I have no idea trout, but I did come across this article on the Mariners site. Apparently Reitsma is MIA for some reason from the Mariners since March 29th.

Mariners manager John McLaren said on Friday night that he has not heard from Reitsma since he left.
"I would think he's home now and evaluating the situation, but hopefully, he'll come back," McLaren said.

I think the guy I was talking to said Reitsma is retired.

Maybe the other guy was Ryan Radmonovich?

I blame Locke, he definitely didn't come to the game prepared and on top of that he bailed early! We should have made him keep the pink scarf.

Yeah, I was talking to him while he was on base.

CR: Hey, I'm Chris Reitsma, dont you recognize me?
Locke: Sorry, I dont follow professional bowling.

Sorry Beaker, you earned it. And I'm sorry I couldnt make it to the pub, trust me I'd have rather been there.

First run in franchise history: troutman

First RBI in franchise history: Locke

Bill Masterton award: Aeneas for hobbling out to Pete's Pub - try the pizza sub with perogies!
You forgot:

Most Foul Hits by a Single Player: rubecube.

Most Kiprusoffarian Save: Rinkrat with an amazing flash of the leather from the mound on a hard drive. Seriously. NHL Goaltenders would kill for a glove hand like that.

Oh yeah, Beaker!! I can't take that title from flamesinyoureyes though, the ball hit me in the chest. I guess you could call me "Chesty" but that's entirely your choice.

I think it goes without saying that we as a team need some serious work on this whole "catching" voodoo.

Someone tell Kelly Hrudy there's a faster glove than Roloson.

We all expect nothing less, especially if there's a rematch.

How do you go from the majors to beer league softball and not get heinously ribbed the entire time? I mean, unless he was hitting 400 foot home runs on each at bat or something. It's not like he's going to mow down your lineup with his awesome heater.

I went to jr high with him. His family lives in the area as does his wife's family. I think he's retired and has returned to Calgary. A bunch of his friends started that team a few years ago and likely salivated at the idea of finally getting him on their team. He's a good guy.

Well, then making fun of him won't be as much fun if he's a good guy.

No... Making fun of him wouldn't be fun because he's 6'5" and 240lbs.

With a bad elbow. If you get in trouble, go for the arm bar.

Hey, I TOLD you guys the Sunday night league was more competitive. I am just surprised there were ONLY two ex-MLB players out there against you.

There's a big difference between playing a competitive team and playing the Seattle Mariners farm team.
