Don't want to know how badly we lost

You don't want to know how badly we lost last night. I didn't ask about the scores, because I didn't want to know. And player-manager Tom Steinbring put the book away faster than I've ever seen it disappear after a game.

Hoggsbreath, my usual softball team, is not cut out for the Blaine league in which we play. We got hammered last night -- twice.

I got to the game late, because Blaine is in the middle of nowhere, and ran onto the field during the second batter of the game. I played left field and third base in that game, going 1-for-2 at the plate.

In the second game, I pitched, gave up a lot of runs, and hit 1-for-2. On the year for this team, that makes me 3-for-8, a fact about which I'm not happy. I'm not being patient at the plate.

I’m not posting a story about my softball team this week because we lost badly, too. I didn’t play and I wasn’t able to go to the game, but I found out the score and it wasn’t pretty at all. The worst part, I was told, was that the other team rubbed it in.

I also share your problem in not being patient. I routinely swing at the first pitch that comes my way, and I pop out almost every time. I think I also hurt my arm during my last game.

You're like the coaches who don't report the bad stuff their team did.  

By the way, an injury is a good way to get out of playing. Yeah, go with the sore arm thing. That always goes over well. Or you could be a man and buy a couple of rounds of batting practice at Grand Slam in Eagan.

Play against me and you'll get a free batting lesson.
