Exactly, don't need to be in top physical condition....although I usually pull my left quad every year :/ Stretching doesn't seem to help. I think it's the way I twist when I leave the batter's box.

Played my first game tonight, town league with the league bats.  It was good, cold, we ended up losing actually, only had 9 guys and then one guy who was already hurt/ old lol, hurt his knee so he's gona be out for the season.  It's always one of those things, we either play with like 8 guys, or 13 guys show up one night.  Didn't think to pay attention to the ball, it did feel pretty light, had a different texture.  Few home runs flew out, didn't seem to travel any further than last year.

I don't start playing until the week after next. I'm glad because it's too cold here. I hate playing in the cold :/ I've played with snow flying before and it sucks.

I hear ya, its not pleasant.  There is a big softball tourney called softball in the snow thats put on every february, I've never played in it though.  It's more focused on getting loaded and raising money for something, but ppl do actually play, just not me

I played for a few teams with old baseball buddies when I was about 25ish. It was kinda fun, but the other teams that were all serious about it took the funn out of it. We were all pretty good baseball players... most were college ball players. But, we were playing in some league with dudes that acted like it  was the **** MLB of softball and basically took it out the park on every swing. We were just there to drink beer and have fun playing ball. I only played two seasons before I said **** it. I wouldn't mind playing again if it was a just for fun league. I dread having to get into good enough shape to run the bases full speed, lol. I'd probably fall over and die these days.

Winter softball is fun, if there is ice. Ever slide half the distance to a base and still slide past home plate?

Lakkus- you'd hate to face me. Im no A-Rod/some famous sports star, but I try when its league form.

It's not that we didn't try. We were all good ball players. But these dudes acted like this was pro-level softball. They had sponsors and **** and were all **** huge roided out aholes. They literally hit the ball out the park on almost every "pitch" and got all excited about everything... talking **** and acting like children. We wanted to play ball like we always had, just not so serious. We weren't pro softballers... we were baseball players. It's a pretty different game. None of us could "pitch" a softball like they could. We were used to trying to get on base and play for hits, no homeruns. We won like half our games, but it wasn't that fun.

Yeah I've played some teams like that, usually in tourneys, don't see a lot of them anymore though.  There is a lot of guys I play with and against that swing for the fence every at bat, but nothing like some of the city teams we used to play.  Used to see vendors selling juiced bats saying ASA and USSA approved in the parking lot, teams bringing their own cameramen and selling photos after, just ridiculous stuff for softball. 

We do take it seriously, but we/ almost every team we play have coolers in the dugout, we all male cattle dung with eachother, everybody knows everybody kind of thing.  Here's a story for you though you might enjoy.

There was a team in town last year that were way too competitive.  We ended beating them in the championship in three games straight, which was priceless, and every single team wanted them to lose.  Never had a beer in their dugout the whole year, beat us twice in regular season ya know, we always are missing guys during the season.  All year they were talking about breaking home run records and having the best team ever assembled in the north country and other things along those lines.  This isn't an exaggeration, they beat one of the new teams in the league, who does't have a chance in hell of even winning a game, 43-1 in three innings the umps stopped it.  The rest of the year they took **** from everybody for it.  You'd hear them talking at the field about how they didn't run up the score it just happened.  This dude Joel Perry, tool, hit 6 home runs in that game.  You should have been there it was the single game home run record, this and that.  Our team doesn't get pissed, but I do a little by myself lol, I take a lot of things like that personally, especially when it embarrasses somebody else. 

Anywho, come playoffs we make it the championship, few close games but with all our guys we're pretty decent.  Then we e beat them handily the first two games, the second and third of which we played back to back on one night.  The whole time our team is always joking, drinking beer, having a good time.  Their bench is always just silent, maybe a few arguments with wives lol.  Between games Joel goes over to Cat, one of the umps who's been there longer than Joels been alive and starts giving him **** about how the game ball we used in the last inning was "punky", it should have been switched out, this and that, he then takes the ball and throws it as far as he can in the woods lol.  He got tossed for the next game, which he should have been.  There was bitching and moaning.  We shut them out in the third game lol.  He's not allowed to shake hands or go on the field so some of our guys go into the dugout, just to be nice.  Some of us like me and my uncle look at eachother and are like **** that.  Within minutes there whole bench is gone, save this one guy Aaron, he's a good guy, probably one of the few on their team, stayed and had a beer with us and chatted for a bit.  There's more  Afro

So theres quite a few of us there maybe 25-30 people in total, not even 15 minutes after the game is over one of our friends BJ is on his phone and starts saying how they're bitching about it....on facebook.  Theres a page for the league and there were essays written from some of these guys, not about our team, about how the umps wanted them to lose, everybody wanted them to lose, it was male cattle dung, the ball was rigged, we're not poor sports and don't like to ****, but thats obviously what we're doing lol that sort of stuff.  And we don't want to take anything away from St. Marys Livestock ( our team/ sponsor ), but that's not how we'd like to lose.  I have to give them credit because somehow they made that into multiple long worded essay like blogs on facebook, all within 15 minutes to an hour after the game. 

Besides BJ really, who doesn't play anymore, nobody else gives a ****, number of other people posted telling them of course everyone wanted them to lose, they were a bunch of toolbags and ran up the score on teams for no reason, and to just stfu, its mens softball. 

Well that's pretty much the story, not really that great.  They were some dooshnozzles though for sure.  I saw this one Jody kid, who also is maybe 5 feet tall, I say kid he's 35 maybe, from their team who I guess did a big rant on facebook in Price Chopper a few days later, he saw me gave me a hey zack...I gave him one of these  Angry Shocked Huh? , if you could combine those three looks along with a stop for a few seconds and move on.  They didn't enter a team this year, and some of the decent guys switched teams, Aaron plays with us out of town, and his in town team beat us last night for instance.

Played a game of that modified today, ball comes in pretty fast, wasn't expecting it lol.  Had to adjust my swing a little bit.  Just hope its not one of those things where I'm either good at one or the other at any given time.

Pitcher took one in the leg though lol

Well, finally played my first game last night. The umps didn't show though so we had to ump ourselves. It's not as much fun that way, but I think everyone called it pretty fairly. I made sure I got everything into the first game....struck out, hit a grand slam, made a couple errors in the field, etc. It was a cold night too. Anyway, I'm hoping I can level out the playing a little. It was nice to get a homer in the first game, but the guy kind of laid it in there because it was a 3-0 count....I wasn't taking a pitch with bases loaded Evil  What sucks is that the balls are changing (won't go as far), so unless we buy some new super bats, there may be no homers in our future (in mine anyway).
