It's been a while
So it's been like a day or two since I last fired off a post. I don't think it matters as in no one reads this shit anyways.Last night was a total debacle. We played the team that has beaten us twice and we got beat a third time (imagine that) 13-7. Twin 1 was out in right and he couldn't have caught a cold. Twin 2 has to turn to learn to turn his glove over to catch. Neither one is what you could call an asset at the plate. If I would have to guess, they've got a combined average of about .150. The Mendoza line for softball is .300. These two couldn't hit .300 even if they drew it in the dirt and took turns whacking at it with a stick. I spent the first game behind the place catching Timmy. That's not that big of deal except that I can actually catch and I know how to have Tim pitch to certain hitters. Plus I'm always bullshitting with the umps which can give us the benefit of the doubt in a really close play or maybe some added leeway when it comes to some of the hotheads.
The next game Case put me at second. I felt pretty good about my performance considering it had been a year and a half since I had played second. However, we got flat drilled 20-9. Oh well, it was fun to play some fall ball. It sounds like we could get into a tourney the first week of November.
Dammit, I'm ready for this supposed cold snap. Let it get here. If the weather forecast holds up, it sounds like I'll be wearing a sweatshirt and jeans to the game tomorrow. Perhaps a jacket may be in the works as temps are supposed to be falling all day. That will be absolutely wonderful. I suppose the press box won't be too bad. I do expect to see blankets and gloves out considering that it's supposed to be a stiff, stiff north wind. Let it come I say, let it come. Without a doubt, fall is my favorite season. The colors, the weather, the sports, how can you beat it? Maybe by having someone to snuggle up with?
Nah. That won't be happening. I guess I'll just have to wait for pheasant season.
