I rarely talk to strangers, but she's so pretty.

Softball today was a complete disaster. Well, not a complete disaster. We had a nice final inning. Good hitting, timely fielding. But the rest of the game we pretty much stank up the joint. But that's not the entire reason it was a bust. We were playing against a team who was shamelessly sandbagging, playing in the 'A' division (the least-competitive division) when they clearly belong in the 'AA' or 'AAA' division. Also, they were complete jerks. Twice they didn't wait for our fielders to get back into position before pitching (you pitch to your own team in our league). The second time, after we politely asked them to wait, the asshole who was pitching said something disparaging like, "well, none of the other teams care." Dude, gimme a break! You were leading like 20-1 at that point! You can't wait two seconds?

Then, at one point, I was running from first to second when this second basewoman attempted to tag me out in the middle of the baseline giving me nowhere to run, but right into her. So I did, and she fell over. I immediately started apologizing profusely (even though it wasn't my fault) but she stays pissed, throws some shit on the ground, starts cursing. What bullshit! Again, you people are clearly destroying us. Must you act like children, too?

Ugh. Well, the upshot is we're 0-2. We had a nice last inning, so we have something to build on. But we need to do a lot of building.

I can't resist. Here's an awesome picture of Prince:

C'mon, double D. Isn't it really the case that Brink is your baserunning coach and is teaching you how to snowplow the basepersons?
