The Will of the People

The Will of the People has been fulfilled!!!

The batters box on 128th and 3rd avenue has been fixed!!!!!!!!!!!

The moronic plank is gone

The following letter (likely final) was sent to the Park's Department

"The attached pictures show that the batters box on 128th and 3rd avenue has been fixed. Great job for your immediate attention to this very serious matter.

Thank you

I would be remiss to not mention that the pitcher's mound has not been fixed and/or replaced (see attached). This is also an unsafe surface that needs attention. Please advise as to what the plans are to upgrade its quality.

I again would like to again thank and commend all of you for correcting home plate. You guys came thru in the clutch.

Best Regards"

Insider Analysis

Fuck the Man.  The likely the threat of a future lawsuit waiting to happen made this happen. Someone should have been fired for that gross negligence and blatant incompetence. 

On a good note, the insiders little bird are saying the young man injured last week got off easy with a sprain.

Thank you softball gods,

The Wheels of Progress Are Turning

As a follow up to the instant classic posting :"Gross Negligence"

The parks department has responded as follows:

Parks & Recreation Manager #1 "I have copied the appropriate managers and Supervisors responsible."

Parks & Recreation Manager #2 (D10 & D11): "They have started working on that field over the weekend but will follow up."

 Insider response :

 

"Thank you so much.

Your professional attention to this serious matter is deeply appreciated.

 

I see xxxxxxxxx reponse is  very positive and encouraging. 

I will pass by the field tonight and take a look.

When is a realistic timetable for me to follow up or get a progress report? 

Again thank you so much this really means a lot. Great job."

As sad reminder this is what the field look like as of Saturday 1:30pm

and as a result this is what happened

No Justice No Peace

Gross Negligence

The following letter was sent to the Park's Department today:

"The attached pictures show the unsafe Field quality of the 128th field and 3rd avenue field at home plate and the pitcher's mound."

A wood blank covered by old turf is a terrible and unsafe method to repair a field. The Mound is also damaged, worn, and uneven.

On Saturday a poor kid was hurt sliding into home plate.

This is very sad and unfortunate.

This needs to be repaired immediately as New Yorker's this represent gross negligence to safe and healthy recreation.

Please forward to the appropriate person or provide me with their contact information.

if you have any further question please let me know."

This is gross negligence and needs to be addressed. 

Utterly irresponsible and ridiculous.

"It's More than Just a Game"

Seven Signs of the Softball Apocalypse .. Mercy oh Powerful Ones,,,Mercy Mercy

Some believe in the

SEVEN SIGNS OF THE APOCALYPSE

"The Seven Signs are clear: We will be struck by deadly plagues, famines and earthquakes; The sky will turn dark and oceans will turn to blood; And the antichrist will emerge to fight the final battle between good and evil. "

I believe that the Softball Gods Exist


and recently their Seven Signs behavior has been foretelling of a Softball Apocalypse

The SB Gods are angry and softball, as we know it, is ending:

The Seven Signs of the Softball Apocalypse are:

7. Weather " The sky will turn dark and oceans will turn to blood;"

It's freaking freezing Austin Powers!!! How the fuck can you explain that the weather in January and February is better than April?

Easy.

You can't.

Why?

The Softball Gods - They are unhappy with the way we act. Punishment

6/5. Greed & Chicken Heads

"Chickenhead" is a derogatory lang term that can refer either to a "dumb female" 

• Players want money.
• Players want a free ride ... AKA Scholarship
• Players want Perks

Basically, players are greedy chicken heads.

• Managers want Players.
• Managers want other teams players.
• Managers wan to win at all $$$ costs $$$

Basically, managers are greedy chicken heads

• Commissioners want more teams and money.

Basically, Commissioners are greedy chicken heads. Except Jeff Marcus.

The Softball Gods don't like greed. Greed ruins everything.

Fuck Greed : Remember "Pigs gets fed. Hogs get slaughtered"

4. Injuries right before the season - WTF?

So many people getting hurt - Me included










Last year my toe. This year Eye!!! damn

Why Softball Gods?

Why have you forsaken me?

Mercy Mercy Mercy

Guess "Stealing players" didn't settle well with them and the enacted revenge.

P.S. I stole no one. So Stop....

3. Whining

Too Many whiners in softball.

Man up and shut up.

That means stop complaining, play ball,  and start helping.

Softball Gods hate whiners.

2.  Mass Emails and Group texting

OMG - everyone in softball just loves to text everyone in a group or "Reply to All" in a an email.

Over and Over and Over

Softball Blood will flow on the diamond over this,It's Like Locust swarming everywhere in a plague.

Softball Gods Hate this.

They Despise this.

They will punish you somehow someway for this.

Stop. Please.Stop.

A simple In or Out reply to only the manager is sufficient.

The SB gods are torturing me with this.


1. Dwindling League Membership - No New Blood = Famines 

Softball is dying. The Old School of players who live and die with softball are getting well...older.
Young guys have problems keeping a team together and many of  them grew up on video games, Michael Jordan, and doing something else. Throw in greed and league membership is down everywhere as people are chasing small money


"And the antichrist will emerge to fight the final battle between good and evil. "...

I guess that's me... if my eye ever heals.

Maybe
