Poor poor showing, by the boys of Preffered Towing

Brutal, just plain nasty.

I entered our Slow-Pitch team in a tournament for the weekend that just passed. There were 15 teams and it was a double knock out style. We got knocked out.

The first game was brutal. The team we played were obviously good. This was decided as we watched select players put on the tape. Taping ankles an wrists. These boys were here to play ball. I think they stopped trying after their 40th run. We managed 6. The second game wouldn't be until 5, so we returned to our campsite for some eats and a few beer. At 5 we took to the field against a put together team of Native Canadians. In my experience these are always tough teams to play because there is no quit in their play or their mouths.

It was a heated battle and some good ball was played on both sides, but in the end we failed to make up the 4 run deficit with our last at bat. It was a good game though.

Egos bruised and some players walking off injuries (Sidenote: Eeyore sprained an ankle the night before in a non-baseball related tumble down a ditch near our campsite, alcohol may have been a factor), we generally felt we had beaten ourselves... again.

Looking forward... Tonight we start round robin play for our Men's service league playoffs. With the Preferred towing team looking for revenge after losing 4 in a row recently (including weekend debacle). Our first game is against a team we have lost to twice, but really really should not have. The "A" game is also expected to make an appearance.
