Obviously, we love summer softball. We love it only slightly less when it requires that we be at Central Park at 11 AM, as we were on Saturday, to play the disturbingly nice kids from the Wall Street Journal.

The highlights: Deadspin's Will Leitch was 3-for-3 with three runs scored and several noteworthy errors. Former Oddjack editor A.J. Daulerio had a home run that was basically a dead sprint past countless out of position WSJ fielders. Gridkipper editor Chris Mohney played left field so deep that he was actually in Harlem, while 'skipper contributor Josh Stein kept the opposition confused by doing double back handsprings. Because Team Gawker is for everyone, CBS Public Eye producer Brian Montopoli made an excellent double play, and Consumerist's Ben Popken squatted nicely in the catcher's position. Due to the early hour, Gawker Media managing editor Lockhart Steele was a no-show, and yours truly, feeling cranky and frightened by the sunlight, headed back to bed in the fourth inning.

At the bottom of the second, Team Gawker was down 11-1, but by the end we rallied so our spanking was only slightly less painful, with a final score of 19-13. We're happy to take the loss — anything to help print people feel a little better about themselves.
