Week 10 Lameness...

We didn't play this week cuz some people thought it would be a good idea to not go to the lake on a cooler, cloudy day instead of play kickball in beautiful kickball weather.

Does any of that make sense?

No. It doesn't.

Lame.

We'll be revisiting week 10, along with week 6 at some point down the line.

Week #9. Change your name to Saran, cuz it's a wrap.

Game 1

Walruses of Mass Disapproval- 16

Animal Kingdom- 14

Big win for the WMDs. The close score really doesn't tell the story of the game. The WMDs controlled the game from start to finish, with a good rally from the Animals to put themselves within reach. Unfortunately, time ran out in their comeback . It was a solid team effort from everyone on the WMDs, including the subs we picked up from the Whalers and Mexis. Trey and I were terrors on the base paths and Zach and Ryan came through with some heavy kicks. The Animals exhibited the heart that have made them a feared opponent in the league, but even copious amounts of Hennessy and Paully's purple shorts couldn't fuel them to victory.

Game 2

Call Me I$hmael- 14

1/8 Mexican- 24

Mexis keep rollin'. Except for the tourney, they haven't lost a game yet. They were missing the heart of their team, with Gena still out with a knee injury, but still managed to earn a 10 run victory with some help from a select few of the WMDs. The Whalers were definitely in the game, but a couple of key base running errors proved to be their demise, especially a key double play on a flyball/tag up The Rob-ot had no business running on. He should've had a heart-to-cog with the 3rd base coach after that decision...

With their win and the Whalers' loss, the WMDs move into second place and get back to .500. Check the standings after week 9. Oh, and we've still got week 6 to make up...

Week #8. Pick up Madness.

Another weak week for attendance for a couple of teams. The Mexis and Walruses stomped though again in the attendance department with a forfeit win for each.

We did manage to get a boss action BBQ going though, with a couple of fun, Pabst Blue Ribbon fueled pick up games.

Hey! Everyone should show up this week and have fun!

Sleeping in the dirt and smelling like a camp fire sucks. Playing kickball with yr friends in the sun rules.

One.

Week 7. Real Talk.

Sorry, for the late update, but I'm a busy man. Here we go.

Game 1:

Walruses of Mass Disapproval- 24

1/8 Mexican- 25

The WMDs put up a helluva fight, but once again the Mexis proved victorious, maintaining their perfect record. This one was a barn burner. The WMDs found themselves in the hole by 15 runs or so in the early going, but stormed their way back into the game by the 9th. Up by one in the bottom of the inning, with all of the pressure on the WMDefense, the Mexis managed to put together a quick 2 runs and take home the game. Also, a big thanks to a handful of Whalers who subbed in in our time of need.

Game 2:

Animal Kingdom- 32

Call Me I$hmael- 34

Another massive come back in this one... The Animals found themselves backed into a corner quickly, with an eerily similar 15 run deficit in the early innings, as the Whalers were pouring on the runs. Eventually though, the Animals found the heart (with the absence of their cap'n and spiritual leader, no less) that led them to victory in the 3AJDMCPAKBCIAGTFCY2K+10 and battled back into the game in the late innings. Their spirited rally was for naught however, as the Whalers held on for the victory, in large part due to the Rob-ot throwing himself all over the field diving for fly balls and one timely catch by Chase One-Shoe.

Here's the current standings...

Pre-Labor Day plans...

I know it's a ways off, but here's the revised game plan for, what was going to be, a Tron-game tournament held the weekend before Labor day weekend:

You voted for it, you got it- An East vs West Tron game. Crews will be assembled based on their affiliation, real or otherwise, with what side of the country they grew up on/hail from. Captains for the squads will be chosen. Teams will be selected. Night will fall. Balls will glow. Beers will be swilled. The West will once again fall under the iron fist of the East (wait... what?). I'll assume the cap'ncy of the East. If yr an east coaster and want to get on the squad, I'm having try outs. Get at me. We'll need a west coast cap'n. Anyone?

Prior to that adventure, there are several ladies that would like to play a Guys 'n' Dolls game, so we'll get that going that week as well. If you want to play on the Dolls team, talk to Gena or Katie. They're heading that up.

It'll all be goin' down on Aug. 29th.

Say word!

Week 6 (actually week 4) Bleakdown.

Week 6 has come and gone in absolutely disgraceful fashion. We decided to go back and make up week 4's Mother's day missed weekend and reschedule week 6's games, which will be made up at a later date.

Here's the scores, or lack there of...

Game 1- Call Me I$hmael vs Animal Kingdom

No one from Animal Kingdom bothered to show up except for Jim, Christian, and Collin's friend Bobbie. As such, Animal Kingdom forfeited the game and dropped to last place in the standings. Call Me I$hmael jumped up to 2nd place with the attendance induced victory due to...

Game 2- 1/8 Mexican vs Walruses of Mass Disapproval

Another forfeit! The WMD's only had 2 players show up (myself and Todd) and Todd and one of the subs got hurt in the 2nd inning, forcing another forfeit. With the loss, the WMDs drop to 3rd place in the standings and 1/8 Mexican remains undefeated.

The fallout from this weeks games could be biblical... There are already rumors of mass firings, defections, team name changes, teams disbanding, changing the game to frizbee baseball, dogs and cats living together, new professional soccer recruits, and the associated fire and brimstone that come along with biblical fallout.

Stay tuned... And for f---s sake, show up...

Finally some pics from the 3AJDMCPAKBCIAGTFCY2K+10!
