THEME WEEK
NEXT Wednesday (2/22) is Theme Week! Your only guideline for this season's theme week is that your team should dress up like something that starts with the letter S. I.e. Surfers, Soccer Players, Smurfs, Sailors, Scientists, etc.
Teams are responsible for taking a photo of their own team and posting to the league Facebook page. The winner will be selected by the # of "likes" each photo receives on Facebook AND by the board... and win a $100 bar tab at Busby's!

Balls So Hard
We had our chances in this one but I think their lil shortstop may be juicing along with Tebow! Dude threw out a few of our kickers from what seemed like the dugout (PED tests are pending). Our rookie 2nd baseman Shay-Z kept Ball So Hard from getting shelled late in the game with some stellar defensive plays and received MVP honors at the bar along with the prize of the most syrupy shot Busby's has to offer...a Lemonshot. Oh and the refs were stellar! So final score was 7-0...but mark my words, one day we will shock the world and score a run!
Freebase
Some of the other teams may be confused about our team name. Perhaps it alludes to some kind of drug related activities. Observing our first 2 games, one might be convinced of that, especially since we were missing our captain in game 2. On the other hand, the name could allude to a community of geeks that love open data, which might also explain our demonstrated athletic prowess thus far. Or maybe we're a group of rebellious youngsters trying to free our friend "Base" from jail, "Free Base! Free Base!!" The truth is we are still figuring all of this out and having a great time while we are at it. The fun factor playing these games is way better than any drug or jail related activity or even access to open data!
Probably the best fit for our name would be the one where we separate this compound bad boy into “free base”, as in give us one (or two or many)! I told the curve ball throwing pitcher from No Big Deal that he was welcome to walk me. It seems that he didn’t get into our team spirit like I did. The rest of game 2 is all a blur, like the Freebase team picture below.
All I can definitively say is that Freebase lost game 2, but it’s No Big Deal!
Jiminy Kick-It
GAME 2 HIGHLIGHTS:
--After JK had squeezed out maybe 2 hits all game through 3, in steps Michele "Babe" Ruth, who strokes a gorgeous single in her first ever at bat.
--Her hubby Aaron Fire, inspired by the play of his special lady, scatters 3 unearned runs over 5 Randy Johnson-esque (think1995 M's "Refuse to Lose" RJ) innings of dealing.
--Erupting Volcano of Ashley hauls in not one, but two deep pop flies in left to the cheers of thousands... er, make that tens... of screaming fans.
--"TJ Hooker" Thomas steps up to the dish in the 5th and nearly breaks his right leg trying to bash one out of the yard during a late JK comeback. That, folks, is the epitome of sacrificing oneself for the team. He overcame the injury later on in the evening as he managed to teach his "dope" captain about cool rap music, snag some Sour Apple Big League Chew, land a new girlfriend at Busby's, and then drive his manual car home left footed (Yes, those are listed in order of importance. No, none of those are exaggerated.)
--"That's My M.O." Michelle & "Lovely? You betcha!" Lindsay left the hotly contested showdown with One Kick Wonders early to buy injury repair supplies for their fallen comrade Tommy Gun. Repeat: That, folks, is the epitome of sacrificing oneself for the team.
--Omeed O My (listen to Clippers announcer Ralph Lawler for that one to make sense) came up with the bases juiced in the bottom of the 5th and knocked in a pair with a clutch single. And the kid can do mega, super and UBER-crowns (really?!) on his grateful patients at the Dentist's Office. 1-2 punch, ladies and gentlemen.
WE NEVER TEBOW VS KICKS MCGEE,
THE EPIC BATTLE
We Never Tebow started off behind 0-1 in the bottom of the first and then 0-2 by the bottom of the second due to some strong players from Kicks McGee. Things were NOT looking good. But we had no fear and rallied back. Ehams started us with a much needed catch which was GLORIOUS. Scott and Ryan caressed the ball down the third base line to load first and second bases. But then, our man of steel Luke kicked it outta the park for a home run edging us ahead 3-2 for the win!!! Our team captain Scott added some clutch pitching to the mix, Natalia was the boss on first base, and there were some strong kicks by Rachel, Michelle, and Danielle. Kicks McGee put up a valiant effort and were really fun to play against. But even more fun was Busby's afterwards. Super pink was in full force with crucial flip cupping skills, relay readiness, pong precision, and even better shit talking skills. Kicks McGee joined us for some awesome rounds of flip cup followed by.....um....well, we don't remember. Clearly it was a good night.
“TEAM”
We have gotten a lot of "huhs?" and "whats?" to our team name; "Team." Well the word team is defined as a group of people working together for a common goal or purpose. We figured no better description for our coming together than team. And since we work so well together we can safely say there is no "I" in team.
Also, screaming "GO TEAM!" is sublimely simple. Watch for us on the field, this "Team" is the shit!
Kinda Dominated Hara
Really Dominated Balls So Hard
Didn't Dominate the Bar :(
TRAMP STAMPS!
Whiskey Kick
You want details? You got details:
Whiskey Kick won a hard fought match against Ballin on a Budget 2-1. They’re good, we found the game both invigorating and exciting. We wish them the best of luck in the rest of the season. Now please give us some privacy, WE’RE WORKING ON OUR SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS AND THEY NEED TO BE READY FOR THE 2ND ANNUAL WHISKEY KICK LOVES SCIENCE DAY!
P.S. We play The Team this week. Their name is ominous, but we’re science ninjas so it doesn’t matter much.
