The softball season ended on Tuesday, with a loss to History (a.k.a., the Revolting Masses). The playoffs were double elimination and we lost the first game since we didn’t have our full compliment of players. With the team back at full strength Monday, we shutout the Commissioner’s team, 7-0. That setup a doubleheader Tuesday. We edged out a win in the first game by a few runs, but three games in two days proved too much for us. (The Masses, who started in the winner’s bracket only had to play one game Tuesday.) I was certainly one of several people on our team who ran out of steam: I posted my first sub-.500 batting performance in the game against the Masses. Oh well, there’s always next year: B’shana Haba’ah!
With respect to people who get paid to play sports, DC United lost another 1-0 game on the road, this time in Superliga action. But, thanks to some luck, they still move through to the semi-finals. They take on the LA Galaxy in a couple weeks. That game won’t be at RFK, but here are some one’s that will be:

• Sunday, September 9, 3pm vs New England. I’ll be using my last 7 flex plan tickets for this game. Email to go out shortly, as there are only a few spots left!
• October 27/28. DC United’s home playoff game will most likely be this weekend. Last year we got a group of 17 together — let’s see if we can top that!
• MLS CUP 2007: Sunday, November 18th, noon. I can get reduced priced $25 tickets to the championship, and will most likely be getting 4 (more if demand requires).

Let me know if you want to attend any of those games :)
Update: For you Princeton folk, the annual Eastern Women’s Baseball Tournament is September 3rd in Philly. I went last year and it’s a great time; plus, it’s free!
