And It Gets Worst

March 14th, 2008, 9:00 PM PST @ Pan American Park

Just when you thought it couldnt get worst, it does. Hitmen (0-8) squandered another good pitching performance from Sam with more poor hitting and timely errors. We were chasing six going into the final inning and had a little nice rally going.

Then it happens.

A base running mistake by Kendy; he is thrown out at 3rd base for the 2nd out of the inning, killing all momentum. At least he didn't strike out in this game.

Don't blame him though, I was 0 for 4 in the LEAD-OFF SPOT. I quit.

Someone pull the plug on the season.

Local Boys 18, Hitmen 14.

Hitmen Continues to Struggle

March 7th, 2008, 7:45 PM PST @ Pan American Park

The Hitmen (0-7) continue to struggle to score runs (big surprise) and lose to the Brew Dawgs (5-2).

Kendy strikes out again! Sweet.

Lyno: "You're V for Viet. Kendy's K for strikeout. "

Batted: 1 for 3 with a walk. Suck.

Nightmare Season Continues

February 29th, 2008, 7:45 PM PST @ Pan American Park

I'm not sure if anybody has ever won a softball game scoring only three runs but that is exactly what we did on Friday and lost, 21-3 to What's Poppin (5-1).

Although we were missing a lot of our regulars (a common theme throughout this season), we played with 11 players and our best pitcher, Sam was there on time.

I batted twice and went 0 for 2. Terrible night.

The only highlight was watching Kendy strikeout. I've played with this guy for 2 seasons at work and he never struck out once. I think this was his 3rd game as a Hitmen (0-6). Way to do it for the Hitmen. Sucka!

Rained Out

February 22nd, 2008, 6:30 PM PST @ Pan American Park

Postponed.

Here's a message from our manager; he's not happy..

This is a heads-up. We've already forfeited one game this season. If we have to forfeit another one, we are DONE — two forfeits means that the rest of the season is cancelled, I will have to pay (another) forfeit fine, I will lose the rest of the money I paid for registration, and I will not be allowed to register for the following season.

And if THAT happens, this will be the last Hitmen Softball season. I'm not going to go around begging people to show up every week. IF YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE OTHER ACTIVITIES A PRIORITY, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE SIGNED UP FOR THE TEAM. Every time you do NOT show up, it means that the rest of the team has to run around and either find people to play for YOU, play shorthanded and lose, or forfeit. I know you all like snowboarding and there are things that happen on Friday nights, but if you fucking sign up for the team, the fucking show up.

All of you knew the games would be on Friday night. I can understand if work or family matters mean you can't show up. I can understand that injuries mean you can't play. I can understand if unexpected things turn up and you're gone for a week. Otherwise, if you made a commitment to show up, I expect you to be a man and show up.

I will not be looking new players for this week, or for any week from now on. If we forfeit one more time this season, we're done forever.

Can't Win For #*(&@$*(#

February 8th, 2008, 6:30 PM PST @ Pan American Park

Forfeit loss to Local Boyz. A big surprise: we didn't have a sufficient number of players.

February 15th, 2008, 9:00 PM PST @ Pan American Park

I was inserted into the leadoff spot and responded by going 1 for 5. This was a winnable game and was definitely our best game of the season. I think the final score was 26-20. We'd probably win if I did some kind of hitting. It might be time to hit up the batting cages.

Holler to Armando (Cabrillo HS Softball Coach) and Big Jacob for filling-in at first and short.

Hitmen Still Winless

Hitmen 15, Brew Dawgs 29.

No offense and three outfielders equals good game for the Hitmen (0-3).
