Week 2 Recaps

Playground Bullies: 5
Kick in a Box: 1

recap from the bullies:
we won?!? that's new!!

recap from Kick in a box
There was very little kick in all boxes this fateful Sunday, as KIAB was munted around by a bunch bullies in white t-shirts. In a game that lacked any real Sportscenter highlights, The Playgrounders grinded out a victory with a bunch of ground balls, dinks, dunks, and munts. Also included in the game were two gentlemen proud of their munting skills, none of which were wearing dark blue. KIAB took a 5-1 loss out on the field, but had one heck of a showing flipping out at the bar.
Co-Game MVP honors go out to Owen "It's Tindle not Tingle" Tindle and Meg "Bumble Bee" Schneider for starting their kickball careers with only one at foot each. Sorry for not getting you up more often (that's what she said).
Bar MVP Honors go out to Heather "When I pee it" Byrnes. She sucked real bad at flipping cups and took herself out of the line-up several times to regain her quasi-good composure. She composed enough to chug a car bomb. Well done.

Max Power: 3
Kickin Yer Balls: 1

recap from Max:
After the crushing defeat by the Ballin' Senators * (see note below), Max Power needed repair. So, we went to the same people the Million Dollar Man went to and got fixed up REAL nice. Kick Yer Balls thought they could hit us with some low blows but not with the new synthetic materials... in the brand new WAKA KICKBALLS. It was a great battle but the Green Monsters could not defeat Max Power. Everyone played excellent defense coupled with some great offense. Of note were POWERful singles by Jake, Abel, Sarah (2 of them), Adam, Michelle,and Pete. Seth doubled in the 3rd inning nearly breaking the sound barrier and then getting sent home with a home run by Captain Phil that was NOT called a dead ball EVEN though it bounced off of a Cirrus Cloud into fair play. Adam scored off of Pete's single in the 4th running so fast that he caught a gazelle on his way home (and then ate it once home). Kick Yer Balls playing great kickball but unable to stop the POWER.
I would like to welcome Tully who was drafted from Overseas from Kick Yer Balls whom I had the honor of pitching her the first official American kickball pitch. Welcome to Alcoholism Tully, I mean Kickball.

Once again I have attached an actual picture from the game somewhere below.

* It appears that even attaining super speed and super strength the Ballin' Senators were not given the ability to ref very well (Ohh, speaking of low blows. Sorry girls I had to. I still love ya though)

Cap'n Phil

Ballin Senators: 10
Flight of the Kickballs: 0

recap from F.o.t.K:
Flight of the Kickballs was narrowly defeated by the Ballin' Senators last Sunday in Cambridge. Perhaps defeated is not the right word, as no one felt that way. Spirits ran high, and the entire team agreed it would have won if it had had just a few more innings. Although the Senators staked themselves to a 3-0 lead, Kickballs' catcher Emily K booted 2 runners home in the bottom of the 4th to close the gap to 3-2. Unfortunately, this was the extent of the offense on Sunday, but this ragtag bunch of players, drinkers, and most importantly, dreamers, are itching to get back on the field and absolutely demolish their next opponent.

recap from the Seantors:
Just as Sir Edmund Hillary valiantly battled against the seemingly insurmountable odds, braving the cruel elements as he scaled and conquered Mount Everest, so too did the Ballin’ Sens weather the storm and emerge victorious in their game against Kickin Yer Balls. The snow-capped peaks of Mount Everest proved a formidable opponent to Hillary and his loyal Sherpa, Tenzing Norgay, yet he was still able to prevail, relying on brute force, cunning skill, and an iron will to succeed. While Kickin Yer Balls was a worthy adversary, in the end it was no match for the onslaught of homeruns, amazing defense, and Sherpa-like base running of the Ballin’ Sens who dominated 10-0. Their foe was buried in an avalanche of unstoppable pitches and uncatchable boots.

Tenzing Norgay Awards: for those Ballin’ Sens without whom the victory would have been impossible.

Max, Bill, Hydro for their endurance on the pitching mound. Sara M for lightning-fast running. Garrett and Melinda for losing their kickball virginity. Katey for unshakable nerves in the outfield.

Kickhopopotamus: 14
Surrender Your Booty: 6

recap from Kickhop:
Chalk up another victory for law and order over pilferage and skullduggery. Kickhopopotamus came out with a dominating display of offense. Big hits by Nick, Annemarie and Samantha, and some superb baserunning by Lauren B scored us 14 unmatchable runs. Despite some intense debate over the legality of certain pitching rules, cooler heads eventually prevailed. It is also important to note that JMO and Simon are still very much in love.
