Game One

Well softball season is under way and I am happy to report that my team won our home opener and not only do we have a one game winning streak we are also undefeated. It wasnt looking good as we were trailing 11-6 after four innings played, but sixteen unanswered runs sealed the deal for the Scrubs winning 22-11. About the name. I hate it. It always brings the obvious questions from the opposing team of whether we are...

a) Doctors
b) TLC groupies
c) The Zach Braff Fan Club

Truth is Im dont know where the name comes from and havent been satisfied with the answer Ive been told so I just show up play ball, kick ass, and chew gum. Its not the name that makes the team, but the team that makes the name...blah blah blah. I will add however that one of the more original and clever team names I have heard is "With Ourselves", as in...

"What are you doing tonight"
"I got a softball game"
"Oh yeah. Who you playing?"
"Were playing With Ourselves"


Juvenile, I know, but I got a kick out if it. Anyways final box score...

Donkey:
(WP 1-0 7.94 ERA)
4-5 (2B-2)

Runs: 3
RBI: 5

LOB: 2
Dugout Smokes: 2
Pints: 10

Wings: 7

Vicodins: 1

Next game is Thurs at the North Meadow. Tix available at box office now. Its Warlike bobble head night so get there early.

what? no donkey or fly bobbleheads?

Yeah, because its great the way those ceramic bobbleheads fly aroud. And did I mention how easily the morons pop their heads off?

And I love that my last bobblehead has "Long John Silver's" across the front. because we all want shitty fast food advertising on our sports memorabilia.

Good for you, Donkeyhue. Athletic men kick ass and leave you the hell alone for many hours, especially if you can encoruage them to suggest wings and beer after to prolong their absence.

Mets/Yankees this weekend...Hopefully we're still in first place.

Just a sidenote but Donkey is also the reigning wiffle ball home run derby champion. It was close but the pitches I was lobbing him were even fatter than the pitches he was tossing my way!

I was waiting to repond to your question Anita as I was giving Rhino and WL a golden opportunity to mock the Fly and mine's big irish noggins.

Lil I agree. Its a win win. We get our "guy" time away from the women and you get to spend quality time with the pool boy.

Fly it looks like we get Pedro on Saturday...DONT BE LATE (you ever get your Luzinksi bobblehead from your bachelor party?)

I have had mine since that day...I think it was probably my bros bobbles as they'd lose their asses if they weren't attached to their faces.

I'll be on time...I say we BBQ before the game. I'll talk to ya'.

i just read that an excess of testosterone supresses the immune system ... which explains what lily is talking about ... if you get my drift.

anyway ... i don't have a pool boy. maybe it's because i don't have a pool. i need to move to suburbia.
