Round One

Thought of the Day... “Officials are the only guys who can rob you and then get a police escort out of the stadium.” -Ron Bolton

Well, after being rescheduled four times (I think), The Offspring’s team finally got to play in the playoff Round One game. It was 7:30pm on Sunday. Was originally supposed to be 4pm on Friday - rescheduled for 4pm Saturday - then rescheduled for 4pm Sunday and then finally 7:30pm - the other team refused to play on our field.

Also, it was getting dark, COLD AND RAINY... The fields were 100% AstroTurf. I’d never seen an AstroTurf softball field. Note this... rain and AstroTurf do NOT go well... super slippery... infield balls are very hard to handle.

Back to the game... it was 0-0 through the regulation game (7 innings)...

Want to know the super cool thing thing about the night? We were in the top of the 8th The Offspring was up first - she hit a soooo SWEET hit right down the first base line out to the corner! WOW! She got a double and eventually her “hit” turned into our one and only point.

(I won’t get started on how they cheated us out another point - Ump made a bad call -- he called a girl out with 2 strikes - IDIOT! Today’s Thought of the Day is a reminder that I’m lucky I didn’t get kicked out!)

ANYWAY... WE WON 1-0!!

Oh yeah... SillyOne looks pretty reserved in the above photo... right? Well... the girls put her in her place... take a look at how they did it...

I’m missing a photo here... they were pushing her down to this position...

They really do get along so well... :)

Next stop... Round Two on Tuesday...
