3/28/10- Moscone Field

Can someone explain how we go from 26 to 10 in less than a month? Probably the most amazing day we have seen in a while, and parking problems aside, a great day for baseball. And here we were us stalwart 9 (Ben showed up 20 minutes before we quit) ready to play, and this is what we get. Showed up by softballers. SOFTBALLERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They had cheers, and spandex, and homoerotic screams from the right fielder, and the best we could do is come up with some slapdash "game" that I coined U.N. 9.

The rationale being that each of us was our own country, and got three outs to hit with, and as long as we kept our ghostrunners moving, we could keep hitting. It wasn't bad. It wasn't good either. We got to see a lot of pitchers, including the new right hand sensation Mike Gaspar, and for those of us that hit a bit ( I couldn't miss! Why does that happen in batting practice?) it was entertaining to talley ghost runs. BUt come on people!

I know, lots of legitimate excuses too, vacations, camping, arizona, surfing, band tours, but Jesus, what's the point of being on the email list and never showing up. and I realize that i am preaching to the choir here, as those guys probably don't read the blog....

Highlights:

You want highlights? here's your fucking highlights, everyone should buy these guys a drink:

Lattig, Gaspar, Kvoriak, Johnny, Chris, Brian Cagle, Ben, Elvin, Nick Smith and Satch

Satch's old man even came out to root on a baseball game, and ended up deriding us for making him ride the bus for batting practice. OUCH.

See you this weekend, stay the fuck away RAIN!
