OT: Jenny Finch retires: my interest in softball disappears
No offense to women's softball players or watchers out there, but there was only one thing that ever made me pause the remote to watch a women's softball game in my lifetime, and that was Jenny Finch. Of course she was a tremendous pitcher, but I was interested for... other reasons, as most that saw her might agree.. Now word comes that she is retiring. Too bad, as I'll likely never see a softball inning again, but all the best to her and her husband, who's an MLB player.

that she will be on ESPN covering softball by next season
You should really spend some time at Alumni Field.
P.S. It's "Jennie."
until just this moment that there was actually a pro softball league that one could "retire" from. I kind of assumed it was like when any other Olympian retires, like she was just not planning to compete anymore. I didn't realize there was a regular paycheck involved.
She never really did it for me. Not that she's unattractive, but I always thought her looks were blown out of proportion because she was a successful softball player who wasn't huge or scary looking.
Michigan's own softball team has had dozens of girls over the years who were better looking than she is in my opinion. Alessandra Giampolo comes to mind.
I have no idea what you are talking about... She's pretty hot if you like the "girl next door" type.
I'm not claiming to have high standards. Because I don't. I just never thought she was the bombshell hottie that others made her out to be.
Also, I'm not saying I wouldn't hit it. Just for the sake of clarity.
Although this is a sad day, I still really like softball....
I...I think I love her
She's got some man hands.
Michigan is too good to just let softball fall completely by the wayside.
There may be more fish in the sea, but it's really too bad that there isn't more Finch in the C's
...and Nikki Nemitz play on Finch's Chicago Bandits team. I suppose if you live in an area where there's an NPF team, it might be a good, low cost occasional entertainment option, especially if you have kids who play softball.
For Pics?
who is that???? that's one terribly plastic-looking face (although I'm sure the plastic isn't just above the shoulders).
It's a porn starlet and yes you can be assured that's 100% plastic.
is the softball team
I think it's ice hockey.
One statement: University of Michigan, 2005 softball national champions. That is why you should pay attention to softball.
She was an icon and one of the best players in her sport, but I don't think you should stop paying attention. Another more refined "Jennie Finch" will take the mantle from the old Jennie Finch and the cycle will begin anew.
I mean why else are their stars in women sports but for men to oogle over them??
Can you say Playboy spread.
Won't be me though.
Might be she.
If I had to put money on someone doing it, it would be you after 12 beers.
for Kat Oosterman.
Or any one of the Texas A&M Aggies softball team from last year. Sweet jesus, they need to do a calendar.
Though not really THAT bad...

No-Script blocked about 30 extensions on that site. Malware much?
But I know we're getting a little sensitive what "pops up" at work...and while it doesn't show anything...I'm sure there are some who don't want their boss looking over their shoulder seeing that. So, the sad link rather than the embed.
I mean, really, the pregnant one is what might turn most people off...lol...
Even pregnant, she still looks pretty good. Better than most stereotypical softball players at least.
A creepy guy trying to justify his always hitting on pregnant women when he was out, wedding ring or no, told me that once. I'm not sure what he meant by it, other than, "Hi, I'm really, really creepy and you should avoid me wherever you go."
...of the two guys who go the the OBGYN at the hospital, to pick up chicks....why?...because they already know the women there put out.
...disagree. But there's always someone who doesn't realize that under 20 and taught aren't the only attractive women on the planet....
Mmmmmmmmmm.....Cat Osterman.
Am I the only person that read the original post as "Jerimy Finch" and got kind of depressed?
you're depressed because there are no pictures of JERIMY Finch in a bikini in this thread?
Yes you are the only one (backs away slowly)
Thread title said nothing about bikinis, SO THERE.
Team USA is playing the Futures team right now. Michigan's Jordan Taylor is on the mound for the Futures team. Finch just got an infield single for Team USA. USA up 1-0 on Futures.
