Week 2 Recap

What an exciting week we had in week 2. There was plenty of intense kickball, questionable refereeing and lots of fun had by all.

Our first game of the night had 99 Problems and Asstastic Balls on Field 1 at 7pm. Conspiracy theorists are going crazy over this one. Over the summer, Derek played for Asstastic Balls. This season he is on 99 Problems, or so we thought. In the first inning Derek dropped an easy pop fly that helped Asstastic Balls mount a 6 run first inning. 99 Problems battled back hard but their team, including rookies who had to wear adult diapers during the game, just didn't have enough to recoup from their first inning woes. Asstastic Balls won 7-5.

Field 2 saw Balls and Dolls take on Booze on First. Gordon was definitely the player of the game in this one. I was told that he and John made every defensive play in the field and he also kicked a decisive homerun. That was far from the most exciting moment of the game, however. At some point, Balls and Dolls team captain, Jessica, claimed that she had something on her shorts. Her teammate was more than willing to help her out by rubbing her butt, over and over again. It is unclear if this bizarre, semi-erotic scene was enough of a distraction to be the tipping point in the game. Balls and Dolls won 3-1.

Our last early game was a showdown on field 3 as the Masterbatters tried to take down the Seminoles. Things started off well for the navy team as they were able to mount a 4-1 lead early in the game. Things came apart though in the 4th inning. The Seminoles had the bases loaded but 2 outs. Sultenfuss kicked what many Masterbatters described as the best kick they have ever seen in kickball and was able to get the ball past the tree line for a grand slam. The Masterbatters' team cheer at the end of the night pretty much summed it up. "We only lose when we beat ourselves!". Seminoles won 6-4

Quit Yer Pitchin and Multiple Scorgasm took to field 1 in the late game. For those of you who are new to the division, here is a bit of a hint. Pablo, from Asstastic Balls, is not a bad ref, but for whatever reason he is a magnet for bizarre and unusual plays to happen at whatever base he is reffing. There has never been so many close plays at second base as there were tonight with baserunners running past the base and collision resulting in tagging the baserunner out while she was trying to help the defender up. Pablo is simply a lightning rod for strange happenings. If he is reffing your game, pay attention to whichever base he is assigned. There is sure to be plenty of action at that base during the game. In any event, Quit Yer Pitchin won 3-1.

Our last game of the night was between Baller I Hardly Know Her and We've Got The Runs. Despite their name, We've Got The Runs consistently has problems is getting very many runs. In the past they have half joked about changing their name to We've Got the Run or We've Got No Runs. Their MO held true this week. When asked about the game, Baller I Hardly Know Her described the game as "Pure Domination, a plucky little team going against true champions. We hardly knew them." Their post game victory speech included, "We had our shit together! This is what we should do always. We should win all the time!" That sounds like an awful lot of confidence from a team that lost their week 1 match up. We will see how they continue. Baller I Hardly Know Her won 5-1
