My kickball league-

-We played a game a couple of weeks ago, short-handed since we didn't have enough women. Instead of it being a forfeit, which technically it's supposed to be, the other team said what the hell, let's play for real. So we beat them. Now they're protesting and trying to get the game called as a forfeit instead. They've even taken it up to the City League board, which called a vote- a vote which after much political shenanigans, ended in a 4-4 tie. The matter is now being taken up by the League Board in D.C.

- My captain (my captain)- of the video highlight tape, numbered jersey and stats- sends out an e-mail every week listing our averages. One of the women on the team got offended when the captain took away one of her "hits" (or whatever you call it in kickball) because it was technically a Fielder's Choice. So she sent an e-mail complaining to the captain that it should be a hit, told him that some guy at her office backs her up, and that her average shouldn't be what it is. The captain refused because the rule's specifically say a Fielder's Choice is not a hit (it isn't) and wouldn't give her the hit. So she quit. Believe it or not, she's a laywer.

-During the game tonight, the captain of the team belittled the pitcher for not covering a bunt. And my captain has forbidden any guy on our team from doing a "man-bunt."

The worst part of all this is that I'm doing some serious slumping and I'm batting like .187. Whoever picked me for their Fantasy League Team is probably pretty bummed right now.
