April 12, 2008

Washington, D.C. — The Hillbilly Hitmen softball club released their 2008 Congressional Softball League schedule, after successfully navigating the mad scramble of email scheduling, which defines the CSL’s commitment to lawlessness. Manager Ice looks forward to a challenging campaign for the team, “There are a lot of good teams on our slate this year, but we’re excited to be back on the diamond [or parched tufts of grass of the Mall and sketchy Anacostia environs] and look forward to another [occasionally] successful campaign in 2008 [until the playoffs when we will probably stick our collective heads in our asses just like every other year].”

This year’s slate features solely Thursday tilts since the Hitmen are getting old and are no longer interested in playing multiple games per week. Familiar foes “Margin of Terror” on July 24, the “Showboats” on July 17 and heated rival (thanks to J.R.) “Minnesota 5 lb. Bass” on June 12, highlight the schedule. The season also features an early showdown with “Jesse and the Rippers”, which is sure to cause some extra motivation for our very own JohnStamos.
