6:55pm on the SW field!


F yea - you mo'fos! Let's keep the drive alive & keep the mojo flowin'. Be like David Brent & be awesome.
So we play the Four Moon Tavern tonight @ 6:55. I'd like to give a spirited "that bar sucks so the teams probably a bunch of douchey nerdbombers" talk, but I actually kinda like the Four Moon Tavern (booo! hisssssss!). Although, if you see it now, the apartment upstairs whose balcony is supported by a lean-to thing attached to the FMT is actually sagging tremendously & is waiting to break and hurt someone. So in your face Four Moon!

Anyway, we're best so we shouldn't have to mess with rest, because that test is in jest. I can't really impress the duress that the rest will confess, but unless they suppress our finesse - our success is stamped "express".
Word to ya mutha. Danny & Nicolette are on Beer Patrol. Please let Danny or I know if you will not be making the game tonight! Also - have a look over the suggestions & tips I've reposted below...
Let's go Masterbatters!
- limit excessive throws around the diamond. 9 times out of 10, your throw will miss it's target when you rush & the baserunner will advance at least another base.
- if your nervous about catching a flyball, catch it with your body. let it hit your gut first, then trap it with your hands against your chest.
- if you're in the outfield and a flyball gets hit towards you, take your first step backwards & take a second to make sure the ball won't go over your head. allowing the ball to bounce in front of you & giving the guy (or gal) a double is way better than misplaying it & letting the ball roll for miles.
- play your game. if you duff a flyball, get over it. if you ground out, get over it. Keep your head right & good things will happen.
- pay attention to the base coaches when your rounding the bases.
- Swing at whatever feels right. You start with a 1-1 count so you can afford to take a pitch if you don't want to swing at the first one.
- encourage your teammates; first & foremost this is a kickass excuse to hang out with friends and drink.
- drink at the game... it's not rec league mushball without drinking.
- live up to the exceptionally high standards of the Masterbatters. We're like the Freemasons of 16" softball.
