Win Streak Hits 5

October 29th, 2008, 7:00 PM PST @ LA Fitness Hollywood

I scored 8 points. We lost Marlon for 3-4 weeks with an ankle sprain. We led by 30 points and played with no refs. I thought the registration fees were for the refs. I guess not.

Softball Doubleheader With Two Teams

I barely have time to breathe right now. I need rest.

I made a couple bad decisions last night.

First off, it was Tuesday last night. And on Tuesdays they have a buy one get one free at Dominoes. I wasn't that hungry but I had a couple hours to kill before my softball game so I bought 2 large pizzas for just me and one of my co-worker. I took it to the game and ended up eating a box and a quarter before the game. I ate 10 slices.

Mistake number two was playing for one of the teams that was playing after our game. They needed players and they asked me. I said yes. The 2nd game ended at 10:20pm and I got home around 11 something. I got home, cleaned my room, stretch my dad, brushed his teeth, put him to bed, wash a ton of dishes, took out the trash, wrote out my weekly agenda and then crashed around 1am.

I am tired.

October 28th, 2008, 7:30 PM PST @ Pan Pacific Park

LegalZoom (5-1) stays in first place after smashing Throwdowns (4-3), 19 to 6. This game was over after three innings as we were up 14-0. We let Kendy pitch the last two innings and he only gave up one run. Easy win.




October 28th, 2008, 9:00 PM PST @ Pan Pacific Park

I pitched for the winless Watchmen against Prison Breakers and got them their first win of the season. I also hit a homer and got mad trash talking from the team we're gonna play next week. They gave us our only lost of the season.

Watchmen 17, Prison Breakers 13. Suckas.

LegalZoom (4-1) avenged it's only lost of the season against the Trojans (2-3) Wednesday night with a 70-66 win. The final score isn't indicative of how close the game was. We were up a good 7-12 points throughout the game. I believe we were up by 9 at halftime.

I had 4 points in a bad shooting game but I was really angry the whole game cause this guy knock me down and this other guy took my contacts off hah.

Looking Strong

October 18, 2008, 5:20 PM PST @ Banning HS

LBC (2-0) put 50 points in the first half en route to a 81-68 win over Zoom.

Our team looked strong for the second consecutive week, playing without Tom. Tom is too crazy. My little brother filled in for my older brother and we didn't skip a beat.

I had a solid game. Perfect from 3-land and shot over 70% for the game.

Dust Storm

October 14, 2008, 7:30 PM PST @ Pan Pacific Park

What a odd game.

The lights were out on the regular field so we had to play on the bottom field (which had no green grass). The dust was killer. I got home and my hair had a layer of brown dirt in it. I blew my nose and it came out black.

The umpire is one of the worst and slowest umpires I've ever encountered. He had a dog with him and took a break every half-inning to go say hello. The dog didn't have a leash.

It needed a leash.

That dog was all over our dugout but good thing it never went onto the field.

We should of lost this game. I was heated at the way we played defense. I haven't been that upset in awhile @ a softball game!

1-0

October 11th, 2008, 5:20 PM PST @ Banning HS

LBC 76, Sky Ballin 68.

Our first game had a good result (1-0).

Both teams ran with no bench. We were down 8 at halftime because we were getting zero calls. Killed them in the 3rd quarter. Up eight after three.

First Place

October 8th, 2008, 7:00 PM PST @ LA Fitness Hollywood

Move over LA Suns.

Stats: 3 pts, 1/2 FG. Limited minutes due to jammed left thumb (and new recruits).

Softball Doubleheader

October 7, 2008, 6:30 PM PST @ Northrup Grunman in Woodland Hills

We lost big to the Diablos, dropping the Rockets to 1-2 on the season. I think the difference was 10 runs, 14-4.

The girls present at these games are 10 times better than our work league so these games are worth attending hah.

I played short and 3rd, zero errors. Batted 2 for 3. Made an out batting left-handed.


October 7, 2008, 9:00 PM PST @ Pan Pacific Park

This was a bizarre game.

First, Benson, our catcher yesterday decided to bat left-handed for the first-time ever because he lost confidence with his right-bat. What a mistake. He takes the first pitch for a ball and then on the second pitch swings with full force. That wasn't the problem though. The problem was he didn't hold on to the bat and launched it at least 30 feet into the air and it went over the fence, our bench, and 2 people playing catch, heading for a occupied, white van. Everyone held their breath as it appeared it was gonna smash that van's windows into pieces. There was a lady sitting in the van with the window down in the driver's seat. She had no idea a bat was coming. Fortunately, it landed a foot short of the van and bounced underneath the van. No injuries, no damages. He proceeded with the at-bat left-handed and grounded out to the pitcher.

Second, Dave, our first baseman for the last couple season tumbled and fell trying to score. He managed to score in turn for a broken finger and damaged tendons to his right hand. He's out 6-8 weeks. Sweet.

Third and finally, we committed at least 12 errors in this game and I was getting heated. Our defense was worst than the Angels' and Cubs' postseason combined. We choke. But luckily we were able to put together a nice 5th inning and escaped with a win. Somehow.



The one out was my first at-bat, batting left-handed hah. Last four at-bats were right-handed. Time to give up switch-hitting.

New Roster, New Team

October 1, 2008, 7:00 PM PST @ LA Fitness Hollywood

We have officially added three new players for our LegalZoom basketball team and they're all pretty solid. Welcome aboard...

Some guy dropped 49 points on us Wednesday night but we still won..



Here is the email from Luis (the league coodinator):

Well last night was a ONE GAME night. It was a good game between Legal Zoom and Milwaukees Best. Ryan Lagod made it rain all night with eleven 3-pointers. Total points was 49!!! Marlon McNair led the charge for Legal Zoom with 30 points.


October 2, 2008, 6:30 PM PST @ Northrup Grunman in Woodland Hills

I heard we beat HealthNet by 1, 12-11, scoring 9 runs in the final inning. Must of been sweet. I couldn't attend. Teacher's Informational Meeting @ CSULB.
