How many teams are there?

FireFly · 03-15-2008, 07:40 PM

Just the two. One that will play at Optimist Park on Sundays, the SW team; and one that will play weeknights at Crescent Heights School or in Marlborough.

My drinking team has a slopitch problem!

I charge Locke with providing the condensed version.

10.... freakin'.....30

....AM....

I swear, if I am going to set my alarm clock for this, and no one is there but a big hairy Aeneas and myself....

... someone will pay. Oh yes, you'll pay. One hundred billion dollars.

FireFly · 03-16-2008, 08:38 AM

I'll be there! Getting ready now!

Resolute 14 · 03-16-2008, 08:40 AM

As will I. I've even got a softer softball to spare Ae-ne-as' poor little bats.

Resolute 14 · 03-16-2008, 08:42 AM

And 10:30 in the freaking morning wouldn't be so bad if you weren't up posting at 3:30 in the freaking morning!

SportsJunky · 03-16-2008, 08:54 AM

Have fun kids.

KevanGuy · 03-16-2008, 09:31 AM

Im out.

Cowboy89 · 03-16-2008, 09:43 AM

I'm out. Woke up with the flu. Not fun at all. Someone from the north/Central team pm me with an update if possible please?

Hey, I shaved...oh, you mean...

Likewise, I was up late, and would be perturbed to drive the length of the city (exageration) to be all alone up there with just Shawnski!

And, I saw In Bruges last night, so I am still in Crazed British Gangster mode. So beware.
Guess I have to leave now just to get there.

Snow Pitch II went well.
Eight attendees! Not bad for -10 and snowing.
By the time we were done (two hours later) it was clear blue sky and quite nice.

Two SW team members made the trek: Flameskickass and yours truly.

The central team was well represented by FireFly, Resolute, Fredr123, Kerplunk (I learned after, silly people using real names) and Gloria (not sure if shes a CPer.

Also there was Shawnski, who goes both ways.

How come we always have better attendance and weather when we practice in the south?

We will go back to St Gregory's/Optimist #5 for next week. Let's get all of Team Southwest out, and any central members who wish to attend.

FireFly · 03-16-2008, 03:56 PM

Well next week is Easter so I'm out, and I don't think the welt on the inside of my leg (yes, I'm well aware that it was a sno-pitch ball) will be gone by then, but we'll see. Was a good practice! Much fun! Drinking was also good! More! Again!

Gloria is not a CPer... she's a colleague of fredr's.

Resolute 14 · 03-16-2008, 08:27 PM

If next week is Sunday, I'll be out as well, unless you do it at 10:30 again. Hitmen playoffs, followed by Easter Sunday dinner.

FireFly · 03-17-2008, 09:02 AM

I'd just like to say that I know it was just a sno-pitch ball we were playing with yesterday when I decided to stop it with my leg, (I knew that then and didn't think it would hurt,) but I have a welt on the inside of my thigh from the damn thing! I thought for sure it would be gone when I woke up this morning, but alas.

Me Too!!
I don't have to work that Hitmen game.

Rhettzky · 03-17-2008, 09:26 AM

Yikes, 1pm is a little early for this Cowboy. But I guess for the sake of team unity I will make my best effort to be there.

Aeneas · 03-17-2008, 09:42 AM

Do the above three realize that it is Easter as mentioned above?
Doesn't faze me, I am as interested in the crucifixtion of religious leaders as the next guy; but it may cut into numbers.

Rhettzky · 03-17-2008, 09:47 AM

We celebrate the Greek easter more-so than this one. The only plans I have are an easter egg hunt that morning with Kaylee. I guess I am a maybe though because today is our due date and we still haven't had the baby yet.
