DRaysBAY Softball Game!!!

by mrichardkent on Jun 6, 2009 8:18 PM EDT

It was an idea brought up around the World Series and then never again.

Whatever happened to it?

I know that we had some ideas of where and when to play this game... Mostly everyone agreed on springtime but that has come and gone.

Let's figure this out and make it happen.

Any ideas on when and where?

Oh and just because no FanPost is complete without it.

1. Upton's Lazy

2. DFA Navarro

3. Maddon's an idiot

4. Hitter Protection FTW!!!!!

Until Next Time,

FU@K OFF!!

I remember committing to, then having to back out of it.

If I recall correctly, there were only about 10 people willing to participate, which isn’t enough (or even close enough) to fielding 2 teams. I recon the minimum to do something like this is 7 per side.

I think part of the problem was the timing.

It was the off-season and most people were tuckered out.

People who will participate sound off!

One!

Yo

Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.

If this game is played in September I will definitely take part

Maybe I’m just an old fashioned BJ suck-off-er. (Good call Sandy)

I'm in just long enough for my knee to give out.

RD over and out.

It's a lawyer trick

Can’t trust those guys

Rays Win!

If we get enough people here I'm sure we can find other friends to fill out the gaps

In my softball league alone I can find a few guys that would play virtually anytime

I could be wrong though

So long, Sweet Lime!

I would fuck all y'all up.

I have a devastating fastball and a filthy slider.

Another question would be location

If it’s anywhere close to home I’d think about it.

by Longorious on Jun 7, 2009 11:57 PM EDT reply actions

I hear Al Lang is free

RD over and out.

by ReasonableDoubt on Jun 8, 2009 3:07 AM EDT up reply actions

That would be balling

YES.

Also, I’m down.

I'm not in, but I can suggest a location

Helen Howarth Park in Pinellas Park has a nearly full-size baseball field that would probably do nicely; regulation basepaths and distance from mound to home plate, the outfield is only slightly small (I think CF is 395’ from home plate), and the field is relatively new and in good shape.
