This statement is proof Woo has never been married. Nothing wrong with that but my that naivete shines through.
woof. this update is mostly bitchy, fyi.
So we had the double header. First half of the first game we were down 3-2. Not terrible but not playing fantastically. Let me point out that meow friend and her husband aren't playing cause they're lame. Meow husband is a PE coach with a fantastic arm and catching ability. I have realized tonight that we are going to sorely miss that.
Anyway. We have a new guy. IDK who brought him in. But one of the rules is don't pick up two balls at a time. We tell this to the two new girls as well. Simple, right? First game, he gets called on that. I was sitting on the sideline, saw it, and yelled like 3 times before they whistled him. Ok, well, we're all new once, he'll learn.
We switch sides at half and proceed to not win in the 2nd half. I did get someone out but I wasn't great tonight by any means. New guy gets called out again for two balls. Ok, this will be fixed for the next game for sure. He'll remember now. New guy is also a bit.......reckless on the court. And not very accurate. Like, running around crazily and I think trying to be the hero or something.
We had some close games where we were 2-1 on people but then we'd make a terrible throw (one time it was me) and now it's 1-2. Lost several games that way. We lost the first game, IDK, something to 2. Ouch.
Break time. So we're chatting in the hallway and I made a comment about people visiting work and asking if I knew someone who hadn't worked at the company in like, 20 years. I laughed being like, how old do I look?! Husband of couple friend is like "CG, you don't look a day over 40." We laugh. New guy jumps in with "yeah, you look pretty old with those bags under your eyes, you look tired"
now, I get that he was probably trying to jump in with a humorous comment but I was a little take aback. Ok, new guy not making a great impression.
Next game. Oh joy, this team has a boombox. That must like, be the insignia of a douchey team. Couple of bros on the team, for sure. We start off 1-1, hey this is good! Oh look, 2balls gets called out again! Next game he's like running around so crazy that he runs into the sidelines, slams into me, slams me into the concrete wall along with wife of couple friend. Then a ball hits her in the head and another hits 2balls and gets him out. Now I'm getting pissed, like, control yourself enough! There is no reason in this game that you should go crashing uncontrollably into the people on the sidelines. Balls hitting people there? Sure.
We switch sides again, not doing well. At this point, up several games, the other team gets douchy. One of our guys was annoyed at himself for getting out and like, arrrrrghhhhh'ed at himself in frustration. He'd done in most of the game. I usually drop an f-bomb when I get out. For some reason, douchey team thought he was questioning the ref's call. Starts yelling over about how if you're out, you're out, don't question the ref. If you get hit you're out and that's how you play (said sarcastically). As far as I saw, the refs never thought he was angry with them. Ok asshat, our guy was not directing anything at the ref. Then because we were annoyed at that, they started making little comments at us. I was getting pissed and because they still had that damn boombox going on our side of the court, I told our sideline to turn it down. Because I do petty things like that. In my defense, we did have one person get counted out who never heard the ref start counting him. So we can also pretend I did it to help our team hear better.
At some point I had a ball in my hand, looking to throw and I realize the other team is yelling at me and the ref is whistling. One of the bros is yelling that I'm out and I look at the ref and point to myself. I was shocked. It's possible I completely missed getting brushed by the ball, but I don't even recall anything even being thrown toward me. I go to the sideline and ask the two girls if they saw anything and they did not. I'm like, still annoyed at that because I swear to God I didn't see or feel anything. And now douchey team is acting like I was trying to cheat, going on about it.
Whatever, douche team, I got your radio turned down!
So we lose, badly in the 2nd game as well. 2balls got called out 5-6 times for picking up two balls. I'm not even exaggerating, it was bad. The last time I think everyone on our team angrily yelled "Jesus Christ!" at him. We are all so annoyed! The combined two ball count on the two new girls? 0. He also swiped a ball from me when I was clearly beating the opposing girl to the line right at the end too. He swiped mine before even getting his own. I'd be ok if he didn't come back.
Oh yeah, very last game it was one of our girls against 5 of their team. They're like laughing cause you know, this is going to be so easy. She started ******* picking them off. It was great. She got it down to one person who then caught the ball. But she was great to watch. Silver lining of the night for sure.
But yeah, back in the car DH and I are like this could be a long season, especially if OOC 2balls sticks around.

Woo is much closer to the target than the others here
It was a little bit late for the time I need to get up.
Well I just read my first book in probably 5 years. Yay me?
Wait, which part is naive? The first part? Because that website all about how women are inferior to men, they should always do what their husbands want, and rape should be decriminalized. Based on what I know about CG, if DH tried using that website, it'd be death by fish knife
CG got it right the rain check part. Nice job of trying to paint me with the broad brush though Woo. I remembered that website from the last time there was a thread abut it I just LOL'd when Erik linked it.
Best part of this whole thing is CG naming new team mate 2Balls. I hope for her sake that he doesn't come back, but it's going to make some funny reads if he does.
Oh another key fact is that new guy was wearing tight short like bik8ng shorts. this is not ok.
And I didn't even come up with it! the others started calling him that after the 3rd time and saying we'll have to try duct tape if you keep going
CG looks like she's forty and their dodgeball team sucks two balls.
Sorry, I wasn't trying to paint you with a broad briush, I just didn't know what part you were talking about
If 2balls in uncommon there, I wonder what normal is? I truly don't want an answer, just thinking out loud.
I hope he does come back. It will be interesting to hear the weekly updates
I think 6:30 games for isu football aren't good (especially when you think it starts at 7). Good part, didn't have to fight for parking or at the gate. Our row was deserted so I think it was a common theme.
