Week 9 Recap

Week 9 was the last week of the season and some teams definitely looked poised for the playoffs. On the other hand, some other teams looked more poised for the bar (actually it looked like maybe they had been at the bar for hours before the games started). Lets get to the action.

Raging Balls took the field, determined to solidify their spot as the worst kickball team ever and they did nothing to disappoint. Vicious and Delicious tried to stall the beginning of the game so they could wait for their best players to show up until Raging Balls reminded them of who they were playing. V&D had only scored 14 runs all this season coming into the night but were able to put up a 9 spot against the environmentally conscious Raging Balls. Why environmentally conscious? Because Raging Balls did their best to get in touch with Mother Nature by tripping and hugging the ground on every play they could. This game was an absolute comedy of errors. How many errors? No one was able to count that high but at least 15. Vicious and Delicious won 9-0.

Speaking of blowouts, Field B's game wasn't much closer. Your Mom Makes a Dry Roast had some struggles at the beginning of the season but then all of a sudden one day remembered what it was like to play kickball as a kid and they just kept running, and running and running all over New Kicks On The Block. The Evil Empire lost 6-0.

Tech USA - Where My Pitches At and Anything But Blue Balls was a pretty interesting matchup. There was probably no other matchup this season that pitted two teams that were so evenly matched. The game didn't disappoint. This was a close one that went slightly in the favor of Tech USA - Where My Pitches At. Tech USA won 1-0.

Don't Touch Our Balls looked pretty confident coming into the night. They were faced off against the struggling We've Got The Runs. Unfortunately for DTOB, they were maybe a bit too confident. Rumor has it that a few key players were absent because they would rather play softball. Bad decision. Don't Touch Our Balls suffered a big upset at the hands of the blue team. We've Got The Runs won 10-0.

The Bull Gators continue to ready themselves for the playoffs and seem to be growing stronger each week. That's about all I've got on this one. Bull Gators beat the Balled and the Beautiful 5-1.

We learned something on Field B last night in the game between Kick In A Box and I Already Hit That. Costumes are cool but if you have a long, flowing costume, whatever you are wearing is an extension of your body. In one key play in the game, Erik was running the bases when Kick In A Box threw the ball at him to try to get him out. The ball missed him but clearly hit his bathrobe. That's an out folks. Kick In A Box put a whooping on I Already Hit That 7-1.

I didn't see the game between Quit Yer Pitchin and Ball Kickers but I sure as hell heard it. There was a whole lot of yelling and cheering going on over there. Apparently, all of that cheering was coming from the Quit Yer Pitchin sideline. They are clearly sharpening their teeth for the playoffs. Quit Yer Pitchin won 9-0.

In the game of the week, the Seminoles took on Suck My Kick. It was a close one but the Seminoles took it to clinch the regular season championship. Seminole player, Salty, said, "I knew after our first scrimmage that this team had something special, pure raw awesomeness". Wait what? First scrimmage? How often do they practice anyways? No wonder why they won so many games. Most teams just practice flip cup. Seminoles won 1-0.
