How did you end up on THE TEAM?
Through LeighAnne and Carrie. I work with them and asked if there was an available spot on the team.
What positions have you played so far for THE TEAM?
Second Base, Third base, Outfield, Pitcher
Do you have a favorite? Toss up, Third or Second base.
Is there a special reason you chose 24 for your jersey number?
Same as Kobe Bryants number for the Lakers.
Did you play sports in school? No. What teams were you on and what school did you play for? I played on a Volleyball team, but not for school.
Besides your outstanding softball ability, what other talents do you have?
I am a certified Electrician, but have not worked in that field in recent years. I do enjoy working in my garden/yard, but not really sure that qualifies as a talent. Though I work in an art studio I am not much of an artist. I am a good organizer.
Can I have $50.
If you really need it, yes.

No More Mister Nice Team - Game 3
This is like living in a alternate universe. THE TEAM is 2-1 and looking solid all around. In the whole history of THE TEAM we were 10-30 but after our win 17-7 win against the Jensen Warriors we are 12-31. OK that's still a horrible record but the point is that we are having fun and winning is more fun than losing.
There is the matter of the VGITPOSA. Peter had the complete game victory. Destanie scored every time she got on base. There were double plays. Leigh Anne voted for CJ for her consistent play and ability to make sure THE TEAM was able to get those double plays. I was thinking Meredith for all that hustle. Of course Peter brought cake...
Lets give the VGITPOSA to Leigh Anne for voting at all. God bless America.
GO THE TEAM!!!

No More Mister Nice Team - Game 2
THE TEAM really should have cut loose after our win. If we are going to play like we are hungover, we might as well be hungover. The nice thing is that we fell apart as a team. We were united in our ability to crash and burn on the softball diamond. Of course it did not help that the team we were playing handled themselves the way they did. We may have met them in G League, but they were A League a**holes!
The VGITPOSA goes to Peter for breaking the seal and driving in Terrence for the first of our three runs.
GO THE TEAM!!!

#14 Leigh Anne
We have all answered these questions. Oh wait, not all of us. There are new people. Let's learn about #14 Leigh Anne.
1) How did you end up on THE TEAM?
I work with Carrie and used to work with Sandy. CJ suggested hubby Rob play on the team so he did, knowing the sports enthus that he is. The Team seemed like a fun place to be and great group of cats to hang with so I asked to play too!
What positions have you played so far this season? Do you have a favorite?
Do you have a favorite? Catcher, this being my first game today of the season. Otherwise I like the one in between RF and CF...rover? And I like catcher on hot days so I'm in the shade...he he he!
3) Is there a special reason you chose 14 for your jersey number?
I chose 14 cause my daughter's birthday is on Valentines Day.
4) Did you play sports in school? What teams were you on and what school did you play for?
I played softball when I was much younger...elementary school until I tried to catch the ball with my nose and fractured it...that was the end of softball. In high school I was on the swim team for all 4 years, I loved it and to this day if I could choose any sport it would be swimming...except to watch...Lakers take that one! Oh and I went to Glendale High.
5) Besides your outstanding softball ability, what other talents do you have?
I'm highly organized, I have useless info about all sorts of music and musical groups, I can wiggle my nose without moving my face, I leap tall buildings in a single bounce, I can always make someone feel better and I'm curiously strong at lifting things like an altoid.
6) Can I have $50
Absolutely!

No More Mister Nice Team - Game 1
THE TEAM is actually undefeated. Is it just me or should we be pretty proud? I took a poll and it came out 1-0 that we should be proud. We were ahead and then fell behind 7-4. Then it was 9-5. Then we had seven run inning to go up 12-9. At that point Lillian came back in and slammed the door. There was a home run by Dave and almost another home run by Peter. There was a great catch to end the game by Destanie. Strong!
Before these posts got sidetracked last season, I wanted to post a Manny Ramirez Is That Guy on Something Award for each game. Victor won one and seemed determined to get another one. I was sure he was going to end up in an ambulance. Manny is only batting .283 with 13 home runs and 54 strikeouts in the post-suspension narrative. (These aren't horrible numbers but are they worth $23,000,000?) Anyway, this season we are going to go with the Victor Garcia Is That Player on Something Award (VGITPOSA).
Game 1 is easy. Lillian gets the VGITPOSA for her great job pitching.

THE TEAM - THE BBQ
A great effort by THE TEAM. We are so much better at swimming and drinking beer and eating. Thanks to everyone who was able to be there and help go through almost three cases of Corona (There were 13 beers left and the end of the night), and 28 pounds of chicken.

The Team!!! Game...Whatever
Great effort yesterday for our second win a row!!! Have we ever been on a streak before like this? I feel sorry for the team we play next Sunday, for we will surely stomp a mud hole in them and walk it dry.
Props to Sarah for getting two solid hits when we needed them and keeping our offense going. Everyone had a good game all around, I think. I think we're finally cohesing. We're in cohesion. We're coming together as a team.
