Cleats and Cleavage took on the Seminoles. Easy win for the Seminoles right? Not so fast. The Seminoles, normally a run scoring machine, were shut down, 1-2-3 in the first inning. It was the worst inning the Seminoles ever had and it set the tone for the whole game. The game only took 30 minutes to complete and after the game the Seminoles played the role of gracious losers by congratulating Cleats and Cleavage for beating their "B" squad. In the words of Donald Rumsfeld, "“You play kickball with the team you have, not the team you might want or wish to have at a later time.” Overheard on the Seminoles sideline after the game, "That was f***ing embarrassing." Yes, yes it was. Cleats and Cleavage won 3-1.Suck My Kick and Looking to score faced off on Field B. When I asked how this game, Looking to Score claimed that it was a tie, technically. When I asked what that meant, they said that they won the chugg off but Suck My Kick won the game. Unfortunately, it doesn't really work like that. There were 2 things to note from the game. Number one, the refs weren't paying much attention as they were distracted by the Seminole's loss on the next field over. The second, Kim on Looking to Score was accidentally tripped at first base. She landed on her boob and claimed that it burst and then got felt up by everyone after she got up, trying to help her out. By the way guys, according to Kim, they are real. Suck My Kick won 5-0.
Lick My Wet Cleat and 99 Problems but a Pitch Ain't One were poised to face off in an epic showdown on field C. This was a pretty intense matchup, not just because both teams are pretty good this season, but because 99 Problem's guys were pretty nervous about the game. Here is the back story: Once upon last season, there was this team, and they were bad. They were called
Raging Balls and they lost every game in grand fashion. They were pretty much the worst kickball team to ever step foot on a kickball field but they were at least a really cool group of very sexy people. After last season was over, the team went 4 different ways. Some players never came back, only to fade into obscurity. A few players went on to join I'd Kick That. A pretty good sized group went on to help create 99 Problems But a Pitch Ain't One and my favorite threesome in kickball (the trio of Jeni, Kacie and Megan) joined Lick My Wet Cleat. Beautiful as they may be, the trio is notorious for their trash talking so even though 99 Problem's guys were confident they could win, they were scared to death of the possibility of losing since they would probably never hear the end of it. Crisis averted, partially thanks to Natalie who had her best game ever. In 5 seasons she had never caught a ball but was able to make a great catch in a key moment of the game. 99 Problems but a Pitch Ain't One won 3-1.
The late game on Field A saw Who's Got Asstastic Balls and We've Got The Runs. This game was pretty intense and took 7 innings to settle. We've Got The Runs showed up expecting a win since WGAB hadn't won a game all season. What they didn't expect was that week 6 was the first week for the Three Horsemen. Who are they 3 Horsemen? Well they are crazy. Basically these guys go around the country and join random kickball teams and piss excellence wherever they choose to go. They were all over the place and now WGAB expects themselves to be a playoff favorite. Erik better hope that the 3 Horsemen don't decide to piss their excellence elsewhere before the playoffs arrive. At the bar their intensity continued when Horseman #2 did a great Vanilla Ice performance for Karaoke. Who's Got Asstastic Balls won 2-1 after 7 innings.We Like Em Young played Quit Yer Pitchin. What happened in this game? Well according to Quit Yer Pitchin the refs were a bit confused and couldn't make up their mind about calls. They kept on overruling each other. What they finally ended up deciding on was that Quit Yer Pitchin lost. We Like Em Young won 2 to 1.
Last but not least we had Id Kick That and Don't Go Chasing Waterballs. Things started off with a bang for Id Kick That as they were able to put up a 3 spot in the first inning. In the 4th the boys and girls in navy blue (mostly the boys) decided to start running into each other and allowing 3 runs to score. On an interesting play, Don't Go Chasing Waterballs sent a runner home from third. Id Kick That's pitcher threw the ball and tried to get the runner out by throwing the ball through his own catcher. That strategy didn't really work too well. After 5 innings the score was tied. With plenty of time left the teams decided to play another inning and decided that if the score was still tied after that inning then they would play another inning using Kansas City Rules*. I was pretty excited to watch Kansas City rules but unfortunately Id Kick That scored on a great play in the bottom of the 6th with 2 outs. Luckily the teams decided to play an extra inning Kansas City style anyways just for fun. Id Kick That won 4-3.
*Kansas City Rules: Rules that are used in extra innings in tournament play according to the WAKA Division Tournament Guidelines.
In the event of a tie score after 5 innings, extra full innings shall commence until a winner is determined or
until the allotted time expires. Each extra inning should be played with these modifications:
· Place the last kicker (1) from the previous inning on second base
· Only 8 players on the field for the defense – 4 of each sex
· All kickers start with an unmodified count (0 balls, 0 strikes, 0 fouls)

Suck My Kick won 6-0 not 5-0
That was such a good picture of us. We have to do another one this season. I am so glad we won though. I know we would NEVER hear the end of it from Jeni.
