softball pet peeve

Earth, but the game just went on and on. There were a ton of long at-bats and a small argument at the plate.

 

I have never seen a regulation softball game go more than a buck and a half.

wild and wacky.

 

If you haven't seen it, it's not just cheering. It's intricately choreographed cheering. It's like they hand out a 20-page pamphlet of team cheers at the start of the season. And it's a nationwide epidemic.

 

More "Gahhhs":

One girl: "you got a piece of it....but we want all of ittttttt."
Rest of Team chants same thing, in a circle in the round sort of way...

Ugh

Another one that makes me walk away and go cover the baseball game instead:

"R-B, R-B, R-B-I" (team echos)
"Sally wants an RBI"(team echos)
"R-B, R-B, R-B-OOOOO"(you get the drift)
"Sally wants to drive one home"

Shotgun to the head please...I make sure to thank the coach in front of his players for when they are a team that <b>doesn't</b> chant.

 

I like "Shut up and play, BITCH!!!" the best.

 

"Fiver, fiver, hit a line driverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"
(Fiver, fiver, hit a line driver!)
Fiver, fiver, hit it right by herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
(Fiver, fiver, hit it right by her!)

And the best one yet, to the Ole, Ole song, for a girl wearing 99.

"Nine-nine, nine-nine, nine-nine, nine-nine!" (Nine-nine!)
"Nine-nine, nine-nine, nine-nine, nine-nine!" (Nine-nine!)

The next girl's number: 9.

My number of brain cells left: 2 1/2.

And for my trouble, I took a two hop foul ball off the old rump roast tonight while attempting to take photos behind first base.

 

"Holy cow! What a foul! Mooooooo-ve it over!"

Kingcreole's gotta gun. Kingcreole's gotta gun.

 

My softball pet peeve would be the stat keepers who don't know what a hit is. It's pretty hard to score just one run on 27 hits.

 

I rarely pay attention to these chants, but the one that made me laugh hardest (because I'm very immature) went like this for a hitter named Alexandria Butler...

(First Person screams): OH MY GOD I THINK I SEE

(REST OF TEAM SCREAMS): A BUTT!!!!!!

(First Person screams): OH MY GOD I THINK I SEE

(REST OF TEAM SCREAMS): A BUTT!!!!!!

(First Person screams): OH MY GOD I THINK I SEE

(REST OF TEAM SCREAMS): A BUTT!!!!!!

She batted four times in the game. I giggled like a school girl each time. Both because it was surprising and because it was completely retarded.

 

I can top that. Covered a state championship game that went 20 innings. Four rain delays, lasted three days. Started on a Saturday afternoon and ended Monday. Final score: 1-0.

 

I just got done with a 12-inning 1-0 masterpiece that went 3 1/2 hours.

Guess what: I re-rack and get ready for Game 3 in about 12 hours.
