5 sure fire ways to tell you are losing at softball tonight

I know Jim Rome is a douchesoaker, but his "Softball guy" "Golf guy" "Corvette Guy" stuff on youtube is hilarious and so right now.
 
i work at an army research base so my work team is in a league of mostly army navy people and some contractors like me. my team has won the tournament the past 3 years (i only played for the 3rd of those) so the navy changed the rules (i guess army and navy alternate being in charge, i don't know) to benefit themselves. in last year's league, the best navy team had been using illegal bats the whole season and beat us when we met in the tourny (reg season games got rained out). we made it out of the loser's bracket, realized the bats were illegal (they had been bombing home runs), and beat them twice to win the tourny. so now this year, all those bats are legal.

good times. i personally don't care that much and just like playing but some of the guys i play with and on that navy team were uber pissed. i like playing in a somewhat serious, competitive league whether it be softball or whatever because competition is fun as is playing for something. uber competitive isn't my thing though. i like having a good time and cracking a few beers afterwards. kinda wish i was good enough to play in adult rec baseball leagues.

why do people think it's weird to try at softball?

there's nothing better than beating a team of firefighters or pipelayers b/c they get so pissed off, especially when it's a team full of PhD candidates/nerds

nothing wrong with trying. but to have such a deep love for it is pretty loser, imp. I mean, the ball is being pitched underhand. If everyone weren't trying to hit it out the innings might never end.
 
Great thread. I played in a co-ed beer league last year. In general the men in the league were of equal talent and skill level so the outcome often came down to the women on each team. Ours sucked and had never played before - they were there for the social aspect of it. But there was nothing worse than the butch girl on the other team who played first or third base, had a really expensive softball bag, talked a lot of shit, and never smiled.

Shit talking girls are the best, because no matter how good they are at softball, any guy knows that he wins in the competition of life.
 
If you looked up and I was batting third against you.

I guess I'm retired now, but I'd still play in a fun league.

I was 50/51 and played in a co-ed league in Newport Beach (nice co-ed talent). don't have HR power any longer, but I'll double you to death. I hit a little over .750. Slow pitch is no challenge.

That last league I palyed had a very good looking jockish girl was playing theird base. I was about 50/51 years old. She didn't take me very seriously and played me like I was going to bunt.

Seriously. That's a death wish. I suggested she move back. I was being nice.

She starts talking smack.

I back out of the batters box and ask who their captain is. It's the SS. He says it's up to her. I tell him she could get killed as once the ball I'll hit it where I can get a hit.

Then she ups the ante and call me "old man".

Well I did miss her shoulder by six inches. As I stood on second base, I looked over and said,"Do you think I could have taken your head off if I wanted to?"

She was mute.

Next time time up, I think she could have picked the leftfielder's pocket.

All leagues out here do...yu get a sheet before each game.

Hell even rec league basketball leagues do. They keep scoring, rebounding, three, FG and FT%.

Fine.

Bragging about your stats for slow-pitch softball. :rulz:

Better?
 
NO FUN SIR!!!

BTW I said Had no power and I was DOWN to .750 not bragging.....
 
The dude playing shortstop is wearing bright yellow cleats. /game
 
I accidentally bought a left handers glove on eBay. Play it again offered me $12. It still has all the tags. I just really want a new to me glove.
 
Also, I left my glove near the fence last night and someones dog peed on it. I hate when people take shitty care of their dogs its so annoying.
 
I had a little church league game last night.

Of course, I put one over the fence and hit a triple down the right field line because softball is so easy.

The pitcher was talking smack and we were pretty far behind, so I put my last one between his feet. He never knew it was coming, and after that he totally respected me.
 
First slide of the season last night and of course I tore up my leg (just in time for all the weddings and sundress season!). It is somewhat ameliorated by the fact that I did it sliding into third on a legit triple (yes, that is a brag).

I think we're in the perfect league for us now. We're not as young as we once were (and winning leagues), but win a few, lose a few, and don't have too many douchey uber-competitive people on other teams.
 
Last night, we had a guy on first and I was up. I hit a lame grounder straight to the SS (and he gloved it) which should have been at least one out if not a double play. The guy at first and I both ended up scoring. Twas awesome.
