This week at kickball, (with the help of my wicked white new sneaks) I made it to first base, and actually caught a fly ball for an out.
Yeah Kicking Balls!
That being said, we lost 20-1, and there was a dismal lack of effort from most of the team. There's a mercy rule where you get to 7 runs, you switch the inning. That's how we count down the innings, not by outs. We're dreadfully over matched every time.
It's really too bad. It would be more fun if we could actually compete. Most teams are full of huge jocks, and have just the token amount of females required.
In fact, this game, we had 2 dudes, and the other team had 3 girls. It really takes all the fun out of it, probably for their team too. There's no actual competition, they just kill kill kill.
Also, the last two games we played should have been forfeits, if we were playing by the rules. I guess we're just playing to play, but...by playing games that should be forfeits, we're improving other teams records, and destroying (not difficult considering the starting point) our own.
We know we're going to lose, and lose big, but play anyway, jacking up our points scored against number. I mean, we could just see how high we can get that number. That might be funny. I wonder if there's a prize for the biggest losers...
