Spurstalk Softball

[SpursWoman]

Sunday the 23rd is likely the first game of the playoffs. Don't worry so much about setting up a time to get together yet. They'll be playoff GTG's very soon.


But we want to kick ass.... :nerd :lol :lol


Any Sunday is fine with me ... my kids are in a diabetic coma by noon on Easter anyway. :spin

[katyon6th]

TheRage, who are you?

[TheRage]

i am all that is not... nothing that is all....

[TheRage]

it's me

[TheTruth]

we need to find a girl pitcher. that way we can have as many guys playing the other positions as possible. Girl pitcher and girl catcher leaves only 3 other girls for the rest of the positions. Girl at 2nd, Girl at 1st, and girl somewhere in the outfield.

[SpursWoman]

I think someone mentioned earlier about how gender is positioned on defense ... I read it doesn't matter as long as there are the right/equal number somewhere on the field.

:)

I have no idea if I can pitch or not ... I didn't think I could hit worth a crap and I proved myself wrong, so who knows. :lol

[TheTruth]

pitching just takes practice...i'm sure anybody could do it.

[katyon6th]

I wanna play 2nd

[angel_luv]

Don't forget I signed up to be team cheerleader. I'll come to all your games so long as there isn't a Spurs game that night.

[MoSpur]

If you guys are ever in need of someone like on an emergency situation, I will be willing to play, but I would need a heads up way ahead of time.

Anyone know of good batting cages around the airport area?

The Hack Shack is on Wetmore right before you get to Thousand Oaks (it's an outside one so weather matters)

Baseball City is on Austin Hwy & Walzem, (it's an indoor one) in the (delapidated) shopping center that used to have Builder's Square...or Woolco if you're as old as me. :lol

[katyon6th]

SW knows where all the good shit is.

I have hack shack t-shirts from when my brother played on their theam. Orange and blue, my kinda colors.

[katyon6th]

We need a team name and team colors, then we can start calling ourselves a team.

[midgetonadonkey]

Can we be called the Angry Pirates?

I've lived in a baseball family my entire life...I know all of the rules, I've just never really played. :lol

[katyon6th]

We gotta represent spurstalk in our name. I'm thinking it should be "ST _____"

[katyon6th]

I've lived in a baseball family my entire life...I know all of the rules, I've just never really played. :lol

Same here, grew up in a family with 4 brothers who all played ball. I decided to ditch dance lessons at a young age and join softball. My mom was devastated. :elephant

My brother played at Alamo Heights ... and my dad and a few others tried desperately to garner interest in a girls softball league so I could play, but there was never enough interest, so I was resigned to keeping score, announcing, and working in the concession stand. :depressed

And ogling, of course. :nerd

Now my daughter plays at Alamo Heights and there is almost nothing but girls softball. :drunk

[TheTruth]

i have been appointed manager

[batman2883]

team name will be Spurstalk.com.....everyone else who plays for their companies have their name on it like jack rabbits, x.t.c.

Colors should be easy. Black and Silver (or black and white)

Name... SpursTalk Mojo

[batman2883]

black and silver

[katyon6th]

i have been appointed manager

I'm the manager, fool.

Batman has said he'd coach for me, you can be assistant coach. You can sit on the bucket and eat sunflower seeds and yell stuff.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Has it been decided how we're all gonna pay yet?

[batman2883]

colors are black and silver, team name spurstalk.com

[batman2883]

we gotta represent

[samikeyp]

I can be a first base coach.

I can yell..."GO!" or "STAY!" :lol


Also like Mo....I can be used in an emergency.

[katyon6th]

Has it been decided how we're all gonna pay yet?

Not yet, payment doesn't need to be made until close to June.

[batman2883]

i think it should say spurstalk on the front of the shirt with a squiggy line that gets thicker towards the end underlining it with a softball at the very end......and the back will have names and numbers...........thats just my opinion though we are a team and i think we should vote on this stuff at the first team meeting...which you will make you will be cut.....ha ha ha ha haa

[batman2883]

kira made me say that

[midgetonadonkey]

Do we use our real names on the back or the name of our favorite celebrity?

