UPDATED! SOFTBALL INFO: Shoot for the 31st!!

by BrettJMiller on May 12, 2008 12:28 AM PDT

Shoot for the 31st people. MAY 31st!

Saturday, May 17

I'm in for just doing some BP or something tomorrow. If we can get five or so people for sure in tomorrow we'll do this. If not, I'm cool sitting this out.

In so far:

Brett
Gomez
Fin
Eric
wwbaker3
camomilk(?)

Date number two...

Saturday May 31 OR Sunday June 1

Tentatively in:

Brett
Gomez
Eric?
phildopip
johnbai
jimmimoose
brayden04
wwbaker3
Two R's and Two L's
Robert (31st only???)

I recommend Sunday since Red says he can only play on Sundays. Getting Red out to a softball game would be fucking awesome. Decide amongst yourselves if the 31st or the 1st is better.

This weekend for sure

Its supposed to be great weather so we should take full advantage of that. I know its a home series against the Rivals, but I don’t think you just pass up the opportunity when the weather is going to be that good. Friday or Saturday works better for me. I wouldn’t mind doing it in Seattle, but I live in Mill Creek, so could there possibly be a carpool going from that area to Seattle?

I'm in Everett and would help you out, but I'm going to Cirque d' Soleil that day.

I like midgets more than I should.

If i am home in time I would be interested in playing.

I am coming back to the States on May 17 or so....

so anytime after that and I’ll be there.

Oh man I'm getting psyched for it....

But I’m having such a great time in Lithuania that I just extended my stay a few days. I think I love eastern Europe.

by brayden04 on May 13, 2008 1:25 AM PDT up 0 recs

I'll be there

or wherever, regardless of which day we settle on

If we can get everything organized by Saturday, that would be tops

Otherwise the 31st works for me.

I second the 31st.

This weekend’s booked for me, and next weekend is Sasquatch.

I shall anticipate the hilarious picture that shall be captured doing this event.

by BrianL on May 12, 2008 8:29 AM PDT 0 recs

I'm in

Saturdays are > than Sundays for me.
Next weekend or the 31st are both fine.
PS, once we announce an actual date, let’s “recommend” this post so it goes up top!

by johnbai on May 12, 2008 10:08 AM PDT 0 recs

Yes

This weekend may cut it too close for a lot of interested parties, but it looks like there’s legit interest for it nonetheless.

Let’s try and see if we can get enough people for this weekend, but otherwise let’s shoot for 5-31.

by Gomez on May 12, 2008 10:59 AM PDT 0 recs

I agree

The weather looks to be too good to pass up. I’d say this Saturday would be an ideal day. But I don’t mind doing 31st either.

by Fin on May 12, 2008 5:21 PM PDT up 0 recs

There is that as well

80 degrees and clear skies… you can’t pass that up.

by Gomez on May 13, 2008 11:32 AM PDT up 0 recs

i'd be down for the 31st

sasquatch is looming, but after that i need to jet up and put in a couple days with the fam. a little softball break is exactly what i’d need to break up the discomfort.

by jimmimoose on May 12, 2008 11:28 AM PDT 0 recs

my sympathies

by johnbai on May 12, 2008 1:29 PM PDT up 0 recs

On second thought, the 31st sucks

The M’s play that afternoon.

This way we don't have to watch them lose though

Could play at 4....it'll still be nice out at that point.

Good point. We'll have plenty of sunlight left

by EricBehrens on May 13, 2008 5:58 PM PDT up 0 recs

Maybe 2 or 3 would be better?

Just a few more hours before the game.

by Fin on May 13, 2008 6:16 PM PDT up 0 recs

The game's at 1 that day

by EricBehrens on May 13, 2008 8:10 PM PDT up 0 recs

Woops, nevermind, I was thinking the 17th

by Fin on May 13, 2008 8:32 PM PDT up 0 recs

I'm not sure about this weekend...

Pencil me in as a maybe.

by camomilk on May 13, 2008 11:07 AM PDT 0 recs

Okay, I'm totally in for both days

And good news: while digging through some old stuff for shirts, I found a softball glove my friend gave me when he moved away, which is way better than my current one. This will help me greatly with catching, which ahs always been a problem with my too-small glove.

by Gomez on May 13, 2008 11:31 AM PDT 0 recs

The 31st would work best for me.

