I'm not interested, I'm just confused.

Well now *I'm* curious.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 2 February 2004 08:37 (twenty years ago) link

is yer glove autographed?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 2 February 2004 08:38 (twenty years ago) link

nuh uh, but it is 'game ready'.

At LAST I have a reason to yell "I'M JUST OILING MY BASEBALL GLOVE"* when someone asks me what's taking me so long in the bathroom!

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 2 February 2004 08:39 (twenty years ago) link

(*I know I'm not supposed to really use oil.)

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 2 February 2004 08:40 (twenty years ago) link

(on the glove, anyway)

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 2 February 2004 08:40 (twenty years ago) link

one month passes...

if we get another person or two, we can play Running Bases.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 06:17 (twenty years ago) link

is that really what it's called¿

― dyson (dyson), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 06:21 (twenty years ago) link

well it's what I always called it. It being 'two bases, one catcher at each base, runners trying to get from one to the other without being tagged'. I'd always move the base further away when I was catching and nobody was looking. A couple of my friends got beaned in the back of the head, then we switched to ragballs. I had a deadly aim with some heat behind it too (I used to pitch)

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 06:26 (twenty years ago) link

i used to play that too, but we had a different name for it. can't seem toremember.

― dyson (dyson), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 06:30 (twenty years ago) link

I have a nice glove that hasn't seen action in years.
Everyone should play drunken kickball at least once in their life.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 06:32 (twenty years ago) link

Yes, you should use oil. Boiled linseed oil to be exact.
It's called pickle.
I just got back from a bike trip to sunny St George, Utah and spent a few evenings in the batting cage, myself. Baseball rules.

― Speedy (Speedy Gonzalas), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 06:36 (twenty years ago) link

It's damn near impossible to play a game of baseball when you only have like 5 friends.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 06:37 (twenty years ago) link

Masturbation....ha ha ha.

― christhamrin (christhamrin), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 06:40 (twenty years ago) link

I was wondering if Speeds Man had revived this one, too...

― Prude (Prude), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 07:05 (twenty years ago) link

My favorite mitt growing up was a Mike Flanagan short pitchers model handed down from my brother. I never found another glove that felt comfortable on my hand - I blame this for the derailment of my baseball career.

I have the same glove I've had since I was five, its a Mike Schmidt Rawlings glove and I love it. I also have three other ones.

"Running Bases" is the gayest thing I've ever heard in my life.

― ModJ (ModJ), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 12:39 (twenty years ago) link

Its other name is "cricket"

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 13:17 (twenty years ago) link

WHich means it is the gayest thing ever.

I am still in mourning over my lost Rawlings glove (Dale Murphy model). RG-something or other. Sniff.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 13:22 (twenty years ago) link

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the compulsory anal sex part of Running Bases.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:12 (twenty years ago) link

"pickle" is without a doubt a much better term for this.

― dyson (dyson), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:14 (twenty years ago) link

STILL nobody will play catch with me. I demand satisfaction!

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:31 (twenty years ago) link

Yes silly of me to call something in which you run between bases "Running Bases". Obviously it should be named after a foodstuff.

Luna why did you buy a glove if you don't have anyone to play catch with you? Don't you have a son?

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:36 (twenty years ago) link

If you could throw a ball thousands of miles, i'd play catch with you.

― Chris 'The Velvet Bingo' V (Chris V), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:37 (twenty years ago) link

Because I wanted one, duh.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:37 (twenty years ago) link

I'm good, but I don't think I'm that good, Chris. Thank you, however.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:37 (twenty years ago) link

My best friend will do it, he's just away on a band touring thingy whatsit, so I'm just waiting impatiently.

Also, yes I do have a son, but 6 year olds get tired of playing catch when they can't catch so well, and get frustrated and throw their gloves at the dog, then stomp off into the house instead.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:38 (twenty years ago) link

Knowing you, I should've guessed that. Did it have a pretty, shiny exterior as well?

Quit throwing him that wicked spitball and maybe he could catch it.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:39 (twenty years ago) link

is your glove all broken in?

― Chris 'The Velvet Bingo' V (Chris V), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:40 (twenty years ago) link

You suck, oops.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:41 (twenty years ago) link

It's getting broken in, but slowly.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:41 (twenty years ago) link

by "this" i meant "anal sex" portion.

― dyson (dyson), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:41 (twenty years ago) link

you can't seperate the anal sex from the running bases. one does not exist without the other.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:44 (twenty years ago) link

Note to self: If anyone suggests playing 'running bases', get out the strap on.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:44 (twenty years ago) link

Further note: Buy strap on.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:45 (twenty years ago) link

You must've missed Eisbar's comment about girls catching, not pitching.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:46 (twenty years ago) link

I really wish a strap-on was part of the standard baseball uniform.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:49 (twenty years ago) link

Well for most guys a strap-on would be a bit superfluous.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:51 (twenty years ago) link

I really wish a strap-on was part of the standard baseball uniform.

So does the entirety of the New York Yankees.

― Chris 'The Velvet Bingo' V (Chris V), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 17:59 (twenty years ago) link

Well for most guys a strap-on would be a bit superfluous.

'most'

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 18:00 (twenty years ago) link

but I guess that's no reason why strap-ons shouldn't be part of uniforms. also: assless chaps

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 18:01 (twenty years ago) link

Well for most guys a strap-on would be a bit superfluous.

'most'

again, see: yankees

The Baseball Furies to thread.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 18:04 (twenty years ago) link

Chaps ARE assless - they're also crotchless, too.

I can think of very few baseball players I'd like to see dressed that way.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 18:07 (twenty years ago) link

"baseball glove" - okay, okay...
