that will only last the first few games. by the fifth game you'll be as good as you ever were and it will be like kid in candy store type fun. unless the people you are playing against are younger and much better and then it will suck and make you mad.

Are you sore from all the beer or from crushing homers

What about when a few teams in the league take the games way too seriously? I mean, what in the world.

I play basketball all the time and played softball once this summer and was sore as hell, too. What a dumb rough ridin' game.

the league rules say something like, "play at 70% until you know you can do more. remember: you have to go to work the next day." i'd have blown that off regardless, but it makes more sense to me now.

there is a rule that you can use pinch runners without subsituting players. it's for the old guys with bad knees and such. there were lots of pinch runners.

I played in a competitive league this summer. Our team was much better suited for beer league and we struggled to win games (finished 5-7). It was a lot of late 20's and younger ex-athlete types. I was the only one on our team 30 or older. A hard run from second to home followed by running out to the outfield and then making a running catch on a fly ball pretty much killed me.

I'm so aggro I go balls to the wall every play no matter what. too many roids when I was younger lmao I might as well turn green and turn into the hulk and just destroy the other team by myself (unfair to my teammates) and then just pound brews after 10 running them in the 1st inning who know maybe I'll try it this summer eff it lol may the best (non)man win. not lmao BRING IT!

that kind of sucks. seriously. being good at bball when you're younger and softball (when you're older) is a great feeling. it really is.

i actually don't know if i suck at softball. all i know is that i was horrible in baseball when i was 12 and the team i was on was pretty competitive and my shittiness drew the ire of my friends/coaches and i've been a little scarred (scared?) ever since

I've played in Spring/Summer/Fall leagues the past 3 years and we have 2 titles, no biggie, just an AWESOME TSHIRT.

We took this summer off because our star player moved and we got tired of playing hungover.

Side Question-

Is there anything worse than playing a doubleheader softball game at 3&4 pm during the summer when you are hungover?

I say no

same. we would have to make sure that we were in a league against bad teams though. playing against people worse than you is fun but playing people that are better is not.

I'm only playing if we get to play against GoPowercat.com every game. Otherwise I say we forfeit.
