Loyal Reader(s):
My deepest apologies for the lack of posts this week. Since I've only managed to make 14 cents off of this site, because you schmucks won't click on the little Google advertisements at the bottom, I've been forced to go out and get a real job -- and it's consumed my soul (not in a good horror movie kind of way). I'm working through my first of several 13 hour days, splitting time between two jobs, and I haven't had much time to post.
No matter, because I really don't have all that much to say. We are preparing for an excellent weekend of softball, so there will be much more to discuss after Sunday. I will, however, be posting something, I don't know what yet, on Saturday, as I have the day off. My apologies for my lack of coherence; I'm not altogether there today.
For those of you with jobs. Quit them. Jobs are lame. For those of you without jobs, I envy you -- the way the breeze blows freely through your hair as you sit on the couch, watching Step-By-Step reruns and consuming massive amounts of powdered-cheese-products. The way you get by stealing stray coins and unchewed BubbleYum© from you're girlfriend's fanny-pack. The way you lie about there being a roach in your Pizzeria Unos Meatza Pizza Pizza-Skins© in order to get a free Deep-Dish Sundae© dessert treat.... Keep living the dream, my friends. Keep on livin it.
Anyway...
So here's a note to those of you who have lost and whose seasons are now complete:
First of all, thank you. If you're reading this, I'm assuming it's not the first time, so thanks for reading my ridiculous thoughts. I hope you enjoyed them and that I brought a little ray of absurd sunshine into your barely tolerable lives. Maybe I even helped a few of you prolong your inevitable leap(s) off of the K Street Bridge. I'm not saying I'm a hero or anything, but let's call a spade a spade....
Secondly, thank you for a great season. Most of you, and I really mean almost every single team, was week-in and week-out an absolute pleasure to work with. I had a great time this season and I really enjoyed meeting you all.
And to those of you who were not awesome...we'll you're probably not reading this, and I probably won't ever see you again...so screw it.
Okay, so you've lost and you're done for the year. What now? Well of course there's always the end of the season party, which with my Survival Guide (soon to be posted) will be more fun than a forest fire! But that's like weeks away....
Until then, I strongly encourage you, please, come out and watch some playoff games. Not only will the weather be beautiful, and you'll get to hang out with yours truly, but there really will be some awesome games coming up -- they only get better the further into the playoffs we get! Plus, you'll get to know some of your league-mates. Become friends with a rival team. Chat about your experiences with a fellow new team. Or just come to watch how great co-ed softball can look with a season or two under your belts! It's really fun, and we have a lot of teams that are worth getting to know. Come out, bring some red-cupped beverages, and enjoy the sunshine and the glorious ting of double-walled bat on Trump compressed ball.
To those still playing : You shouldn't be reading this. It's two days till game time...you should be watching film, running wind sprints, and shadow-batting.
I must say, however, I was disappointed with the reports I heard regarding the Swingers and Perfect Strangers performances. Did my votes of confidence in the Prediction Showcase mean NOTHING to you all?!?!? Coming out flat in the playoffs is inexcusable. What are you, the Cowboys???
If you want to win this league, you have to come focused, every week. Sure, you need to have a good time, but how do you have a good time popping-up and throwing the ball around?
If one's effort and focus can be questioned so early in the playoffs, what chance does one stand against the league's best? None. Anyway, I'm done wagging my finger, but I hope to see a few teams out there this week early and practicing.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have 3 hours left to work, so I'm taking a nap in the basement. Good luck to all teams this weekend.
- Play ball!
ps, thanks to, who I'm assuming was Maria voting 4 times, saying that my absence was the worst part of last week's games.
