Life is more than just fun and games at the shop. Sometimes things get serious and you have to step up.
Thursday nights give Josh and me our chance to do what is really important.


SLOW PITCH SOFTBALL. Thats right, the national past time of 7 year old girls and drunk, out of shape men.

Here's Josh prepping for the game. Talk about a game face...

Here's me. On the front line of the battle, showing off my curveball...

Time to attack....

And finally, preparing the next generation for war when his time comes...

Rest assured that when things get serious the Busse Combat Team is always ready, willing and semi-able to take the battle to the enemy.


I NEED A DRINK.

Nice socks. You look a lot like Christmas. Maybe you should be grinding my present.;):D
 
The socks are like a flash bang. It's a diversionary tactic to confuse the enemy. Plus the red socks hide the blood if you are wounded sliding into home.

I need to find a pic of Josh's socks. Bright yellow. Some people have no fashion sense at all.

Just as ancient warriors painted their faces in color and wore bright plumage upon their helmets... our own brave Garth continues the fine tradition by donning bright red socks to intimidate and distract the enemy... Well done Garth! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
See what I mean. No style at all.

Although he did hit better than I did so maybe there is something to the yellow socks.

The last time I played softball, I did three or four innings at shortstop and always had a beer in my hand. I would field the ball, drop the glove and ball, and throw it in without dropping my coors light.

I think we got either too bored or to drunk to keep playing beyond that point.

I would have kept the ball and thrown the coors light.:barf:

We play at a high end park. The coors light comes out of a drinking fountain in the dugout. With the shape that I keep myself in I have to stay hydrated or I will simply pass out and die.

Of course after running around the field all night I may just die anyway. I am starting to think I should take more of an observer role in the future.

Garth - glad to see the Boss let's you out of the shop once a week. Looks like a great time.

They call the observer's "COACH"... you could do that.

It's a good thing they have Coors Light in the water fountains there... You can stay hydrated and never have to worry about getting too drunk to drive home... :thumbup:
 
After Baseball, I played short in a local league and a traveling team for many years.

Are you playing ASA? And what division?

So, is Delta like the Big City out there in the Great Black Swamp? :D

Yeh, I think the population climbed over 2,000 last year. That's pretty good size around these parts. You just missed the annual Delta Chicken Festival last week. You probably saw it on CNN or Fox News, it's that big of a deal. GOOD TIMES.;)

This is a unsanctioned community league. They use the ASA rule book as a guideline and then modify a few things. Just play this league for fun and practice.
I am on another team that plays UTRIP. We have a couple state qualifier tournaments coming up in a few weeks, so this is more just to stay tuned for those.
