Wow. Our very first injury of the season. I feel sorry for poor Ryler, and I have yet to get word on his condition. I give credit to Franz and Moss for starting to raise funds for his medical expenses, and to the young, Mercurial Pirata for getting ice to our fallen player faster than I would have. I sprinted to the Nest to get ice, and I was just across the street when I see the quick Pirata already bolting out of the Nest with a full bag of cold goodness.
We used to have a Nurse, but she would not have helped Ryler's broken hand, wrist, or arm. We must get a first aid kit, though really what Ryler needed was the Emergency Room. Hopefully, B.A. and Jesse Ballgame will organize a Tuesday Night Fundraiser at Black Betty.
THIS IS THE RISK YOU TAKE WHEN U PLAY SPORTS. I am in it with ya. I am older than most players, and I have no medical insurance either. Furthermore, I participate in physical activities far more dangerous than Kickball, such as routinely biking around our Great, Dangerous City. I could be fucked at any time, yet I continue to play and bicycle.
However, I am going to start getting in the face of all retarded players. For instance, last Sunday, at the Red Monster, I kicked a ball down the third baseline, and i was sure to get a single. The third baseman threw it to first, the throw was way off the bag, the first baseman completely blocked the baseline, and we collided. Of course i was pissed. The first baseman has no business blocking the line: it's dangerous, unnecessary, and stupid. The greater the aptitude our players have, the less injuries we'll see.
Also, take time to stretch and do calisthenics. I know it sounds gay, but being in shape is cool when you play sports. David Wells wished God would remove his girth, when he should spend the off-season on Weight Watchers and treadmills.
Getting to other subjects: if you're on a team, please umpire, and get your team to start bringing food for yourselves. I love being Home Base Ump/Lead Chef, as it's a great tradition. The food I help arrange to bring is for the O'Sleeves, the Daggers, the Umps, the Cops, and the other Directors. So, if you are not one of those people, I am not providing food for you. Please bring your own, and we'll help you cook it.
One random thought: I love the Pink Corvettes and am jealous as hell that our beloved Elizabeth Decoursey won't let me play on it! But Liz knows she can do no wrong by me, and I will continue to impose myself as lead fan, promoter, and Machiavellian General Manager. I love you Vettes!
I hope everyone has been having a good time. The complaints have been few, yet i have heard them and reacted to them properly. Anyone can always write the directors. However, I think 99% of us are happy, so, GO BK.
The website overhaul is nearing...stay turned for a better look, more frequent updates, and an Orphanesque trash-talking forum.
