Ok so we had another game last night, lost again. This one however, we should have won. We were winning 8-2, other team rallied to go up 9-8, we come up in our half of the last inning, i score the tying run, we have the winning run on 3rd, and this chick strikes out. Now normally I could accept this, except for a couple of things:

1. This girl was new to the team, her first game. She claims she has played softball for 5 years. I say sweet, some experience.

2. As the game progresses, I begin to realize she is full of shit.

3. She is on first base, the batter hits a popup. She takes off to second. The whole bench is yelling at her to go back to first. She does not. She gets all happy when she makes it to second. Second baseman catches the ball, throws to first, double play. She is befuddled. I would think someone who has played for 5 years would know you have to tag up on a fly ball.

4. She claims she can play 3rd base. So we put her at 3rd. The inning that they scored all the runs to come back, 4 balls were hit at her. 2 hard, 2 weak. The hard ones, however, were right at her; one she jumps out of the way, the second goes right through her legs. The 2 weak ones; one goes through her legs, the other hits her in the leg and bounces away. Then she stops and doesn't chase the ball, allowing the runner to go to second.

5. Not only did she strike out that first time, but since we had tied it we play one extra inning. The other team scores 4 runs in their half of the inning, thanks to some bad calls, some cheating by the other team, and some sloppy defense. We come out in the bottom half, put up 2 runs right away, stall a little bit, we're left with runners on 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs. Guess who comes to the plate? All she has to do is put the ball in play, they were playing horrible defense, we coulda kept the rally alive. But no, ball falls a foot in front of the plate both times, she swings and misses both times, strike 3, game over, Team Ramrod loses. Again.

6. After the game, shes complaining that her suede shoes got dirty.

7. I wanted to punch this girl in the face.

Ok yeah thats it, just an extension of my post on being ultra competive. When you lie about your ability to me though, that really sucks. We woulda been better off with the 2 girls we usually play with and leaving her at home. Oh well. We'll try again tomorrow. I still gotta write those papers. Damnit.
