Softball: The Compelling Craft of Recreational Blends
Dear People,
After staking our claim to the sensually moist tundra of semi-elevated centerleft field, 10 of our most courageous and aerobically passionate athletes took part in the finest match of ultimate frisbee played with professional football rules that I’ve ever experienced, and I’m not just saying that because my team barely staved off Chris Fure’s, 28-0. In all candor, my quarterbacking was objectively magnificent (certainly more focused, mature and nuanced than Eli Manning’s), and while I don’t usually call double reverse sweeps on slippery terrain, there’s something about running down the field with a cold, crisp frisbee in hand that liberates the inner kinesiologic child of all who partake.
Oh sure, every one of us looked like a nutjob, but I also happen to believe that every game ever created could easily be improved by a little regulatory cross-breeding with a completely unrelated sport. Indeed, I’d like to suggest that as we prepare for our first softball release in three long weeks, we should embrace this notion by accepting that for the first five innings, we will play by the official rules of the Estonian Federation of Torso-Oiled Greco-Roman Wrestling. At a minimum, I think we can all agree to that, and therefore there will be a game at Codornices this Sunday at 11, IF I get enough commits by this Friday morning…Ray

Softball: Party Rules
Dear People,
There will be a game at Codornices this Sunday at 11AM, and as of now there are still two slots left.
Please bring $3 for the field, which for this week only includes a special post-game plurality of California’s uncommitted super delegates for your own personal use…Ray 845-7552
