GR Softball - Roughriders
He heard me say, "thats weak sauce" and he came towards me off the 3rd base plate visibly upset. And I'm thinking, what the hell is he doing and if he wants to get into a brawl, I didn't care because I wasn't having a good hair day anyways.
The giant robot softball team is now 9 and 0 having beaten obstruction last thursday as we aim towards having a perfect season. We're friendly with most of the teams in the league, shaking their hands quietly after the last out and giving them and the game a modem of respect. But there always seems to be one guy on the opposition that's just crazy like a mother fucker and gets easily aggravated over every call the umpire makes or doesn't make during the game. Dude, its just a softball game, none of us are paid to play and cnn doesn't cover us on their telecast. But here comes mr. mad, growling and yelling....GRRRR. He was on 1st base when the batter hit a line drive to the outfield. He rounded 2nd base and decide to streak toward 3rd where I stood on the outside of the plate waiting for the ball to be thrown in. But the ball sailed slightly to my right and when I made an attempt to catch the ball, there was a little bit of incidental contact. Just a little bump, at worst, a little owie that his mom could kiss and make it all better but maybe she had chapped lips. This guy starts yelling and whining at the ref saying I was in his way and that he could have been hurt. I'm 5'4 full of too much rib eye steak. He's 5'9 and looks like he has a 24 hour fitness membership. Who's zooming who? So I said, "thats weak sauce".
Which must have affronted his manhood quite abit as he stopped the game to march towards me with a hot tempered head. But before he got close, michael walks between us going head to head yelling back into his face. Sean at 2nd base starts peeling off his guards - forget the pads, its going to be knuckle to knuckle. Oh man, we have never gotten into a fight before, but the thing is, michael is like super ninja shortstop guy while sean is big ole brick layer man and I'm just the player that wears glasses with the smart mouth. Everyone maintained control and the game resumed for another inning. Than the player got kicked out - note to guy: don't be shouting "pussy" in the stands when the umpire has already given you a warning. So he had to leave the premises but the best part of course was winning the game 14 to 9.
