and softball too

something about a softball game stuck in the middle of non-stop madness called packing for a move... we played a team of first timers and won big... they were a friendly bunch of software programmers... something like 17-2 which was a 4 inning run-rule stoppage (20 after 3, 15 after 4, 10 after 5)... we stopped batting at the 7 run limit in the second and third innings... after the game i pitched a bit to sanford and to jackson... also swung the bat a half dozen times... and it went well, though the arm is sore now... this was the first pitching from mound to plate i did since the injury and aggravated assault on the injury i perpetrated and incurred (or incurred and then perpetrated, to be precise)... still not ready to throw overhand and definitely must limit my pitch count and swinging the bat at only half speed, but yay for returning to playing next month i hope...

coincidence or not, the loudest rudest drunk from the drunk team from the championship was there tonight... he tossed a dozen balls out to the mound and was helping sanford and jackson with their swings and not only did he give good help, he was a complete gentleman... he doesn't have a team because that team broke up... half the team did not want to play with the other half because they were so obnoxious... we picked up one of the girls from that team... several others joined another team... i suppose nobody wanted him but he was out there supporting friends on the other team, though he walked away to make amends with us... a very good move... we didn't go as far as to offer him a spot on the team (though he is definitely a good player), but it's good to see he appears to have realized he and other went way beyond fun and sportsmanship that night... getting a $200 discount from the league for putting up with it is a good thing too... and that's the softball update for the date...
