After not playing, except for tournaments with My Office Softball, I am back playing again. I had to leave the team except for tournament because I was out of town working in Bellevue during the weekdays. But now I am back. I am only got to have to miss one game this season due to being in Bellevue for code release.<\/p>\n
I went on a couple day time calls with Wakeman, but they were all small ones and we did not even make it to them all before the scene was cleared.<\/p>\n
I got ready to play softball and headed over to Moscow for our first game. I got there about an hour and a half early. I watched the other team finish their game up. I saw some guys walking around in metal spikes. I remembered we can use metal spikes in this league. I got my cleats and changed out the plastic ones for metal ones. It was helpful to have them.<\/p>\n
I saw a lot of people wearing football style cleats they would fall from time to time because the ground was so hard. With my metal spikes I had no problem with falling. Brian got there and gave me a My Office hat. I also learned I would be playing first base. I was happy about that. They other guys were too. One guy said “someone who will be able to catch the balls.” I said, “why to put on the pressure.”<\/p>\n
I warmed up my arm. Then we played. I was batting sixth in the line up. My first at bat was a long fly out to center field. My next at bat I tried to go to left field. Both balls were foul. Their right fielder then played close to the line. When I get two strikes on myself I will power down and look for a small basehit. That is what I got, scoring one.<\/p>\n
In the fourth inning I got up with the bases loaded. I hit a sharp base clearing double. It felt good to have a good day at the plate. When it was done I was three for four with a double and a team leading five RBI.<\/p>\n
After the game we went to the Garden where Taj was working. I had pop and the others had beer. We were chatting and having a good time. It is weird the team only has three people on it from the ought-three season. Joe, Brian, and I. About half the team is brand new this season. One guy on the team played on the Thunder with me in the ought-four season. The team looked pretty sharp today. If we can play like this more often we can win a lot of games.<\/p>\n
This team we beat tonight beat us in the pre-season by fourteen runs. We did not have all of our good players there that night. We were missing Phil tonight as well. Michael B, Joe, and I went to My Office for some more beer. I got a pop and a burger for dinner. We were only there for about twenty minutes to let our sponser, Jeff, know how we did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
