jakes update on this years softball team- kinda funny

jake has taken up sports writing as a minor so you all will be getting updates on this years possabilities softball team. keep in mind this is all in fun (the teams real. feel free to stop down on fridays to watch and drink a few beers!)

**Update- The devastatingly fast Ryan Walker anchored the outfield for Possabilities Youth Rec softball team last season. His speed and ambition helped secure a spot in the Semi Finals in Australia last year with a in the park homerun, which capped off a come back win in the bottom of the 9th against the heavily favored Greenland Softball Association. 
The great season that Ryan Walker had with Possabilities was the last year on his one-year, $9.55/hour contract. When filling for free agency, it did not take long for the Seattle Shit Head softball team to lock up a one-year, $10.50/hour contract with the young slugger. Reports have it that Walker is looking for a contract with the Possabilities Youth Rec Softball team next year, but the hurt and sorrow that Possabilities is feeling is making this agreement hard.
Ryan Walker will be missed. Being a good sport that i am, i hope he sucks in Seattle and falls apart and comes begging back for Possabilities

**Update- Nate Evens and the Possabilities Youth Rec Softball team came to terms around 4:30 P.M. Thursday evening on a two-year, $1,947.53/hour contract plus incentives that can earn him up to $6.5 million more a year. The base salary the two ends agreed upon gives Evens a yearly income of $55,838,274; the biggest contract in Co-ed D league history.
Evens lead the team in Homeruns and RBIs and also lead the league in fastest shot gunning of a beer. The young phenom plays a crucial role on the Possabilities team, starting at third base and batting 3 or 4 in the lineup. Evens has always been known for his impressive on-field play, but what the massive crowds do not see is his "teddy bear" side. When looking at this 6'2" 250 lbs man might be intimidating, but looks can be deceiving. Evens is reported being frightened by worms, and could not hurt a fly.
The contract gives the Possabilities Youth Rec Softball team a huge advantage in the Co-ed D league. Evens brings a potent bat with a lot of pop with a great glove at third. More importantly, he brings his "teddy bear-ness" to the game of softball, making it fun and enjoyable for the players and the crowd.

he he Jake wrote up the following info about this years softball team, it was to cute not to copy and paste for you all t read. love you all
