Spent some much needed time at the batting cage tonight with great results. Feel like I really got things going again. (I've been scuffling a little bit, still getting on base, but not driving the ball at all.) Looking forward to playing this week!

Dierberg's carries it. I think most markets have it (if they have any kind of melon selection).

Well done, Burner. Well done indeed...

2-3 tonight in the losing effort. I worked hard this week on improving my power stroke, each AB was a spot that needed a hit dropped in. Oh well...

Hey all!

Just got back from my trip to Cleveland/Cooperstown/NYC. I'll fill in details later on and share some pics. I had some great food and a great time.

Also, with the time off, I am more rested and ready to get back into the gym. Feels good to be home!

Welcome back !! Love to see those pics!

OK, here is the rundown on yesterday.....

Had to play a double header in two locations. First game (6pm) went well, 2-3, 1R. 10 run rule after 5.

Got to the second game just before start. (Not just me, but the way. Our fall league is overlapping our spring league.) We are playing a team for the 3rd time in 4 games, and they are the most irritating team in the league. They constantly complain about everything, and not in a friendly way. No fun at all.

We jumped out to a lead, and were up by 8 or 9 in the second inning. At that point, their 1B tells me (out of nowhere) that we clearly stacked our team, and if I denied it I was a liar. This was apparently based on having a different catcher than last week (she was having surgery, first game missed all year), and a different shortstop. (I found that funny, since I was playing SS, and our SS was at 1B, and this was apparently upsetting to them.) We did have a couple of subs, but the majority of our team was the regulars. When I pointed these things out, his response was something along the lines of "Whatever. I don't want to talk about it." I asked why he brought it up, then, and he said he didn't. Whatever.

Next inning, their 2B was on my ass constantly. Can't hit, can't field, no range...I'm not denying any of these, by the way...but it was pretty clear that she didn't like me (for whatever reason) and seemed unhappy that her chirping didn't bother me more.

Next inning, I was sitting on the bench when she popped out to second. I gave a little back as she went past. ("Really knocked the snot out of that one!") She turned and started screaming obscenities at me.

Now, I have little respect for people who want to dish, but can't take a little smack talk their way. I also take exception to personal attacks on the field, and got up to discuss this with the umpire (who has apologized to our team about their team after every game.) Our left fielder's wife, however, took exception to the language being used in front of her kids, who were sitting on the bench. That's when things took a turn...

She stepped onto the field to voice her displeasure, while our captain and I started to talk with the ump. Their SS ran up to her (the wife) and got in her face and started screaming at her. Her husband (the biggest and strongest guy on our team) charged their player, and was only kept from beating the snot out of him by some fast reaction by our other players. We had three guys holding him back, and not by much. (He's protective, as you may imagine.) So the benches cleared, our team holding back one guy, their team all trying to get at him and screaming at the ump. Good times.

Once everyone was separated (a good 5 minute process), they had a bunch of players tossed, we had one. (They found this unfair. Go figure.) Then they wanted to protest the game (no problem, we said, just pay your $100 fee at the counter) and a roster check ($40 more). Then they started going after the ump. Games on the other fields were all stopped as the other 3 umps tried to help out.

In the end, we let our guy know we had no intention of taking the field with them again, and were not planning to come back for the last 4 weeks. (The other team seemed pleased to get the forfeit win, which should tell you something.) As we were packing, our ump was starting to threaten to have some of their players arrested if they didn't leave the field, which they were not doing. He and the head ump both came over an apologized to us, and thanked us for how we handled the situation. Then their SS had a few more words for us, which led to our LF going after him again, and having to pull him off the field.

As we were leaving, we counted at least 3 squad cars, one mounted cop (on horseback, seen only in the park) and a police van all pulling up onto the field. I haven't heard if anything happened, since we were in the parking lot and on our way out by that time. Suffice it to say, I don't think we'll be playing there again.

I just don't get how people can want to play this game, yet derive so little pleasure from it. What's the point?

Update....the woman who started the scrum has been suspended, and the umpire has been pulled from the league. (We were asked to come back, but declined.)

There is no place for that in sports, no less "for fun" leagues like the ones you play in. You played the situation exactly as you should have, which is normally great in that situation, but that little voice in the back of my head wishes your teammate got to slaughter that kid for getting in his wifes face.

Totally uncalled for and again, well played on your part, P.

Thanks. (By the way, it wasn't a kid. Guy was 30 at least. He should have known better.)
