The Trial and Tribulations of One Matt

He came up with that title I did not. I did however think it was funny at the time so it stays.

My kickball game last night…First off I didn't want to go because I didn't feel like playing in the rain and mud, but it wasn't raining when I left work so I thought I'd go (I told my captain I "may" not be able to make it and he tells me "let me know when you know for sure". Fucker didn't put me on the roster and made a big deal about me being there! I was like DUDE I said I "may" and you told me to "let you know" I didn't say I was "for sure” not coming! And he puts this one girl on the roster EVERY WEEK even though she works late and usually makes it the LAST inning, but whatever he's a douche).

So it starts raining as soon as we hit the field and it's only getting worse and worse! I run up to my car to put my phone in there (and my buddy’s who I'd given a ride to) so they don't get wet and by the time I make it back down to the field the other team (whom we've played before, they're good and their douches) had scored 6 runs on us! In all of 2 minutes! We WERE up by 1. I'm seeing a lot of plays being called by the ref that are in the other teams favor and NONE in ours. I mean it was kind of obvious and I'm being vocal about it as is the rest of my team. Typically I'd call my team a bunch of douches for doing this but they were justified last night.

We get our at bat and we get a runner on first, then another runner on first to put the first runner on second. HE WAS SAFE, but the ref called him out (at second) and my teammate was like NO I WAS SAFE and the whole other team was like yeah he's out (liars!). It turns into a bit of a vocal match and the ref approaches my teammate and says "your out blah blah blah" and my teammate is like "no" and he just stands on the base. Eventually he picks up the base and throws it and tells the ref F U and calls the other team a bunch of liars. The ref tells him that he's ejected (like whatever ref) and my teammate has to leave.  This is the same teammate whom I’d given a ride to so I had to leave as well. Which was fine by me because I was soaking wet and cold.

It’s one thing to play in the cold ass rain when you have a fighting chance, but last night WAS NOT fun. I mean that ref was being a major douche and the other team was running all over us.
