Organizing a team for the Fall league.

[T Park]

Im organizing a softball team that starts play in November.

Id like to see all who would play on it, so that I can start organizing things now, cause the months of September and October are a bitch for me.


entry fee for yourself is not needed.

Im going to inquire Sports Chalet here in California about their uniforms in the price, and after I get how big they are and what not, get your sizes from you guys to get them ordered.

These jerseys that will be ordered are gonna be like the batting practice jerseys you see MLB teams use, its a mesh thats cool, but has stitching.


Hope everyone is able to play, can't wait to get home and play as Im gonna have a total blast.


Sincerely,


Eric :)

Table for 1.

[SequSpur]

coed or mens? what night of the week?

[NorCal510]

ill play

[Please_dont_ban_me]

I'd like to play.

Depending on the dates/times though. But if you get someone good who wants to play, feel free to put them ahead of me. I'm a Bball/Football guy...closest I've come to playing softball is the batting cages.

[T Park]

I dont know the dates yet


I think it starts November 15th.


Please Dont, Id love it if you played, hit the batting cages and get ready, Ill be hitting the cages on tuesday with my Easton!!


coed or mens? what night of the week?

Itll be coed and not sure what night.

Would love for you to play Sequ!!! :)

[T Park]

So is Senor Bishop paying for everyone?



1. How the fuck do you know my name.

2. Im paying the team entrant fee yeah. I was hoping that would attract more players.

[SequSpur]

I'm in, but depends on the night.

[Melmart1]

I might be able to do this, by when do you need to know for sure? I do seem to go out of town often but fairly sure I should be in town and not travelling around that time. Also, I should get to a batting cage and make sure I don't suck. But I know that female players are at a premium so if you need me, I will surely try.

[ShoogarBear]

If Melly is playing, screw the no cameras rule.

[MoSpur]

Count me in T-Park. The only way I will back out is if my knee gets worse or the nights and location are out of my league. If the nights are okay and its not too far, I'm in.

[SpursWoman]

The one thing to remember is that the Fall league is 5 weeks of double headers, not 10 weeks of single games like the one we're in now (If you're talking about wanting to play at Ancira anyway). Chris sounded somewhat interested...but I'm not completely sure I should commit until school starts and I get a handle on my kids' activities to make sure there are no conflicts. :)

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Please Dont, Id love it if you played, hit the batting cages and get ready, Ill be hitting the cages on tuesday with my Easton!!






Just an F.Y.I....I think you're actually supposed to hit the softballs, not the cages.










Consider that my free softballers' tip of the day.

:lol

[Melmart1]

Since its November and not hot, I don't mind the double headers. And I could care less if you take my picture if I play, as long as you don't take a pic of the moment I strike out :lol

[SpursWoman]

Since its November and not hot, I don't mind the double headers.

That's what Chris said. :)

I believe it might be nice to play when it isn't 400 degrees outside. :wow :lol

[Melmart1]

Yeah, you guys are real troopers playing right now, in July and I am guessing it goes all the way through August? Holy sweat buckets, Batman!

[SpursWoman]

Our last game is 8/27 ... fortunately our game this week is at 9:30pm, so it won't be so hot. The killers are the 4:30 games, but we only have one more of those. :)

[SpursWoman]

That's weird ... the last time I looked they called this one "Summer II" ... now it's "Fall I":

Fall II is the double header league, then...this one is 10 weeks.

[MoSpur]

I had to play triple headers one time in December. That was the last time. Will never do it again. I would freeze and couldn't run.

[T Park]

SDub, first off, totally understand and it would be great if you and Chris played I have no problem.

MoSpur welcome to the team, can't wait to meet up.



SpursWoman,

actually the league I was hoping for, I think starts middle of November.

[MoSpur]

Thanks T.

[tlongII]

So is Senor Bishop paying for everyone?


1. How the fuck do you know my name.

2. Im paying the team entrant fee yeah. I was hoping that would attract more players.

People like GiG are the precise reason I would never get a myspace account! :lol


I thought his name was Cartman?

