Good times even in losing

This weekend was filled with softball one tournament Saturday and one on Sunday. The weather was beautiful.....and that's about all the good things I have to say. We played in an organization in which we don't usually play and last year did really well so they moved us up higher than any other organization, which means the competition is really tough. Both tournaments were using this organization's rules, so at least there was consistency day to day. Though we won one game against a good team and had seventh inning leads against two others, we went 1-4 on the weekend. Not good, but it was mostly just good practice for us. Personally, I had an awful weekend hitting. The last two weeks finally caught up to me and my bat was a little slow. Time to hit the gym.

One thing that did happen was that instead of heading straight home after the games (about 45 minutes or so), I hung out with some of the guys and had a few beers in the parking lot. We tossed the football around and generally bull-shitted (bull-shat??). It was good fun. Normally I head home because it usually takes me longer to get home than most of the guys who live in the burbs (and the beer is usually Miller Lite....yech). But with the games relatively close and our days ending early, I stuck around. Good times.

Sorry to hear about the losses. The hanging-out afterwards sounds like fun though, and isn't that really what it's all about? The camaraderie?

(The word verification is "shotump." Would that have helped the games?)

As an added bonus, Getting to hang out with your teammates after the experience probably helped process any learning you might have done.

That is just damn funny Terri! "Shotump". And no, it wouldn't have helped.

Absolutely Shotump is what you needed to do to your opponents.
