Return of Softball

The fine fellows of the Gordon's Bitewings softball killing squad invited me to join them for a one-day tournament up at Greenlake last Saturday.

Arrived at 8:45 am with plenty of sunscreen applied
9:00-10:15 Won our first game easily
10:15-12:30 Used break time to go to Blue Star for "breakfast" consisting of one bloody mary.
12:45-2:00 Won second game easily
2:00-3:15 Used break time to drink PBR, BBQ Boca Brauts over portable gas grill... delicious.
3:15-4:30 Won third game easily
4:30-4:45 Drank PBR
4:45-6:00 Won semifinal playoff game easily
6:00-6:15 Drank more PRB
6:15-7:15 Won final game easily

Spent almost 10 hours in the sunshine. Pitched five games of softball. Helped team win second consecutive trophy. Won commemorative tee shirt.

Two days later, I hurt all over.

Dude! You rolled in like Alexander The Great! Did you steal their Rosario Dawsons and burn their baseball bats in a victory pyre?

Yes, all their Rosario Dawsons are belong to us.

I dunno, sounds like you had it too easy. Were you playing, like, little kids or something?

Sounds like you guys were a bit like the American Olympic softball team. Be careful, your sport might just get voted out of the games.

Move to Next Level:

-Tequila shooters between games;
-Baselines 120 ft. long;
-Pitched balls sometimes explode when hit;
-at Hits, wild hyenas released to acompany base runs;
-Runners are not "tagged" out; they are bludgeoned to death;
-Bases are invisible;

Good luck.
