most girls have to face 10 man IF's when they hit...because even the best girls can only hit it 200 feet max and that's if they really get into the ball.

Heh, I had two girls on my team back in the day that could hit home runs. Should have seen the look on those idiots faces when they would go yard on them.

I see a few of them bitching about umps in games to each other on Facebook

A few are for sure that Angry Kid. Of course I see parents of little league kids doing the same. So...

Dayze, I PM'd you. I think I went to high school with your buddy that was in the accident. I heard from some friends that there were a few shitty people in the tournament and that there were even a few altercations off of the field. Apparently a mutual friend was called the n word by some asshole and a fight occurred. Could be a completely different tournament but it sounds too similar to not be the same one.

I officiated intramurals in college. Douchebaggery was imminent.

Discuss Thrower · 08-10-2014, 11:03 PM

Played one year of softball last summer. Guy who organized our team (mostly fraternity alums) put us into a league based on time slot rather than skill.

So we were placed into an intermediate league. I hadn't played any sort of stick and ball sport since I got plunked in the first year of kid pitch and I cried like a little bitch.

The majority of the team hadn't played baseball either so we were outclassed by a WIDE margin.

Thankfully we didn't come across too many "Softball Guys" out there though there was at last team that had more than one guy wearing pants. Most teams realized we sucked ass so they wouldn't try too hard to murder us in terms of school.

Somehow I was able to barely jab a pitch to the edge of the infield so I managed to get on base at a +.600% clip. I like to think it's because of the fact people just weren't used to fielding a ball hit so shittily that I was able to run my fat ass to first. Better than accepting the more likely alternative they just assumed I was the reeruned kid on the team that was used to make everyone else look better or something.

Either way I couldn't run the bases correctly and we couldn't string together more than 4 at-bats without an out so I only reached home perhaps three times.. And I got erased at second at least once because I didn't slow up in time and overran the bag.

Needless to say I'm in no hurry to return to the dirty diamond because of the fact I'm an abject liability in the field and an abortion on the base paths. I'll probably never play any sort of sport again given that I get sharp pains in my knees if I rotate them more than a degree.

I stick to league bowling now..

there is nothing wrong with taking the ball to right field...that doesn't make you a douche bag

being good at softball doesn't make you a douche bag

acting like a douche bag makes you a douche bag

oh and sliding into any base ever makes you a douche bag

I guess I'm a douchbag, I don't act like one but if sliding makes me one so be it.

Hootie · 08-10-2014, 11:22 PM

I played in a league before where there was a line before home but it just made every out at home a force out. That wasn't bad but I didn't think it was necessary, either. I don't mind tag outs at home plate. Of course, any dick bag that makes contact with the catcher in slow pitch softball is the douchiest of douches.

Hootie · 08-10-2014, 11:23 PM

we always made fun of people who wore baseball pants and slid into bases...

it's ****ing slow pitch softball...sliding is ****ing dumb

you're an adult...you have a real job. You don't need to be sliding into bases to beat out that close play by a step. It's never that serious if you're not getting paid or you're not in high school/college.

Okay, I'm good to go then. I don't wear baseball pants, I wear shorts rain or shine, so sliding in shorts doesn't make one a douchbag.

By the way, probably 90% of the people that play here will slide into a base if it's needed. That includes men/women between the ages of 20-50,

Dude...sliding in shorts? Are you ****ing serious? That makes you a double douche.

Yep, best part is our fields suck, dirt/rocks/etc. Not sure how that makes me a douche but whatever, it's my body. Starting to take it's toll now that I'm in my thirties, but I enjoy it and it doesn't effect anyone else so I dont see the problem, extra bases win games. I like winning.

Hootie · 08-10-2014, 11:25 PM

which is why after a few years I decided I wasn't going to play 3rd base anymore

I'm an adult. I don't need to have to explain things at work if a ball ever takes a bad hop and plants me right in the ****ing eye or mouth.

I will let some other moron play 3rd and I'll happily go play OF. OF is more fun in slow pitch anyways.

I preferred 1st base. You are involved in a high percentage of plays and you are less likely to get a liner right at your face. heh
