if I have any solid matchup info when I know I'll be there.

I play for the local Eagles Club franchise, a mid-upper tier squad in the league. We had a bad opening night, which was embarrassing, as we had the prime time 7:15 & 8:15 time slots on the main fields. Luckily, it was pretty chilly, and many of the good looking babes were not out, so our exploits won't register much.

How bad? We scored one run in our first game. Three guys struck out, including, um, myself. I bought the first rack of beer for the season, with the "K". More important capping info...we start each count at 1-1, so if you take a strike early, you are at the mercy of the pitcher. First time up (no practice at all this year) I took a beautiful first pitch just to get my rhythm and bearings, and proceded to swing at the next pitch in desperation, which was probably a foot short of the plate and maybe six inches inside. I honestly don't think I could have reached it with two bats...and the hilarity ensued. I played it cool, laughing on my way back to the dugout, which may have fooled some of the women in the stands - at least I hope so. The only saving grace was that nobody in the lineup hit at all, so it was a team crap-fest. When capping, know that we generally put double figures on the board - or at least used to.

The second game went better, we jumped out to a 3-0 lead, and held the lead for the whole game until the last inning, where the opposition (a very good team) whittled away and beat us 7-6. Neither team really deserved the win. At least in that game, personally, I had two hits, the last one a deep drive to right center that got over the fielders head for a cool stand up double. Five years ago that would have been a triple, but not anymore.

We dropped a double header to start the season, but have already faced two of the top teams in the league. I'll let you know when I'm heading out there again, and what to expect in your capping.

7-6 seems to be a common score in softball as well as kickball.

I wish I could have gotten this info sooner! We could have put a prop up for the the first 'K' on your team. You might have been about +500.

Actually, I was the second guy to whiff last night, so that prop would have been a loser. In my defense, before the game I was watching my son's baseball game which was 45 minutes out of town, and I had just enough time to make it to the field, throw on the shorts, and gulp down half a beer before playing. Usually, I'm with the team at the sponsor's club, nailing 4-5 pre-game pitchers. I've rarely tried to hit a softball with clear eyes...and it didn't work out. Proof? After the fourth beer of the night in game two, is when I one-hopped the shot to the fence. I'm usually in "the zone" at the 3-4 beer mark, be it softball, golf, pool, and parenting.

OK so tonight was kinda strange. The 2nd best guy on dart team threw a dart all the way through the finger of the best guy on the team. I only saw the very end of the incident, but that was enough to know that something went terribly wrong. There was a splash of blood followed by a lot of confusion. This was supposed to be a friendly night of practice. I don't know if #2 is trying to make a statement against #1, but this was fu*ked up. I will call #1 'Baby Jesus' from now on, since he has entry and exit wounds. ....but from a freakin dart, for God's sakes??!!! I didn't know that was possible.

Lord have mercy. I was on good behaviour. No fights or anything, yet, tragedy still occurs anyway.:shrug:

............................................................

so let me get this straight.

Darts. A simple game. You throw a sharp object from about 10 feet at a round soft board.

So the landscaper Jesus throws his darts, walks over to get them, and the other guy jacks a sharp dart object at the board just as Jesus is reaching to get his dart out. The dart strikes Jesus going through his finger and securing it to the soft board.

I thought you had to yell fore when a dart was in motion. Didnt that kid in the Christmas story almost lose a eye to a dart ? or was that a bb gun.

I wouldnt guess that there would be drinking going on playing darts.

naaaa.
