Week 4 Recap

By some miracle, we were able to actually play kickball last night. It was a monsoon at 6 pm in every area around the field, except for the field itself which just got a sprinkling. By game time, everything had past and though the ball was slick and it was quite humid, it was actually a great night to play kickball.

On field A, Suck My Kick and Ball Kickers did battle at 7pm. Ok so maybe if you looked at the final score you wouldn't think that "did battle" was an accurate description but there were some high kicks with shoe projectiles thanks to a certain Jared "John" Holmes. In case anyone hasn't noticed yet, Ball Kickers are still yet to score a run on the season. At this rate, there is a very good chance that if they are able to score a run in the game, they will simply march off the field victorious. Even if they are losing the game by a large margin. Suck My Kick took this one, 6-0.

The next game of the night pitted Don't Touch Our Balls against Quit Yer Pitchin. There is only one thing you need to know about this game. In the last inning, with runners on base, a QYP kicker kicked the best kick I have seen in a long long time. This ball was kicked into the next zip code. Unfortunately for QYP, apparently Don't Touch Our Balls has Usain Bolt playing left field, who made an amazing outstretched, one handed catch, ala Randy Moss, turning what would have been a game changing home run into the last out of the game. Don't Touch Our Balls went to the top of the table with this win, 5-3. After the game Don't Touch Our Balls was enjoying some shots of vodka provided by a group of Ukrainians. Scarlet was asked if she would be putting out and replied, "They are putting out for us". Oh Scarlet! (she said I could quote her on that)

The Seminoles and The Balled and The Beautiful faced off in the garnett and gold game. In the 3rd inning the score was 2-1 in favor of the Seminoles who had the bases loaded. A ball was kicked down the line, while The Balled and The Beautiful thought it was foul (and apparently so did one of the refs) the official call was a fair ball so the Seminoles cleared the bases while the Balled and the Beautiful stood around watching. According to Jen, this game was again, "Pure raw awesomeness". Seminoles won 7-1

In the profiled game of the week, Vicious and Delicious took on New Kicks On The Block. Mike didn't wear his Darth Vader mask which was very upsetting but it was suggested by his anger management therapist that he refrain from such things after his outburst after reading the blog last week. Vicious and Delicious's Ghostbusters were laying it all out on the line making some fantastic plays in the field while meanwhile, Joe Albano let his flag and country down by being the worst basecoach ever (according to his teammates) by sending a runner with 2 outs in an obvious suicide baserunning move. New Kicks came out on top, 2-0.

On the late game on field A we saw Tech USA - Where My Pitches At and Kick In A Box. Overheard on the Kick In A Box sideline, "We lost a few arguments and we lost again." Homeboy also said, "Don't call me homeboy" and "Don't kick the ball to me again, you'll be sorry" at which point everyone on Tech USA - WMPA kicked it to homeboy and they weren't sorry. The team with the rediculously long name won 4-1.

On Field B we saw Your Mom Makes a Dry Roast and Anything But Blue Balls. In this pastel color showdown, Anything But Blue Balls just couldn't continue their winning ways. Historically speaking, ABBB can be an excellent team but can be very inconsistent. This week they had lots of bad baserunning, lots of overthrows and generally sloppy play. Your Mom Makes a Dry Roast was victorious 7-1.

The Bull Gators and We've got the Run(s) took part in the Orange and Blue game and again this game had a similar outcome to the UF spring game with the Orange team on top. This game's greatest moment was when Dee kept running, running right past home plate to the cone before getting tagged out. Bull Gators won 8-1.

In one of the most fun games of the week, we had Raging Balls and I Already Hit That on field D. As has happened so often this season in games involving Raging Balls, bad math played a roll in the game, but this time it wasn't Raging Balls fault. Both Teams scored in the first. IAHT scored again in the 3rd when they had 2 runs cross home on one play. Raging Balls correctly scored the 2 runs but IAHT only marked down that they scored once on the play. In the top of the 5th inning the Ty Train came rolling around third at full steam to score, causing the Limeys to believe the score was tied 2-2, when it was really 3-2. When Raging Balls was lining up to congratulate the other team, I Already Hit That protested and said they still had their ups and a chance to break the 2-2 tie. Well Raging Balls didn't need to be told that twice and they quickly took the field hoping for a blank slate in the bottom half of the inning and convince the other team that it was a tie. Unfortunately I Already Hit That scored so either way the final score to the game was 3-2.
