Really?

I mean, really?

You're dead to me.

I saw this article today, and thought the pictures were pretty cool.

This will be the last thing anyone posts about him, so if you don’t like it, just don’t say anything, and it’ll all go away.

Ok, well I saw an SF Chronicle article with photos

and this is a video, but you get my point.

Also

If I may continue this train of thought – it’s a FanPost, so it’s fine if it’s been done before or is a bit offtopic or whatever. Policing standards are lower for fanposts. No foul here.

I hate softball

If it weren’t for softball, all the public fields in town I want to pitch on would have mounds. That said, this is hilarious.

He got an out?

He might have been a half-assed Major Leaguer, but that still puts him in the upper 1% of everyone who has ever played baseball. Shouldn’t he go 3 for 3? Shouldn’t he never get an out? Shouldn’t he be able to lace a line drive on demand? Maybe he successfully put down that bunt we needed … that could explain the out.

I feel like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football. Ugh

I am a 30 year old middle school English teacher

and I rarely get out … I’m just going to be interested to see how his stats continue to stack up. I expect a .900+ .avg by the end of the season.

Some softball leagues are highly competitive

And this would seem to be one of those leagues, judging from the professional-looking uniforms and the apparent ages/fitness levels of the guys on the team.

Plus you know Byrnes is going up there hacking away… he’s aware that much of the time he’ll be able to blast it out of the park. I doubt he’s going for line drives, he’s going for longballs that make the other team go “!!!!!.”

Since there are 4 outfielders in softball, some of those fly balls will get caught. I predict a BA of .650.

By the way

I didn’t mean to imply you play un-competitive softball, or were old/fat/whatever.

I’m just sayin’, maybe the guys he’s playing with are pretty good.

I hear their current GM is way better than his predecessor.

Because we’re rebels. Accurate, intelligent, introspective rebels. And damn proud of it my friend. - CapSea
