Week 7 Recap

So you may have noticed that there were no predictions this week. There is a good reason for that. This weekend I was in Las Vegas for the Founders Cup. What is that you may be asking? Its kinda like the Kickball World Series. We had 72 teams come in from all over the country and the final game was between the Best Coast Ballers from San Francisco an The Others from Washington, DC. The Others won by the way but more on that tomorrow. Anyways, I came up with predictions but didn't have time to put them down. Ironically enough it turned out that my predictions were 100% accurate this week so the predictions and the recap would be exact, word for word. So lets get to the predictions/recaps, shall we.

Bull Gators took on Quit Yer Pitchin on Field A to start us off. I asked Courtney for details about the game but all she told me was that she was sad. Apparently there was lots of hugging and crying and carrying on on the Quit Yer Pitchin sideline after the game. Good for them that they have visions of Courtney's amazing bobble head running style to cheer them up. Bull Gators won 3-1.

Don't Touch Our Balls and Suck My Kick faced off in a heated battle. I guess Don't Touch Our Balls didn't know quite what to do after a loss because it's been a couple years or so since their last regular season loss when they didn't forfeit because most of the team had something better to do (as if there is anything better to do than kickball). There were a few friendly words shared after the game, followed up with threat of suspension from me so things settled down quite nice after that. Suck My Kick pulled off the upset and won 4-3.

Raging Balls and Tech USA played on Field C but if you want to see that recap you need to go to the live blog post, below.

The Seminoles took on We've Got The Runs on field D. We've Got The Runs was victorious... in scoring more than one run but they needed about 7 more or maybe 6 or maybe 5. There seemed to be quite a bit of debate over what the actual final score of the game was. Was it 8-2, 7-2 or 6-2, no one really seemed to know for sure but everyone had their own opinion of it. The Seminoles were ready to argue hard that they won 8-2. After being reminded that runs for doesn't affect the standings, only runs against, they replied, "But it makes us feel better about ourselves". So I guess the Seminoles can be helped a little with their apparent low self esteem since I recorded the final as 8-2 in the Seminole favor.

Ball Kickers and The Balled and The Beautiful faced off in a battle of the basement dwellers. Neither team wanted to be in 15th place. The Balled and The Beautiful just wanted it a little less and were able to distance themselves from the Ballkickers by winning 4-2.

Natalie, captain of Kick In A Box was probably disappointed that she missed this week as her team in Purple took on You Mom Makes a Dry Roast in Yellow. You see, Natalie went to LSU. Anyways, I don't really know much about this game since no one told me about it and I didn't see either team at the bar afterwards. What's up with that? Both team should take a forfeit for that but in any event Your Mom Makes a Dry Roast won, 4-3.

New Kicks On The Block and I Already Hit That faced off on Field C. In the last inning IAHT was down a run. They aren't used to scoring very often but they were able to put together a rally. They may have been helped by NKOTB's defensive alignment. Afraid of getting beat by the long ball they decided to play all of their players in the next time zone. IAHT was able to easily keep the ball on the ground and take advantage of the situation. Of course Mike has a different side to the story. He claims that NKOTB lost because he didn't wear his one sock this week. I Already Hit That won 4-3.

Anything But Blue Balls was able to solidify themselves as the most inconsistent team ever this week. There are days when they play like they have never seen a kickball and then there are days like in week 7 when they just dominate. Meanwhile Vicious and Delicious easily has one of the best defenses in the division. On the other hand, their offense has been their undiscovered Achilles heal. Unfortunately for VAD the arrow found the heal at the same time their defense finally let them down. Anything But Blue Balls won 5-0.
