I've got a dilemma...

  • If it's just for fun, I would take him for comedic value alone. If the situation later becomes too intense, just toss him out.

    Well if he's terrible then that makes it an even easier decision

    Not neccessarily....if the guy is both "softball guy" and "life of the party guy" (see my post above) then I say you take him. IMO, in a Rec League, "life of the party guy" is just as important as a power hitting short stop with great range.

  • No problem, I'll help you out and fill the position. Don't worry, I'm really good. I can send you my stats. I've been keeping them on myself ever since I turned 30 (gotta make sure I haven't lost a step- wink). Also I have my own uniform. I keep it in my trunk along with my bag that contains my bat, some balls, eye-wear and various other essentials. I'm just now recovering from a separated should (F you, Wendy) but I should be ready to play by next week.

  • If you are in it to win it, no way you take this clown. I quit playing softball a hunnert years ago because of people like this guy. They took all of the fun out of it for me and the rest of the guys with ability who were actually out there for a good time. I'd rather play co-ed league softball than tolerate a clown like this guy. fwiw.

    My coworker has started asking my other coworkers to talk to me about adding him. She knows I've been working on building the roster and Will most likely think I'm a huge asshole.

    She's the same one who will be pestering you to drop him when they break up. Tell her (nicely) to "GFY."

    I seriously, seriously doubt that "softball guy" is "life of the party guy"

    At least not in a good way

    It was this board, but it might have been before 7 was a regular poster.

    I feel like 7erps would have made HOF contributions to that thread.

    I'm the manager of team in a local adult baseball league. We're in the process of getting our roster together for this summer and we're sitting at 11-12 people. There is a guy who works in another dept (and dates one of the women in my dept) that really wants to play on our team. The problem is this guy is like 45 years old and is pretty much the textbook definition of "Softball Guy." I could use one more person on my team but Softball Guy doesn't really fill any positions of need.

    Should I just bite the bullet and let the guy play with us or should I keep pretending my team is full?

    No. And going further, if any attrition of the current roster is needed in the name of winning, you get it done.

  • I played against a softball guy 2 weekends ago. Montgomery County C/D rec league and this clown shows up wearing baseball pants, a tucked in jersey, and matching whatever the hell that softball brand of cleats is with two pairs of batting gloves in his back pockets. His team flat out sucks and he has them bringing it in and breaking a huddle in between innings, then he almost got tossed for arguing balls and strikes. We were beating them by at least 15 and he was screaming at them that it's not over and that they need to stop getting down. Hit a pop up that was caught 50 feet short of the fence and came back in wanting to inspect the ball saying it had to be because it had a soft core.

    shouldn't you be watching our air space instead of mocking AMERICA'S PASTIME

    My job is more... watching america's cyber space.

    RaiseHigh said... No. This is jtp's doing. He's kept me around for his bizarre HOF resume.
