ThunderCats Vs. Assurant Allstars 5/13/10
Happy day! The Cats are back in the Zone! We played the Allstars again and won...again. Though we started off slowly we slaughtered them in the end. The final score was 16 to 3 Cats! We are back in the number 4 spot for our league. It took us a couple innings to get warmed up. We were all struggling at the plate and our fielding wasn't as clean as it could've been, but we turned things around. Though we were missing Becky (thanks for subbing Carey) Brandon was back with us and we were so glad to have him!
A lot of great things happened this game. Lacey was our catcher and she made a great play behind the plate by catching a pop up foul in her bare hand! Billy, our pitcher, also made a great play at home by decking a runner in the face just before he touched the plate. The hit wasn't intentional, but the runner was very unhappy about it all the same, especially since he thought he had just hit a homerun. Speaking of homeruns, Ryan had one this game! It didn't quite clear the fence but it hit the fence. It was far enough out there that he was able to make it all the way home.
Once we got used to the Allstars' pitcher, who pitched extremely low, we were able to hit much better and the runs just kept racking up. It was a nice win, especially since we were all still a little upset because of last week's loss. Go Cats!
The Birds of Doom needed some girls to sub for them, so Lacey and I obliged them even though they are next week's competition. They were playing the Sons of Pitches, so we had conflicting feelings about how we wanted the game to go. We wanted to beat the Sons of Pitches since they unjustly won against us last week, but at the same time we didn't want the Birds to win because they beat us once also and we play them next week. They put me at third and Lacey at catcher. The Birds ended up winning 12 to 4. It was fun to play with them, but hopefully we will be able to beat them next week.

ThunderCats Vs. Sons Of Pitches 5/6/10
This was a sad game. As Ryan so aptly put it, "those Sons of Pitches didn't win, we just lost". We could've easily beaten this team, but for some reason we just fell apart. It wasn't any one person's fault. Our loss was a team effort. The final score was 7 to 11 Sons of Pitches". It was not a good night for the cats.

ThunderCats vs. Green Machines 4/29/10
Well, this post will be short and sweet. The Green Machines where so afraid to go up against the wrath of the dreaded Cats that they forfeited the game. So we won 7 to 0. Not exactly the kind of victory we were hoping for, but I guess it will have to do. Until next week folks!

ThunderCats vs. Knuckleheads 4/22/2010
Oh Boy! The ThunderCats won big tonight friends! We beat the Knuckleheads 15 to 0! It was a confidence boosting victory after getting smacked down last week. We tried to be nice about our win because we know all to well what it feels like to be on the other side of a slaughter like this.
We started out in the field one player short. Brandon was a few minutes late, so we had to begin without him meaning there were only 3 players in the outfield (yes, softball is pansified baseball). It ended up being fine though because no balls were hit to the outfield that inning or any inning thereafter. As the matter of fact, I think the only people involved in any given play were Billy (Pitcher), Jonny (SS), Brandon/Ryan (1st), and Jess (2nd) like one time. The Knuckleheads pretty much had 3 up 3 down every time they were up to bat. I don't think they even made it through their entire batting order once.
We, on the other hand, hit the hot crap out of the ball all night. I was first at bat this evening and I nailed the poo stew out of that melon. Granted, I am a girl, so when I say I "nailed the poo stew out of that melon", I mean that I hit a nice hard line drive to shallow center field, but still, I made it to first no problem. Jonny was up after me and he really smacked the squeeze out of that soft serve, and that is how we got our first couple of runs and they didn't stop coming after that. Billy had his first in the park homer of the game this inning. I think we were up by 6 after the first inning.
When we were back in the field Brandon was with us at first base and the 3 amigos (Brandon, Billy, and Jonny) worked their magic. 3 up 3 down, if my memory serves me correctly.
Back at bat we kept running the bases with one good hit after another. Several of us were walked because the pitcher was starting to shake in his cleats for fear of the killer Cats. We tried to hit as often as possible, because only the weak sauce man/woman takes a walk if he/she can avoid it. Billy had another in the park homer at some point. All-star, what? But he is not the only one who shined at the plate, oh no, everyone hit like a super star tonight. Jess had to high-tail it home once and ended her run with a beautiful slide in for the point. Safe by the skin of her knees. That's right folks, we were out for blood, and it flowed like kool-aid.
We were all extremely please with the win. We needed a little pick me up and we got it tonight. Unfortunately we didn't have a camera tonight, so no pics. Most of us met up at Steak n' Shake afterwords to celebrate. Good times were had by all, except my screaming children.
Special thanks to Brandon for coming back into town just to play in this game with us. He is headed back to work in Columbus at the butt crack tomorrow. We feel for you B! Thanks for speeding home for us!
Next week we play the Green Machines. They will be more of a challenge, but I think we are up for it. See you all at the ballpark next week at 6:00! ThunderCats HOOOOO!

