Well, the Chumado's might have lost BIG TIME, but at least we got this beauty for an ump:














Not only did she sport the 1979 feathered hair, velcro sneaks and kitty cat socks, she also really knew how to treat a team that was playing very badly. Thanks Umpy Umpertons. Can't wait until our next meeting...

We also got our new jerseys. After next week's game we'll let you know if that was a good thing or a bad thing. For now we thank NJevin for the concept and Jal for drawing the new design and of course coach William for getting it all done.














Our experience at the field may have stunk but back at the pub...Well, that's another story. We celebrated John's 41st B-day with a lovely cake that his lovely wife Jal brought. And, in case his spittle wasn't enough, we passed the cake around to the other two recent birthday celebrants so that they could also blow out the candles and contaminate the icing as well. So thanks, and a happy birthday again to Chris and Lena. A good time was had by all and thanks to Patty we soon forgot what the word softball even meant! Until next week...

The Chumado's Second game will be tomorrow, Thursday, April 27th. The game starts at 7pm and we'll be at Layhill field #2 playing none other than....CHEAP SEATS! That's right, for the first time in a regular season game the Chumados will go up against their friends Cheap Seats. It should be a lot of fun no matter the outcome. AND, let's hope that Patty is back and ready for us at Stained Glass after the game this week.

Come out and cheer us on tomorrow! GO CHUMADOS!!

Well, the Chumados played their first game of the season yesterday. The weather was nothing short of perfect for opening day of the 2006 softball season but the team was a little worried when they showed up to the field and saw their competition. There were a lot of big men on the Potomac Playa's team and the women looked pretty tough too!

When the game began the Chumado's quickly realized they were much more skilled than their competition! MVP Shaun started the team off to a great start with the first at bat and it only got better from there. The other two MVP's, Nate and Khalid, had some awesome plays, one of them a home run. Coach William and Joey B. assisted each other in pitching a no hitter and the rest of the team played phenomenally together. You'd never know that we hadn't played together in months! It was a good way to start the season and we hope it's a sign of things to come.

Thanks to all of the great fans that came to cheer us on, a few that come to mind (and please forgive me if we forgot someone) are Steve, Dave, Grandma, Mariana, Roger, Tony, Matthew, Walla and Chris, of course, some of our best and most consistent fans, the Buffano girls and we can't forget the score keeper NJevin! Here's to a wonderful season to come - GO CHUMADO'S!

P.S. - Khalid is having a party to celebrate Nicole's Birthday on Saturday at 2pm. Please call Khalid or Nicole to find out directions to their home and what you can contribute to the party.

It's that time of year again...

That's right! Chumado's softball starts on Thursday, April 20th at 6pm. We play the First Potomac Playas. Now, I don't know about you, but I don't know any "playa's" from Potomac, unless they are calling themselves beaches...so let's put these guys in their place.

For all of the Chumado's on the team, be sure to get out to the batting cages before next Thursday and get your arms warmed up.

For everyone that would like to come out and support us we would love to see you in the stands at Layhill Field next Thursday. For those of you who don't remember from last year how to get to the park the directions are:

14901 Layhill Road
Coming from Silver Spring:
Take Georgia Avenue towards Wheaton
Make a right onto Layhill Road
Follow all the way until it becomes one lane and the park will be on your right hand side.
We will be playing at field #1


After the game we will be heading to the Stained Glass Pub to visit our favorite honorary Chumado Patty! If you can't make it to the game be sure to meet the team there.

GO CHUMADOS!
