So there was no game to speak of yesterday, which was a bummer. But it was fun to be able to play and practice with a bunch of people without the pressure of losing. after all, in a game sometimes nothing much happens in the outfield (but a few fumbles and stumbles) and you only get to bat once or 2ice. it's tough to get better that way.
everyone seemed pretty disheartened that the game was off so no one seemed in the mood do to anything social. so everyone left and joe day and i hung out at the truck and had a drink, put some tunes on, and got eaten alive by mosquitos. it was about 9:45 i think and i was going to see if i could get a few drinks offsale at a bar in town and joe followed me there. we went in for a drink and there was no offsale so we decided to stay a bit longer. woody and what's her name were there having drinks but they left shortly after our arrival. with just the two of us i suggested we play some pool, but as we were about to we were approached by this short stocky girl and her old friend wanting to play doubles. so we agreed.
we played the first game and lost so joe came up with this strategy that we would act like psychos out of the institution on a 72 hour pass. so we were acting obnoxious and making noises, hitting our cue against the bar and talking out loud about how we have to win cause our pass is almost up. that won us the second game but we still lost the third and had to buy a drink (we were playing 2outa3 for a drink) the next four or five games we played each for a drink and i think we only won one-barely. joes game was pretty off, i was as bad as usual. we played untill they couldn't drink anymore, which ruined my suggestion (plan B: get them hammered till they can't play well). Joes response to that was like "so we keep losing to them and buying them drinks until they lose"? but that was only working on us. after they couldn't drink anymore the girl left and the guy wanted to play for money. bad idea. joe played for 10 then 20 and lost so as a joke i played for 5 cos i knew i'd lose. but i broke and missed then the guy ran the table on me but sunk the cue with the 8, i win. so we were done with that and i won't mention me beating joe for 5 bucks either, ok-joe.
so it was like 12-12:30 and joe wants to eat, but i need to get up at 4:30. so i tried to decline, but he said he'd spot me the food so i couldn't turn him down. it was a pretty fun time but i'm not at all a fan of that getting home at 1:30ish am.
