I cracked up when I thought of this, so I had to share it. :)
I c wha' chu did der! :P.
But I do not appreciate the blanketing generalisation and skirting of the issue :hmph:. You gotta cushion the blow! :tongueout.

Maybe I'm missing your point, Roni? My daughter played soft ball. She doesn't throw like a girl either!:straightface:
Not only does she dress like a girl, she IS one!:battingeyelashes:
Growing up i was continuously told you catch like a girl, I have to admit i drop 60% of anything I attempt to catch.
It is a deep seated and embedded issue. Thank you four post -ing :tongueout.
- Lydianne.
Lid E Ann, I cracked up at your replies,Veronica, I do throw like a girl and thet is why I was put in a softball team.
I could not bowl in cricket.
My game was full contact chess (rusty now). I 'en passant' like a girl :P
My head hurts. Must be missing something.
Possibly as you catch like a girl and the last one hit your forehead!
Just Joking! I have less of an idea!
I do both :battingeyelashes:
Throws ;).
- Lydianne.
Funny
Played hockey and football when young :thumbsup:
Rode a dirt bike too :cool:
Dressed like my sisters when I could :heehee:
and that was a lot! :dance:
Veronica, Don’t forget, There’s no crying in baseball.
LOL! There is NO WAY that I can throw as good as a girl!
Growing up, I was unco! It wasn’t until I was in my twenties when I started boxing that I learned any sort of co-ordination.
I can catch most things thrown at me but about the only thing I can throw more than 20 metres is a grenade (lucky, right)?

P.S. My wife throws and catches better than me.
Maybe it's just that Ozzies can't throw, period. LOL sorry I couldn't resist Becky, Michelle & Stacy
Lydianne - those puns of yours are pillow the belt.
@Eemz: Like this, for example? :thinking:.

. . . but there's no way of finding out whether a boy or a girl ( or an Aussie ) threw that one :idontknow:.
EDIT: Just remembered. You're from Ireland. Whoops! :o. Your most recent throwing sporting encounter against the Aussies was actually a good one! :P.
- Lydianne.
EDIT2: I probably ought to respond to the issue at hand. OK, I know my balance is good. I put on shoes by balancing on one foot and sliding the shoe onto the other. Most people I see seem to need to sit down. I walk a lot; so I get small stones kicked up into the shoe often. I remove the stones in the same way. My throwing is OK, I think. My natural throwing mechanic feels pretty smooth, but I'm sure if analysed, it wouldn't prove itself optimal.
My catching . . it's one of those things that probably feels worse than it is, and I make catching attempts always expecting failure. However, I remember once at school, I lent a pen to a colleague. Of course, he came from the other side of the room, and in returning it, rather than making the trek, he preferred to air-mail it. So he threw it ( a perfect throw ), I tracked it through the air, turned back around and faced forward, then I reached behind me with my hand and caught it blind. I didn't turn back for my coronation.. act as though you do it all the time! :ohgoon:. Probably the smartest looking catch I've ever made :shades:.

I can't throw at all, simply pathetic throwing a baseball or softball. I had a guy asked me who taught me to throw? I told him a little girl! He laughed and said it looked like it! Never been good at sports of any kind!
I went to see Johnathan Pie earlier this year. I liked his take on it:
“Australians aren’t bad at cricket; they’re bad at cheating at cricket”!

Years ago when I was young and smoked my Dad once told me I smoked a cigarette like a girl.
What a compliment I thought.
My daughter played on a youth baseball team. She heard the Mariner announcer, Dave Neihouse, use that term once when broadcasting a game. He was using it to denigrate someone. My daughter was livid and sent him a letter. She never hear back. When I was growing up we had a baseball team. "Charlie," AKA Linda, was our center fielder. She was a great player. Both in fielding and batting. She was a girl ahead of her time. Heck, if someone in my family is trolling this site I just outed myself to all of them; brother and daughter, et al.
Thank goodness Lydianne replied first. To cussion the blow for those other dyslexic folk like me. I find it more usual for cd's to wak like a girl.:heehee:
