what were you batting off a fucking tee?

[xbrokendownx]

why was the game not called?

mercy rule anyone?

[Broken Parachute]

wtf? My team's mercy rule was 15 runs. How were you down 20 runs?

One time with bases loaded, we were down by 3 and I was up. I was 12 years old playing on the 14 year old team because my dad was friends with the coach, so I obviously didn't play much. But here was my chance. I hit a linedrive over the 3B bag and into the outfield, passed the left fielder. One run scored..two runs scored..the kid on first was a fat shit and he tripped going around third base. Relay throw from the outfield came and the kid got tagged out trying to get back to third base and we lost by 1. I could have tied it up if he didn't fall.

HAHA oh man thats rough...therse always one fat shit on any given baseball team. i bet that kid was the catcher...


my shining moment was in soccer, since i only played baseball for like 2 years. it was the inter city championship or something like that, and we were down 1. there was less than a minute left in the game (i know this cuz the ref screamed it out a few seconds before). i was playing one of the striker positions. my other striker got the ball on a great upfield pass, on the wing. i streaked toward the center of the box and he crossed it and i hit it in the air, perfectly away from the goalie and into the net to tie the game. my teammates mobbed me, it was an awesome feeling. regulation ended and we played 2 scoreless OTs, so we went to a shootout. first shooters for both teams missed, and i was up second for my team and i scored, and so did the other kid. it was 1-1, and my friend scored to make it 2-1 us, and then our goalie saved the next one and we won the whole damned thing!

Hahaha He was a catcher too, but that day he was playing First base. I started at Catcher that game. I was a nasty catcher in little league, then when I got older I moved to third base and I enjoyed it alot more. Catching SUCKED in the heat, Third base was better.

Wow that's a great soccer story. I have a soccer story of sorts too. It wasn't very special..but I made a good play. My goalie went out one on one with this kid and he got faked so bad. I was playing Defensemen at the time and I ran to go backup the goalie. So the kid fakes out the goalie and takes a kick at the net and he kind of muffs at it..it rolls towards the net, and just as it's about to go in I slid feet first and kicked it away. Then I got up ran over to it and cleared it down field. It was such a great play because the net was wide open, I felt so good after that. Of course after that I went back to playing shitty defense haha

did the other coach take out his starters in lieu of players that are blind? what the fuck?

HAHA oh man thats rough...therse always one fat shit on any given baseball team. i bet that kid was the catcher...
hey, i was the fat shit on my given baseball team.
But then i realized i sucked and quit. and played hockey where i could actually use my fatness.

I was never fat until recently. I got fat around 7th and 8th grade. When I was little I was kind of lean and normal.

[GRIFFARD]

it was 4th grade, but no it actually happened. it was pretty sweet

hahahaha, dude thats terrible but at the same time fucking funny

[bigmike]

Pretty sure most every league a 4th grader plays in has a mercy rule. and that it's less than 20. ours is 10 run lead after the 4th inning.

[xearlynovemberx]

hahha i got one. once i hit a catcher with my bat right in his helmet hahhahah that was all cuz i never played again much after that

[Broken Parachute]

hahha i got one. once i hit a catcher with my bat right in his helmet hahhahah that was all cuz i never played again much after that

BOOM! HEAD SHOT!! hahaha

[xearlynovemberx]

BOOM! HEAD SHOT!! hahaha

hahhaha

[thejetstolehome]

my team was up 1-0 in the last inning. man on second w/two outs and i was in left. single to left center and i gunned the guy at home. best feeling ever. i love throwing guys out more than getting hits.

oh yea and making the game winning basket in a playoff game with like 2.3 seconds left. i got the ball off the inbound and ran/dribbled as fast as i could up court and made it. the court went nuts and even though it was a rec league, it felt really good.

