So tonight was a big night in Ottawa. Our Co-ed slo pitch league began their play offs.
I play on a team FULL of egotistical men.
Here’s a little play by play for you to envision.
- I get a base hit.
- I’m on first base.
- Big strong amazing a-hole gets up to bat.
- Hits it down the right field line.
- It gets by the fielder.
- I run home.
- A-hole runs home.
- A-hole is thrown out at the plate.
A-hole’s comment “I could have run faster, but I couldn’t pass her”
I am livid by this and promptly tell A-hole to fuck off and to play smarter baseball. I’m not a sprinter by any means, but I’m certainly not THAT slow.
Coincidentally, we lost that game by that very same run. This did not impress me in the slightest.
I was pretty fired up the rest of the game. Yes, I’m bad and hold a grudge.
We had 2.5 hours to kill between games (6:00pm and 9:45pm. Seriously, who made this schedule? Its Tuesday!) and rather then go sit with my team and listen to all the men make excuses for why we lost… I decided to hit the gym. It think fate intervened. When I got to the gym at 7h30, I noticed there was a 45 min Combat class starting at 8pm SCORE! I did 30 mins of upper body and the Combat class. Punching and kicking air does wonders for a temper!
Since the gym was in Loblaws… I grabbed sushi and salad for supper as opposed to wings and beer. Go me.
Of course I return to ball, only to be harassed by my team for going to the gym instead of drinking beer. Then, I’m asked by another female player on the team:
“Oh, so you must have just started going to the gym… do you feel like you’re toning up?”
Fuck you princess. I’m chubby, yes, but I’m in shape. And I’m a good ball player to boot.
God… what a night. Off to cool down for me.
To to the A-holes on my team who ruined my night by bruising my former-chubby-self-ego: FUCK YOU.

WTF is wrong with people....tabern, i cant believe you restrained yourself from punching one of them in the face. lol. ok maybe not, but wow they truly are assholes.
People say things to make themselves feel better for being losers. Try not to take it to heart!
Good for you for making good use of your break!!
What a bunch of friggin losers! IDIOTS! FUCK THEM IS RIGHT!
I loff you.
I've been a lurker for a while but your team-mates ticked me off enough to leave a comment! Losers! Go you!!!
People are rude idiots.
Coming from another female who plays b-ball with boys...put simply...THEY SUCK!!!
He's lucky he didn't end up with a bat shoved where the sun doesn't shine!
AND...You, my dear, freaking rock my world...2 balls games AND you went to the gym AND you passed up on beer & wings. You got more balls than the guys on your team.
We have our year end ball tourney coming up on Labour Day Weekend...lord give me strength!
That stinks. Some people just don't know any better. I'm pretty sure that girl wasn't trying to hurt your feelings...she just probably didn't know. :( Still hurts your feelings though, I know. Which sucks. I played a co-ed softball league with my co-workers a few years back and some dude from my dugout yelled "unhook your trailer and run" to me. (I guess he was saying I have a big butt and I run slow - which I do on both accounts, but it still hurt my feelings to have it shouted out across the ballfield.) You still are a great ball player, so I would just let your skilllz do the talkin'! :)
Holy Hell, people are asshats. Good job, Amy. I lurve you.
You Rock! You didn't let the bastards get you down and you showed them up...they are just jealous that they couldn't play all that ball and still make it to the gym! Fuck em is right!
how you made it through the night without beating the two of them to death with your bat is beyond me!!
meanwhile - fuck them - you went and worked out and ate well - you rock!!
UGHHHH!!!!
People are SOOOOO stupid!!
I hear ya about being mad and holding a grudge - I'm the same way.
Good for you for heading to the gym and blowing off some much needed steam!
I agree with one of the posters above - the dude should be lucky you didn't shove the bat where the sun don't shine!
WTF is WRONG with people!
And *I* think you are absolutely BEAUTTTTTTTTTIFUL!!!!
Those people are total jerks. I am sorry that they tried to ruin your night. Just know that your readers think you are fantastic.
WTF??? Lord, some people are just stupid! Props to you for being such a class act!
Wow. That is a rant and a half! Good for you though - you've got the right attitude, there's no reason to just accept any of that BS from both the men and the idiotic female...
You give it to them, Amy! You go girl!!!
I think Amber said it perfectly!!!
A-hole #1 was looking for someone to blame other than himself for missing the run...if he was really THAT much faster than you he would have been right on your heels and you both would have been out.
The chick a-hole is probably feeling bad that someone who is a)smarter b) more beautiful and c) FAR more bad-ass than herself did something PRODUCTIVE (and COMPLETELY AWESOME) with her break instead of stuffing her face with crap and sitting on her ass.
Easier said than done, forget what they said and listen to us, we are so much smarter than they are anyway!!
(and again, I am in AWE that you went to the gym in between games!!!)
I cannot believe people!
I totally agree with Jen. If he had been running so fast you either would have both been safe or both been out.
I can't believe the hatred other women spew at each other. Grrrr. That was such a catty comment to make.
I'm sure that Combat class felt awesome.
People can be so f'in ridiculous!! At least you showed them!!!
YEAH!!!!!!
Seriously WTF???????
Do you know how much you rock for going to the gym between games??? I'm in awe of your awesome committement to fitness.
FUCK EM is right.
Can I ask why you play with this sad bunch of losers?
PS. SOOOOO excited for you visit!!! We're gonna have an absolute blast!
You should invite them to run a marathon with you and watch their jaws drop!
It makes no difference whether you run fast or slow, running the bases behind someone with a different speed that you - that's just part of ball playing. He knew better - that's just bad ball playing on his part. Period. If he'd had his head in the game rather than trying to force a homerun and being SELFISH maybe you guys could've won. Surely someone could've driven him in from third base. He's a dumbass, plain and simple and anyone on your team worth their salt as a ballplayer can see that.
That is really, really, infuriating. I think you're awesome on all counts - for telling a-hole where to go, for working out, and for hopefully putting princess in her place.
Nicely done!
idiots
you had me on the floor with "sorry princess". oh well, no matter what there's always gonna be skinny chick princesses around and a-holes! Kudos for your restraint though, I would have skipped the gym and floored someone right there and then! One thing though, I always work out harder and better whenever I get pissed off!
My god. Who are these people and why are you on their team? There has to be a friendly team out there somewhere...
That's just...wrong. People are so clueless sometimes. I especially "love" that chick's comment about how you must be new at the gym. Why? Who has a "perfect" body anyways? Does she? Please. Don't let it get to you; you know where you've come from and what you can accomplish. You definitely rock!
I am FUMING right now!!!!!!!! I spent so much time on our email thread yesterday I didn't even get a chance to check blogs!
That bruised MY ego so I can only imagine. That a-hole thinks that he could have lapped you when you were already on first base??? What a friggin' IDIOT.
And that stupid princess is brainless. Who says that to ANYONE? Making ASSUMPTIONS like are BRAINLESS!
Stupid people. stupid stupid people.
You are a wise and such a major role model for SOOOOOOOO many people. Don't let stupid people ruin that.
And p.s. you're far from chubby girlfriend, your HAWT!!!!!
Sounds like a class A jerk! Why didn't he just stay at third insted of trying to be a homerun hero?
You are probably the fittest person I know. I don't see 'chub' on you AT ALL!
Those people are F**kers....Especially the baseball asshole.
you are the only real person in food blogging. everyone else is like woohoo 40 lb bag of spinach = best moment of my life. seriously stfu. you rock. you need to stomp on dumb skinny bitch.
