Hurray!!!! Gotta love a good win!
OMG we had such a fricking great night tonight! Our men of Summer (DH's beer ball team)had a nine pm game. AND THEY WON!! Score Good Guys 18, Bad Guys (the jackasses that win the whole thing most years) 15 (see stats at http://www.mgdnsa.com/CopShopStats.html) This was an exciting victory!! Damn was there a case of beer on this one????
MVP goes to our star Pitcher tonight! 7 Strike outs! Yay Ralph! Everyone was hitting and all played well and the fans cheered relentlessly!
Anyway,I hate late games! DH works nights and he really feels guilty taking time off work (which his work allows) to play ball and his guilt is doubled when he thinks his boys might just need him. DH's inconsistent bunting (that's what we call his type of hitting, tee hee)and his commitment to his guys (running to first is a commitment for him!) put him in an unenviable state that we his loving family insist on helping him out with by going to the games to watch, keep score, and yell at the guys to get "Your heads outta your asses" and "Just play the game, you're old! You are not SUPERSTARS!. This is definately my type of encouragement and it works much better than the kind words of encouragement that must be used with small easily influenced children around! Over the years the bulk of our games have been Sunday afternoons or 7pm on Monday or Tuesday. Only a few of these late night games get tossed in to upset the fans, having young school aged children makes it difficult for the whole family to come out and cheer on the men. This puts a heavy burden on the Fat Chick (me) and her offspring (the 3 DD's)! Trying to keep the guys pumped up and keep score and remain relatively unoffensive (a chore at best for me, some nights!) DH is a commited kind of guy and he's been playing with the same base gang for a few years now. The men are wonderfully funny and they have great families that over the years we've come to know and love!
If you check out the website you'll see pics of all the guys and their fans! Check it out and pray for our Boys of Summer to improve their win/loss ratio!
