atta kid!!

Wednesday nights is now the fall softball league. Mark's on a team with our church, and he really likes it, and it's pretty fun to watch. All the team members get along and all the wives get along. Last night we played a team that were pretty outspoken about the ump's calls. One guy even shouted at the ump big time when the ump called him out, he yelled something along the lines of "Aw come on! That was a tie and you know it! That's twice now!" with mixed swears in there a bit. Mark then went on to explain to his team that there is no "Tie goes to the runner" rule as popular vote suggests, and that really close calls like that are instantly judgement calls on the ump's part. So this guy stormed back to his dugout, throwing stuff and shouting. he stood the rest of the game with his arms folded or hands on his hips. Sorry Ladies, this is MEN's slow-pitch softball! And non-competetive, I might add! Simmer down!! You were behind by too much for that OUT on 2nd base to make a difference. The Riv (that's us) won 22-10. Oh, and last night was COLD!! But it was still fun. Mark tried to "dance" to home base (he thought the had called the 3rd out, not the 2nd out, so he thought he would touch the base before side change, thinking he was the 4th out. Oh well. AND, Mark did not come home unscathed. He (almost) always injures or cuts himself. Last night it was his left knee, he went to tag a base, the guy ran passed and Mark tired to slow down his run and crouch, he tried to use his knees for brakes. Yup, his knee was "gushing" blood. (It really just looks like a rug burn that went deeper than most rug burns. He's ok, and he will be playing again next week. :) He scored a home run too, yeah for softball!
