Good Day Belugas,
This is Nate “White Dynamite” Moline, or as the Mexican’s working the soup kitchen I frequent like to call me, “El Hombre Alto”. It was brought to my attention that our season starts in less than a week. Although I am still nursing a hangover from a 6 week binge drinking session, I have decided to will up enough mental strength to recap the off season for many of the Belugas.
Going into the off season, I told everyone “practice makes perfect,” and in doing so, was hoping most people would work on their softball abilities. It appeared that no one did anything of the sort…
– Amanda was last spotted in Columbia trying to recreate Weekend at Bernie’s with the body of Pablo Escobar. If anyone has any information on her whereabouts, please call the FBI hotline.
– Caitlin, disgusted by his red Tahoe, forced Dan to become a lesbian and made him buy a brand new Subaru. To this day, Dan has been unable to find his man card and can be found sobbing in his basement to old episodes of Friends.
– Sommer served 5 months in a federal prison for stabbing a co-worker with a calculator after they claimed that “debits do not equal credits.” Although she did not practice softball, Sommer did manage to join the Cripes, who are sponsoring our team this year!
– Due to a midlife crisis (because he is old as hell), Mike spent several weeks in Galveston, Texas attempting to recreate his senior year spring break by throwing knives at seagulls and playing with dead sharks.
– Steph vowed to spend the winter using physics to determine the optimal Beluga batting stance. After many successful attempts, she attributed the Beluga’s poor batting to “constantly being black out drunk.”
– Bri took up college coaching again, only to find that binge drinking on the bench while shouting about “those God damn hipsters” is not nearly as acceptable at Macalester College as it is for the Belugas.
– Paul attempted to murder Pat by recreating multiple scenes from Game of Thrones, only to find that his softball abilities translate directly into sword swinging abilities… meaning he can never hit anything no matter how slow it is moving.
Lastly, I wanted to address a few rumors about my alcoholism. Many people thought that it has settled down and I was possibly on a straightened path… I want to squash these rumors here and now. I enjoy my beers like I enjoy my life… tall.
Softball begins next Wednesaday at 7:00pm. As always, bring more people if you want, we can always bat as many people as we want besides the people in the field… except Kelsey, she can stay home.
I am tall. I am White Dynamite.
Nate
