Dirty Birds...STRIKE AGAIN.

Our softball team is atrocious! We lost 27-1 this past week. That is really hard to do when you have a full squad and the apposing team only has 8 players. Maybe I am wrong, but the object of the pitcher is put the ball in play and let your defense field the ball, makes some plays and get you up to bat quickly. Oh well, the dirty bird team must not have gotten the memo. The outfield couldn't catch a ball if their life depended on in, the third baseman missed an easy pop fly right to him, because he tried to catch it with his bare hand! Brilliant I tell you, he said he forgot which hand his glove was on! Unfortunately, I believe he was serious.

Its also nice when our MALE short stop can't make the throw from short to first without hitting the dirt. I know I sound like a terrible teammate, but our players simply can't compete. We are already in the D league and collectively we are the worst team are still terrible! On top of that their attitude about losing was even worse. The coach was yelling at me (the pitcher) for not covering second base when the ball was hit to third. Apparently, he wanted to turn a double play and he knew that neither short nor second were going to a)get to the bag, b) catch the ball or c) throw it to first! However, being the pitcher I am suppose to know to do that. Okay fine...you want me to play the entire infield, I'd be happy to...FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO PITCH! I wanted to say that, but I didn't...instead I just started laughing, which of course didn't help anyone. The more I laughed the more pissed they became.

I on the other hand I had a pretty decent game. I went 2-2, both line drives up the middle. I was pretty happy. No RBI's this game, but hey I can't do everything. I also struck out 5 batters. They happened to be all the same batter, but at least I know to find the weakness on the other team and pounce on her. Pretty sad when the apposing team goes through their line up at least 6 times in a 5 inning game. After this season the catcher and I are going to be heading to another team. I don't mind losing when its close or even on the odd occasion when we are simply out played, but the Dirty Birds team is atrocious!
