What is a Nadir? A softball team that can not win a championship game.

I woke up Sunday morning at about seven thirty to a call where someone said he has been pouring water on smoke, but the smoke wont go out. I laughed and then headed to the station. No one else was planning on going, so I wrote down standby time and left. I drove home to sleep some more.

I got home and Amber came to my bed and we went to sleep together. I was sleeping good, until about eleven am when I heard a call for an ambulance to Steptoe for an unknown medical emergency. We got there and a lady had fallen. We got her on a backboard and took her into the hospital. I took some vitals.

After the hospital I was watching some football at the fire station with Carl. Then I got lunch and headed home. I was there for a while when I got a call from Ron. Inviting me to go to Zeppoz to hang out and watch football. Everyone loved my socks. I was wearing them for the softball playoffs that evening.

I drank a tiny bit. We chatted as well. At about four thirty I headed to the playfields. I got there and started to warm up. We played the team that we had played the very first game. We beat them again. It started out bad and they took a quick six to zero lead. Then Meredith started a rally and when scored six runs as well. From there we owned that game. So we were in the finals against the team that had beaten us once before and was undefeated on the year. In one inning we came alive. I was in for Ron. The bases were loaded with one out. I hit a hard hit ball to right center field and it got past the fielder. I was on second base and the bases were cleared. The next batter hit me home. We had a nice three run lead. They score two runs on an inside the park homerun. Then we had a one run lead. We went out there and did not score a run in the top half of our inning. They went out and got a triple from the get go. Then we got an out. Following that, they hit an inside the park homerun to win the whole thing. We came in second place.

We headed to Zeppoz as a team and drank some more beer, had dinner, and had a good time chatting about softball and other things. I invited Russell to come up. Jason heard me on the phone and said, Scotty is making a booty call! I laughed. Russell did come up. I was talking with Dave about his birthday coming up.

After the Seahawks game everyone started to funnel out. We said our goodbyes and then Russell, Ryan and I went to Ryan's apartment. We watched the recordings we made of FOX. I thought it was the season premier of the Simpson's but I was wrong. We did watch Futurama. I headed home after that. I had a dip and played with Amber. Then I was off to bed.
