our company's softball league

[KnightofNi]

this is the first line from the e-mail about the playoffs for out intra company softball league.
yes, playing softball calls your sexuality into question, blah blah blah...but i look at it this way, it's a beer drinking team with a softball problem.

1st Seed
RP have the lead in the division by one game over LAB, and they play eachother in the last game of the season.  If LAB were to win, they'd be tied in the division and tied in head-to-head record.  The next tie-breaker would be record against ahigher ranked opponents.  There is no one higher then them.  So the next tie-breaker is run differential.  RP, +111 ... LAB, +41.  So barring a 70 run blowout by LAB, the nod goes to the RP for tops in their division and tops in the league.

i involuntarily laughed out loud when i saw the run diff.

I could do 70 runs all by myself..... no problemo

the problem is, they can only get 11 per inning and after 5 innings the 10-run rule would come into effect.

Gotta get a 70 run lead by the 5th inning...  YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!  I think Jose Canseco is still looking for a job.  Hiring him to be in your company.  I think Mark Mcquire and Sammy Sosa are looking for work, too.

I thnk you should lose in the most epically failtastic way you can come up with. Let them score 99% of the runs, then forfeit, so they can't claim they beat you 50-0 or some such.


Let the pitcher hit every batter.



Find a midget, and let them bat for your team.




Ya'll should be drunk to the point of passing out.

Let the pitcher hit every batter. - wont' make a diff. it's slow pitch, if youg et hit by the pitch you deserve it



Find a midget, and let them bat for your team. we have one girl who's 4'1" does that count?




Ya'll should be drunk to the point of passing out. we have debated doing this. however, with the fields being on company property we could be fired. there are 5 things you can do to be fired on the spot, drinking alcohol is one of them.

also, we want to win against that team. we had a double header against them earlier and the second game was called as we were up 14-1 in the 3rd inning because it started drizzling.
