Rain, Refs and Kickball, OH MY!

Mmmmm... Jello-beans.

Your Team Sucks finally found a scoring groove in the second week. We got our first run, and just kept going. Unfortunately it only lasted an inning.

The team instituted a new incentive program this week and for that one inning it worked very very ell. Jell-o beans. To encourage our members to get on base we had the first base coach keep a bowl of Bacardi laced Jell-o beans at the ready. The plan worked well for that first inning!

In a stunning display of offense we never knew we had, Your Team Sucks put up 6 runs to open our match versus the not so Sexy Ball Kickers. The Jell-o bean bowl saw kicker after kicker dig in and the runs just kept piling up.

Offense wasn't the only thing we found. We played some great defense for four of the innings. The team racked up TWO count em, One, TWO double plays and had about as many great catches as we had jell-o shots!

Unfortunately, our solid defense took a one inning vacation (along with some apparently "nitpicky" rules) and we somehow gave up 8 runs. For that one inning, we definitely wanted clarification on what makes a professional kickballer!

Maybe the fact that it started pouring out dampened our spirits or something.

One amazing turnaround of the game was the play of Seppie. He commited no errors and, in the play of the game, made an amazing slide into home plate. On his way from 3rd to home the ball was thrown to third and what looked to be a certain out by the not so Sexy Ball Kickers. The third baseman threw the ball and just as it was about to hit Seppie, he dropped to the ground and slid home safe while the ball sailed right over him. We'll take back that Big-E award Seppie! This week he gets the KY Slick Move award!

The Big-E goes to the refs. Way to keep count of how many girls they had on the field. Just be glad drinking was a higher priority than complaining!

After the game, Your Team Sucks found what they are really good at: Flip Cup. We eschewed the traditional shot of beer in the cup for mixed drinks of rum and whiskey and showed where your teams really do suck. In an incredible show of drinking prowess, Your Team Suck members drank away their loss with some Flip Cup Domination!

Yes, it's true. Our drinking team does have a Kickball problem.

Stats:
Kickball Wins: 0
Kickball Losses: 0 (drank them away)
Jell-o Beans consumed: 153
Flip Cup Games Dominated: 27
Plan for next week: Jell-o shots on first AND third.

The Beginning!

It came and went. Week one of the WAKA Summer Kickball League - Twin Cities Division is in the books.

In this first epic battle, the bad-ass in black team of Your Team Sucks faced The Angels formerly known as The Godless Whores. It was a David and Goliath match-up, but this time Goliath pulled one out.

The match started with a hefty dose of trash talking, and lots of Jell-o beans and shots. Unfortunately for poor Your Team Sucks the jello shots were not enough to slow The Whores down.

After the first inning it was a close 1-0 with The Whores scoring on a couple of singles and a good deep kick. In the second The Whores found the weak link in the outfield. Seppie, putting the suck in Your Team Sucks, managed to eke out two errors in one single play. He ended the game with 4 big fat E's to his credit.



After that it was all downhill for Your Team Sucks with a final score of 8-0.

We will definitely be bringing more jello shots next week. I think we need to ensure the other team is drunk. That should level the playing field.
