Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Softball Photo Recap (Big Entry)

I'll start off with the Gomez medley.

Gomez, powered by his securely attached belt loop keys, squeezes a pop up in front of Chas.

Later, Gomez admired his wicked snap throw to first.

But upon losing the second game, Gomez sobbed openly in the dugout, reminding us all what this game is really about.

As stated in the other wrap up, Matthew was a beast... both at the plate and in the field. I credit the black socks.

Bretticus sports the Sinking Ship Logo shirt.

Graham was modeling his latest footwear.

Corco... um... out-oranged everyone.

We had only a couple drops of rain... otherwise it was a gorgeous day for softball (as you can see from this catcher's-eye view.)

Robert, Bretticus and WWBaker watching the action.

This guy quietly played very well in both games. Sorry I never got his name. (Update: Shane)

FWombat: Long time lurker, first time pitcher.

"Think you can hit it over my head?! I'll build a fucking wall behind me. Now whattaya got, bitches."

Bad knee and all, I still managed a triple. Or maybe it was a pop up and a three base error. I can't remember, and I never will.

Phildopip rocks the cargo shorts.

Both a game highlight, and my best action pic of the day, Jimmimoose makes the sliding catch.

Moose also scared a few people with that bat.

Someone forgot to tell Robert that there is no bunting in softball.

WWBaker had a solid day at the plate, and played a great shortstop too.

Graham, in his neverending war against the Persians.

And a big happy finale... what a team! (Left to right) Jimmimoose, Phildopip, WWBaker, Jaejo, Gomez, Bretticus, Johnbai, FWombat, Chas, Corco, Matthew, Robert, Graham, Shane

Help me out with names and suggested captions.

I'm glad you didn't mind
the "openly sobbing" one... I think you just got some dirt in your eye or something... but it was too funny not to run with. And OOPS, sorry about that WWBaker... I'll fix it.

man, that was an ugly swing by me,
with the knee on the ground, it kinda look like Beltre's swings - without the power that is.  most of my hits were of the singles and doubles variety, although i had plenty of them.

I like Phildopip with his
Manny and Cammy imitation with the inside-out pockets
I fucking hate you Mariners

We've long debated this
3 SO = Hattrick 4 SO = Golden Sombrero but what do you call a 5 SO day? Jimmimoose and I are going with "Crystal Fez" these days.

by johnbai on Sep 22, 2007 10:31 PM PDT up reply actions  

HA
Didn't somebody dub it a Horn because of Sam Horn's penchant for 5 K games?

by Gomez on Sep 22, 2007 10:32 PM PDT up reply actions  

Haha
Jimmimoose and I used to call it "the jewel encrusted codpiece" back in the day.

btw, the unnamed guy (long time lurker, first time pitcher; also standing next to you in the group photo) was Brian.

I reject your reality and substitute my own!

Awesome photos
Wish I could have been there. We need to do a LL football game sometime this fall (or would that be Field Gull's territory?)

by Katal LM on Sep 22, 2007 10:44 PM PDT reply actions  

Field Gulls will set it up
but by all accounts we're totally welcome.

by Gomez on Sep 22, 2007 10:54 PM PDT up reply actions  

Man I look retarded in each shot.
And I'm shaded wayyyyy more towards LF than I thought in the catcher's eye view (I'm the CF)

I had a total blast and I think these shots just reflect the pure awesome that was attained today.

by BrettJMiller on Sep 22, 2007 11:14 PM PDT reply actions  

These photos are hilarious
I love how Gomez dressed up for the occasion. Tucked in even! That's classy.

Sorry I couldn't make it. If there's ever a Natural Rival Edition of LL softball in San Diego, I'm all over it.

by Teej on Sep 22, 2007 11:23 PM PDT reply actions  

LOL
I think I scare people with more than just the bat.  I'm quite a creature out there.  

Today was awesome fun, guys, thanks to all of you!

by jimmimoose1 on Sep 22, 2007 11:31 PM PDT reply actions  

woohoo
that pic beats every action shot of me in baseball ever (people should never take still photos of pitchers. It's just unfair. Our entire body does unnatural things at that velocity).

by Matthew on Sep 23, 2007 12:46 AM PDT reply actions  

Man, one of these days I got to make it out to
one of these.
These pretzels....are making me thirsty!

by Goose on Sep 23, 2007 1:20 AM PDT reply actions  

dont forget
me striking out corco 4 times or so, and one time when he was on my team...

by marinerschas2 on Sep 23, 2007 1:29 AM PDT reply actions  

that felt horrible man
i know i had no control, but i felt sick after striking you out.

It sucks when you dominate your own team

by marinerschas2 on Sep 23, 2007 1:58 AM PDT up reply actions  

Haha, I look so pissed off
Stupid bleachers.

The irony is that someone did hit one over my head in the second game. I think it was Phil?

by Jaejo on Sep 23, 2007 2:12 AM PDT reply actions  

Haha, no way.
I didn't hit it over anybody's head.

Gritty infield singles!

I reject your reality and substitute my own!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
I miss softball :(

I miss everyone :(

by Deanna on Sep 23, 2007 8:47 AM PDT reply actions  

I had a blast, guys.
Can't wait for spring.  New baseball season, and more softball.  Good times.
