SassHole Sports Empire- Softball Week 1

The SASS started out pretty slow defensively in the first inning, allowing DCM Services to score four quick runs with no outs off of two missed judged fly balls by Dean. Good thing no other balls went towards right the remainder of the game...
Offensively, we were pretty much unstoppable. Leraw lead the way, going 3 for 4 with 3 ding-dings knocking 6 in. Game balls went to Dean "M_Bern" and JoNette Kuhnau.

• Dean- 2 for 3, 1 Run, 5 RBIs, 1 Double, 1 Home Run
• Kelley- 1 for 2, 1 Walk

Next week we take on the Cuzzy Freight Dogs at 6PM.

North End Rollers 2008 Week 16

In a match-up that mattered naught, the Beans took on The Spares in the last series of the season by their lonesome, as Andy and Jenny were at their cabin. $28.00 was on the table for the individual bowler with the best series. I think we lost. We definitely didn't win $28.00.

Sasshole Kickball Jerseys

Materials Needed:

• Stencil Design
  
• Printer (Not Necessary)
• Freezer Paper
• T-Shirt
• Fabric Paint
• Exacto Knife
• Iron

Instructions:

1. If you've designed your stencil on a computer, you can try to print the image directly on a piece freezer, shiny side down, cut to 8.5 x 11. I was unable to get the freezer paper to feed through a printer, so I printed it on regular paper and traced the design on to the freezer paper.
2. Next, cut out your stencil using an exacto knife over a cutting mat.
3. Then iron your stencil on to the t-shirt. Make sure the shirt has been washed and is wrinkle free beforehand. Make sure your iron is set to the dry setting, go over the stencil once and wait for it to cool. Once it's cooled, go over it a second time and make sure all of your corners and edges are ironed down. Then iron a blank second piece of freezer paper on the opposite inside of the t-shirt to prevent bleed through when actually printing.
4. Next you'll actually paint your shirt. Fabric paint can be found, but I used acrylic paint mixed with a fabric medium. Ideally, I would think you'd rather dab the paint on with a sponge. I used a roller and it seemed to bleed quite a bit. Make your first coat fairly thin and wait for it to dry. Once it's dried you can paint on additional layers until you feel you have enough.
5. When you're done painting, carefully peel off the freezer paper. Lastly, you'll need to dry the t-shirt, inside out on low heat in order to heat set the paint.

Have fun!
