The softball team is an interesting group of guys. Most of the team works with Cole at Goldman Sachs and they will email each other at work with messages about choosing the team name (which they said could not have any reference to BYU, when the diamond was so close to the U) the weekly bating line up, and the usual team comradery messages like “Let’s mercy rule them tonight!” Even though the diamond is so close to University of Utah, Scott isn’t the only team member with BYU ties. I feel like the team works really well together, despite having revile sports affiliations, and ignoring the fact that they haven’t won a game yet or been close.
I think Scott really loves the chance to play softball again, especially in a competitive team atmosphere. He gets ready Monday morning with his “baseball bag” packed with cleats, glove, and of course, sunflower seeds. The sunflower seeds say it all… Scott is taking these games very seriously. (Don't worry, his hair has been cut since this picture. I know you were gagging, Martie.)
I’m enjoying trying to learn how to trash talk at a baseball game, which I find is slightly more difficult than basketball. Plus I feel like the old girls fastball chants are not as powerful as I remember. Maybe my time is better spent cooing Crew!
Thank you to everyone who voted for my boss on Advance America's site. As it turns out, the site made me re-post the story because it was accidentally double posted due to an error on their part. Advance America removed both posts, but gave me a copy of the story to repost it this morning. So if you voted, can you please go back to the site and vote again?

New link and everything. Thank you!
Thanks for your comments on my blog, Katie. And I laughed outloud .... no sugar, etc. Well, that's how I figured it while on the cruise. One lady we were in line with while going thru customs said that she didn't eat for a week before the cruise (just drank a diet shake in the morning and one at night) and is doing the same after the cruise. They say the average cruiseship passenger gains 1 lb per day. YIKES! (Good thing we were on only a 5 day cruise!)
ReplyDeleteOh Scotty. Has anyone ever suggested he may harbor an intense obsession with sports? :-D How fun for you to visit with Maura every week. Is their team called "scared hitless"- cause that is pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteOh, does this bring back memories!! What a good sport you are Katie. I always found that wearing his # on my face (painted) and a replica of his jersey to games, always helped! (That should bring back some great memories for Scott:)LOL...
