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

being a guy that played on a league winning softball team and brags about it.

Mhk goEMAW softball team?  Would participate.

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

This would be great.  Do you think that we could get goEMAW.com and La Hacienda to sponsor our team?!?!  :drool:

I am playing in a kickball league. Had a couple double plays last game. Sadly, it's probably my biggest athletic achievement in about a year

kickball is great. If you take it seriously everyone laughs at you and hates you, which I love.

It's the first game I've played but about 3rd of the season. There was a meeting regarding leading off prior to the game. I made fun of everybody there to their faces that the meeting was necessary. They do let you bring beer on the field though

I've only done beer-in-hand games for "friendlies". But it was always in the dugout no matter what.

here's the deal for me with taking things like softball seriously vs not taking them seriously. there has to be some kind of happy medium. taking them too serious is ridiculous but you at least have to try or else what's the point. basically if there is a team vs another team and someone is getting paid (ref, score keeper) then you're obligated to kind of try. if not then you aren't.

Yes, but thats why we aren't pro athletes (unless you are a pro athlete in which case can you sign this for me?)

If you wear baseball pants, you're probably taking it too seriously. Batting gloves, maybe.

If you cuss out an ump over a call, you're taking it too seriously.

If you are genuinely angry at a teammate's performance, you're taking it too seriously.

If you do a quick tag on a guy even though he is obviously safe because that's what you were taught in little league, you're taking it too seriously.

Hustling out an infield single or diving for the occasional grounder, you're OK.

agree on everything except the batting gloves. i'd say that's too serious. basically you should try, but don't dress or act like an idiot.

I agree w/ you on batting gloves. I personally think it's going too far and would never rough ridin' wear them but some people may just have delicate palms.

my favorite guy from monday night was about 5'6" and ripped like some thick little body builder.  he thought he was there to do one thing and one thing alone:  hit home runs.  you could tell because of the way he sort of pouted and made a big production out of what he did wrong after an at bat in which he failed to do so.  like, shaking his head in disgust and muttering to himself stuff like, "drop the shoulder."  i don't know if he took the game too seriously, but he did take his home run hitting very seriously.

i wear a single batting glove because i don't want the bat to slip out of my hands and hit someone.  i wear it with basketball shorts, random 10k race t-shirt, football cleats, and no hat.

gopowercat.com is 10-4 in the A division, tied with Hibachi Hut and one game out of second place.   :ohno:

I don't even know it MHK has fall leagues.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I don't know about that one.  I could start off totally not giving a eff and then get pretty pissed, pretty quick at someone for being some half-assed fuckface out there.  I mean what are we out here for?

It must be a shitty league if a bunch of nonathletic stoners are tied for being one game out of second place. (Unless things have changed at Hibachi Hut since I worked there.)
