BillsFanNC Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 haha i know the feeling. our co-ed teams are never very good, now that 2 good girls moved out fo town. The worst is, as you say, not just losing, but being frustrated dealing with 6 errors every inning. We got our asses kicked yesterday for that reason. But i did score from 3rd holding a beer. 722976[/snapback] If beer was allowed that would have helped. I chose not to play on the company team this year and have just stuck with the league in the town I live in. We still suck, but that league has hotter women.

Summer league will have its share of hotties, but by far the hottest girls play in FSU intramural softball

Ramius Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 Alcohol and no umps? Hmmm.....any fights? 722987[/snapback] well, technically we arent allowed beer, but with no one there to enforce it, no one cares. Our team seems to play better after a few beers anyway. most people are just there for fun, so theres no fights, altho we almost got into 1 last nite. The other team was up by about 15 or 20 or so, and we thought it was over, but according to them, we had 1 more inning. Then their dickhead coach goes..."oh, we went through the order 1 inning and batted so long, so you probably thought that was 2 innings" fuggin a-hole.
5 Wide Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 co-ed leagues..thumbs down 722989[/snapback] Couldn't agree more
Beerball Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 The dog days of summer are upon us...Who's playing ball? My squad (the Rat Bastards) is 9-7 and making our playoff push. We are in 4th place out of 10 teams, 8 make the playoffs. Big game tonight against the 1st place team, and it is a steamer in the Buffalo-area. Better bring some extra beers! Seriously, after playing hardball my whole life, I just started playing softball two years ago, and it is great. I love our team because everyone plays to win, but if we don't win, nobody gets torn up about it. You could show up 10 minutes after a game finishes and you wouldn't be able to tell whether we won or lost. Everybody's just drinking and joking and shooting the schit. Tell me about your squads, your stats, your beer drinking exploits, the guy on your team whose girlfriend comes to every game and has huge breasts, etc. SLOW PITCH SOFTBALL KICKS ASS!!! 722661[/snapback] 8 of 10 teams make the playoffs? Not very elitist thinking for such elite atheletes.
BillsFanNC Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 co-ed leagues..thumbs down 722989[/snapback] Normally I'd agree, but it's my only option available. When I lived in WNY I played in three different mens leagues every summer. I miss it. Back in college I filled in one week playing on a co-ed team and ended up breaking a girl's arm that was playing third base with a batted ball. After that I vowed that I'd never play co-ed again. I went back on it, but I only take half swings now.
smokinandjokin Posted July 14, 2006 Author Posted July 14, 2006 8 of 10 teams make the playoffs? Not very elitist thinking for such elite atheletes. 722993[/snapback] I hear that. I guess some people made a stink because last year only four teams made it in. I dunno, I guess if it keeps everyone in the hunt and prevents teams from leaving the league (which has been a problem in the past) then it's good. There's two 5-team divisions, so the playoffs are set up as crossover series, i.e. #1 from the Labatt division plays #4 from the Molson division, and so on...

You are put into a 6 team division, and we have a 10 game season. You play each eam once (5 games), and then they re-organize the divisionss depending on how you finished, winning moves you up, etc. Then you play the second half of the season (5 games) in your new division. For the "championship", its the first half winner of your current division vs the second half winner. So theoretically 1 team can win 2 divisions in a single season.
smokinandjokin Posted July 14, 2006 Author Posted July 14, 2006 As a sidenote, a friend of mine has a small gig printing t-shirts, etc. Another of my buddies is leaving town, he just finished law school, so we are having a big going away bash for him. I found a hilarious picture of him half-naked, very drunk, and caressing a stripper at a stag, so I had that screened onto t-shirts that about 50 people will be wearing at his party. Anyways, while I was at my friend's shop getting the t-shirts made, he had some of his other work hanging around. He made jerseys for a softball team, and they were hilarious. The team's name was the Lionel Richie Fan Club, and the jerseys had an outstanding, circa 1981 photo of Lionel Richie on them. I was dying.
taterhill Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 we have been known to root for our own players to K late during a blowout...more beer more beer more beer.... also we were playing in a beer league hockey tourney last year in Rochester....tourney rule...first person to get a penalty has to drink a boiled 24 oz Natty Light....middle of the 2nd period of our 2nd game(10AM Saturday start)..we are all hung over and getting whupped by what seemed to be the Russian Red Army Team...no smiles, no fun on their bench...well one of our guys gives up the puck, and has to pull down the guy to avoid a breakaway...our entire bench erupts in cheers..we were losing like 9-1...it was friggin hilarious...these guys were looking at us like we were crazy.....
