SB Bad Meets SB Evil .. Raise your Softball Lighter Bravery your right where you should be

Love the Song Sky Full of Lighters
which combines the skills of Bruno Mars and my main man Eminem. The chorus of :
"This one's for you and me
Living out our dreams
We're all right where we should be
Lift my arms out wide
I open my eyes
And now all I wannna see
Is a sky full of lightets, a sky full of lighters"

Makes me think of all we have gone through on Bravery this year
 dealing with internal and external obstacles. But through it all, it has made us better players and closer as we earned our way to the championship.
 It hasn't always been pretty
and to all the critics, doubters, and haters out there as I would like to quote Eminem on this deep as inspiration song when he raps

"By the time you hear this we will have already spiralled up
I would never do nothing to let you cowards fuck my world up
If I was you, I would duck, or get struck like lightening,
Fighters keep fighting, put your lighters up, point em’ skyward uh
Had a dream we were king, I woke up, still king
This softball game’s nipple is ours for the milking,
Till nobody else even fucking feels us, till’ it kills us
I swear to god we will be the fucking illest 
There is or there ever will be, disagree?
Feel free, but from now on I’m refusing to ever give up
The only thing I ever gave’s using no more excuses
Excuse me if my head is too big for this building
And pardon me if I’m a cocky prick but you cocks are slick
Poppin shit on how you flipped ya life around, crock-o-shit
Who you dicks try to kid, flipped dick, you did the opposite
You stayed the same, cause cock backwards is still cock you pricks
I love it when I tell em shove it
Cause it wasn’t that long ago when we sat, luster lacked, lustered
Cuz we couldn’t cut mustard, muster up nothing
Brain fuzzy, cause we still buzzin’, woke up from that buzz
Now you wonder why we do it, how we do it without you
Cuz we had buzzards circle around our head
Waiting for us to drop dead, was it?
Or was it, cause them bitches wrote us off
Little hussy ass, cause f-ck it, guess it doesn’t matter now, does it
What difference it make?
What it take to get it through your thick skulls
As if this aint some bullshit
People don’t usually come back this way
From a place that was dark as we were in
Just to get to this CHAMPIONSHIP place
Now let these words be like a switch blade to a haters rib cage
And let it be known from this day forward
I wanna just say thanks cause your hate is what gave us the strength


 Raise your Softball Lighter Bravery !!!!!!!!!! We just gotta do this ourselves

Stay Thirsty My Friend ...

Is it me or does softball legend Dave Bergman

resemble the Dos Equis beer spokesman

One thing for sure this interesting veteran has played a prominent role in Bravery's playoff run.
Stay Thirty my friend. Stay Thirsty

Put this Face on a Clincher Box

Frequently the face of a missing person is placed on a milk box
to try and find/identify them. Well recently I ran into a softball legend whose face should be placed on

a softball carton - Richie Christy (wearing his Westlander shirt)
Richie and I are playing for the Staten Softball Mafia Charter Fabric (AKA Pray for Rain)
on Saturday's morning - never know when are gonna run into someone. Small world.

Let's see if Richie doesn't go missing again.

Jet Goon Nation is Back .. Just Enter The Season

Gonna take a quick/short  break from all the softball out there to let you now that Jet Goon Nation




is back and that the word JETS

no longer stands for Just End The Season, it now means  
Just Enter The Season.

as last Sunday nights win over the Cowboys was truly amazing and a special gift on September 11th. Jet Fans were more goon'd out than ever
 but we showed even goons have heart and loyalty



I would trade my softball soul for a Jet Championship in a second. Want this one bad.

2 Out Madness for LT .. Stem Cell Controvery?

LawyerTime "LT"
  started the championship in amazing fashion as they strung together 6 straight two out hits in the bottom of the 1st against the Master Batters. It was like a movie - truly surreal. That offensive explosion was non stop throughout the rest of the contest as they rode the tidal wave of momentum to a 10-0 victory. Oh yeah, they did it against a good pitcher and team. Insane.

Worth noting,  late in the game, infielder turned outfielder Eric "Cabezza" Espinal uncorked a very powerful throw that truly shocked everyone and the softball paparazzi asked him about how he developed his throwing prowess

  but Eric's answer's were inconclusive. Hmmmm .. worth watching
