As I look back on the season that was Fall 2009 of Rec league Men’s Softball at Treaty Park, I try to envision what went wrong.  I don’t actually know but I do know there were a lot of revelations this season. Despite some heated discussion on the matter, we learned time travel is impossible. This topic developed when George Rice tried to explain that time travel is like bath water running down the drain. “So the bath water is running down the drain right? And it’s going faster than me trying to stop it. Hence time travel.” I replied with “That’s stupid and... [Read more]

Ok before I get into some serious subject matters there is a few lighthearted things first. Ok George thinks he proved me wrong with time travel, however, he has a bit of a problem. Everything he posted were THEORIES. It is called superstring Theory not superstring fact. however, the thought of having parrallel universes for every time we travel back in time is fairly interesting it would answer the major flaw in time travel, why are there no future tourists? Because they never come back to our universe.  But if there is only one universe the one thing everyone says about... [Read more]

I had an unfortunate incident Monday night which precluded me from travelling with the team to the game against Big Belly Burgers. Considering we lost yet another game by the ten run rule, I’m mildly glad I didn’t go.

It’s because Kevin doesn’t need to be made fun of right now.) So if I give any incorrect information direct all criticisms to him. I mentioned we lost by double digits, and yeah that’s... [Read more]

Rich and I were discussing the new show Flashforward (8pmEst ABC) during the bottom of the 4th inning when we absentmindedly watched a flyout, a single and then a groundout to secondbase which led to an easy 4-6-3 double play.  We were laughing, not at the show but at the fact our team can’t hit. However, I arrived home and luckily I have DVR because the show only had 13 minutes left when I walked in the door.  I would have been able to watch the whole show if we had gotten ten run ruled like we usually do, but no we had to pretend like we could win.   Anyhoo,... [Read more]

Editor’s note: A retraction will be given for last week’s article. The author stated the team’s record was 3-6 when actually the record was 3-7. Thanks to Tim Rollins for catching this error, and in the process making the team look even worse than they already do.   So to answer Jerry Montague’s question, the origin of the first lyric to Eminem’s Without Me hit single comes from an old Appalachian folk tune and popularized by the 1981 rap song “Buffalo Gals” in which the chorus is “two buffalo gals go round the outside, round the outside” in Eminem’s... [Read more]
