SOFTBALL RUMORS & GOSSIP

BLOOD ON THE DIAMOND

Softball player fouls ball off her face

Usually I tune into some Womens College Softball to see some hotties in tight baseball pants, but what you’ll see in this video will make you softer then a wet noodle. Check it out, a girl squares up to bunt, pulls it back and swings away. But unluckily for this chick, she fouls the ball off her face. Damn girl. Click here to view the embedded video.

Another USA Slow-Pitch Softball Game on ESPN?

We’re not sure how or why it happened, but for the second year in a row, a United States (Adult Male Slow-Pitch) Softball Team game was televised on ESPN. As was the case last summer, the game was slipped into the ESPN rotation on a lazy Saturday afternoon. And, per the usual, the United States team played Canada in a game entitled “The Border Battle”. Apparently...

Faster than Fast!

Hey Yard!Well I just got done with training camp for this summers National Team. We have a lot of new faces--a new head coach in Jay Miller, new players that will be exciting to watch.

EA Sports Presents Adult Mens Softball 09

The funny fucks over at Joe Sports Fan bring you the greatest EA Sports video game parody since the last great EA Sports video game parody. I'll do what I can to keep the hyperbole to a minimum, but it's chillingly disturbing how accurate their portrayal of big, fat, delusional softball players is. This is [...]

One Place

Hi Everyone, Okay, well I been meaning to blog for the last couple days, but honestly I'm still just barely trying to digest things, and finish my laundry.

Softball Player Pulls Aaron Rowand

Except she doesn't break her nose and fails to make the catch. Matter of fact, it seems she was nowhere even close to making a play on the ball. National Fast Pitch's "Shanel Scott tries to make the catch. Just obliterates the wall." Meanwhile, the announcer describes Team USA slugger Crystal Bustos (who hit the bomb) as though she was Ryan Howard: "What is...