[angel_luv]

I will come watch you guys play whenever I can.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

ease Dont, Id love it if you played, hit the batting cages and get ready, Ill be hitting the cages on tuesday with my Easton!!

Cool, count me in.

[Kori Ellis]

TPark is talking about Fall II starting in November. Not the league that starts in late August.


Fall II

November - December, 2006 (Doubleheader)

Doubleheader seasons are 5 weeks and have two games per night.
(Total of 10 Games).

[Please_dont_ban_me]

How long does one game usually last?

[Kori Ellis]

How long does one game usually last?

55 minutes.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

55 minutes.

Not bad...

So 2 games, and staying a little before/after. It's about a 2 1/2 hour event?

[TheRage]

Can Beer-Bellied Mescins play?

[SpursWoman]

Can Beer-Bellied Mescins play?


It's equal opportunity ... beer-bellied old women can play, too. :nerd :drunk

[King]

Is it at Ancira - and do we know what night yet?

[Kori Ellis]

Is it at Ancira - and do we know what night yet?

Yes, Ancira. I think they were talking about Sundays, but I'm not sure.

[jman3000]

If there's still room left, I'd like to give it a shot. I start school in about a month and as long as the games are on weekends I should be fine.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Erm, if it's Sunday's I'm out. Work 4-12.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

If for some reason I'm still in town, I'd be down.

[Das Texan]

i'm in tpark if its on the weekends.

[scott]

Sounds way too classey for me.

[T Park]

:lol

Scott as much as we have butted heads, id be honored if you played :)


Yeah, like I said before, it may be early to do this, I don't really know the dates of our games.

[Das Texan]

just keep in mind tpark, if its weekends, i'm in.


weekdays, i'm out, cause well i'm not in san antonio. :lol

[SpursWoman]

Yeah, like I said before, it may be early to do this, I don't really know the dates of our games.


You pick a day you want to play on ... and all of your games will be on that day. I don't think Saturdays are available, though ... so if you pick a weekend, it'd have to be Fridays or Sundays.

[T Park]

Alrigjht if I can do that,

what would be better for everyone?

Fridays or sundays?

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Fridays. :D

[Kori Ellis]

Who the hell wants to waste Friday night playing softball?!

Anyway ... TPark remember that you can only play 10 people at once. So 14 (7 guys/7 girls) is about the maximum you should have for your team.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Who the hell wants to waste Friday night playing softball?!

People who don't go out on Friday nights anyways. :D

(and people who work Sunday's, I can sacrifice my Friday for a few weeks)

[MoSpur]

I will probably have a better chance of playing if its on a Sunday

[T Park]

Alright looks like Sundays is preffered.

So is Sundays good with everyone?


Sorry Please Dont, If the majority of the people that want to play, say Sunday I gotta go with it, I still wish you could go :(

[scott]

:lol

Scott as much as we have butted heads, id be honored if you played :)


Yeah, like I said before, it may be early to do this, I don't really know the dates of our games.

Thanks for the invite my man. This fall is going to be the busiest time of my life, however, with my normal job, working to start my own business (self promoting thread forthcoming, hopefully!), and possibly teaching at UTSA. So... no can do. Sincerely, thanks though.

[Das Texan]

sundays is cool.

[T Park]

Scott, if we play again next april or may, hopefully life slows down enough that you can play.

Good luck with owning your own business. Itll succeed with you at the helm.

[SequSpur]

Sunday is good for me.

[T Park]

Awesome to hear Sequ.

You can be the David Eckstein of the team :)

[Das Texan]

speaking of owning your own business, i'm hoping to get mine off the ground and rolling sometime in the next 12-18 months.


well it would be a partnership, but thats close enough :lol


congrats scott.

[JoeChalupa]

I'll play if you don't mind someone who isn't the best now but knows how to play the game. seriously.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Sorry Please Dont, If the majority of the people that want to play, say Sunday I gotta go with it, I still wish you could go :(

All good, thanks for the consideration though.

[T Park]

Joe no prob, you could be the Julio Franco of the team :lol

[Das Texan]

and just what the fuck am i tpark?

