Week 4

Week 4 is in the books, and this marks the sort-of-kind-of halfway point in the season. And what does that mean? Mid-season party time. As you may have read on Facebook or the post below, the theme will be Pajama Party, so dust of your onesies and rabbit slippers and show up for some awesome drink specials and fun.

Predictions for this Sunday
1. Even with the new box fan, the back room at Martin Mack's will be hotter and smellier than the factory that made the shoes you wear to kickball
2. Sleazy and Morningwood will play another best-out-of-30 flip-cup game while waiting for the other teams to show up
3. Someone will dress like they are sponsored by Adidas
4. Your historian will get drunk playing flip-cup. Really drunk. Cooter Brown drunk.

Now onto the recaps. Thanks for sending these in captains, it makes all of this hard work feel justified...

Stepdads
The Stepdads decided it was a good day for Turtle Soup and then they had some. The Turtles put up an inspired fight, led by their pitcher who may or may not hate everyone. We didn't let that phase us though. With good, strategic ball kicking and great defense from the whole team, we only let two runs score. Mostly though, our heads were already focusing on the Russians the following Sunday. The blood feud that rivals the Hatfields and McCoys will take center stage as the Stepdads, once again, put the beatdown on some drunk, commie Russians that still think they're at recess. The Russians will tremble when the Stepdads come out onto the field and live up to our abusive, alcoholic name. WE WILL BURY THEM!!

Morningwood
Well it was a beautiful day out there this past Sunday and it was time for another round of the longest running grudge match in Vertigo. Once again Morningwood was set to take on its arch nemesis Sleazy Bandeezy. Things started out tight with some solid defense on both sides of the ball. Eventually though Morningwood was able to put across 4 runs in the third which along with solid pitching from this week's MVP Kenny was more than enough to earn the victory. We are itching to get back out there keep the win streak growing with a match against the new Kicktators

White Russians at Recess
SF Ninjas played a good game. Pretty un-happy about losing, but we had some really great catches from Alex M. and Elizabeth B. and myself (it had spin on it!!) -- it was a beautiful day for kickball, and we had fun drinking champagne and 40s later that day at Dolores. We'll be ready in the tournament Ninjas, just you wait. Stepdads, don't think we've lost our touch--we're still coming after you! WOOT!

Where My Pitches At?
Well the Pitches are new to the league, and the first time they met each other/played kickball they tied the lowly Turtles. After that joke of a game, the Pitches forgot they were in the league. They summarily tied again the next week. The following week, after figuring out the exact right amount of booze to drink before the game, the Pitches took down Big Blue 4-3, in a game that shouldn't have been that close. Really liking that score, they decided to let [whoever we played last week] think they had a chance, and won 4-3 again. So just to recap: the Pitches, who know nothing about this sport and were maligned at the first game as "wanna be frat boys", who would rather slap their own mothers than see a guy bunt, who straight requested the pink shirts, are now undefeated and threatening the washed up, faded hierarchy that seems to be gripping this league. Viva la revolucion. Viva la pink.

Sleazy
Sleazybandeazy was ready for a little Morningwood action and we came ready to rock. We played an awesome game that was tied 0-0 until the 4th inning where Morningwood had scored 4 runs due to a couple errors on our part, but we didn't let that bring us down as we got ready for the real reason we all come - flip cup. As usual Sleazy owned the table showing Morningwood that just because one of their players has a killer kick, they really aren't that great.

We look forward to some revenge in playoffs.
