Week 2 Recap

Week 2 is done. After 2 nights of play we are starting to see some interesting things shape up. It was a Mardis Gras theme but sorry guys, it was too cold for the girls to flash.

We started the night out with Suck My Kick taking on Don't Go Chasing Waterballs on field A. This game started off being pretty heated, in fact the hostilities just after the chug-off. Hostilities continued and I am told that despite the fact that Sleeves went 2 for 2 he was so fired up that he killed a hooker on his way to second base. He must have cleaned up the mess pretty well because there was no evidence by the time I got over there. The big issue in this game though was the reffing at home plate though its unclear who that actually was because in all of Suck My Kick's complaining about the home plate ref, their description of said referee did not match anyone who was at the game. Rumor has it that SMK pre-gamed with some absinthe and they were quite upset with the Green Fairy who was making bad calls behind home plate. The game ended in a 1-1 tie.

Field B had a better reffing situation as 99 Problems but a Pitch Ain't One took on I'd Kick That. 99 Problems led the charge with some aggressive baserunning, not to say that it was perfect. In the first inning they scored 2 while getting 2 out on a bizarre bases loaded play. In the 5th inning Will sort of kind of attempted to go to second on an overthrow at first base but then changed his mind half way there after he realized he's not nearly as fast as he looks and had to dive head first back into first base, by some miracle he was safe. So essentially he had to embarrass himself in order to avoid embarrassment. Good Show Will! 99 Problems But A Pitch Ain't One won 5-1.

On Field C we had Who's Got Asstastic Balls and Looking to Score. First of all, Looking To Score may have the best chugger ever. I'm trying to get video sent of his performance last night because its pretty fucking impressive. Remember Red from the Man Show? He's pretty close. Anyways things looked pretty bad for Who's Got Asstastic Balls when Looking to Score's Jillian did somersaults all the way from 1st to 2nd and was still able to make it to base safely. The real craziness came in the 5th inning. Let me explain the scenario, Who's Got Asstastic Balls was down but threatening to come back. With 2 outs they had runners on 2nd and 3rd with the Beast up (if you don't know the Beast yet, you will by the end of the season). The Beast kicks a little pop up between the pitcher and catcher. Rather than run to first, the Beast decided to charge the mound screaming, trying to intimidate the pitcher. It worked as the pitcher didn't make the catch, however the Beast was no way out of the baseline and was easily put out to end the game. Looking to Score won 5-2

At 8pm we saw the Seminoles and We've Got The Runs. The Seminoles beat up on someone again, what a surprise. It got so bad that We've Got The Runs no longer wanted to kick when it was their turn. Overheard on the Seminoles' sideline: "Once again, another team hates us". Seminoles won 10-0.

Lick My Wet Cleat faced off against We Like 'Em Young on field B. This game was pretty tightly contested but Lick My Wet Cleat was pretty confident. How confident you ask? Well confident enough that the lovely Megan decided to take a break halfway through the game to powder her nose just before it was her turn to kick. Everyone had to wait for her to return to resume the game. There was an odd incident in the late innings of the game as Lindsay was running to first base and completely wiped out on her way there, as if she had been picked off by that crazy sniper squirrel that has been known to roam throughout the trees surrounding the PAL fields. The good news is that Lindsay is ok. The bad news is that the crazy sniper squirrel is still at large. Lick My Wet Cleat won a close one 2-0.

Last but not least, Quit Yer Pitchin took on Cleats and Cleavage on Field C. There wasn't a whole lot that was bloggable about this game, other than John, our player profile from last week, decided to attempt to do himself bodily harm by completely unnecessarily dive, no flop, headfirst into home in the first inning. Quit Yer Pitchin, helped by their purple shirts, did represent the Mardi Gras theme very well and represented themselves on the field even better. Quit Yer Pitchin won 4-0.