[samikeyp]

You should have your screennames on the back. :p

[batman2883]

im going to have either "im awesome" or "batman" one of the two

[katyon6th]

my shirt is going to say...

katy bo baty banana fana fo faty me my mo maty

KATY

[midgetonadonkey]

So you won't be going by Kira?

[SpursWoman]

colors are black and silver, team name spurstalk.com

If that's okay with Kori ... she may not want us embarrassing her like that. :lmao

[TheLie]

katys shirt will read kira...

[katyon6th]

So you won't be going by Kira?

Hell no.

[katyon6th]

#5 is my number too

Holy crap ... I was on this design-your-own shirt website and that's exactly what I was doing.

They'd be pretty expensive, though... :depressed

[samikeyp]

If that's okay with Kori ... she may not want us embarrassing her like that.

Black shirts with "mojo" in white or silver across the front. (or white shirts with black lettering)

That would look good and probably not be terribly expensive.

[TheLie]

Holy crap ... I was on this design-your-own shirt website and that's exactly what I was doing.

not through kira's people

[TheLie]

no black and white mojo crap we arent odessa permium

[SpursWoman]

not through kira's people


I know ... I was just messing around. My boss isn't in the office today. :lol

[SpursWoman]

#5 is my number too


Well, since that's the number I wanted ... I'll take 6.


User can be 9.


harharhar

[katyon6th]

That works out well.

[samikeyp]

Mojo is a perfect representation of the club. Despite the possible references to Odessa Permian.

Its cool though....i'm not on the team so I don't have a vote. Just a suggestion to my friends.

Bravatars would be cool too! :)

[Silver21_Black20]

I want #20!! :)

[batman2883]

batman will have 1/2 or 1, one of the two

[midgetonadonkey]

Why don't you get 1 1/2?

[Das Texan]

form another team so i can play on that team.


thanks.

[SpursWoman]

It wouldn't do the "/" in 1/2 ... I tried! :lol

fucking pimp but try it with a black shirt with silver writing

[SpursWoman]

fucking pimp but try it with a black shirt with silver writing

That was my original choice...but I thought it'd be really hot (June, July, August) ... but I'll try it as soon as I get back to work. :p

[katyon6th]

What's the cost on a shirt like that, SW?

[batman2883]

gray and black is jack rabbits colors when we play them it would be freaking confusing

[SpursWoman]

If I do only silver/grey on the front, I can get them below $20/ea ... XXL and bigger cost a little more...and that includes all of the letters/numbers/design.

They say 7-10 days total time to arrive for printing & (free) shipping.

[SpursWoman]

I liked the black ones better, too. :lol

[TheTruth]

i am going to be number quattro

[batman2883]

whoa i thought you can get them cheaper for us kira?

[Kori Ellis]

i have been appointed manager

Aren't you playing?

I thought the manage/coach should be someone who isn't playing.

[batman2883]

thats not true , fluffy is not the manager, and yes the coach/manager can still play they usually do

[SpursWoman]

whoa i thought you can get them cheaper for us kira?

I'm sure she can ... I was just playing. :)

On that site, once you design it they'll give a quote...all you do is enter the number of shirts. I could get it lower on a cheaper t-shirt, of course...but probably not as low as what Kira could get.

[KEDA]

Ill be the manager

hell I just want to sit in the dugout and drink Miller Lite all day!

[katyon6th]

whoa i thought you can get them cheaper for us kira?

My younger brother's gf said she could get us the shirts with our team name or whatever design screen printed on the front in one color for $5. I'm waiting to find out about the back, it would be done in vinyl so it's probably going to cost $5-10 ea.

[KEDA]

I know they can. I just thought normally they shouldn't.

No alcohol in the dugout. :)

[batman2883]

5-10 bucks for the shirts is a freaking awesome price and i would love to get them done asap.....ya dig?? lol j/k.....but seriously hurry up and set up a date so i can schedule it into my black book and make sure nothing else is happening

[SpursWoman]

Oh sweetheart, please don't call me Kira, only retards like bat do that.


