May 26, 2010 Kickball Game: 2
So, last night was our second kickball game. Despite the fact that I have a sinus infection I still managed to kick some ass! The other teams pitcher was incredible. He was able to pitch it extremely fast while making it bounce slightly. It was intense.
Anyway, the first time around I hit a few fouls trying to discern the best kicking method to combat the crazy man’s (whom I dubbed “Hans”) pitch. Finally, my foot connected with the ball and I was able to hit a double. I was slightly annoyed at myself for then getting tagged out as I made my way to third.
My next (and final) up at bat he pitched a super fast ball which I let go past. Strike one. The second pitch I absolutely refused to let go by, or to kick a foul. I saw a gap in their outfield and struck this perfectly fast non-bouncing pitch out into the outfield to score a home run. I ran my ass off and it was great. I was voted team “MVP”, which honestly made me slightly uncomfortable. I’ve always excelled at sports, but I kind of forgot about my athletic prowess, since putting it on the back burner a few years ago.
I was proud that my team and I played a really great game and are able to have fun despite the competitive nature of the other teams. I think with a few moves in the line up, and developing some new strategies, we will have the potential to win the next one. Despite the fact that we are in the casual league, I find myself getting rather competitive as of late. I can’t help it, since it’s in my nature.
Next game I plan on bringing my game face x10.
ps. I joined a summer soccer league in which I am SOOO excited to start playing! I hope I get a chance to play right wing, although playing sweeper again might be fun too. I’ve even begun looking at some new cleats. Either way, I’ll be outside rekindling my love affair with the sport. Something thats long overdue.
