Reminds me of a few weeks ago at work...

"Are you guys ready to pay?"
"Why? You wanna pay for us? We're fucking patrons here. Don't rush us."

Keep in mind that this is a routine question and there is nothing rude about it. It is also an hour after we closed and they knew they were being dicks. I don't know how that relates to anything. Good story, huh?

Heather might shoot a documentary for you guys if Steve plays his cards right.

Well, there goes that chance.


Ooooo. Card-playin' facial on Steve.

I still laugh my ass off every time I read these words/this made up band name. I was going to post this in the other thread, but:

I work with a woman whose last name is Curry. Through our work mail, she had asked me to set up an LCD projector for her. The subject was, "Favor". But the way it was listed in my mailbox, it read "Curry: Favor".

Fucking beautiful.

Ok, now back to these bases-balls.

I'll start us back:

Based on an email that coach AlBStern sent today, 6-4-3 is officially a Winnemac Electron! Congratulations, and salut! to 6-4-3!!!

Little did I know the set of circumstances that would unravel after I thought up that dumb band name. Thanks for the story. It made me smile.

Congrats to 6-4-3! I continue my 10 years and running journey to mastering my unique knuckleball grip.



If I never make the electrons at least I can lead the Irving Park Whiffle Ball league in walks per nine innings.

Does this pitch work? Seems like it would spin too much to knuckle.

btw, 6-4-3 made the team in spite of the fact that he showed up for tryouts wearing jeans. Our standards have never been lower.

Salut 6-4-3.

Tryouts for the 2007 Winnemac Electronswill be held the weekend of March 24-25. We will probably have about 4 or 5 open roster spots.

Details to follow.

Let me know if you are interested.

Bumped. Tryouts both Saturday and Sunday from 10:00am-12:00pm at Winnemac Park (Damen and Foster).

Rain or shine (but probably just rain).

I hope somebody's there with a video camera, cause I'm gonna be all decked out, wearin a dress with somethin to prove.[/eye of the tiger]

Dag, it's gonna be a swamp! I'll be sure and wear my rubbers.

are there hard throwing pitchers? that could be a little scary.

Not if you're playing against the Aviators.

However, very large strong men in this league who pride themselves on baseball prowess have been known to strike out on a particular 35 mph specialty pitch...

I would like to thank the Chicago Electrons of Winnemac Park for the opportunity to take part in the tryouts over the weekend and for allowing me to feel like a real ballplayer. The fact that the ballplayer I feel like today is Lou Gehrig is beside the point.
