Week 8 Recap

This week's recap is being brought to you by the letter L (for late). I could give you an excuse as to why its late this week but as Anderson from Don't Touch OUr Balls was kind enough to point out. "Excuses are like assholes. Everyone's got one and they all stink." So that being said, lets get on with the recap before everyone forgets what happened.

Suck My Kick and Bull Gators was a fierce matchup. Jay from Bull Gators was pitching some nasty stuff out there but the real deciding point of the game came on what can best be described as a hate play at second in the second inning (or was it the third). Bull Gators had runners on first and second. The ball was kicked to deep shortstop/short left-center field. All the Suck My Kick player had to do was step on second to record the second out of the inning and then quickly look home to prevent the Bull Gators girl from scoring from third. Inexplicably, rather than simply step on second base, the Suck My Kick player (with rage in his eyes) decided to throw the ball as hard as he could as the sliding Bull Gators base runner. He got the runner out but he threw the ball so hard that it bounced off of him and went deep into the outfield and allowed not only the girl who started the play on second to score but also the kicker. Bull Gators won 5-2

The early game on Field B was described to be as the Gun Show as many of the Seminoles players decided to cut their sleeves off like big tough guys and show off the biceps. Apparently it worked because this defensive showdown resulted in a 2-1 Seminole Victory. With that win, the Seminoles are one step closer to being regular season champs as they have a whole point lead and a 2 RA advantage in the standings. Next week the Seminoles could potentially lose and still win the regular season as long as they don't give up more than 2 runs more than Don't Touch Our Balls (and don't forfeit).

The Ball Kickers started the season off without being able to score at all. Then one day they started putting some points on the board and came into this week's match-up with 7 runs scored on the season. This week they almost doubled that total thanks in part to some monstrous kicks. BallKickers were winded after running around the bases so much in this one as they won 6-3. Next week, Javier from We've Got The Runs will be wearing his lucky 0 and 7 uniform. I am not sure how that works though since they are actually 2 and 6.

I Already Hit That hates drinks. That's right, they hate drinks. How else do you explain their behavior this week. On two occasions they kicked the ball right into cups of adult sports beverages. On one instance, the I Already Hit That player was clearly disturbed by the ref on a different field holding a cup (I might have just been able to end the sentence after disturbed and it would have worked too). The foul ball was kicked directly at the ref on the other field and knocked his adult sports beverage into the air. Perhaps they should have been more concerned about the game than cups because they lost at the hands of Anything But Blue Balls by a score of 1-0.

New Kicks On The Block were without their secret weapon, Rachel, this week. No worries as I'm sure they found some way to cheat anyways. They are the Breaker Division's Evil Empire after-all. Actually New Kicks on The Block were able to take advantage of 2 home runs while meanwhile Tech USA - Where My Pitches At blame their performance on guys who kicked like girls. New Kicks On The Block won 3-2.

The Balled and the Beautiful were pretty cold this week. In fact, one of their players had a snuggie. Seriously, just because the commercials say you can wear it at a sporting event, doesn't mean that you should. Even though it was in the correct team color, the snuggie was obviously too much of a distraction for the maroon team as they fell to the hands of Don't Touch Our Balls 3-0.

The wheels are falling off of the bus for Vicious and Delicious. They started off the season looking like one of the teams to beat and clearly had the best defense in the league. Now they have lost 3 games in a row and have given up 8 runs total in their last 2 games. All of a sudden they went from a top tier team to being stuck in the middle of the standings. Kick in a Box won this one 3-1.

Last but not least we had Your Mom Makes a Dry Roast vs Raging Balls. Ok so maybe the least. Raging Balls has pretty much clinched last place in the division. They haven't won a game yet and give up 7 runs per game on average but at least they have fun doing it with lots of team posters and cheering. Basically the only chance of Raging Balls not ending up in last place this season will be if they win their game next week AND The Balled And The Beautiful forfeits in week 9. Your Mom Makes a Dry Roast won 4-1 this week.




Is the snuggie cool?