ThunderCats vs. Birds of Doom 3/30/10
Well folks, I’ve been reluctant to post this week because we had an unfortunate loss. The worst part of it is that we could’ve won this game. We were even ahead for awhile, but we ended up losing 5 to 9. This is a team that we have played in seasons past and beaten. Luckily we will have a shot at redeeming ourselves in game 9. I am confident that we can beat these Birds.
We kept the same positions that we had the first week. In general, I think we all played well, we just had a few minor blunders that weren’t any one person’s fault that cost us the game. Let’s focus on the highlights. Brindi had a great catch in Left Center. Jess made a great catch at 2nd and facilitated several great plays as usual. Jonny was a superstar at ss, where he made some amazing stops that caused plenty of cuts and scrapes. Ryan made one of the coolest foul ball catches ever where he slid for the ball and has the bloody elbows to prove it. Billy had some great hits. I know there were other awesome moments, but I can’t remember them all. If you are on the team and you want to contribute to these posts then please leave a comment or email me.
The dunce moment of the week was when I was running from first to second so fast that I overran it and then fell down like an idiot in effort to stop myself. The worst part of it was that I could have kept going to third if I had been paying attention. So now I have scabby knees to remind me of my idiocy. Oops.
Next week we play the Stumblin’ Drunks. Don’t let the team name fool you. This has the potential of being a close game, so it should be entertaining. Come out and support us!

ThunderCats vs. Assurant Allstars 3/25/10
We are back folks, and if this game is any indication of what is to come then we are in for a hot season! The Cats were the home team so we played the field first. We kept the self-proclaimed “Allstars” from scoring any runs. We got up to bat and things started out a little rough. They got 2 outs on us almost immediately, but things got better fast as the combination of walks and hits worked in our favor. I can’t remember the exact number, but we got a ton of runs that inning.
When we headed back out to the field we witnessed the coolest thing ever! One of the Allstars made the mistake of hitting a ball right to our true all-star Short Stop, Jonny. There were runners on 1st and 2nd. The ball was hit and the runners started to advance. Jonny caught the ball tagged 2nd before the runner could get back to his bag, and then Jonny made a perfect throw to Justin at 1st who was also able to tag his bag before the runner could get back safely. Yes people, you are reading that right. We are talking a triple play here! It was truly amazing. You should have been there because your eyes may never witness such an awesome site.
Jess was smokin’ at 2nd as usual. She made some great stops. We are so glad to have such a fearless girl on our team! Our outfield did well too (Brandon, Brindi, Billy, and Lacey), thought they didn’t get to see too much action this game. I do remember Brandon making one sweet catch in left field.
Ryan was our pitcher. This was his first time pitching for us and he did great! He even had one strike out, which is not easy to do in slow pitch softball. Ryan also assisted some good plays. Becky was our catcher. Though there weren’t too many opportunities for plays at home because the other team didn’t score too often, Becky did a great job encouraging Ryan to pitch well. I played 3rd. I made one catch, and was able to get the ball all the way back over to 1st when needed, though never in time for the out. At least I kept the runner at bay.
Billy is a phenomenal hitter. He is a switch hitter who can knock the crap out the ball when batting from the left, and can consistently hit all that passes him from his right. Pretty sweet huh? In fact, all of our guys are hitting well this season, hence our win 13 to 5 this week! I can’t wait for next week when we play the Birds of Doom. See you then!
Here are a few pics of some of our ThunderKittens:

I’m looking forward to a great season with you all! ThunderCats HOOOOO!!!

Thundercats Race!!!!
So tonight we thought we were supposed to have a double header because our last 2 games got rained out. Well we failed to notice they switched our game from what they said would be today to next Tuesday. So our entire team showed up all ready to play and the fields were empty. We decided to have some fun anyway and do some racing.
In order from left to right Jessica, Kristina, Brindi, & Nicole. Nicole won the girls race with Kristina coming in 2nd, Jessica a close 3rd and Brindi right behind in 4th. We all knew that Nicole (pregnant) would win. She is lightning fast.
The next race was AWESOME...
In order from left to right Justin, Ryan, Jonny. This was a close race as you can see up until Justin takes a tumble, so so funny. Let me add that they were racing in their socks! Jonny takes a nice slide across the finish line. We were all laughing so hard. Brindi got so excited that she scared baby Drake!
Even though we didn't get to play the Thundercats still had a little fun.

