Wow I lasted 1 minute, almost 70% of that video was him repeating something he already said.

Good concept but as usual Jim Rome ****s up.

Come on, we all know "Angry young guy". You know him, we all know him. We all know that guy.

our team;

6 guys who rode down on bikes. playing in jeans and boots. had to borrow gloves, and one guy played w/out one. None could hit the broad side of a barn. one gal had a completely immobilized knee brace. another was pregnant...

yeah, we were a threat to other teams' 'championship' dreams lmao.

Actually the guys on my team would hate playing against you and we would run spread you quickly so we could go have some refreshments.

what's run spread? running us fatty's all over the outfield? if so.....then that would definitely work . we'd be dead.

I feel like i got hit by a truck today after trotting my 240lb ass around yesterday. and nice 100 mile ride to and from the games + some extra riding to Pittsburgh for shitty hamburger.

Softball Dude

Allow me to introduce myself. I’m the best ****ing softball player you’ve ever met.

Just ask the opposing teams in the 4 leagues I’m in this summer. I flat out rake. You could populate a small country with all the pitchers I've taken deep.

I just spent three hours in the batting cage and hit the shit out of the ball. Line drives, big flies, opposite field shots. I can do it all. Some kids next to me in the cages were staring and pointing at me. I can’t blame them. They’ve probably never seen a 40 year-old man wearing Oakley Blades and batting gloves who can hit bombs like me. Especially not with shorts this tight.

This season, I’m making sure we sweep all 4 leagues.

Especially the Men’s League at St. Anthony’s. We were two outs away from winning that baby last year and now I can taste it. I’ve gotta get my hands on that 10-foot plastic trophy. It’s all I think about. Rumor has it the league winners get 2 free pitchers at Murphy’s Pub after the season. No way we lose with the trophy and 78 ounces of Busch on the line.

I just bought all new equipment for this season. You should see the acrylic baseball pants I got. Super tight. I picked up a new set of wristbands, a tube of eye black and a pair of 3-inch mud cleats, you know, just in case I need to break up a double play. I also got my hands on a $350 titanium bat for a little extra power. It cost me a week’s pay, but screw it, when I start cranking 400-foot shots it will be worth it. Plus I might need it to beat off all the trim that will be chasing me after the games.

Softball groupies love guys who can go deep.

I can’t wait for that first at bat. I’m bringing a tape deck to the game, so that I can blast The Scorpions when I walk to the plate. Nothing gets me fired up to play ball more than The Scorpions. Except maybe AC/DC, but I save that for the playoffs.

I feel sorry for the other teams. They have no idea what I’m about to unleash on them. Actually, I don’t feel sorry for them. You think that anyone felt sorry for me when that bastard coach cut me from the 8th grade baseball team? You think Babe Ruth or Dave Kingman felt sorry for the other team when they took them deep?

They should have known better than to get into a league with me.

This year I’m focused. I practiced like a son of a bitch in the winter and got the call to play third. That’s right, the hot corner. Only the best play the hot corner. I have to be sharp, so no more beer during the games. I’m going to wait until after the game to starting pounding cold ones and I’m still going to drink you under the table.

My initials might as well be M-V-P. That stands for Most Valuable Player for all you non-softball players.

The League starts Tuesday night. I took the day off of work.

Why do I take softball so seriously?

**** you. You’re just jealous.

[Dayze]

also...serious question...

do tourney's have prizes or trophies typically? or cash pay outs etc?

I know this one in particular didn't have any prizes, trophies, or cash. simply bragging rights....as sick as that sounds

[A Salt Weapon]

Usually trophies for first and second, gear for each player on the championship team. Sometimes league tourneys will have free entry for the following year, and a reduced fee. Some are qualifiers for regionals.

Trophies/plaques make it really easy to keep a sponsorship or have the sponsor throw more cash your way next year, pay the tourney fees, etc.
Really good sponsors will pay for everything, uniforms/bats/balls/gear etc, gotta bring em trophies if you want it to continue.

[Dayze]

thanks.

this one was definitely just a full on benefit type deal then. nothing on the line etc.
the $20 just got your a team colored shirt (no sponsors etc)....which the shirt only cost $5 if I recall.

Jim's Steakhouse is what it was called I think. Granted, I didn't get a steak though.. but my burger sucked ass. and the $1 charge for a small little solo cup of ranch (like the to-go ones you get) lol. Luckily, it was only a $7 burger.

I did try some of a rib eye and it was tasty, but was $$$.
