I heart my pitches.

This may be hard to believe but not only am I an athlete, but I am a part of the reigning championship softball team in the Corporate Co-Ed Wednesday Night 5:30 Summer Season league at Twin Creeks. I know! Get out, huh!

We started another season about 3 weeks ago, and won AGAIN, tonight. The pressure is really on, but I think we are used to it because we've been playing for, like, 7 years or so and make it to play-offs every single time. We actually went thru a change in management this season as our former coach, Keith, decided to move on to coach his daughter's team in a different league. Weak. And traitor.

So with new management, Michelle and Farnetti, comes name change. We are now, Where's My Pitches? And given we are now at a record-breaking 3-0, I think: new name, new game. Here are my Top 10 observations on why I think our pitches look especially promising this season:

1) We pretty much have rights to say "Move, Pitch. Get out the way" anytime someone takes our table back at the clubhouse. We earned it. That's called confidence.

2) Churn. Got rid of Wes, couple seasons ago. Now Keith. They may think they are the Dara Torres of softball. But that's just it. They are the Dara Torres of softball. (how do you pluralize Dara Torres?)

3) Our bench is deep. I can put my feet up when I lean back.

4) Babies. The more children the men have, the more likely they will actually show up for the games. I believe that's geniune team loyalty, which frankly, brings a tear to my eye.

5) Sawicki pitching. He only lets maybe 3-4 people walk per game.

6) Cleats. I guess most my team wears them - I don't personally because I am holding out for pink ones - and I hear they work.

7) Boston Red Sox. I don't think anyone on the team likes them.

8) We're dang smart. And the reason why I say that is because I don't think anyone on the team, except maybe Angie, would try #1 (above).

9) We have two Koreans, directly impacting #8.

10) Ok, Dara Torres was actually really good. We now want Wes back and aren't to proud to admit it! Come back, come to the light!
