Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

SOFTBALL JUNE 15! Look, shiny shiny new title! Sign up in here! Jeff and Red will be there!

Theking_tiny by BrettJMiller on

 

Time and Place Date:
Sunday, June 15, 2008
Time:
1:00pm - 6:00pm
Location:
Seattle U Soccer Field or Seattle U Softball field if available?
Street:
14th and Cherry St. (soccer) 12th and Cherry st (softball) City/Town:
Seattle, WA

I know I'm in. Rumor has it Jeff may be willing to make an appearance. In fact he pretty much said it was a good day for him. So if he doesn't show up you can be mad and stuff, and send him lots of hate mail I guess. You assholes need to actually respond and get a roll call going ahead of time so we don't end up with a bunch of no-shows like last time.

Roll call: 11 (16?)

Matthew
Brett (+ 1?)
Jeff
ningwers
thenatural
wwbaker3
Eric (+1) (+2 depending on weather)
RED
Fin
brayden(actually will be late)
johnbai (+ 1)(Actually will be late)
kentroyals5 (?)
Two Rs and Two Ls (?)
Gomez (? Depends on family issues)

Nothing planned...

however, only “might” go?!

This is the type we’re trying to avoid.

Commit one way or another so others can plan accordingly.

I’m in and I would like to see more commitments this time around.

June 15th is father's day

don’t know if that affects anyone else but if I have the day off I’ll be expected to spend at least a part of the day with him.

Graduation and my mother/brother being in town means I'm no-go

It’s their vacation, so I need to make sure they can get around. They don’t know the city at all.

But their flight departs on Sunday at 7:05, meaning if I drop them at the airport and you guys play until 5-6, I may be able to meet up for postgame food/beer.

I haven’t made any reservations for father’s day yet, but I’ll do what I can to do whatever before 1pm. I’ll do my best to make it.

Okay

I don’t know what my schedule’s gonna be like Sunday… but my mother/brother fly out around 7:30-8:00… meaning they would head to the airport around 5-6 pm at the latest. If I can make it work… if my mother/brother are okay will chilling out somewhere like a nice bookstore for a few hours before catching a cab or shuttle ride or something to the airport (and they have stated they have no problem with such a scenario)... I may be able to make this. I don’t want to make any guarantees, because obviously shit can happen, and the day may come and it may be clear this isn’t possible… but if I can make it to this, I will be there.

Provided I am not working that day, I am in.

And I want to catch Jeff and/or take a few swings. I might get lucky.

And I think my OOR is probably relatively decent (at least comparatively to the group). I like to think of myself as a serviceable outfielder… although I’d really prefer to think of myself as a good defensive middle infielder, but I think the number of times that I pull my head on ground balls suggests otherwise.

It's not actually my son, so it's not a breeding penalty.

But his Mom and I have been together for eight years, and I was “around” well before that. I’m not missing any of his graduation stuff for anything. Plus my niece graduates with him, so we’re combining the two parties into one. So I’d be screwing over the boy, and my first niece as well. Not gonna happen.

Johnbai and Brayden's team...

is 6-0 in the mighty and fearsome Mercer Island Stroum Jewish Community Center C League. What could be more important than that!?

Also, today was the first game Big B was able to actually play.
Brayden’s first at bat in this league: mammoth homerun to straight away center.
Brayden’s second at bat: intentional walk.

Also today: I had an opportunity to hit my first ever walk off homerun… and fucked it up… popping out to the center fielder.

And not only that, but our

height advantage over our opponent today was ferocious! When teams see our bunyanesque team they cower in fear!

We need that sort of talent in our softball game

because I am more of a line drive hitter.

Alright well I feel bad.

But apparently when I told the Mrs. if she had made plans for the 15th, she didn’t realize that was Fathers Day. To make a long story short, her family made plans to go to Squim that day. Well I am kinda locked into a commitment there, since my father is in Iraq and I can’t see him or get him to come to game with me.

So I can’t make it :S. I feel bad cause i said I’d go, but I can’t or…well you know how the dog house is.

Sorry guys.

Not sure if I asked earlier

But will there be one on or around August 9th-12th?

Dude.

That’s soooo far away. Who thinks that far ahead??

Yeah

We can look into it as the time approaches, but two months out is quite far.

by Gomez on Jun 8, 2008 9:25 PM PDT up reply actions  

You're right

How frequent are these though? Just wondering. I’m in town maybe only 3 times a year or so.

I think the people planning to show

should definitely consider inviting a friend or two… just to improve our chances of getting 18-20 folks.
Also: nothing from the Portlanders? Phildopip? Jimmimoose?

pdb?

can we get a coach sighting?

by brayden04 on Jun 9, 2008 12:12 AM PDT up reply actions  

Noooooooooooooooo

No Coach. Please. That’s like asking for the worst buzzkill possible.

Coach would be fun, I don't know about you guys.

He’s fun to pick on here, why not in real life?

That's true

But its awkward enough meeting people you are cool with on the internet in person, imagine the awkwardness of meeting someone you pick on on the internet in person.

I can't make it

the annoying thing is, I’ll be in Seattle that weekend, but family commitments preclude me going. There’s a small chance I may be going to the game that night, though.

Worst comes to worse,

you can play 3 teams with as little as 12 people which we should have easy or else you are all deadweight.

by Matthew on Jun 9, 2008 1:02 AM PDT up reply actions  

In case you are all totally baffled by this comment

I believe Matthew is talking about playing a version in which you make three teams of 4 to 5 players each. One team bats while the other two both play defense. You rotate after 3 outs and each team plays against a full defense.

by johnbai on Jun 10, 2008 1:01 AM PDT up reply actions  

I was baffled

Thanks for explaining that. (I know this sounds sarcastic but I am being serious).

Jl/Robert '08: Promise for a CoachCage on Friday nights!

by Fin on Jun 10, 2008 1:58 AM PDT up reply actions  

Right,

Team A: bats
Team B: plays OF
Team C: plays IF

there’s some mixing that usually needs to happen to cover pitcher and catcher but you can cover everything with as little as 13 players.

by Matthew on Jun 10, 2008 12:43 PM PDT up reply actions  

so is this better than trying to do 2 teams of 6-7?

Jl/Robert '08: Promise for a CoachCage on Friday nights!

by Fin on Jun 10, 2008 1:48 PM PDT up reply actions  

7 would be manageable.

Just have someone on the Batter’s team pitch. then you’re just missing a catcher and the pitcher can cover for plays at the plate

I’ll be in Federal Way all day helping Pops do yard work. Have fun!

Now I'm gonna have to do everything I can to make it

I’ll be damned if this fizzles because of Father’s Day related wishy washiness.

Yea Father's Day throws a fucking bone in this

I am sorry guys you are going to have to scratch me out, I have to do some father’s day shit.

I've missed every one of these games so far

and this one will be no exception to the apparent rule.

It’s a shame too, because this weekend’s events were right up my dad’s alley…he’s as big of a M’s fan as me and he used to be an avid softball player.

Yet another reason why retail isn’t in my relatively near future…

Call in sick, it's retail. What are they going to do?
