Some guys do, but most normal people wear shorts. One guy on a team we played the other week and pinstrip pants, socks, a Yankees warmup pullover, and Yankees hat. He looked like an asshole.

lol !!! I posted it before (prob at the swamp) but I was involved in a slo-pitch brawl a few years back and the opposing teams pitcher was decked out like that ... yankees gear ... even yankees wristbands ... two batting gloves (while he pitched) ... baseball short cutoffs ... batting gloves flapping out of his back pockets too ... i shit you not

the brawl was set off when, while he was pitching, he started arguing with the ump after the ump called him for throwing an illegal pitch (not enough arc) to a girl who couldnt hit

I yelled "easy Joe Torre" from the dugout and he went APESHIT!!!

I watched some "competitive slo-pitch" on TV last year, and it was an utterly ridiculous game.
they limit the home-runs these steroid monkeys are allowed to hit (i think 20 or 25), so the winner of the game was basically whoever was more productive on their shots. If you hit a homer over your allotment, it was an out. It was funny to see these guys crank a 900 foot fly ball, and be pissed because it was a solo shot.

yah i saw that ... canada v USA ... i think every player on both teams were either full time firefighters or cops LOL

Those guys have absurd home run derbies.

LOL! Nice zing, Jstew.

We almost had a fight in our game with "Captain Yankee" too. If you know my stance on fighting in hockey, you can guess my eyeroll on the bench at guys puffing their chests over a rec. league softball game.

 

[Darkstone42]

Thank goodness my league is entirely good-natured.

Cone-ing old news... Ignore-ing is heading out...

The new trend is bath-ing...


Talk about your slow news day...

 

[Darkstone42]

Ew.

I really like the 270-lb. woman who is concerned with the health threat this causes.They weren't bathing in the deep fryer, people!

If you have a fetish for fast food bathing, this is as hot as it gets.

hahahaha.

the only instigating role i play (or used to) is I would get lippy with guys ... it was never a "Im tougher than you" thing

the brawl I refer to didnt even happen after I called the pitcher out ... later in the game, one of their girls playing 1st got hit in the shoulder by an errant throw.

I wasnt watching the game (i was actually drinking beer talking to friends outside the dugout) and laughed really loud at a joke at about the exact same time and everyone on their team thought i was laughing at the girl who got hurt

so the girl came at me

???

and the friends i was standing with shooting the shit and drinking beer who werent even playing tried to calm the situation and say we werent even watching the game and we were telling jokes but she didnt care and she ended up taking a swing at me lol

missed me and ended up hitting the fence

i was just shocked and asked her what the hell she was doing

I ended up asking her if she planned on hitting me with her purse next

it degenerated from there

I played softball on a league in the early 90s. Our idea was it was 'just going to be for fun' and the people that practiced were going to be the people that played. So first game of the year there were suddenly 5 new people I never saw and thereafter the same 4 people (including me) were sitting on the bench each game.

So I complained and the fucker coach had me pitch the next game. At least in my league they were very picky about the pitching, so after never attempting to pitch ever it was a disaster. I lasted an inning and a 3rd!

My hitting was good, apparently my stance made it look like I was really going to pull the ball but my slow reactions usually had me line it to right field. My fielding was an adventure, I'd fuck up easy plays and make plays I had no business making I guess because I didnt have time to think about it.

Not a big regret, but I do regret I didnt tell our coach to go fuck himself. Twenty years later I still think about that now and then.

Also at least in my league the percentages of assholes was very high. Is it like that in every league? There was taunting and a ton of showboating. One game when I was catching some guy was doing a big home run trot , while his team sung some stupid song, and as he gleefully crossed home plate proudly I said "Dude*, its softball" which seemed to confuse him.



*in the early 90s I may have used the word dude now and then dude.

lol. that's perfect.

I played for years in the broker softball league, and as you can imagine, there is a lot of testosterone (and trying to impress the receptionist) going on. we were playing against a team that took themselves WAAAAY too seriously. the had a center fielder dressed up to the nines like that, just wouldn't shut up. chirped every single player that came up to bat. I told him to let his play do his talking, and he plays the race card. "You dis-respecin' me cause I'm black" he was really playing it up. I just said, "No, I'm disrespecting you because you're an asshole"
so when I come up to bat, he comes way in (no batter, etc). His team was telling him to back up, not be an idiot, it was a close game, etc, but he was firm in his commitment. So I put a fly ball out to where he should have been, and get a triple out of it. I give him a big cheesy :thumbs up: from third, which shuts him up momentarily.

the melee ensued about two innings later, when he starts chirping again, and his own teammate comes after him with a bat. it was fucking awesome. My team sat in the dugout, drank beer and just watched. he wasn't on the team next time we played them.



in other news, M's continue to find new ways to lose.
the go ahead run for T.O. was scored by a guy who struck out.
edit... grand slam Olivo in the 8th ties it up at 5.
