Last night my Monday softball team is in a 3 game series for the championship.We're the 3 seed and the week before we beat the 4 and then the 2 seed.The 6th seed beat the 5 and then the 1 to face us.So we get there and this broad thats ump tells the other team to take the field for the start of game one.We're the higher seed so we're confused.This isnt our first championship series so we know how it should work.We tell her we should be the home team game one and three but she says we are wrong but doesnt offer many details on why except that "the playoffs are different".Our manager calls the guy who runs the league but he's unavailable so we're forced to start the game.I lead off so as the pitchers warming up I tell the ump I still don't understand why we arent the home team.She tells me the playoffs are like a tournament -like thats a good explanation.I say ok well how about the NCAA tournament.If the 16 seed beats a 1 seed they arent the home team no matter what the next game.I could tell the light went on when I said that but she totally bullshitted me on how this is different.I let it go because I needed to focus on getting the double I ended up with.2nd inning the league owner shows up and tells the ump she's fucking clueless and no playoffs on earth operate like she thought this did.We got to be the home team the last team game.
It didnt matter as we won the first and lost the last two due to the fact that after our 4 hitter we have a bunch of faggots who fold under the pressure of slow pitch softball championship games.
*Does not relate to any of this at all.
