Week 1 Results

Well what a fun time week 1 was. There is clearly lots of talent in the division this season. Week 1 was full of good defense, well except for a couple of cases. Half of the games ended in shutouts.

The Bull Gators and Seminoles game was probably the most anticipated game of week 1. The Seminoles are the most veteran team in the division and have won a couple of championships. The Bull Gators are half of the old Don't Touch Our Balls team that lost like 2 games in 5 seasons or something ridiculous like that. The game was intense but luckily no one was arrested and the Seminoles got things off to a good start by winning 3-1.

The other half of Don't Touch Our Balls is called... well Don't Touch Our Balls and they were able to continue their winning ways in the first blowout of the night. Don't be confused by the pink t-shirts, Ballkickers are not the old Ballers. Don't Touch Our Balls rolled 11-0.

We've Got The Runs and The Balled and the Beautiful had a pitchers duel going. Since my team for the last 2 seasons wore Royal Blue it was a little strange to not play in this game. In any event, We've Got The Runs was somehow able to get one run in this defensive showdown and won 1-0.

Field D saw the match-up between two teams with some of the longest names. Your Mom Makes a Dry Roast faced off against Tech USA - Where My Pitches At. Your Mom Makes a Dry Roast lost the number-of-letters-in-the-team-name contest by a score of 23-21. While that and $2 will buy you a Sam Adams draft at MacDinton's it really doesn't mean very much. Unfortunately for they team in yellow they also lost the kickball game by the same margin and Tech USA - Where My Pitches At won 2-0.

The late game one Field A was Raging Balls vs New Kicks On The Block. Lets not talk about this one. At least I was able to peg Wes as he was trying to score. New Kicks on the Block put a shellacking on Raging Balls 13-1.

Quit Yer Pitchin and Suck My Kick were two of the better teams last season. Its likely that it will be the same case this season as these two teams faced off in one of the best games this week. Quit Yer Pitchin just narrowly took the win in this one by a score of 3-2.

The late game on field C was not a good game if you were color blind. Even if you weren't color blind it was a little tough to see the difference between the pistachio t-shirts of Vicious and Delicious and the lime green t-shirts of I Already Hit That. Maybe that contributed to the final outcome or maybe not. I Already Hit That, with their gangster theme, took it to Vicious and Delicious 5-0. Wait, no, I'm wrong. See, those colors are too similar. Actually it was Vicious and Delicious that won this game.

One of the most fun teams from last season, Anything But Blue Balls showed up for their game about an hour and a half early. Meanwhile Kick In A Box showed up about 2 minutes before game time. Maybe that extra preparation and strategizing paid off because Anything But Blue Balls won 5-2. The real disappointment though was that no purple t-shirts were seen at MacDinton's after the games. What's up with that?

There were a lot of new faces last night and week 1 is always a week to just sort of see who everyone is and evaluate your team so the week 1 results are probably not a great indication of how the rest of the season will go. What we did see is how cool some of the new players are. Here is to the start of a great season!
