Boys of summer


Ball season starts today. The Preffered Towing 2-pitch team will be re-christened Puck Around. The local sports pub (and I mean local, they are across the streeet from the ball diamonds.... Tuesdays are going to suck) sponsored us with some new shirts and hats, not to mention munchies and beer after the games... Tuesdays are going to suck.

We dropped a few players and added a few, somehow I slid through the process, I think it might be because my buddy runs the team, and I look after the beer fund. The politics in 2-pitch beer league baseball are callous. I'd like to thank...

So a new look team with the same old adage: "We don't have to win them all, but if we lose to the boys from the Jail, we're all doing pushups until we vomit." - Pollo

Or the ever popular: "Anybody who flies out, puts 5$ in the kitty... for beer". - Eeyore

Then there's: "Whatever.": - Steveo

But the most common quote among us fielders: "The lights were right in line with the ball and I lost it." - Jim(that'd be me), Wheels, Garry, J-Rod, SteveO, Bob, L.B., etc...

Things look good this year though, the weather is nicer and we a re playing double-headers all season. I like it a lot.

Check back tommorow for an update, I'll list the injuries I contract, aswell as whether we won or lost... depending on how bad. If nothing else.. I'll write about how many beer we went through... might make a better story after a long offseason (baseball, not beer drinking... never beer drinking).

Baseball cancelled, the city forgot to pay their power bill, no lights, no baseball... brutal.
