Westcoast Kickball League

Okay, here ya go!   This is the one area where I fall quite far behind the last commish, Sarah.  It will be impossible to match her wit with prose, but I know if I don’t try, I will hear about it from the faithful.  Someone else actually got off there butt and contributed a write-up, so they won’t all stink.  if you want to send me write-ups for your own game or others, please do!  I will not publish anything too derogatory towards others, but most anything else is acceptable.    

Overall it was 5 solid games on Saturday, another excellent start to a season.  There was some good skits, a competitive drink-off, solid competition, and zero whining about calls.  About the only criticism I will make is that it was a bit of a sausagefest out there for most the teams.  It’s a co-ed league guys, meaning two sexes on the field.  We have never had hard and fast rules about the number of any specific gender being on the fields in one game, but some teams are really pushing it.  It’s fun to play with girls, really fun! 

    The Happy Birthdays 3, the Pirates 2 -  (I forgot to write down the final score) Well it was tough to tell which team was brand new and which team was the oldest in the league.  The Pirates were a much different looking team out there.  Many of the “regular” Pirates were absent, and I hope we get to see them at some point this year.  I suspected that JT would have his new club , the Happy Birthdays, ready to go at seasons start.  Anyone that thought they might jump on this team early while they were still figuring this kickball thing out, think again.  They have some studs and JT’s got them looking liked seasoned ballers early on.

     WNDRFL 13, THE AVE RATS 9  - “muerto raton. muerto!” chants of die rat die started this game of ballkick. in the first inning team WNDRFL singed The Ave Rats w/ a 6-0 lead. passion, or the crazy hot sun had the luchadores “corazones en fuego”. by mid game the score became tension filled as The Ave Rats pulled themselves together and rallied back w/ a score of 8 leaving the luchadores sweating in places where capes and tights should never be…or go… but did. alas, Ave Rats just couldn’t compensate for initial blaze of WNDRFL that seemed to have been a flash…and both teams left wondering…what happened …why…y por que no? side notes: john of team WNDRFL got first blood for his team, not bud a.k.a vomito de gato a.k.a. this years commish. also, if you intend to play the Ave Rats, beware.. their players are tall…too tall and one even did the splits across first base..luring you in asking to bum a ciggi and then… well, you’ll see…

    Ball Deep 23, Varsity 4 - Ouch!  Easily the best skits of the day!  Ball Deep had a PA system and did a great job announcing their players and keeping them motivated all game with personalized theme songs.  Varsity’s dance team got everyone just a little worked up!  As for the game, well, Lindsay Baker once again answer’s the eternal question with an emphatic, oh yeah, it’s been brought!

    Jackass 4, Darkside 3 -Well the world truly got turn on it’s ear by this one.  Someone actually beat Jackass in a boat race to determine home field advantage.  It was a mildly shocking upset Darkside pulled out over the long standing party team.

    Space Tractor 8, Tha Tang 4 - Space Tractor went a long way towards claiming victory both on the field and in the increasingly important skit battles.  There tang pouring robot breasts was almost as dominating as there fearsome outfield.  They came in a close second last year for winning it all, and haven’t seemed to miss a beat with a solid victory to start his one.
