Ty's Predictions Fall Short

Tampa, FL - It was confirmed last night that WAKA Rep, Ty, has no idea what he is talking about when it comes to predicting the outcome of games. Not one of his week 7 predictions came even close to reality. Lets break down this debacle of an attempt at fortune telling.

Smack My Pitch Up vs Jamestown: Prediction: Smack My Pitch Up 4-2. Actual Result: Jamestown 8-2. What a disaster of a pick. Jamestown had their best game all season while Smack My Pitch Up continued their slide in the standings. After starting the season 3-0, Smack My Pitch Up has since gone on a 4 game slide and are dropping in the standings like a lead balloon.

Don't Touch My Balls vs ShinKickers: Prediction: Don't Touch My Balls 5378 - 2. Actual Result: Don't Touch My Balls 3-2. Strangely enough, this was the most accurate pick though there was clearly a 5375 run overestimate. At least the ShinKicker score was correct.

Seminoles vs I'd Hit It: Prediction: I'd Hit it 5-4. Actual Result: Tie 1-1. A defensive show down in the longest 1-1 game ever in the history of kickball. This game was just barely allowed to have last inning played as the 5th inning began at 8:57pm. If it had started just 3 minutes later the game would have been called for going to long after 4 innings. Eric (or is it Erik?) kicked the longest triple ever as the ball made it from Field A all the way to first base on field B. He celebrated his moonshot with an interesting karaoke performance of an Ike and Tina song sith Stacey at MacDinton's after the game.

Ballers vs Great Balls of Fire: Prediction: Great Balls of Fire 11 people at the bar / Ballers 0 people at the Bar. Actual Result: Ballers 5-4 with about 7 Ballers at the bar and only about 5ish Great Balls of Fire at the bar. No prediction was made on the actual game result, which is good because it probably would have been wrong anyways. The Ballers impressed with their bar attendance last night, especially with Kim and Meredith doing an amazing rendition of Baby Got Back on the stage.

Quit Yer Pitchin vs Drunk Again and Scoring: Prediction: Quit Yer Pitchin -2 to -7. Actual Result: Drunk Again and Scoring 9-3. Also predicted was that Quit Yer Pitchin had the defensive advantage, that was also proven wrong as Drunk Again and Scoring scored more runs (9) last night than their first 6 games combined (6). I was asked by Courtney on Quit Yer Pitchin to never make a prediction again with her team winning since every time I do they lose.