ThunderCats vs. Green Machines 9/1/09
Victory, our sweet mistress that visits us less often than we would like came back to our wanton arms again last night. We can't complain about the infrequency of her visits because the little time we have with her is shear bliss, and last night Victory was as spectacular as ever.
It stared out cool and slow, but things heated up soon enough. We even threw a little mud in the mix to spice things up. Ok, I'm taking this analogy a little too far. Clearly Justin needs to assist me with the frustration I am experiencing today. Sorry guys.
Alright, lets get down and dirty, I mean lets get busy, I mean lets get crackin', WHIPS, SPANK ME! I'm out of control! Here are the details of the game, not my bedroom. Who knows, it could be a little bit of both.
We were in the grass first, catching balls. No, seriously Justin made some great catches in the first inning in Left field. Chris pitched his balls right into the sweet spot all night long and struck several people out. When we got up...to bat, Esther smacked it hard and got off, I mean on base no problem. That's it I'm done. I'll just give it to you straight.
Scott made great catches in Left, Jonny and Ryan had some great hits. Ryan did a nice leap frog jump over the 3rd baseman's head. Brandon played with us last night too and was a pleasure as usual. Jess was rockin' second and Carey was steaming up 3rd. Brindi made a nice toss in from Right in her new cleats I might add, and Nicole was all over catcher like whipped cream on...well you know. We had a great game and won it in the 6th 11 - 7.
On a more somber note, last night was our beloved Short Stop Jonny's last game. He will be moving to D.C. We will miss you Jonny. Come back and visit often.
Alright ThunderCats, see you in two weeks when we play the Hungry Hippos again! Now go get you some!

Thundercats Vs. Hungry Hippos 8/25/09
Tonight's game was unlike any we have ever played. The Hippos were well matched opponents and we kept it close for 8 innings. The first 3 innings flew by quickly as each team virtually had 3 up and 3 down. Eventually the Hippos scored 2 runs, but we came right back and scored 2 also. They got ahead by 1 and then in the 7th inning we came back to tie at 3-3. We went into overtime and the Hippos were up first. They managed to score 1 run. In the bottom of the 8th we fought hard and almost came back with runners in scoring position on 2nd and 3rd, but our victory was stifled by the Hippos' lightening fast LC fielder who caught everything within 100 feet of him. Final score 3-4 Hippos.
Now, I don't think anyone should feel bad about our loss tonight because we played a great game. Sure we had a few errors, but they were overshadowed by some amazing plays. Justin didn't let anything remotely close to him hit the ground tonight. Brandon, who subbed for Jonny at SS made a ton of amazing plays. Chris was a freakin' champion as pitcher. He pitched all 8 innings and I don't think he let a single person walk. That is just amazing. Ryan hit an amazing triple just barely shy of the fence. Carey made at least 2 great catches at 3rd, and Jess, who is back by the way and we are so happy about it, had some good plays at 2nd. Andy is an awesome coach who is always encouraging and supportive whether on the field or off. We are all backing each other up really well and play well together. I am sad that we only have 3 games left. Hopefully we will end the season with 3 more W's!

Thundercats Vs. Stone Mountain Chrysler/Jeep 8/18/09
We all look so cheerful and hopeful before our game last night, oblivious to the solemn fate that lays ahead.
Well folks, we all knew it couldn't last. Now I will regretfully and mournfully report the events leading up to our utter destruction on the ball field last night. We started out hitting last night. We got one run in the first inning. All of us kind of expected the pitcher of the other team to walk us all like he did last time, but no such luck. A few of us even struck out while waiting for the ever-present balls of games past.
When we were out in the field things didn't go much better for us. I made continuous mistakes at 3rd and I am ready to forfeit my position to someone more worthy. Jonny, on the other hand made some great plays at 3rd, Left Center, Left, 2nd, and Short Stop which was his assigned position. Nothin' but love for ya Jonny. We appreciate your dedication to getting the out. Jonny also took out the catcher of the other team with his cleats. Way to go Jon!
Chris and Carey had a run-in between the pitcher's mound and 2nd when they both went for the same ball. Luckily no one was hurt and Chris made the catch. Justin made a good catch in left field and had a good play at first. Scott and Ryan also got some catches in the outfield. Stephanie made some good stops at 2nd and Chris was pitching as well as ever. He even struck several people out. Unfortunetley, for every good play there were at least two bad plays to counteract any progress we might have made in this game (at least 4 were my fault).
The final score ended up being 2 - 10. Better luck next time Cats. Here are some pictures for your viewing enjoyment. Thanks Jess for taking these pics, and thanks Patrick and Stephanie for subbing for us last night.
Now a quick word from one of our sponsors:
Ever been playing a game with friends that involved a timer and thought "if only I knew how to cheat my way to victory"? Ever been in the kitchen of your arch nemesis's house and thought "if only I could slow down the timer so his stupid cake would burn!"? Ever challenged your friend to a "who can do the most push-ups in a minute" contest and wanted to speed the timer up for him and slow it down for yourself, but just didn't have a way to do it? Well now you can with "Gag Timer"! A new iPhone app that allows you to speed time up, slow time down, or just time things normally. For more info check out the "Gag Timer" here. Look for "Gag Stopwatch" coming soon!

