I am actually getting a little misty.
I thought that was Bartish. I can't believe he fell for the "it's black tie, we'll be wearing tuxes" ruse again. Sucker.
By the way, Bart, I think you and I should consider suing the current administration of the softball team for besmirching the fine name of Schmoozin' & Boozin'. A forfeit due to lack of players?!? For shame.
I bet they don't even have anyone willing to run the bases on Tuesday mornings to make sure the fields are playable.
Actually, there is an update on that saftball game. Bjron and I were likewise disgusted at the forfiet. Bjorn decided this was our opportunity to restock the teams with giggling girls. So we made a few calls (including to Arch, cancelling the forfeit) to all the giggling girls who are willing to drink and play softball. Well, to make a long story short, it was just Bjorn, Ammer, Stubbs and I at the game. Bjorn's plan of a Playboy Team East died as quickly as it began.
Stubbs played OF, Ammer SS and Bjorn 1B. I pitched. We lost 172-1, after three innings.
Budelski - you are right. Seriously, what the hell is going on. When this team was started, we were so geeked up to play that I would routinely leave work to check on the status of a field and then call Dan Burk to tell him that the field was fine. We never had an attendance problem and often had so many people that we routinely told both Max and Todd that the games were at different fields. The name should be retired - this team is not worthy.
I should also add that on a number of those occassions, I would meet with Bud to discuss the condition of the fields. Man - we really did love softball.
You two can get all misty all you want. Team got better when you left.
I know you don't mean that, Murph.
Are you kidding me? I agree with Murphy. When Bartish left it meant that the first basemen never had to catch a two hopper from the shortstop and Calloway could finally replace the debacle that was Bud at 2nd base.
Yeah seriously Bart. S&B WON when you were in Texas and off the team and guys like Dave joined the team.
Dave Dave Dave. If you love the guy so much why don't you marry him.
A few points that need to be addressed:
1. There would be no S&B without the Lil's (Bart and Bud).
2. The title was won in 2000 (and the runner-up in 1999) with Lil' Bud at the helm of the finely tuned S&B Machine.
3. Bart is the UC Law School's Pat Tillman: he left a glorious law league softball career to defend Texas from terrorism. You should be having a Lil' Bart Remembrance Day. Have you even retired his number? I know what you're thinking, Bart did not die of friendly fire in Austin, but you can't doubt for a moment that there weren't dozens of other army guys down there itching to take a shot at him. It's a bigger achievement that he survived at all.
4. Is Dave Ammer going to change his name to Dave Beamer?
