Softball Has its Ups and Downs

Softball has its ups and downs (but mostly ups). Here are some examples:

UP. Playing the game is a lot of fun.

DOWN. You don't get to chose what the weathers like when your playing the game.

UP. You get to have great team mates.

DOWN. Sometimes, when trying to catch a pop fly, You and your team mates crash into each other.
               And that, my friend, hurts.

UP.  You get to pitch.

DOWN. The day after you practice pitching (like today), your arm is really, really soar.

UP. You get to throw a ball as hard as you want.

DOWN. Sometimes, when trying to catch those balls, they hit you in the head . . . hard.

Up. If you get a good pitcher while batting, you can hit the ball.

DOWN. If you "don't" get a good pitcher, "they" hit "you" on the head, leg, knee, stomach, arm,   
               elbow, ect.

So those are my ups and downs of softball. The downs are just what happen and they are part of the game.  You know what they say "No pain, no gain" or is it game? Oh, I don't know!
