My Life Is Ruined
For those of you who don’t know, I play/coach for our church softball team in an Industrial League (note: not a church league). We have fun for the most part….and that’s about it. We haven’t won a game…yet, and we are over half way through our 16 game season. We have had some close games and we have also been blown out….way out. Last night, we played our 11th game of the season and we were destroyed despite what was a good effort by our team in the most part. But even more disappointing, was the end of my 1.000 (that’s perfect) batting average. That’s right, yours truly has batted 1.000 until I…wait for it…..struck out looking last night. Ready…1,2,3…aawwwwwww. I was rather upset at what was, in my honest opinion, a bad call. I had already fouled one ball off in right field, then the next pitch came and it was flat, a definite ball, so I let it go to hear the Ump behind me go SSSTTTRRRIIIKKKKEEEE! I almost kicked dust on him. Then, to top the night off, I was playing right field (like a cat, mind you) and a ball got by me resulting in…wait for it…an INSIDE the park home run. Ready…1,2,3…aawwwwww. I know…my life is ruined.

Bad call? That’s what you should say for striking out looking in SLOW pitch softball! And what type of cat was that – blind, paralytic, dead? Your life should be ruined after that type of game! By the way watch out for flying clipboards Bobby Knight!

Dude, “The Manly Man”’s remarks were a bit harsh! I still love you even though you struck out looking in softball! And I still have nothing but love for you even if you run like a cat that has already been to the taxidermist. You are “awesome” Chris, never forget that!
