It's official! The Hot Stove League is in full swing! Jen has registered the first complaint regarding the lack of press that both she and Mark received in the game summary given that they were the ONLY two players to go 3 for 3. My response is that there is a BIG difference between an A-Rod like 3 for 3....3 solo home runs in a 12-3 loss after the team was already down 12 runs.....and say a Bobby Abreu 3 for 3....2 Singles to drive in tying or go ahead runs with the walk off game winning grand slam in the bottom of the 11th. But, softball, just like baseball, is ruled by statistics. In fact you would think that Abner Doubleday was a direct descendant to the famous statistician R. A. Fisher even though Fisher was born three years prior to Doubleday's death! (I only deal in broad concepts here, not minor details!)
I'm certain that Jen and Mark's agent (Michelle "don't call me Michael" Boras) will use these stats to extract an exhorbitant sum of money in signing bonuses and incentive clauses from their new club over the winter!

Oh, come on! Everyone knows Jen should have been called out on her first "hit." She was clearly beaten to the first base bag by the rocket arm third baseman (what's his name?) on the "Good Guys" team. It's just that dear old Nick, the first base ump, was too busy making sure he didn't get beaned by the hurl from third in case Jeremy missed the catch (which he didn't!), so he wasn't even watching Jen. When the play was over, she batted her eyelashes, claimed she was safe, and Nick just agreed. Let the record show that she was really just 2 for 3.
Amen truth teler, amen. I'll call you as a rebuttal witness during the arbitration hearing!
Let me guess, "Truth Teller" is Chris P and he's just JEALOUS that he didn't bat 3 for 3! I was safe safe safe! Good call Nick.
BTW I have no idea why my daughter's email and picture comes up!
I think the contract negotiations with Jen are going to be like stealing candy from her beautiful daughter....NOT that I would EVER do that!