[CantBeStopped]

one time i showed up late for a game. the other team didnt have enough players, thus losing before we played. however the coaches thought we should play anyway, if my team let them borrow a player. well my punishment for being late was to join that team. i pitched a 2 hitter against my own team and hit a home run, leading the other team over my actual team. i showed them.

that happened to our team once. we ended up playing anyway and it was a lot of fun playing against your own team

you just can't be stopped.

back when i played soccer when i was nine i made three saves in like a ten second span. the first kid shot and it hit my chest and i fell back. the second kid rebounded and i threw my leg up in the air and knocked it back. then the first kid took the rebound and shot and from my knees i dove and caught the ball.

freaking intense.

i fenced in high school so i have nerdy stories about that but no one will understand what i mean. haha.

[CantBeStopped]

haha. not that nite. i miss little league, back when i couldnt be stopped.

why was the game not called?

mercy rule anyone?

A mercy rule is fucking gay. There should never be a mercy rule when you get past about 10 years old.

If you suck, you suck.

[ben pequeno]

one time in peewee football i threw sand in a kids eyes and scored a touchdown.

[bigmike]

there should be. because if i was a parent and my kid was getting crushed, i'd much rather have a mercy rule so i could get home quicker and not watch my kid suck a lot.

[selftitled85]

i didn't know you could move that fast.
well the leg one was complete luck. you know you just throw your leg up to try desperately...and i somehow got the ball with my shin or something and then when i got to my knee i just dove and caught the ball.

plus i was much more nimble when i was younger.

and didn't drink.
exactly

Good point, but i always thought that sort of thing was stupid, even when i was a little kid. I think that it's more embarrassing to get the mercy rule called than to get crushed and finish out the game. You can always come back, as evidenced by the first post in this thread.












































even though i don't believe the guy... lol.

[ben pequeno]

i'd feel so embarrassed as a parent if my child got his ass kicked in sports.

haha, right. i think he was playing a bunch of blind kids that filled in for the other teams starters or something.

football - jr. peewee's. We were winning by 4 and it was down to the final play and the ball was on our 10. I blitzed up the middle and sacked the quarterback. the win put us into the championship. It was sweet and the whole crowd went nuts.

basketball - JV and the gym was actually packed because there was huge rivalry varsity game after us. We were down by 3 and I hit a 3 to tie it with 10 seconds left. We lost by a kid hitting a buzzer beater.

baseball - Babe Ruth League, I guess I was 12. That whole summer was nuts. I threw a perfect game in the states and I hit a homerun that they said was farther than anyone had ever saw at that field.
In High School I was perfect through 4 and then fell apart and lost 4-3 in 8 =(. Fucking Lakewood.

Soccer - I just remember our traveling team owning for awhile. I played goalie and I had a shut out streak going, but that didn't have much to do with me. I get maybe two shots on me a game. We had awesome defense and midfielders.

College tennis-

Split the first two sets against a guy from Johns Hopkins. Instead of a third set we were suppposed to play a ten point tiebreaker. The guy was up 9-4. I fought off 5 match points in a row, won seven points in a row to win the third 11-9 and to take the match. the best part was that most of his teammates were done and they were all crowded around the court making noise. When it was over they were completely silent.

senior year basketball, it was senior night. i played maybe 15 to 20 mpg in high school. i usually came in around the second quarter. our team colors were purple and white. i wanted to go all out last game and do something crazy. i raided the locker room closets for about 2 hours the night before the game and found an old team jersey from the 70s. SUPER short shorts, ultra tight jersey. i stole them and went and bought some purple canvas cons. the night of the game i put the jersey and the shorts on under my warmups. with knee high white and purple tube socks. i had on my jordans though so i didnt look suspicious and kept the chucks under my chair. second quarter when coach is wrapped up in the game i put the chucks on, then i hear "Cattivera!". i rip off the warmups and he looks at me, shakes his head, the bench and crowd are laughing/cheering and theres a few of the older people who are cringing because my nuts are bulging and on the verge of dropping out the bottom of my shorts. coach let me play and i went on to have my best game of high school with 15 points in 17 minutes, 5 for 6 from three, it was a great night.

oh and i got dunked on by darius miles my junior year. that was kinda cool haha.

hahah we had one black kid at my school and he was an all state high jumper. well JR Smith (hornets) didn't care and they went up together and JR Smith actually tipped it over him and dunked it with the other hand and then shot a 3 from the hash.
