I guess at 39, it's the right "age" for these types of things, but... I joined a denial league at work, that's going to play for the next month or so. Thing is, I have no equipment. Anyone have a glove I could borrow? I seriously doubt we're going to assign permanent positions to everyone, so it wouldn't matter to me if it's an F3 or F8 glove (pretty sure I won't be catching... my knees can't handle that).

I'm working out around 290@Hollister, live in the Heights, games are on South Main. First game is tonight at 6:30 (yeah, I JUST realized the eq shortcomings this morning), so anywhere in those areas is cool.

Thanks

Matt Holiday has one he doesn't use much.

What's an "F3" or "F8" glove?

The tiny little rectangular ones that fit over the function keys.

I'm not particular about the type of glove, whether it's a big ol basket for 1B/OF or a smaller SS glove.

BudGirl · « **Reply #5 on:** October 13, 2009, 10:06:48 am »

Why not just buy one? They really aren't that expensive.

I guess I'm just not hip enough to get the joke. Sorry for asking.

I would if I could, but I seriously do not have the money for that (husband laid off == me paying ALL the bills now).

HH: what joke? Seriously? F3 = first base. F8 = centerfield... the big gloves. Point being, it doesn't matter what type can be loaned out.

I don't know, you tell me...I asked what an "F3" and "F8" glove were, and I got a response about keyboards. Never heard of gloves being described as "F3" or "F8" before. I guess I would have better understood if you'd simply said "it doesn't matter what type of glove, infielder, outfielder, first base...". Sorry for the confusion.

ETA: At any rate, sorry I can't help you out. I have a few catcher's mitts, but that's it at the moment. I'm also in Midland.

*sigh* OK... a translated repost: "it wouldn't matter to me if it's a firstbaseman's or center fielder's glove"

I didn't think it was that obfuscated, so figured you were being a smartass asking what F3 and F8 meant, so I gave a smartass response about function keys (the F3 key, etc.) on a keyboard. Sorry to have replied like that. :/

Thanks. That's lower than I had seen elsewhere, but seriously... we are operating in the red in this household until next month sometime, so anything other than "free" is not affordable.

Maybe you can just drag your washtub out there and catch balls with it.

BudGirl · « **Reply #16 on:** October 13, 2009, 10:27:29 am »

if you have to explain a joke, it isn't funny.

no one on your team has a glove they would be willing to lend you?

and is this baseball or softball? because if it is softball, the catcher does not have to squat. but you probably knew that already.

Holly · « **Reply #17 on:** October 13, 2009, 10:29:34 am »

We have 11 people and 8 gloves, apparently.

Enough with the piling on.

sporadic · « **Reply #18 on:** October 13, 2009, 10:38:47 am »

I have a few gloves I would be happy to let you use, although I am in Montgomery. I may be driving as far as Rayford Sawdust today, but I do not know just yet...

Wow.

a) You can get a glove for less that $20. If you wanna get fancy, you could spend as little as $50. Understanding that you have no money, which is unfortunate, why did you sign up for something you don't have the equipment for? Do you also stand up to pee?

b) Catcher in co-rec softball is where you put the weakest player. And honestly, since the pitcher will be covering home for you, you don't even really *need* a glove. Either way, you're far from needing to specify which kind of glove you need for fucking slow-pitch softball.

c) I'm assuming that you are either expecting that someone is traveling around with a glove for no reason or that someone wants to drive to their house and pick up equipment for an "internet" friend. Since I don't think you're stupid, I'm going to assume that you are (once again) posting random shit that's galloping through your skull because you need attention.

d) It's raining. You won't play tonight.

Holly · « **Reply #22 on:** October 13, 2009, 02:05:36 pm »

Yup, game was canceled because of the rain.

This wasn't random, and it wasn't for attention, just trying to see if someone had a glove they could lend out for awhile. If that's not you, then there really wasn't a reason to respond, especially not with a bulleted retort questioning why someone would sign up for something free when broke. Thanks to the one offer reply, I'll be in touch over the next few days to meet up somewhere.

Try to keep in mind that some folks like to do others favors, Andy. Like, oh, I dunno... lend out a glove, or make server space available for free for big file transfers. That kind of thing.
