Sloshballing into 2008
While I promise some New York posts to commemorate my first ever (and fantastically fun) trip to the Big Apple, I'm going to use this post to give some page rank to the Sloshballer's website. The Sloshballers are the kickball team I play for on Wednesdays.
Not to toot my own horn, but last Wednesday, I almost single-handedly won the game against the best team from last year. I scored from third with two outs on a weak grounder to third where I slid under the ball and beat the force at home as well. That enabled us to get 3 runs in the first. I then managed to keep the other guys from scoring more than 2 runs by throwing two guys out at the plate in the late innings. I even used superior strategy, walking the bases loaded to get to a weak kicker for a 1-2 putout to end the inning.
We were significantly out-manned and under-womaned. We'll have to get into better kickball shape by the playoffs if we are going to beat these guys again because they have a lot of soccer players. We have a rematch the last week of the regular season. We also barely had 4 women show up, which is precisely the minimum allowed.
I'm normally quite modest in this blog, but if I'm going to give someone pagerank, I might as well give myself full credit for it :). I'm also going to exempt myself from any blame with respect to that page. I don't host it here, I don't know what's going on with the monkey game, and I like my orange color better. I'm sure future iterations will improve the look and feel of that page.
