Week 4 Recap

What an awesome week. We had some real excitement up and down the PAL Fields and I had a ton of people say interesting things that just have to make it to the blog this week. So here it is for your enjoyment.

At 7pm 99 Problems but a Pitch Ain't One took the field against Quit Yer Pitchin. This could maybe possibly be considered a rivalry game since whenever Quit Yer Pitchin plays whichever team Ty is on that season usually tends to be a good game but there isn't much continuity there. The big question for the night was whether Heide was going to be able to stay in her Pirate Wench costume. Heide suddenly realized during warmups that she may not have the support she needed to keep her boys in place. Luckily for her, they did. Perhaps unluckily for the rest of us. 99 Problems didn't have much problem scoring although they thought they should have had more. They thought they had identified a weakness in left field but were sorely mistaken as every ball kicked out there was easily hauled in. Down by 7 Runs in the last inning, QYP tried its best to mount a rally and Adam had a great play where he tagged up and scored from second base but it just wasn't enough. 99 Problems won 7-1.

Game 2 had Asstastic Balls vs We've Got The Runs. Despite the bright t-shirt colors which may be remeniscent of a Hawaiian shirt seen on Hawaii Five-0, I'm told this was actually a boring game. We've Got the Runs again had difficulty getting any. It was partially because of the outstanding defensive play of the beautiful Asstastic Balls girls. Keara made 3 catches of her own but the most impressive play came at the thighs of Angela. The ball was kicked to her and she bobbled it off of her fingertips to Kelly, who bobbled it off of her fingertips back to Angela who had ended up on the ground and she caught the ball between her legs in the fetal position. With all of the bobbling, Keara described the play as "a little bit of a handjob". Asstastic Balls won 3-0

The hot ticket game of the week had to be the showdown on field 3 between the Seminoles and Multiple Scorgasm. The Seminoles put up a quick 2 runs in the first inning but the Multiple Scorgasm defense was able to clamp down from there and eventually score 2 of their own. This game required an extra frame to settle and still ended up in a tie. The Seminoles did not look pleased as they walked off the field and there were no Seminole sightings at MacDinton's. The Seminoles' motto is win or go home so I guess they went home. What was the key to Multiple Scorgasms tough play? They claim is was Snuggie man who attending this game in his Zebra striped snuggie. He has been seen many times at the field in several different snuggies. Who knows how many he has or if it really helped but either way: Tie game 2-2.

Back to field 1, our late game had Baller I Hardly Know Her take on Balls and Dolls. This was a close contest. I jokingly said to Balls and Dolls team Captain, Jess that it looked like she had something on her ass (remember week 2?) and she replied, "If I do, I'm waiting until I get home to rub it off." That's what she said! Defense was mostly pretty solid in this one. I say mostly because there was one possible exception. The lovely Randi on Baller I Hardly Know Her had a pop fly kicked to her and had a rather unusual way of calling for the ball. "SHIIIIIIIT!". She clearly displayed great confidence in the field. With scoring coming at a premium in this game Angela showed some great baserunning aggression and was able to score from first base to bring home the game winning run. I asked Jessica how she felt about her team's loss this week. She claimed that she was proud of her team and that the little Asian had redeemed himself. She was clearly lying as I saw said little Asian make a couple of really bad plays so she's probably lying about being proud of her team too. Baller I Hardly Know Her player, Rabi Joel, had some interesting things to say about his triumphant return to kickball this season after a 2 season hiatus. He says that he returned to kickball because he found Yuengling in a can, making it possible to drink his favorite beer on the fields without bringing glass bottles which are definitely not allowed. Baller I Hardly Know her won 2-1.

Last but not least was an extremely exciting game between Masterbatters and Booze on First. This game had lots of great blog material. In the middle of the game, Booze on First Superstar, Rob had a great kick and was wheeling around the bases as fast as he could. So fast in fact that he missed second base and made it all the way to third before hearing people yell that he missed second. He ran back to second base then made it back to third before the Masterbatters could get him. He scored on the next play.

I had asked this beautiful young lady to the right, Jessica, if I could take a picture of her in her Pirate Hooker costume for the blog. Her reply was that I could but only if that meant that guys would masturbate to it. So... well... guys... have at it I guess. Make sure to tell Jessica what you did while looking at her photo next week at kickball. I'm sure that won't be awkward at all. She told me that she has been playing for 2 seasons and has never made it to first base. The next time she was up she got to first base safely, though it was short lived as her teammate was later thrown out at home plate on the play, trying to sneak in an extra base. Jessica immediately ran to her phone to text all of her friends that she had made it to first base safely. In the bottom of the 6th inning Booze on First had a 1 run lead but Masterbatters were able to get some runners on. On the last play of the game the Masterbatters scored 2 runs to clinch it. Justin scored the winning run of the game and immediately started mauling his teammates in an extremely enthusiastic celebratory display that possibly could have put the lives of his teammates in jeopardy. The team chant at the end of the game summed it all up, "Masterbatters come from behind!". Masterbatters won 2-1.
