Breaker Week 2 Recap

We've now completed 2 weeks of the Breaker season and in case you haven't already noticed, this is going to be a pretty competitive season.

Our first game of the night in week 2 was between ~~Blast~~ Nuts to Bunts and the Guttersnipes*. We love ~~Blast~~ Nuts to Bunts, they are some of the most fun people in the league but they aren't one of the 6 teams that are likely to win the championship. In fact they may struggle to win a single game this season but who cares as long as they keep it up the fun at MacDintons. After the game I asked how they felt about it and they said, at least it was better than last week. Unfortunately that is factually inaccurate as they lost by more in week 2 than in week 1. In fact, with an inning still left to play they decided "eh fuck it, lets just go to the bar". They claim they will be praying to Tom Cruise before next week's game and hope that gives them some extra luck. Guttersnipes* won this one 10-0.

Next up on field 2 was 99 Problems taking on Asstastic Balls. Now this used to be a bit of a rivalry game but it has cooled off a bit the last couple of seasons. 99 Problems was pretty shaken from their late inning collapse last week so they tried to bring a little zen to their game. Its unclear if it was the incredibly motivational pre-game speech or the 120 jello shots that were consumed before game time but 99 Problems was definitely a more relaxed team this week and AB had a hard time getting anything going. 99 Problems took the win 5-0.

Starting out the late games was Sit on My Base and Cleats and Cleavage. This game had a TON of action. Gordon was pretty explosive on the mound and made the Sit on My Base kickers look silly all night. The real action happened in the last inning. Sit on my base was faced with a 4 run deficit and were mounting a rally. After closing the gap to 3 and bases loaded, Gordon locked in as Jado came to the plate dreaming of glory. Those dreams came to a quick end though as he was called out on a double kick. Now the double kick is sometimes a confusing call. That's probably at least partly because there is no one rule that defines it. According to WAKA Rules rule 13.02f states: a foul ball is: a kicked ball touched more than once or stopped in the kicking box by the kicker. Now that is all well and good but what if the kicker is outside of the kicking box? Well once they are outside of the kicking box they become a baserunner. According to rule 14.02d states: an out is a runner touched by the ball or who touches the ball at any time while not on base while the ball is in play. Now Jado may disagree where he actually was when the ball hit him the second time but the ref's call was that the second time the ball hit him he was outside of the kicking box and thus the game ended. Cleats and Cleavage emerged victorious 6-3.

Our last game of the night was a epic showdown between the Seminoles and the Barbara Ballters. These 2 teams always play hard against each other and this one was no dismantlement. Barbara Ballters did their best to impress the ladies once again but the ladies they like love to score and the just simply couldn't against the strong Seminoles defense. Of course the Barbara Ballters defense was pretty strong too. One player took advantage during the defensive showdown to flex his muscle and tell the ladies what's up because he knew that chicks dig the long ball. Colby was able to kick one deep for a solo shot for all of the scoring that the Seminoles needed in this one. Seminoles came out on top 1-0 and the ladies were impressed.
