Softball Meet up?

[Troutstanding]

Sorry, not sure if this is an okay spot for this.

What happened to the Angelswin Softball meet up? I had a lot of fun at last year's...

Everyone decided to get their Tommy John surgeries done during the spring so next summer looks good.

[greginpsca]

This year there was no spring fan fest. No summer fan fest( no softball or golf), and the team has sucked big time. Coincidence??

[Ohtaniland]

Attendance is down at all levels.

we should have a yacht race

[John Stellman]

How about Sunday afternoon 'Beer League' softball?  I'll bring a keg!

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

I would play. But, the medical staff has said I have slight dehydration.

Would love to, but after watching the Angels this season I've become an alcoholic.

Having about three six packs on board when you go to the plate ought to make the Angels recreation that much more authentic.

As an alternative you can watch most Angels game if you miss the softball game.

I'm out this year. Arte cut expenses.

I was watching the Chicago softball league near the park where I am summering and those dudes had giant coolers full of beers and were pounding in the dugout.

I don't know of any parks in OC where that would be permitted.

Also, of note, is that in Chicago they play rec softball with a larger ball and no gloves.  Apparently broken fingers are common.

I never thought I'd say it but the longer I'm out of California, the more I realize what a f***in' disaster it is, and how much better life can be elsewhere.

We are glad you are gone as well.

Love it here, just wish the winter rains would finally return to SoCal for the first time since early 2011.

(Insert gratuitous AO joke about the weather thread.)

I for one wouldn't mind seeing the rest of the season rained out.

only if my boy Straddling goes

 

or AO, i read all of his posts back in Tom Arnold's voice

or Lou, his Bruins cheerleader avatar is like 8 years old.  That girl in there is seriously like 27 now.

[Blarg]

AO's posts read better in Cliff Clavin's voice.

F'in Dipoto!

Depending on when I could get out there and play.  Pulled my left quad playing in a tournament three weeks ago.  Then tried to play in a one day tournament last week.  I was able to play but strained it again.  I wasn't able to play the outfield because of the running so I played a below average 2nd base.

I played softball in Omaha with a few guys from Chicago. They were shocked to learn that we didn't use the larger ball. Just a weird cultural thing.

[Stradling]

I watched softball in Central Park a few years back and they used a softball that was like a smush ball.  I don't think it could be hit more than 200 feet.
