lucky me
Today was the last regular season softball game. Don't ask whether or not I planned to follow a sensible course wrt the ankle issues. The point is this: the other team forfeited. Game canceled, we win.
Next week are the All-Star games. OG was nominated for and will be playing in one of the men's games. He mentioned today that he nominated me for one of the women's games (which I was not selected for). This mention sparked the whole 'but i suck' 'but you don't' conversation.
It goes the other way too, since he doesn't seem to think he merited being nominated for the men's team. We have opposite skill-sets. He's a good fielder, so I admire that about his game*. If only we could be merged into one great all-around player. (Not to say he's bad at batting, but he has no love for that portion of his game.)
(*: Of course he's also crazy, because he thinks I'm not a bad fielder. Even Super was like "Did they put you in right field? Yeah, that's where they tend to put the bad fielders." And then OG was like, "I think you really shined at 2nd base." And then I was like, "Like for example on that day when I totally spaced out and then, when the pitcher got set to throw to me, he had to pause and say 'Put your foot on the base.' and then I didn't even catch the ball anyway?" "That could've happened to anyone."
Yeah... I doubt it.)
I keep hearing the word "playoffs" bandied about. But (1) I don't know the schedule and (2) with just two wins under our collective belt, I'm not sure that's something our team will need to plan for.
