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!

New poll up!

Answer it.

Maybe instead of doing a Tron-a-thon tournament, we do an East v. West tron game that weekend. We can also do the Girls v. Mans game before that... Whatever...

I'm open to suggestions...

Animal Kingdom takes the Crown at the 3AJDMCPAKBCI>FCY2K+10!

Once again, the Annual Joey Danger Memorial Celebrity Pro-Am Kickball Classic Invitational and Good Times Fun Celebration went off with out a hitch. Well, except for the torrential rains and frigid temps, but you can't have it all, all of the time. All in all, there was a great turn out and someone even had the foresight to bring a grill. It didn't function that well for some reason or another, but you have to appreciate the effort. Anyway, on to the good stuff...

Semi-Final 1 #1 seed 1/8 Mexican- 20

#4 seed Call Me I$hmael-10

In the first game, the Whalers, coming off of their first win of the season, were expecting to keep their momentum going against the Mexis. And through the first several innings, that's exactly what they did, jumping out to a 10-4 lead after 4. In the bottom of the 4th however, the Mexis came storming back, serving the Whalers up their 2nd 10 pc. McNugget in as many weeks. From there, the Mexis didn't look back and cruised into the finals.

Semi-Final 2 #2 seed Walruses of Mass Disapproval- 13

#3 seed Animal Kingdom- 18 Extra Innings!

Another hard fought game on both sides. The WMDs seem to have a knack for taking teams to extra frames, but couldn't pull this one out. A couple of defensive miscues and some untimely pop outs proved to be the nails in the coffin for the WMDs. The Animal Kingdom however, once again played their asses off with a solid team effort from all.

A big 5 run top of the inning in the extra frame from the Animals put the pressure on the WMDs to come up with some runs, but the Animals were able to shut it down and move on to the finals.

3rd Annual Joey Danger Memorial Celebrity Pro-Am Kickball Classic Invitational and Good Times Fun Celebration Y2K+10! Championship Game!

#1 seed 1/8 Mexican- 11

#3 seed Animal Kingdom- 18

The mighty Mexis have fallen! In spite of the aforementioned torrential rains and frigid temps, that only got worse as the game went on, The Animal Kingdom was able to keep their momentum going from the 1st round into the championships and sent the Mexis to their 1st ever defeat. Jumping out to a 10-1 lead after 2, the Animals put the pressure on early with contributions from everyone on the team. The Mexis fought back in the 3rd with 5 of their own, but just couldn't muster enough offense through the later innings to get them back into the game. A couple of runs here and there for the Animal Kingdom put the game out of reach and they cruised to W in the season's first tourney. Congrats, dudes and chicks.

Here's the bracket. I'll try to get some pics up later...
