Take Me Out to the Ball Game (Softball that is)

So I have to mention that I play softball. Okay well I sorta do. I know what you're think. What does she mean buy sorta. I am on a team don't get me wrong and we do a pretty good job for our wide variety of experiences between us. It is a city league in Chandler and it's co-ed. And it is actually kind of fun once you really get into the mood.

Anyway, when I say I sort of play I really mean that I am the back-up when the back-up can't play. That's pretty much how well I play. I suck when it comes to playing. And I'm not afraid to admit it. Everyone on the team is definitely way better. I am getting better at throwing the ball and catching it with thinking that I may get hit. But there are sometimes when it's being flung at me so fast I'm like crap it may hit me and I might duck out of the way. That's usually in practice. I don't do that during a game, only because when I do play I am usually the Catcher. And I am okay with. And I can be a pretty good one once in awhile. Like our last game I got two of the outs during one inning. And I was proud of myself. And since I can't hit worth crap during a game (I'm lucky if I even hit the ball) it made up for it, at least to me it did.

So what do I do when I am not out on the field you ask? Well I am the official scorekeeper of our team (Which is called the Oneders). Weird name I know but as my best friend, Manda, who came up with the name said it you have seen the movie with that in it you would get it (I think it was from That Thing You Do..... Maybe? I know don't know) We have had many names and many players come and go.

Okay back on topic. I take my score keeping job seriously. I'm not kidding. I am that good. SO in fact that the umpires all know I'm fantastic and come to me if something is array and the other team (if they are keeping score) messing things up. Which happened at one of the games. I also give order the chaos that sometimes happens and Manda (Our coach) isn't prepared or is stressed.

As I said we have done fairly well depending on what division we are in and right now we are 2-1. There are sometimes I don't feel up to playing and think of quitting the team but when I'm there I get into the spirit and know I love being apart of the whole thing. And I like the people on our team if sometimes most won't commit to things like practices or aren't on time to games and make us worry that we might have to forfeit.

But all in all it is a good thing that I am doing and will do for a while.
