Bush league
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bush league is a general term used to describe an action or thing as being amateur, inferior or crude. In a literal sense, it refers to a low quality minor-league in baseball not associated with any of the major league teams. The term originated from the state of minor-league fields that often were ringed with shrubs and bushes.
The phrase sounds similar to the NASCAR Busch Series (name changed to Nationwide Series as of 2008 season), sometimes known as the “Busch League”, since it is essentially NASCAR’s minor league circuit. However, popular usage far predates the creation of this organization.
Just don’t be that guy ok!!!!
Ben Turner I found your old station just south of Springfield…..

THANK YOU! stated Jim ATHLETIC TRAINER
So I will say that I am GREAT compared to when this rehab work started. Thank you to all you have helped….but I still have a few more steps to go before I…I feel like I am ready. But throwing a 16kg kettle ball around sure does help me get that feeling of confidence faster.
Jim is my ATHLETIC TRAINER if you did not get that….
All of my wishes, dreams, prayers, and energy is going towards Friedman and my old Slipstream mates! Make sure to pay special attention because there is a chance that Mike might be sporting this aerodynamic advantage sticker in Roubaix?
sitting the bench sucked in High School and it still sucks now.
I really hope that I will be able to get back in the starting line up soon…ie get my knee 100% so I can even race.
What does sitting the bench really do? Well it can make some athletes get fully fed up with some piece of shit coach that feels that he is doing something better for his team by having your ass on the bench, but really he is just making his team worse by not allowing his TEAM to grow and benefit from experience that will build their character as an athlete/s and human being/s. I will say that I was lucky to not have to totally sit the bench my whole career, but those times that I was pulling the splinters out of my ass really helped me to understand that I was going to limit this from happening again. Even if some of my past coaches…coach!…thought I was only going through the motions, I think I do not even have to explain myself to make them think otherwise.
A lot of the times it is the bench warms that continue past those SUPER STARS that were the biggest and greatest thing since Doug Greek could actually see his feet past his old belly? When one is used to being the star it is hard to continue in life when he or she is not always the star, what happens when they are overcome with LIFE’S road blocks….each little and big one? It just does not seem to always come as easy at it used to huh? Well it is then that the true worth of an individual is known?
So I will just sit here and carve my name in this bench as I attempt to figure out the world through these fogged over glasses from always seeming to be warming up for the big show, but something just brings me right back to square one….the bench.
In fact some of my best times have been on the bench….I remember make little heart signs to a certain girl named Megan back in High School or thinking up the next crazy thing I might do if I get in to the game….like the Hacksaw Jim Dougans battle Cry “HOOOOOOOO” as I hold up my imaginary 2by4 or how in the hell I am going to stay warm because it is damn cold on this sideline…oh oh I know, I will play a joke on my friend Josh and crouch behind him as somebody pushes him backwards so he falls over(after thought…bad idea…nearly cracked Josh’s elbow)?
Sitting the Bench helps an athlete understand why he/she continues to warm up and practice day after day….because he/she loves it!
you just can’t mix a red with the orange no no you just can’t.
Hitchhiker: “No! No, no, not 6! I said 7. Nobody’s comin’ up with 6. Who works out in 6 minutes? You won’t even get your heart goin, not even a mouse on a wheel.”
Ted: That - “good point.”
So I have been getting some superb therapy from a few amazing trainers…..Beth Spangler RN and Acupuncturist, then the tag team of Karen and Jim at Midwest Sports Medicine Clinic then getting moved down to Health Tracks of St. Johns to build some strength in my atrophied legs. I will say that I have been very frustrated with all of this, but I have had to take a step back and realize that I have had such chronic problems for so long that it will take a little longer to get straightened out again.
Although with amazing help I have been able to make some hug gains in the past few weeks.
Hopefully I am ready to race by May?
ya this is awesome. but I did put in quite a few hours of the past few days, so I am happy.
just so you all know I have not been sitting on my ass saying Woo-is-me……any of you people know what a pistol squat is? well look it up and try doing that with while holding on the the other foot of the out stretched leg? but not really eccentric, only concentrically as if you are eccentrically flexing while you are riding your bike then you are just fighting yourself. kind of tough just to get in this position and not fall over? And yes my ATHLETIC TRAINER is standing right there the whole time
