Are you ready for some softball? Good! Here are the deets:
- WHAT: 2012 Dodger Blogger Softball Tournament
- WHEN: Saturday, February 11, 2012
- TIME: The tourney starts at 8AM. Yikes!
- WHO: organized by M. Brown of theLFP.com
- WHERE: Big League Dreams in West Covina
- WHY: proceeds benefit the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank
Miscellania:
- Dodgers photographer Jon SooHoo will be there with glove and gear! So be sure to show up looking all pretty and stuff.
- A reminder from M. Brown: "Also remember to bring a box or bag of items to donate to the food bank the day of the event."
- Ahem.
UPDATE:
Also, a word from Fearless Manager:
I just saw the schedule for the tournament. I can't be there until the 1:00 pm game, as I will be in beautiful Lancaster with my son watching him tend goal for AC Brea. In my stead, I designate DB as interim manager until I can get there and lead us to glorious victory in the elimination round. I know I'm taking a chance trusting him with pizzas and pitchers of soda (now if it was beer on the other hand. . . ), but all should be fine until I get there.

Go get'em, Sons! And Daughters!
Early odds are on Johnny Blanchard taking home the MVP and triple crown. And in a down-to-the-wire race that will be decided by mere percentage points, the drinking battle between Dusty and Mr C won't be settled until the final moments
We are instituting daily practices at our precise geographic center, correct? I figure somewhere in Bell.
The liver needs a tuneup.
Mr C and I will likely have to have a one-keg playoff....no tears.
What a fine time to stop drinking.
I'm trying to recondition an old mitt in case anyone needs it.
I'll probably be the doof that buys all new gear for this and then never uses it again.
Cool, we can all use Nomo's new bat.
Schedule's up!
We take on MSTI on the Dodger Stadium field at...8am! (Hoo boy.)
^ Strike that. Read it wrong.
We take on Dodger Diaries.
Then we take on TBLA and MSTI.
@Orel, that sounds dirty
8am, 10am, 1pm. Playoffs at 3:30. CAN'T WAIT!
Wondering how strict the "no outside drink" rule is. There's two whole hours between games 2&3.
We get our one-hour pizza break in there somewhere.
Good thing i did not sign up. i would never make it to the 8am /10am games.
Posted the schedule. I wonder if we'll even have a quorum for the first game.
I should have signed up. I had always liked Tiger Stadium for some reason. Fenway not so much.
My money's on a Vin Scully is My Homeboy vs. Vin Scully is My Homeboy final.
Oh, wait, I can't bet or I'll get banned from exhibition softball.
Should I wear my Flaming Menudos attire? Or simply my middle-aged scruf attire?
Ready to win!
@ Neeebs
Same difference.
@RBN
Done and done. I'm actually sick with bronchitis so won't be in playing shape, but should definitely be in Don Zimmer shape.
8:00 am start time?! What i am in a under 12 soccer league again.
Someone better bring orange slices.
Only 10 days...I better start peeing on my hands tonight.
Aw geez...I'm an uncoordinated goof under the best of circumstances, let alone at 8am.
So are we all wearing #6? I already bought my shirt!
That's a good question: what the hell do we wear?
Josh: no hot pants

They are on clearance at the sports champions stores all over!
Karina, Karen, and I will show up in our blue/white uniforms with pom pom's.
(During said games we will drink Mr. C and Dusty's keg to enhance our ability to throw barbs at the opposing team)
Nothing like rowdy and obnoxious women to cheer you on!
Short cheerleader skirts?? Sweet!!!
Mr. C: no short cheerleader skirt
@CVF
Nice find!!!
I can buy all the extra clearence shirts in Fresno and Clovis, if people reimburse me and give me sizes, (portly, mumu, and comic book shop guy)
We're looking into printing team T-shirts but I have my doubts as to whether we can pull it off in such a short time.
Orel said "pull it off."
Dusty said "Orel."
LFP just posted. Rules, I tells ya, rules!
Rules, math, research...this is a sad day for me.
@Neeebs, why the asterisk?
@Meanie, my beloved sister, to me, ANY excuse is a good excuse to wear a short cheerleader skirt ;)
Guys, make me proud :)
Wow, I don't know softball rules. "3 and 1"--how about that?
And, box rule is in effect! Good to know.
Remember Team SOSG: 20 run mercy after 5 innings. Won't do any good to score all 20 in the first, so let's take our time.

@Orel "So be sure to show up looking all pretty and stuff"
how about snark?
If we keep getting our ass kicked and invoking the mercy rule, then it vastly increases our drinking time.
I was planning on wearing a wife beater, hot pink jogging shorts, cowboy boots (modified with cleats), and a fanny pack (to carry my chaw and eye black).
I so want to do the red carpet of such fine event
@Cliff
So just normal clothes then, eh?
@ Cliff Beefpile
That sounds like my cheerleading outfit only difference is my wifebeater is two sizes too small and has food and beer stains.
That sounds like you're describing Neeebs' mom.
Mr. C. Has graciously volunteered to be the courtesy runner for all the guys so we can go and drink after our ABs.
I am guessing this waiver form will almost make me laugh as much as the shark diving waiver I signed a few years ago.
Man, some of these rules are complicated. Hopefully, nobody gets too caught up in them.
Just sent an email to the official SOSG account on the front page with all my info.
Thanks, Bobby.
Karina, a snarky cheerleading outfit would work best.
@Paul 3:59pm
That was pretty much the Red Sox MO this past September, no?
@Karina: Paul said that my "real" name has an asterisk (in reference to DB's public mocking of my tardy payment.)
@Paul: I can review all waivers, but I charge double for work on the weekend. Ever hear of the "angry hour"?
Are you going to have everyone sign a supplemental Neeebs waiver?
When I last checked, the supplemental Neeebs' waiver was a one liner: "I got your waiver right here!"