ThunderCats vs. Green Machines 8/11/09
THREE IN A ROW BABY!!
THUNDERCATS ARE ON A ROLL! Tonight after an hour delay we finally got to play our game. We had some lightning delays in the game before us, so we didn't get to start till 9:30. We played team Green Machine. We won 19-8! I believe we were up 14-3 in the 3rd inning. We had some really great hits tonight. Congrats goes to Justin for 2 great hits, and Esther is still consistent in getting on base. Nicole made a great play from home and we had minimal errors. Everyone did a good job playing together as a team. Chris was awesome at pitcher once again. Thanks to Stephanie Beaty for filling in for Jessica this week. We missed Ryan and Brindi who were only able to play one inning before having to go home to Aden, since we were so late starting. We missed you guys. Here are a few pictures we took before the game. I tried to take some during the game but was told I couldn't use my flash so we ended up with only a few pics. Next week will be better for picture taking.
CAN I GET A THUNDERCATS HO!!!!!

ThunderCats vs. OPC 8/4/09
WE WON AGAIN!!!
We played against OPC again tonight (we will play all of the teams in our league twice this season). We lost to them in our first game of this season, but tonight we still had the Thunder rolling from last week's win. We started in the field and got 3 outs almost immediately. When we were up to bat we scored 4 runs before the inning ended and the runs just kept coming from there. Chris is smokin' hot at pitcher lately. He has been making great plays at almost every game this season and tonight was no exception. All of our guys hit really well tonight which kept us circling the bases. Jessica is a freakin' star at 2nd base, unfortunately tonight was her last game for awhile. We will miss you Jess. You really are amazing and we hope you come back to us soon. Scott hit an in-field homerun which ended our game, because get this, the other team had the mercy rule called on them! That's right, we beat OPC 14 -4 in the 6th! Can you believe it?! We were so excited that we went to Chick-fil-a again this week! We think we will make this a winning tradition. We took a team picture again tonight too. It was taken with a cell phone, so the quality is not so good.
I think the positive differences in our team this season lie in the direction of our awesome Coach. Thanks Andy! Keep shouting at us because it makes all the difference in the world!

We played against OPC again tonight (we will play all of the teams in our league twice this season). We lost to them in our first game of this season, but tonight we still had the Thunder rolling from last week's win. We started in the field and got 3 outs almost immediately. When we were up to bat we scored 4 runs before the inning ended and the runs just kept coming from there. Chris is smokin' hot at pitcher lately. He has been making great plays at almost every game this season and tonight was no exception. All of our guys hit really well tonight which kept us circling the bases. Jessica is a freakin' star at 2nd base, unfortunately tonight was her last game for awhile. We will miss you Jess. You really are amazing and we hope you come back to us soon. Scott hit an in-field homerun which ended our game, because get this, the other team had the mercy rule called on them! That's right, we beat OPC 14 -4 in the 6th! Can you believe it?!

ThunderCats vs. Stone Mtn. Chrysler/Jeep 7/28/09
WE WON!!!
Somehow we ended up on a business league or something so the teams this season have some boring business names. So, we had seen this team play before and they looked like they were really good. They had beaten the teams that we saw them playing against and they have a girl that plays short stop which means they are really good or really stupid and from what we could tell it was the former. We went into this game with high spirits, but I think we all fully expected to lose as usual. Then a miracle took place. We played that game like a new team. We were unified and communicating and we rocked in the field and at bat. It didn't hurt that their pitcher walked almost all of us at least once and they were making stupid errors constantly. Something good happened to us and something terrible happened to them. Though I can't remember the end score exactly, I think it was like 14 - 8. We were so excited that we went and celebrated at Chick-fil-a afterwords where we took this picture.

We lost this game too. Can't remember the details other than it sucked.
ThucerCats vs. OPC 7/14/09
This was our first game of the Summer season and...we lost. I wasn't there but apparently it was a close game. We were missing several of our players, so perhaps our loss was partially due the cats not being out in full force. Anyone who can remember this game is welcome to contribute to this lacking post.
