Here is a transcript of part of our exclusive interview from last night (portions of the interview were edited out due to this being a family blog and those portions containing inappropriate material for children):
Softball Guy (SG): Thanks for doing this, I know a lot of people are interested in your take on the season. How has it been going from your point of view?
Game Ball (GB): No problem Softball Guy, I'm happy to share my story, to be honest though, it's been a long season, I'm pretty worn out.
SG: How many games have you participated in?
GB: Well, I was scheduled for roughly 420 games to date, but when they handed me that schedule I said "forget it man, I'm hiring out". So I brought in a couple buddies and my brother, we've pretty much split the workload all season.
SG: Well, and I'll say this, from what I hear you all have been some of the better balls the league has seen in past seasons. Obviously you're handling the big games, like last nights match up between Moderately Sober and Natty Boh All Stars?
GB: Yeah, I mean, I'll farm out the lower end games to my friends, but I like to make sure a professional game ball handles the spotlight games. I tell you what though Scared hitless has a game against Moderately Sober coming up that I'm sposed to handle. I hate taking their games.
SG: Why is that?
GB: They've scored 306 runs man, every time I have to cover one of their games I wind up in bed for a week after. I'm pretty sore right now, but that's because Mod Sober knocked me around pretty good.
SG: How was the game tonight in your mind?
GB: Not bad, like I said, I got knocked around a lot, but it was nice that Mod Sober had that shortstop, softest hands I've seen all season, that was a nice relief every time I went his way.
SG: Understandable, let's talk about the season going forward. How do you envision the rest of the season playing out?
GB: Well, I'm not much of an expert when it comes to teams ability, I just show up and do my job. I tell you what though, I'm seriously considering farming out all the rest of my scheduled games with the Big Lebowskis, Texas Republic and Fat Drunk and Awesome. That's a beating I don't want to take, I've got a cousin I don't like much, he's a Blue Dot, sort of a runt, and he's been asking me for work, I'll give him those games.
SG: Well, I do appreciate you taking the time to talk with me, getting an exclusive with you was high on my priority list.
GB: No problem Softball Guy, I'm sure you can imagine I don't get a lot of press, I guess if there's one point I want to get across out there it's to be nice to your Game Ball, we've got feelings to. Oh, and it's not true that the "Ball never lies", hell my friend who handles the Congressional League games, he's a Red Dot, he lies all the time, none of us trust him.
SG: Fair enough, thanks again Game Ball, good luck with the rest of the season.
this is boring.
