Quick update

Well, the others got ahold of this post and the rumor is it didn't get over too well. Not terribly awful, but perhaps unappreciated. To that I say,

QP Live 3

S(ucking) A(ll) Y(our) D(icks) 0

So we backed it all up. SAYD did not score, but they nearly did due to an effing error by this guy doing his best unclutch perform ace act again.

We kicked first to start the game and immediately got our first 3 runners on. I came up next and hit a pop up that dropped between first and the right fielder, but did result in the runner from first being tagged out. We put up all 3 that first inning and that was it...then again, we didn't even make it through our entire lineup for the rest of the game...that's the second straight game. People in the bottom of our lineup really have to start getting on if we want to challenge for the league title. Right now, we're in first, but we play Scoregasm in 2 weeks and we're not going to be nearly as successful against their pitcher as we are against any other pitcher in the league.

It seemed like SAYD's only goal was to score 1 run and that was what they were pissed about when it was all over. At one point they almost scored. There was a runner on 3rd with 2 outs and the kick went rocketed to the 2nd baselady. She bobbled it, but right to the first baseman, who picked it up and pegged the girl running to second for the 3rd out. there was a discussion about whether the run scored from 3rd before the girl was pegged and whether the runner made it safely to first before the girl was pegged. The 1st base ref said no, the other team whined like the ref was wrong and our team said that either way, it's still a force out and the run doesn't count. Had the runner made it to 1st before the out, then I think we all would have agreed the run counted, but this didn't happen and the streak continued.

At 8 pm, when the game was supposed to be over, their pitcher, who is also the head of all refs in the league, said the games goes until 8:10 due to the grace period...the game before us started late...however, i thought our game had still started on time. it seemed like they were really trying for every last chance to get that run in.

didn't happen. the D is too good. I consider myself a good pitcher but I'd give up a ton of runs if the D behind me wasn't spectacular. People were making catches on low line drives, people have fallen over bleachers and people have been run into to make plays on D. It's why we are 4-0 with 36 runs scored and 0 allowed.

It was a fun week of banter back and forth between the other team. I hope they know it was all in good fun. they probably realize that we take the game pretty seriously at this point, but when you are facing one of the top 4 teams in the league, that's what happens. There's been some complaining from their team that we only played the same guys in the field the whole game and people paid money to play in the league, therefore deserve a chance to play in the field during the regular season. To that I say, enough is enough. We'll run our undefeated, unscored upon team the way we like, you can run your 3-1 with 6 runs against team in pink however the fuck you like.

We do know it was all in good fun, don't you worry. You guys played great, we let some opportunities slip away and had a few errors in the 1st to allow those runs to score. Well earned victory, I will give you that.

I will not back down from saying that you should play those who have paid to play though.

I'm pretty sure the people on the bench like to win just as much as we do.

Why would the run have counted if the runner made it first before the runner to second was tagged out? It still would've been a force out, no?

Silly Addington.  reading this blog is like reading the bible, it's not there for the details.  Spend your time dissecting the specifics and you'll turn into an evangelical nut job.  But more importantly you'll miss the uplifting, over-arching message of the literature: you don't fuck with QP LIVE.
