DaBears Softball Club

I guess DaBears still are, but their all time lead in the series is shrinking fast… More on another Cubs come from behind 6-4 victory later.

First though, we need to discuss how the hell it is possible to anger 2 Reilly’s on a night when DaBears Nation had so much fun. How is this possible you ask? I give you SUCOC of the Church League.

Some of my favorite aspects of playing against such good wholesome, church going people:

1. They hold grudges
2. Believe that after 2 years that revenge is the best solution to problems
3. Can’t see that the team they were playing was just having fun
4. Think that it is OK to bat out of order to try to injure another team’s player – after failing to injure him in his previous run through the lineup

Sure, these facts angered some of us. But, at least they threatened to “get us next time with their A Team” as we prepare to play another SUCOC team sometime this season where they have promised to load up the team with some of the guys from this team.

I would like to apologize to Softball Jesus and Wagnon for yelling from the parking lot while they were listening to the SUCOC guys defend themselves, but I would also like to tell you all the funniest part of the story: On the way out to the parking lot, the nice big First Baseman for SUCOC, who almost took Danny’s head off twice came up to me and told me that (a) he did try to hit at Danny the first time and (b) he did bat out of order in the next inning, but (c) he didn’t try to hit it at Danny that time. Obviously, to this nice church-going human, the fact that two years ago they were the team that we played on the night of the Honza plus the fact that we were “making a mockery of the game” by laughing, joking around and apparently “rolling the ball back into the infield” was all the justification one needs to deliberately try to hurt the opposing pitcher. At least he admitted it and told me that he did not try to do it the second time! I guess that makes it OK. Thanks Asshole.

On to a game where Jesus would be more proud – Bears vs. Cubs 14. This game was funny and crappy through 6 innings and it looked like when DaBears went up 4-2 that their lead would be more than enough. DaCubs then erupted for 4 huge runs to take a 6-4 lead that proved to be insurmountable for the Old decrepit Bears. The series now stands at Bears 8, Cubs 6.

As much fun as that game was – still angry!

Stay tuned for pictures later today. Now, please use the comment section for whatever you would like to discuss.

That’s right – the Mighty Hurricane Ditka remains undefeated 7 weeks into the season! Here is a brief rundown of the exhausting night for DaBears Nation:

9:30 – Ditka beats Misfits 15-11. FACT – If you give The Undefeated Hurricane Ditka 70 days to prepare – they will kick your ass. Look out, team that plays Ditka on December 28!

8:30 – FACT – Old Bears get tired and hurt, and probably should not play out of position… I’m just sayin. DaBears lose 22-13.

7:30 – FACT – Dirtbags are a bunch of illegal bat using jerkoffs. That fact, combined with crappy hitting by DaBears spells defeat. DaBears lose 13-4.

6:30 – FACT – According to Norm, DaBears are undefeated lifetime in their first game back after taking a month off in the middle of the season. DaBears win 14-10 over First Baptist Green.

Highlights of the night include:

• Danny played the outfield for the first time in years for DaBears

• Jimmy went 9 for 9 with 4 walks on the night

• Bo was 5 for 6 in his first 2 games of the night

• Jeffrey went 6 for 8 in the first 2 games. Was this conversation stolen from Jeffrey’s house?

• It was good to have Poochie out there last night. Check out some of his fine work:
