Would you order a "PMS" t-shirt?

Mary Ann...I want one!

Pam

I'd order one, too - nice way to warn people to leave me alone when he's pitching!!!

Mary Ann,

Would the t-shirt have the baseball explanation of PMS? If not, I think it would definitely devalue the message (and the price of the shirt).


Ann

Ann ...

I would envision something like this :

Caution:
This woman is suffering from
P(itcher's)
M (other's)
S(yndrome)

The spelling out of the words would be in much smaller lettering. Have a few ideas in mind that I would work out with the manufacturer.

But I agree ... we wouldn't want it to be confused with the "other" syndrome.

And maybe we could suggest that some of the distaff websters should buy them for their wives as Mother's Day gifts ... depending on how much of a sense of humor those ladies have.

How about "Stay Away From Me" I have PMS, then in smaller letters pitcher's mom syndrome. Profits could go to HSBBW..Just a thought....

That sounds good, Mary Ann....my husband must think I have a sense of humor because he once gave me a sweatshirt for Christmas that was pink and had in big bold letters on the front: "If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." Actually, I'm usually a pretty pleasant person but I do have my moments.


Ann

Mary Ann -

Put me down for three! Mine and a couple for my two dear friends that are also showing signs of the illness!

Great idea!

I'd like a few. I'll ask my fellow pitcher Mom's if they want one too.

Hey, Christmas shopping finished in March. I feel so organized!

Say Hey!

I say yes!

Medium, large? I can sel them at concession!!!!! Anything to make $$ for the team.

What a great idea! Mike pitched (was quite good, actually---not blazing, but had a nasty changeup; ground ball pitcher) through JV in HS and through Senior Legion in the summers, but gave it up because his forte is hitting and he didn't want to pitch in college. So---I suffered from PMS for many years. I can certainly empathize---wish I had that shirt way back when!

Is this heaven?...

Can I get one for my wife?

Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball, the rules and realities of the game—and do it by watching first some high-school or small-town teams.

Me too!
Maybe 2 or 3. I'll check w/ a few friends.
I don't know about others but depending on cotton content, I think Men's sizes might be better. 'cause of "shrinkage"

I definitely need a men's size but it's not because of "shrinkage."

Some of us have gotten a little "fluffy" in our middle age....I love that word!


Ann

"Fluffy"?
or
"Puffy"?

Either one makes me "Huffy"!

Sorry.........couldn't resist!

been talking to other mom's with this syndrome...I probably will need at least 5....

and we're a fluffy group too....

Put me down for two! And I too am fluffy/puffy AND sometimes huffy!!

HMom - 3 for me at least but could be more, particularly if it's a bit 'girly' vs a guys t-shirt. Let me know and I'll send you the sizes.

-----------------------------
Pay attention to the feedback that takes you where you want to go!

I would order one for my Wife!!!

Play every game as if it were your last

Definately put me down for the PMS shirts- probably a couple of shirts!!I am also looking for a device to keep my hands from shaking while my son is on the mound -lol!! But at least he pitched a 1 hit shutout for the first game of the season....now if all of his starts can be like that(wishful thinking...!)

My wife is here with me and wants one [medium ]please let me know cost and where to send.

Mary Ann,

I'd like one, too ... thanks for thinking of this!

Am planning to talk with "the shirt guy" early this week and see what we can come up with. A fellow UCR parent, who put me in touch with him, has already talked with him briefly and I want to get some graphics to look at, too. Will keep you all posted.

Mary Ann,

I had to chuckle to myself this weekend sitting at OU's ballpark and watching Ryan come in to pitch in relief not once but twice in the weekend series in games 1 and 3 and picturing me in the PMS t-shirt. That was double the usual anxiety that I usually incur in a weekend series. I posted an update on the After High School thread that was started by FrankF. I really need this t-shirt! Actually, I might need to order 2 of them!!

And for the other girlfriends on here, please don't confuse "fluffy" with "puffy." Puffy makes you think of that "other" PMS that we don't want to talk or think about!!!

Fluffy is just a polite way of saying that some of us don't have our much slimmer schoolgirl figures anymore. But that's okay because most of our men don't have their slim and trim teen bodies anymore, either.

Fluffy is good, puffy is bad.

Ann

I think this shirt personifies my feelings at the game. I would really love one of the shirts. Just let me know where and when to send the funds.

Ann,

"Fluffy is just a polite way of saying that some of us don't have our much slimmer schoolgirl figures anymore."

I still have my schoolgirl figure ... I haven't seen it for a while, but I know it's still there ... just "cushioned" a bit so that I can give better hugs!

Julie

MN-Mom,


How very right you are!

Ann

Anything ever happen with this?

Sorry, friends ... been too busy following the team. Doesn't mean I won't look into it a little further ... no matter what, I will ALWAYS be a pitcher's mom.

To all who are interested ... please send me a P/M (e.g., sizes and quantity) so I can keep track and give the guy some numbers ...

Thats not funnyizzle. And itz "Yeah." not "Yo!". Yeah.



You are not funny, either, Philliez...the rest of your inappropriate jive has been edited by a moderator.

Ladies if you need help with philliez let me know-- the eradicate button is ready

Thanks, TR---I'm on it!

I must have missed something because I thought the Philly kid's lingo was pretty funny. Heck, I thought we were having a good time and just kidding around. I didn't see the post that was edited. What happened? Anybody?


Ann

Ann---

He apparently has no sense of humor, despite the silly jive talkin'. I just sent you an email.

Thanks for the info, Karen.

Philly kid,

I was the ONLY webster who thought you were cute and amusing. Now that I have found out that you called me some most nonamusing names that resulted in your last post having to be edited since this is a family website, I will defend you NO more. I thought you were just kidding around and I responded in kind. Now, it seems that you can "dish it out" but you can't take it. What a waste of creativity on your part! By the way, I'm really a nice person but I guess you'll never come to realize that! Sorry but that is YOUR loss. Come back when you grow up, young man, and then we can have some good, meaningful conversation.


Ann

But the rest of us realize what a gem you are Ann- keep smilin'.
