Softball Weekend and A Bigelow Response

This last weekend was the playoffs for my work's recreation softball league. We were the 10th seed going into the post season, but we still had high expectations for ourselves considering we were riding a two game winning streak and our bats had really been coming alive lately. Our first game was Saturday and we actually got matched up with the team we creamed just a couple of days before on Monday. They were the 7th seed in the tournament. For the first couple of innings were looking bleak and the opponents quickly jumped out to a 4 run lead. But then our bats really came alive as we ended the game scoring 25 runs! We ultimately won 25-17. Spirits were high and drinks were flowing. I'm not going to say exactly what kind of drinks they were, but don't worry I stayed away from anything brewed I swear. I am afterall still trying to watch my figure.

Day two started really early...for a softball game that is. That game began at 8:45. Since this one was played near my apartment I was able to walk there. Except this time I also had to lug a case of water for the team. In hindsight it probably wasn't the best decision, but it did add some more exercise etc. to just a normal brief stroll. Unfortunately, game did not go nearly as well as the day before. To put it mildly, we got our asses kicked. Badly. I'm still having trouble sitting. But on the plus side, the experience of playing on this team and this league has been so positive that everyone was buzzing about where and when will we play next. So that was really cool. There wasn't that usual "Oh well see you next season" malaise that has been the standard for other rec league teams I've been on. And that was really cool. Especially since I like playing the game and my teammates are really cool too. I'm hoping I can talk them all into kickball. Soooo much fun.

And on another note, I don't know how many of you read the scant amount of comments that I usually get on this blog, but I actually got one from someone from Bigelow tea for my last post about drinking their green tea at work. I don't know if it was real or a hoax, but it was kind of cool. I'm wondering if I mention them some more in this here post, if they'll send me a case or two of their green tea so I can drink it at home as well. Since Bigelow tea is great not only first thing in the morning to wake me up at work, but also great at night when I'm winding down. I hope that works. Deb if you're out there still, hook me up.
