Week 5 Recap

We are now officially half way through the season. For some of you, that might be exciting, for others it could be bringing sadness. Either way, it should be bringing you kickball. So lets get to the action for the week.

Quit Yer Pitchin and Raging Balls faced off in our early game on field A. The good news is that Raging Balls didn't have any apparent math errors, though regular errors, there were plenty of. Quit Yer Pitchin quickly threw up a seven spot in the top of the first inning. That's when things got ugly. The rest of the night was filled with molestation and sexual harassment. What?! Really! Ok so maybe not really but maybe. The alluring Megan of Raging Balls was minding her business just looking pretty as she has been known to do. Just then a player from Quit Yer Pitchin started rubbing up against her and rubbing her back and whispered in her ear, "Hey baby, you know, it's not whether you win or lose, its what you do back at my place after the game that counts". Megan turned around and kneed him in the groin and slapped him with a lawsuit. True story. No, really. Ok so maybe not really but maybe. Quit Yer Pitchin molested Raging Balls 9-1. Oh yeah, and Shaina wants everyone to know that she was safe at third.

The Bull Gators came into this season with a lot of promise but have not been as strong as they originally hoped. They are looking to regain some ground in the standings in the second week and they started on a good foot tonight by playing some stellar defense. They played like the Tampa Bay Bucaneers defense out there. No the old one. No not the really old one, like just a few years ago. Definitely not like the current one. The Bull Gators flexed their defensive muscle to a 2-0 win.

We've Got The Runs started off their game against Kick In A Box on the right foot. The first pitch of the game ended up being a home run. Its not because it was kicked deep though. Kick In A Box kept throwing the ball around and man in blue kept running. Now usually, We've Got The Runs stops at scoring just one run but they were somehow able to break tradition and score... wait for it... wait for it... a second run! Knowing that the game was close and they had to rely on their defense to shut Kick In A Box down in the 5th inning, WGTR played I WANNA ROCK on the PA system and brought in Billy Boswell, their closing pitcher, to seal the game. We've Got The Runs scored two but they only needed their customary one as they won 2-0.

Suck My Kick and New Kicks On The Block are two teams that are just waiting for one of the top teams to fall so they can have a chance to rise to the top echelon in the standings. Sleeves had a great game and Britton ran the show and led her team to victory. Suck My Kick topped New Kicks On The Block 4-1. Guys, rumor has it that Britton is married but could be single for the right guy. Or something like that. I don't really think I got the full story.

The result of the Seminoles and Your Mom Makes a Dry Roast game was settled pretty early. In fact it was settled before the first kick as Your Mom Makes a Dry Roast had only 2 girls show up so they had to take a forfeit. The two teams played for fun anyways but no one kept score. Ty reffed the game and Ty knows the rules so he was making calls that neither team had ever heard of (they are all in the rulebook, guys).
For instance, did you know that if you kick the ball in front of home plate or behind the rear cones, the ball is automatically foul but if you kicked the ball in the air and the defense catches it you are still out. Also, did you know that in a tag up situation, the baserunner can run as soon as the ball first touches a fielder and does not have to wait until the ball is caught if the ball is hit in the air or bobbled. The fun game was also ended on a good ref call by Courtney who called a baserunner out for leaving 2nd base before the ball was kicked.
Because Your Mom Makes a Dry Roast had to forfeit they lose -.75 points in the standings and results in an automatic 5-0 win for the Seminoles.

Don't Touch Our Balls needed a strong defensive performance against I Already Hit That after the Seminoles had their automatic 5-0 win if they wanted to stay at the top of the standings, since Runs against is the tie breaker in the standings after points, total wins, and head to head matchup. They got just that as their game was nothing out of the ordinary for them and they won 4-0.

Vicious and Delicious and BallKickers faced off in one of the worst color matchups of the week. Ballkickers took the field in the top of the 5th with a 1-0 lead. That's right folks. Ballkickers scored their first run of the season and were hoping to hold out for their first win. With 2 outs and runners on first and second Katy from Vicious and Delicious ripped a 2 run double to take the lead. They scored a couple of extra insurance runs and shut the Ballkickers down in the bottom of the inning. Vicious and Delicious stays tied for 3rd in the standings with a 4-1 win. By giving up only 4 runs to Raging Balls' 9, congratulations are in order for Ballkickers who were able to advance in the standings (sort of) despite their loss. Raging Balls and Ballkickers now share the worst runs against stat in the division.

The Balled and the Beautiful and Anything But Blue Balls has the late game on field D. That's about all I can tell you since no one gave me any details of what happened in the game. The Balled and the Beautiful won their first game of the season by winning 1-0. Now just close your eyes, feel the blood flowing through your veins, find your happy place, and imagine your own details for this game. Shame on The Balled and The Beautiful and Anything But Blue Balls for not giving me anything to write about.




What is Raging Balls best chance of not ending up in last place?
