No Italian last night (again) and no workout this morning. Ugh! For a while there I was like a smoothly spinning top, and now I’ve been knocked off balance somehow and can’t quite get back into the swing of it. But I’m trying. It’s been a productive morning so far, but it gets a little…
That’s right, we won our first softball game last night, and not by forfeit either. We played the full 7 innings and the final score was 14-11. Our offense showed up but do did our defense. Two innings in a row, we held the other team to one-two-three innings. In fact, in the fourth inning,…
We have our first softball game today. I usually put together the line-ups, and I try and start off each season with a clever message to the team that illustrates the fun nature of team.
I try and tie up some loose ends before I stop working for the day, but today I might as well be herding kittens. I finally get out of the office at 4 PM and realize that I don’t have any water for the gym, so I pick up some water. I get to the…
We lost our softball game tonight, and it was a doozy. Aside from the fact that it was close to 100 around game time (it did cool off as thunderstorms moved into the area), the team we played (Senator Grassley from Iowa) was clearly one of the better teams in the league. I had a…
Here is a great picture of the team after the game last night. We play on the National Mall, and yes, that is the U.S. Capitol building in the background. From left-to-right, back row: Jeremy (SF), Lou (kneeling) (1B), me (SS), Drew (2B), Rob (CF), Casey (standing) (LF) Front row, seated: Colby (3B), Kristy (P),…
Well, we lost another softball game, but this time it was close. The final score was 20-17 and it was back and forth all the way. Our team played really hard and should be proud. I went 3-5 and played short the whole game. I had a four or five chances and made some decent…
We have three games left in the season beginning to night, and I’m itching for a win. We have 2 games next week, so if we can we all three, we’ll do alright this season.
We were scheduled to have a softball game tonight in Anacostia, but because of the dangerously excessive heat, the game was rescheduled until 2 weeks from today. Our last three games of the season are all pretty close together. Seeing as how I was going to be out late for softball, I decided to stay…
We were playing short one player so we had to take an automatic out each time that slot came up. Naturally, that was a liability we couldn’t afford. Overall we played well, with several 1-2-3 innings and a couple of good plays, but we couldn’t get offensive rally’s going with the automatic out.
I’m about to change into my softball uniform, in preparation for our game tonight. We had to scrape for players, but I managed to get us a couple at the last minute so we have a full lineup. We are playing a team that’s 3-1 and we are 1-4, but I go into every game…
We won our first softball game today by the depressing silly method of having the other team forfeit several hours before the game started. They just couldn’t put a team together. So we are now officially 1-4, although I still count us as 0-4 because to me, a forfeit isn’t an earned win. It really…
