during the softball game at my department's "Summer Soiree". Unfortunately we still lost though.

The research department took on the research financing department. A few cute girls played, in fact I shared my glove with one. Unfortunately they were all on the other team except for one. Talked to one afterwards that went to ECU and for some reason was wearing a Delta Chi shirt.

I had a sick slide into 2nd to keep the inning alive and ended up scoring on the next batter's single. It got a cheer from some of my co-workers that were spectating.

I just wanted you all to know about my outstanding athletic performance in a non-serious company softball game.

i had two outfield assists in softball last week. and drove in a run with a sac fly. unfortunately i struck out looking, but the ump just couldn't tell that it was like 23 inches off the plate.

5/20/2009 5:48:20 PM

I scored on an empty net once.

5/20/2009 5:49:45 PM

OMG it's a real life 'Softball guy'! And I thought he only lived out in So-Cal with Romey.

KNIBB HIGH FOOTBALL RULES!!

In Little League I came in relief in the top of the final inning and struck out the side with the bases loaded (we were down one). Then hit an inside the park home-run in the bottom of the inning to win the game (first round of playoffs).

Highlight of my little league career.

Don't have a highlight of my adult career yet.

5/20/2009 6:27:28 PM

I once drew lines in the dirt in pre-school level tee-ball.
But it didn't matter because no one ever actually made it over to third base.

striking out in slowpitch softball = you owe a case of beer

5/21/2009 12:05:09 AM

I once made a three-point shot cold in high school PE

they called me Compton because of it

then I revealed my true white boy status for the rest of the semester, but the name stuck

5/21/2009 12:36:36 AM

i once called a three pointer in 9th grade pe which we had with pe3 which was all junior jocks

5/21/2009 12:51:41 AM

I threw a no hitter in HS without striking out a single batter


I was the Derek Lowe of my day

5/21/2009 12:55:41 AM

i once hit for the cycle in kickball in elementary school

5/21/2009 1:01:50 AM

I once hit a single that turned into a HR from 3 unforced errors in a row when I was playing Coach pitch baseball in 6th grade.

5/21/2009 11:52:27 AM

You played coach pitch in 6th grade?

5/21/2009 11:54:11 AM

Haha... I was in my first year in the "Majors" in Little League at that age (I was young for my grade). Milford Giants! Our All-Star team got bombarded that year. Lost something like 9-0 and 8-1. The 9-0 game I was the only to get on base and it was a HBP...

5/21/2009 1:32:19 PM

I was about that age pitching when I threw a high one that the catcher completely missed and it hit the ump square in the throat and he fell on the ground

I remember our coach ( who was my friends college-age brother) running out and doing the Heimlich on him till someone yelled out "He's not choking, dumbass" hahaha

5/21/2009 1:38:20 PM

^^I was in Babe Ruth League when I was 14, we were losing 21-0 with 2 outs in the 5th (after which they would call mercy rule)...and the pitcher had a perfect game going against us. So I leaned into one and took it for the team. The next guy hits it straight to the right fielder but the guy drops it, and I scored from first to ruin the shutout.

5/21/2009 1:45:02 PM

wow this thread went from lame to extremely lame quick

5/21/2009 1:51:47 PM

I'm playing in my first HFL (Harris Football League) game today. I'll report back tomorrow on my triumphs or failures.

5/21/2009 2:09:20 PM

stats from my softball league

5/21/2009 2:22:54 PM

lol at Name 5. It's fucking slow pitch softball. Swing the fucking bat. I'll be damned if I ever draw a non-intentional walk in a damn beer league softball game.

5/21/2009 2:24:09 PM

hahaha the homeless man's Kevin Youkilis

5/21/2009 2:32:14 PM

^^ name5 is one of our best girl hitters

5/21/2009 2:36:38 PM

oh you play coed

I'm not a fan of coed

then you can't call someone a cunt when they strike out

well I suppose you could, but it wouldn't go over as well

5/21/2009 2:42:27 PM

^^ Looks like she is more like your best walker.

But, yeah, co-ed softball was fun when I played... It's more chill than a bunch of dudes trying to prove they can still hack it in baseball...

5/21/2009 3:08:32 PM

^heh when she gets a pitch that is

my wife's on the team as well - it's a bunch of our friends so we all give each other hell

i'm missing our game tonight against the #1 team in the league tho

5/21/2009 3:12:15 PM

Is name 17 really that bad?

5/21/2009 3:15:16 PM

I'm a slow-pitch umpire around here and I was in Apex last week, and some dumbass high-school kid playing in an adult league refused to swing the bat. I think he swung once the entire night (whiffing of course), with 1 walk and 3 times he struck out looking. It was hilarious as I kept calling strikes on him and his dugout screaming at him to swing. The last time he struck out looking to end the game, with his team down by 1 and a runner on 2nd.

5/21/2009 3:17:17 PM

special ed league or was he just looking for the perfect pitch

5/21/2009 3:19:18 PM

^^ she's a pretty good fielder and a decent hitter in practice - just chokes in games

5/21/2009 3:19:44 PM

I'll make her choke alright.

5/21/2009 3:25:54 PM