[JoeChalupa]

Joe no prob, you could be the Julio Franco of the team :lol

Cool. I'm down. Check your PM's.

[T Park]

Got it, and welcome aboard!


Hey folks on the current team, is therea rule that it has to be 7 and 7?

Or can it have more guys than gals?

[SpursWoman]

On the field, you cannot have more males than females.

There are also all-men recreational leagues there, too, if not enough girls want to play. :)

[Kori Ellis]

Got it, and welcome aboard!


Hey folks on the current team, is therea rule that it has to be 7 and 7?

Or can it have more guys than gals?

The reason I suggested 7 and 7 is so that you can have alternates in case people can't make it one week.

Each week 6 girls and 6 guys can play. (5 of each on the field and 1 of each as DH -- DH is not a sub for the pitcher, it's just an extra batter.)

[T Park]

Thanks ladies.

Hopefully I can get 7 ladies in addition to 7 guys.

So far I think Ive got, 5 guys and, 0 ladies :lol

I might have read the thread wrong though

[Kori Ellis]

It actually looks like you have all the guys you need.

Guys
TPark
kris
Sequ
MoSpur
jman3000
JoeChalupa
Das Texan
Blaze (?)
(Is LJ playing?)

Girls
Melmart (maybe)

[T Park]

IS LJ PLAYING

That is a good question.


If he would've answered my IM on Yahoo the other night, Id prob know :lmao


Dang thats 9 guys, if LJ plays.


Man now im confused as to what to do :lol

[Kori Ellis]

Well I'm pretty sure Blaze won't play. He'll probably have a job in another city. So even if LJ plays, you'll have eight guys.

You could just field a Men's team instead of a co-ed team, but I don't know how hardcore those are.

Probably best to just try to recruit some girls.

[T Park]

Yeah 8, so Id need 6 ladays.


Ok Melmart, if you play, that means I need 5 more.


Hopefully Katy and Mandy would be able to play?


Kris's sister maybe.

[SpursWoman]

I've watched some of the men's rec games while waiting for ours to start and they don't look any more hardcore than ours are ... there are the good and the bad. :lol

[T Park]

Ok the registration for the guys is Close ed.

Ladies hopefully you can play, sign up here if youd like to!! :)

[Melmart1]

The registration for guys is closed already? DAMN! I am reasonably sure I can play, but if you can't find other girls or a chance to register for the guys-only league is re-opened, then I will step aside. Sound good?

[T Park]

Alrighty.


Ok, looks like Ive gotten so much interest from all guys, looks like Ill stick with it being an all guy's league.



I know theres a certain caped crusader wants to play, so Im gonna add him, and make it 8 guys :)

Need what, 5 more guys?

[Kori Ellis]

I'm guessing 10 guys play per team in an all-male league. So you just have to figure out how many extras you are going to carry.

[T Park]

Well Im discussing it with some others, i know this sounds flaky but Im gonna stick witht he Coed.


Im just gonna have to be an ass and decide who will play and who wont



For the ladies side Ive got just Melmart so far.


Katy?

Ginofan?


Spurswoman?

If you wonderfull ladies would join that would leave me 3 short, and maybe I could scrounge some others up to play.

I think my cousin used to play softball, I think Ill hit her up too.

[Kori Ellis]

Well Im discussing it with some others, i know this sounds flaky but Im gonna stick witht he Coed.


Im just gonna have to be an ass and decide who will play and who wont


.

You will probably rarely have to decide that. If you have seven or eight guys, probably most weeks only six of them will be there. People always have conflicts here and there.

[T Park]

Thats true Kori.

Sorry, I apologize for the goofiness, this is the first time I've had to organize a team of any kind, especially softball, so Im really really new at this.

[tlongII]

I've watched some of the men's rec games while waiting for ours to start and they don't look any more hardcore than ours are ... they are good in bed. :lol


WTF??? :oops

[SpursWoman]

:lol :lol

[ashbeeigh]

I would have considered playing, to be one of your girls T Park, but I'll be in Seguin all week and then I'd have to drive back and have 16 hours of classes and everything, so I'm sorry I can't pencil it in for ya.
