The once-teeming Daddies dugout was empty the entire game last night, as the Daddies started short-handed (and miraculously avoided a forfeit) by playing seven players, even after delaying the start of the game until 7 p.m. We even gave up our last-ups rights as the home team to try to hold out for more fielders.

SKIPPER-LESS DADDIES RALLY AND LIVE TO WRITE ABOUT IT
EDITOR’S NOTE: Sorry for the hiatus in posts. Many of the missing games — but not all — involved losses. Perhaps one day we will return to taunt Smell the Glove, but not yet.

It’s odd how different batting and fielding are. I mean, think of another sport that requires such vastly different skills, besides that one where you cross country ski with a rifle on your back then shoot stuff. That’s a weird one. But really? Batting? Then fielding? I wish I could do both. Actually, I’d take [...]

Alphabet Soup blah blah
What did one Deadhead say to the other Deadhead when they ran out of drugs?
“Man, this music SUCKS!”
Let us never again play without softball energy drink. Lesson learned.
We lost to the entire federal government. The all-stars of 16 agencies – one of whom BTW asked me if we were [...]

Daddies Edge Equalizers – Beer > Juice Boxes
Belligerent Bats, Breaking Balls Batter Barney Boosters
Some call it a one-sided blowout, I call it therapy. (Haven’t yet asked my therapist what she calls it).
We eked out a victory over a sixth grade summer camp league rival, pelting battering them with a barrage of bad pitches hits up and down [...]
