Me vs. the Big Red Ball

Tuesdays nights is kickball nights. I love playing and have been playing for 3 seasons now. My hubby and I play on a MUSA league.  98% of the time it is fun, but when we play against people (guys) who take the game way too seriously, run up the score - it really stinks.

Our team is a melting pot, hodgepodge of people. We're together because a few people work together and then we've added people throughout the years. Overall the team has been together for 3 or 4 years. We mesh well together. We have fun.

The Tuesday league seems to be out for blood.

Last week we lost 13-1. The other team just ran up the score. I got mad - you just don't do that. And the funny thing is that we didn't care. It's one thing to play against a team that cares.  It's another thing to run up the score on a team that could care less and is out there for fun.

That brings me to tonight. It's a late game. 9:00 PM. Our babysitter has a track meet. Therefor I am missing the game tonight. But I think it will be canceled. Remember that snow yesterday - yeah, well it is gone, but now we have rain. The field is probably a mess and not usable.

Am I sad that I am missing, yeah. I like playing, but deep down, if the rest of the teams are like what we played last week, well, I am not sad cause that team was full of jerks. Not my thing. I'm out there to have fun and share kool-aid. Not stick to schedules and run up the score.
