When we prepare our Thanksgiving dinners there are many things that can remind us of softball and the things that we are thankful for. The big Turkey that goes in the oven should make us thankful for the biggest turkey of them all, Surfishin. As we prepare the stuffing it will fondly bring to mind that New B just like the stuffing, has his nose up a lot of butts to get his insightful information. We will turn the Macy's parade on TV and seeing the balloons with all of their Hot Air, we will certainly reminisce about all of the postings of TRT. Gee we love that guy. As we turn on the oven and operate the mixer and other kitchen equipment we should be thankful that John Meil is available to us all to offer all of his fine handyman services as well as expert pitching lessons. Just think of the task of making rolls by hand and kneading the dough, and you will be thankful that we have old reliable Heavy, who is our own Pillsbury Doughboy. Making our vegetables will cause us to bow our heads and show gratitude to a number of people. Cooking the peas we will be grateful for the tough posts by our two local peas in a pod, Mrman and Racsan. Are they the same guy? Making the corn, while such a simple task, will make us think of DHF, because what DHF is full of, sometimes contains whole kernels of corn. I love carrots, who doesn't? Seeing them cook will remind us of how they make us see better. This will allow us to be able to spot JVMom before she sees us, and help us avoid a completely useless conversation. As I watch the cooking going on I see that mom does all of the cooking and dad is just a gopher for the day, and it brings a smile to my face. It reminds me of the 5 Star Athletics "Softball Sunday" camp where all the women are running the show and nice little Coach 501 is carrying the water. He is the man of the hour. Then after the eating it's time for dessert and I can't help be thankful enough for that cute little dish Quick Feet. Boy is she a sweety pie. After the day is over, there is still joy to be had. What would Thanksgiving be without leftovers? I get that warm feeling because who is any more associated with leftovers than Coach Watten? Her recruiting lands more leftovers than any Thanksgiving meal yet prepared. As we all know, after Thanksgiving, we get ready to spend our money foolishly on Black Friday. Now, who else can we think of but those kind folks at USSSA who always take our money no matter how much we resist? As you can see, Thanksgiving is a day where we are able to ponder about things that are near and dear to us as well as enjoy fine eating and friends. Have a Happy Thanksgiving this year.

The Double Rainbow is a term that is slang for intense joy almost to the point of ecstasy. It would be the kind of joy that would be felt if Maryland were to play in Oklahoma City for the national title. Oh, wait a minute, that wouldn't be intense joy, that would be fantasy.

I'm guessing that the GW is a Republican ... Why else would he need to have his own thread instead of sharing !!!

Mr. NewB, the GW doesn't like to mix politics with softball, but I was out gift buying over the weekend, trying to stimulate the economy. The GW is trying to create jobs and might do better than the politicians in DC. I think that the President should have gone down to Pasadena and interviewed the head of USSSA and see how he is generating cash flow and maybe model government strategy after theirs. He could also have visited our local pitching instructors and the University of Maryland softball camp personnel (or call Coach 501) and ask how they can pull money into the economy from middle class America. That is definitely trickle down economics at work. So to answer your question completely, I did not have time to meet with the President as I generally am busy serving a higher power.

Hello all, HBO will soon be airing the second annual Softball Christmas Extravaganza. The 2011 version features the “Not Ready for Oklahoma City Players” recreating and acting in several scenes from the Holiday Season. The first presentation is a remake of the How the Grinch Stole Softball. Playing the Grinch is none other than Coach Laura Watten, one of our favorite thespians. In this rendition the Grinch comes into College Park and steals everything that is dear to softball fans in Maryland. Pitchers are chased out of town, local recruits are ignored and assistant coaches are banned from the facilities. Helping the Grinch is the little dog Max, who is played by the friend of the female coaching world, Coach 501. Max does anything and everything to help in the goings on at College Park and is scared to death of the Grinch. As the Grinch destroys everything in her way, along comes sweet little Cindy Lou Who, who is played by our own Drop Ball. Cindy Lou asks why are you doing this and why didn’t Maryland want me on their team? At this point the Grinch cracks her first smile ever and promises not to totally ruin softball at Maryland. Our next vignette is a modern day Nativity Scene that takes place in the hotbed of softball, Pasadena, Maryland. Our lead character, Mary, is played by the pure and holy Smartwater, who is married to Joseph, who is our own TRT, the only guy we could think of whose wife could be pregnant and he would be unaware. As they travel to Bethlehem they try to get a room at the Inn, but Racsan, who is the mean innkeeper, will not secure them a room. They must stay in a barn where they are kept company by various animals including some local stray dogs and an Ass, played by El Presidente. What a great casting job there. The baby Jesus will be represented by a doll purchased at the Ritchie Highway Walmart. The shepherds do come and visit. Since they are minor characters and have no real value in the story, they will be played by DHF, who is the least important man in softball, and several homeless men from up North in Brooklyn. Finding Wise Men in Pasadena is an impossible task so the jobs went to NewB who knows everything about everybody , Surfishin, who knows how to get around Catonsville and Heavy, who is an expert on bent arm pitching. They find their way to the manger by following the lights from planes landing at BWI. Our final skit is that of Rudolph the Hard Nosed Coach. That role is played by the biggest misfit of them all, PFI. During the show he is laughed at and ridiculed because he is different than the other coaches. No one wants to let poor ole PFI join in any Bachman games. The part of Clarice, the doe, is played by Optic Y. It will bring tears to your eyes when she sings “There’s always tomorrow for dreams to come true”. As our duo travels around they meet Yukon Cornelius, the prospector who is searching for silver and gold. This role was perfect for Bill Dowell, who seems to have found his gold mine around here. On the island of misfit toys, the Jerk in the Box is played by JVMom. She can pop out with nothing to say with the best of them. The Abominable Snowman is one of the more frightening characters in our Special and the role had to be played by the biggest, nastiest and ugliest actor aroundr, ex umpire, MrMan. The story unfolds whereby Santa, played by Joe French, asks Rudolph to help lead his team through a snowstorm and into the NCAA tournament. Softball is thus saved at UMBC. As the curtain closes our cast and crew assemble at the concession stand at Bachman enjoying the burnt hamburger offerings and $2 bottles of water. While in the night time air the chorus of inmates at the Correctional Facility can be heard singing “There’s no place like home for the Holidays”. And as they all gaze at the bright stars above, they realize that it is a time to be thankful for all that we have and that another softball season is just around the corner. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All.

Thank goodness. I wondered why I wasn't feeling the Christmas spirit. Was it that the government doesn't want any of my congressmen to say Merry Christmas or Happy Hannukah on their cards to constituents? Was it because the Capitol tree only has ornaments praising Obama instead of mentioning the reason for the season? Was it because it's so warm? Was it because stores are over run by greedy shoppers? NO! It's because Ghost Writer had not given me my Holiday gift of cheer...his holiday presentation.
Thank goodness he finally overcame his writer's block... now I can get into the spirit and celebrate.
P.S. After the USSSA wanting me to be in their softball "who's who" book as a player AND Ghost writer casting me as Mary, I am feeling quite young!