Sorry...I don't know what their reasoning is behind it, but I think it's pretty. So is Katy, though...so, you know. :lol

Can you see what she'd charge for a jersey shirt like that ... or one with capped sleeves or sleeveless?

[katyon6th]

Why don't you set up a date, Bat? As manager, I am appointing you to set the date.

[katyon6th]

She gave me a price on regular t-shirts. I'll ask about the jersey shirts and sleeveless too!

Umm.. could be the first game of the Spurs playoffs. If so, half of the team will probably be at the game at that time.

[TheTruth]

we don't need to have a team meeting. we can discuss all of this stuff at the first practice.

LJ can have it. I'll take 13. I like 1 and 3 so I'll just combine them. Unlucky my ass!

[SpursWoman]

[SpursWoman]

I took the white "2006" off (which I forgot to the first time) ... and it dropped the price to $18.30/ea. for 15 shirts.

:angel


If I ordered 20, it makes them $16.50/ea.

I get that. But calling a team meeting on the night of possibly the first playoff game of the year and then saying if you don't show up, you are out, isn't cool.

[batman2883]

and i for one am not ready to be forfeiting games i love playing cause its fun and the comradery that comes out of it can last a lifetime...think about it we play together, we drink together and we watch the spurs together...what more can anyone ask for?

[batman2883]

I get that. But calling a team meeting on the night of possibly the first playoff game of the year and then saying if you don't show up, you are out, isn't cool.
okay kori when will the playoffs be over if the spurs make it all the way again?

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

I'd take 23 or 21 if available

[batman2883]

either way if thats a playoff game ill move the meeting to that saturday ill let that one slide.....

[Kori Ellis]

okay kori when will the playoffs be over if the spurs make it all the way again?

June 20 something.

[batman2883]

then we will be playing games on most likely game days during the playoffs, so either way we are going to miss some games

[Kori Ellis]

either way if thats a playoff game ill move the meeting to that saturday ill let that one slide.....

That's logical. Game 1 will be either Saturday or Sunday.

Well, I was asked to play because you guys desperately needed girls on the team. I told SW that I was on a team and then suffered a bad ankle injury which kind of scared me off. If you're looking for diehards, it ain't me.

[katyon6th]

[batman2883]

designashirt.com

[katyon6th]

I was trying to find a font similar to the one used in the Forum header... :)

[jcrod]

Can you see what she'd charge for a jersey shirt like that ... or one with capped sleeves or sleeveless?


Thats the kind we have button up sleeveless jersey/mesh type. They can get expensive, ours with stitch on letters and numbers cost $57 each, but we had a sponsor. I think they got them made at Gametime sports.

BTW, I like the ones you designed, they look cool. I would stick with those, unless K can get the same ones at that price.

Also Bat, they're cutting down on drinking in the dougout, no can do.

I didn't read all the posts - so what nights are you looking at playing? I played baseball all through high school, about 30 seasons total (seasons, not years) - and have made the rounds in softball. But, what is there to discuss at a team 'meeting?'

I understand the anger at people not showing up later in the season, but a team meeting isn't going to change whether or not people show up eight weeks later.

[SpursWoman]

Okay...Easter is over...when are we practicing?


I can hit pretty good, but I found out this weekend in a friendly backyard game that my throwing sucks and my catching is questionable. :oops :lol

[Ginofan]

I think we should get together sometime in person in the next 2 weeks or so. We need to check out who's still serious about this, get a head count, and discuss the fees and shirts and stuff. Then work out a set practice schedule...

[MannyIsGod]

Whats the deal man, whats the deal.

Sup? :wtf

Anyone interested in this again? I'd love to play some softballlll.

We're always in for softball. :cooldevil

[Dr. Gonzo]

I'd wager that your wife is better than you. I think she's better than me and I'm from the other side of that island in your avatar.

I'm pretty sure she is better than I am. She can run the 90 feet without getting winded and having to stop for air. I'm still not sure I can make it that total distance.

How did that 2006 softball team end up doing?

[Dr. Gonzo]

How did that 2006 softball team end up doing?

They won State.

Even if it involves being a cheerleader.

They won State.
