Softball Losses with Good Playing

[kybearfuzz]

I had a softball game late last night. I saw who we were playing, a really good team with cute guys, and thought "well, it'll be a night of fielding practice for us..." I put on my best game face and went out on the field.

And it was mainly fielding practice for the most part, but my team actually played really well. I myself got a couple of really decent hits, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. When the expectation is that we aren't going to win anyway, the pressure is really off.

My favorite play of the night was by our new first baseman, a lady named Mary who recently had a baby. She is a very good player, but one of the throws to first fell a bit short, so she literally did the splits to catch the ball. One foot on the base, the other outstretched, and she caught the ball and the runner was out.

Everyone on both teams yelled in AMAZEMENT!!! I loved it and wished I had my camera ready!

We lost 13-3, but no one left there feeling bad. This is what softball is supposed to be like.

I am so glad that you are having so much more fun this season with this team. You are right. That is what softball is supposed to be like!!!!!

Oh if I had my cell phone handy... but it's not convenient while playing catcher. :D

So are you enjoying playing catcher more than right field?

I like playing catcher more, but I admit I get more exercise in the field.

Sucks to lose, BUT you had fun! Glad that it's working out that way.

Thanks handsome! I wish you were nearby to see us play. I think you'd enjoy it.

You know I don't follow sportsball games, but I'm glad you had a good time, and hope you get a touch-down and win a round some day soon.

I'm hoping to score a field goal soon! :)

I'm really glad you are having a lot more fun with softball this year. My team had one of those amazing games last weekend, and even if we hadn't pulled a win out of the fire (we almost always don't) we still would have had a great time.

I wanna see you do the splits.

LOL... but would you want to see me in the ambulance afterward?
