I would like to start this blog of with some new
I 'd like to think I am a pretty decent person, and actually have been complimented on my leadership skills. I have coached various sports teams with great success. I played baseball at a high level until I got pregnant the first time. So the drama I have experienced this season as coach to a house league bantam baseball team has really got under my skin, and believe it or not, its not the players or parents.
I have never in my life threatened a MAN to punch his teeth out, however the pettiness of the opposing coach (YES THAT SAME COACH I FOUGHT WITH BEFORE) brought out the deep seeded anger and frustration.
Can you say
??????
Lets do some simple verbal rule book math
Team 2 (coach-ME)
Total Players for last night game: 8
Total Players needed to field a team: 9
Team 2: -1 player
Composition of Team 2
1 pitcher/catcher & 1 catcher
Dumb ass rules that impede our success: Pitchers can only pitch 3 innings, catchers can only catch 3 innings.
Inning 4 comes: Non experienced pitcher offers to pitch. Pitcher for first 3 innings is now catching.
Team 3 ( Coach- JERKFACE ASSHOLE)
Total Players: 14
Total Players needed to field a team: 9
Team 3: +5 players
Composition of Team 3:
3-4 pitchers/3-4 catchers.
The INCIDENT.
4th inning, my pitcher is catching because I have no other CHOICE and assface who is winning by the way, comes storming on the field towards me attempting to get up in my slowly growing agitated grill.
"HE CAN'T CATCH!! HE CANT CATCH!!!"
Me: Excuse me?
AH: HE CANT CATCH CAUSE HE HASN"T PLAYED THE FIELD YET!!!!!!!
Me: I'm sorry, did the umpire ask you to address this issue with me?
AH: ITS IN THE RULE BOOK!!!
Me: Please do not spit in my face, lets go ask the umpire.
Umpire: yes it is in the rule book, however given the situation regarding shortage of players, I will allow it so we can play on.
Me: Evil laugh on the inside.
AH: BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH to umpire and would not quit.
So finally I told my catcher to come out and was forced to put my son, who is disabled, in to catch as no one else would.
I lose it, blow my stack and kick some shit around injuring my ACL because I really had no other adults to help me stand up to this jack ass.
So they win, and as I walked by him I said " Please ensure you are not near me in the parking lot because I will PUNCH YOUR FUCKING TEETH OUT for spitting in my face and acting like a tool in front of my boys"
He didn't come near me, which kind of saddened me for a moment or two.
I file a formal complaint to the president of the league.
I copy everyone of importance for the entire town of Pickering.
I wait for the outcome.