It’s a long drive back to Portland on a Sunday evening. :(

I am tentatively in for the 31st/1st

June 1st doesnt work for me

Taking a friend out for his 21st the night before.

by Robert on May 13, 2008 1:28 PM PDT 0 recs

Won't be able to make them

But I will be back in WA for a few non-consecutive weeks this Summer so hopefully something will pop up then

by Fett42 on May 13, 2008 2:06 PM PDT 0 recs

I can make the 31st after the Mariners game (around 4)

The first wouldn’t work for me.

I'm only in for the 31st as well

I have a committment this coming saturday. :(

by johnbai on May 13, 2008 11:25 PM PDT 0 recs

I can play the 31st or the 1st.

by brayden04 on May 14, 2008 1:56 AM PDT 0 recs

Check your calendar for the 1st

Not sure when our game is… might be a conflict.

by johnbai on May 14, 2008 8:01 PM PDT up 0 recs

I'll check, but I don't have the schedule.

I might not make it anyway, my club has fucked up my ticket. My agent says it’s there fault, they say it’s his. So I’m sitting here holding my dick while they bicker over who has to get me home. I’m way past irritated, I am thinking of just going to the airport and buying my own goddamn ticket.

So. Frustrated.

by brayden04 on May 15, 2008 1:29 PM PDT up 0 recs

Likely no Saturdays

but the 1st may work.

This Saturday's looking like no-go

by Gomez on May 15, 2008 3:33 PM PDT 0 recs

Not necessarily for me, but it doesn't look like we have too many people

by Gomez on May 15, 2008 3:33 PM PDT up 0 recs

I was thinking the same thing unfortunately

The weather is so nice though. O well, I could see if I could possibly do the 31st.

by Fin on May 15, 2008 4:43 PM PDT up 0 recs

perhaps

if we can get a few people we can play some hitting and throwing – baseball that is.

I like that idea

I prefer playing baseball over softball, even though softball is higher scoring. Whatever floats it. I am in for anything.

by Fin on May 15, 2008 6:31 PM PDT up 0 recs

I'm still in if we can get enough people

by Gomez on May 15, 2008 6:54 PM PDT up 0 recs

I'm out for tomorrow

but hoping for a May 31st game.

by johnbai on May 16, 2008 12:04 PM PDT up 0 recs

Matthew says he's coming tomorrow

So yeah, I’m going – Seattle U still?

by wwbaker3 on May 16, 2008 7:11 PM PDT up 0 recs

Look like it's going to be

2pm at Seattle U field, according to Matthew, Gomez and I

Please indicate if you’ll be coming.

by wwbaker3 on May 16, 2008 10:57 PM PDT up 0 recs

I'll be there.

Could we make it at 12:30 or 1 possibly? I am going to have to leave around 3. I hope that everyone else could possibly work through that. thanks!

by Fin on May 16, 2008 11:13 PM PDT up 0 recs

1pm it is

damn

I’m only just now reading this. Ah well, I’m feeling sick anyway.
Can’t wait for the 31st.

by EricBehrens on May 17, 2008 1:21 PM PDT up 0 recs

So we still meeting up tomorrow?

I just need to know by tonight.

by Fin on May 16, 2008 6:58 PM PDT 0 recs

Yeah.....

I’m not going to make either of those dates now.

by brayden04 on May 17, 2008 10:23 AM PDT 0 recs

Dude, seriously?

Can’t you just buy your own ticket… or has something else come up?

by johnbai on May 18, 2008 11:42 PM PDT up 0 recs

The ticket is still a problem,

but my family (read: mom) is planning a big family get together that weekend. I am not sure if it will be in Seattle or if it’s like a family vacation type thing. Since I haven’t seen most of my family for a year I don’t think it’s possible for me to skip out on it. My sister has been studying in France for a year too, so I think the whole family is coming down….aunts, uncles, dogs, miniature donkeys etc….

As for the ticket, I might have to buy my own. Although I’m not really enthused about paying 1000 bucks for something that is not my responsibililty, as well as in my contract.
