ok ok ok OKAY. HERE YOU GO. LOTS OF BASEBALL HAS BEEN PLAYED IN THE LAST 5 WEEKS AND THE EARLY ONSET DEMENTIA IS DEFINITELY HITTING THE MISFITS ADMIN BECAUSE I CANT FUCKING REMEMBER ANY OF IT. WHAT I DO REMEMBER IS THAT:
1. THE MISFITS ARE STILL THE UNDISPUTED GREATEST SANDLOT TEAM IN THE WORLD, REGARDLESS OF THEIR RECORD
2. THE DURHAM DIRTBAGS ARE AN EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF DIAMOND DEGENERATES AND THEY WERE GREAT TO PLAY AGAINST.

THE FIRST OF MANY SIBLING RIVALRY GAMES BETWEEN THE MISFITS AND DIRTBAGS WAS A SUCCESS, AND WE HOPE THAT GRIFFIN FINALLY MADE HIS PARENTS PROUD SECURING THE DUB. DYLAN INJURED HIMSELF FINGER POPPING HIS ASSHOLE, YET MANAGED TO MAKE AN INSANELY ATHLETIC ONE HANDED HIT NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE IN THIS GAME (slide 14?)

THE MISFITS FINALLY WERE ABLE TO FACE THEIR SECOND LEAST FAVORITE TEAM, BUT FAVORITE TEAM NAMED AFTER A COUNTRY MUSIC STAR, THE REBA REDS, WHO HAVE BEEN PARTAKING IN SOME RECKLESS WATER COOLER CHATS ABOUT HOW THEY ARE THE BEST - SO WE HAD TO REMIND THEM ABOUT THAT TIME WE WERE UP 10 AND WE LET OFF THE THROTTLE IN THE 7TH JUST SO THEY COULD FEEL SOMETHING.

30 MINUTES OUTSIDE THE CITY, THE ECHOES OF STRAIGHT BELT TO ASS TRAVELED THROUGH THE WOODS TO REMIND THEM THAT THE MISFITS ARE THOSE GUYS, PAL. IN CLASSIC MISFIT FASHION, STUPID FUCKING ERRORS THREATENED THIS, BUT THANKS TO THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE LINEUP - YA BOYS RODE OFF INTO THE SUNSET WITH ANOTHER W.

SEASONS COMING TO A CLOSE, PLAYOFFS ARE AROUND THE CORNER, AND THE MISSYS ARE BACK ON THEIR BULLSHIT. GOD BLESS RUSTY. FUCK THE DOLLYS. PLAY LIKE A MISFIT.

Thought It Would is OUT!!

Turns out finding your person just happens. You can’t force it or rush it. It kind of falls in your lap and all of a sudden you understand what real love is and wonder why you bothered with anything else.

I wrote this with @griffindean and knew I loved it the second we finished the demo. I sat on it so long he lived in 3 different houses by the time we finished recording it. It was a slow journey to put this song out, and I’m so excited to finally share it with you.

HELL YEAH BROTHER THE MISFITS FUCKING LOST. ARENT YOU GUYS HAPPY? ITS NOT LIKE SUNDAY BEER LEAGUE BASEBALL IS THE ONLY THING THAT BRINGS US JOY AND HAPPINESS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. NOT LIKE WE NEED THESE MOMENTS TO FEEL SOME SEMBLANCE OF CONTROL AND PEACE AND VALIDATION IN OUR MONOTONOUS AND UNFULFILLING LIVES.

THE MISFITS FACED OFF AGAINST EVERYONES FAVORITE FEMALE COUNTRY MUSICIAN INSPIRED BASEBALL TEAM, AND CAME OUT SKRONG WITH 9 RUNS IN 2 INNINGS AND BASICALLY JUST GAVE UP AFTER THAT. THE REDS INITIALLY SAID THEY ONLY WANTED TO PLAY 7, BUT THE MISFITS, LIKE TRUE BALLERS SAID “no.” AND INSISTED THEY PLAY 9 - AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENED???? GUESS WHAT FUCKING HAPPENED.

WE BLEW IT HARDER THAN NANCY REAGAN IN A HOLLYWOOD EXECS OFFICE, UNRAVELING AT THE SEAMS LIKE A POLYESTER PAIR OF TROUSERS FROM BANGLADESH. THE REDS WANTED IT MORE, SO THEY GOT IT. CANT KNOCK THE HUSTLE.

HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE COREY PITCHING A COMPLETE 10 INNING GAME, RUSTY PRETENDING TO BE THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA BEHIND HOME PLATE, GRIFFIN MAKING SEVERAL HIGHLIGHT REEL PLAYS AT 2nd BASE, JESSE LEAVING A DENT IN A CHAIN LINK FENCE FROM A LINE DRIVE, AND BRETT DRINKING 5 ROOM TEMPERATURE BUDWEISERS WITHOUT COMPLAINING.

YOU WIN SOME, YOU LOSE SOME. PLAY LIKE A MISFIT.

I smell bacon.

That’s right, the Reba Reds smoked @ballhog.nation today. Joe got some time on the mound, Johnny made a beautiful catch at SS, and Mel finally experienced third base.

Griff (contrary to popular belief bc he’s a Misfit) is a saint and caught for us since our regs couldn’t make it and Mel just didn’t feel like doing it. Great game, boys let’s run it back again. Except for literally at any time but 2pm again good God.

WELL WOULDNT YOU KNOW IT, TWO OF THE TEAMS THAT ARE A LOCK IN FOR NASHVILLE SANDLOT MOUNT RUSHMORE FINALLY GOT TO PLAY WITH EACH OTHER OUTSIDE FOR ONCE. THIS GAME HAD EVERYTHING: IT HAD BUNTS, IT HAD BLOODY LIPS, IT HAD BROKEN LIMBS, IT HAD SO MANY GOD DAMNED LEFTYS. THE MISSYS HOGGED THE W UNDER THE SUNSET, WHERE WE ALL ROASTED OVER HOT RUBBER PELLETS BEING BLASTED BY DIRECT SUNLIGHT. SOME OF THE TEAM EVEN WENT SLEEVELESS, THANKS FOR INSPIRING US, BRETT. YOU’RE A ROLE MODEL AND A TRENDSETTER.

HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE DYLAN BEING SIMULTANEOUSLY THE MOST WORTHLESS AND MOST VALUABLE PLAYER WITH 3 DOUBLES, A LITTLE LEAGUE HOME RUN BY SCHILTZ, A QUESTIONABLE BUNT BY GRIFFY, THE RETURN OF CLEAN UP LEGEND TOM EISENHOOD, SCHILTZ CATCHING 4 CONSECUTIVE HALF INNINGS FOR BOTH THE HOGS AND THE MISFITS, MISFIT LEGEND NATE MAKING A VERY SHORT LIVED APPEARANCE THANKS TO A FEW BEERS AND A POURLY TIMED FENCE HOP, AND NOT ONE, NOT TWO, NOT THREE, BUT ¡ FOUR ! GROUND RULE DOUBLES (I realize now everything in all caps can take the weight out of importance in prose)

Always a good day when you beat the Misfits in true Dolly Parton fashion: with grace, dignity and supporting the less fortunate, on Labor Day, by a score of 9 to 5.

Figure we’d celebrate with a little meme dump of our own 😈
