Let It Rock! 

Good games last week everyone, we had an upset and the division’s first encounter with the new tie break rule. So if you were not part of the game and didn’t see it, the new rule will be explained to everyone before the games this week.

Other than that, I don’t think much more has to be said.  Y’all have a good one and see y’all at the fields. 

Quote of the week 

“Your uncle molests collies.” I need the actor/actress, characters name and yes, the movie.

 

Email Ryan rjlogue@gmail.com with the answer.

 

 

CHARITY – PAWMATCH

Ballers,

Paws Shelter & Humane Society of Kyle (http://pawsshelter.org) is unique in that we rescue cats and dogs—of all breeds and ages—from shelters throughout central Texas, as a part of our Shelter Partnership Program, and present them for adoption in highly trafficked public locations.

Here’s how you can help:

Animal Care

Gift certificates to Walmart, PetsMart, Petco, Bark-N-Purr, and Target, Kitten Milk Replacement (KMR) or Puppy Milk Replacement, Canned cat, kitten, dog, and puppy food, Towels (small to large), Blankets (no electric blankets), Non-clumping cat litter, Scratching posts, Collars/leashes, Dog and cat beds (washable), Crates (all sizes), Litter pans (stainless steel, found at Acemart)

Medical Needs

Heating pads, Cotton balls, Q-Tips, Alcohol, K-Y Jelly, Anti-fungal cream, Digital thermometer, Human baby food—meat-only varieties (beef, lamb, chicken)

Cleaning Supplies

Rubber gloves, Laundry detergent (liquid or dry), Bleach, Antibacterial liquid hand soap, Liquid Dishwashing soap, Industrial mops, Commercial mop buckets, Dust pans and brooms, Paper towels

Administrative and General Shelter Needs

Digital cameras (5 megapixels or greater) with software, All office supplies/equipment, Printer and copier paper, Laminating supplies, Copier supplies (Konica 7155), Dry-erase boards/markers, Permanent markers, Paper (all colors). 

I am asking for these donations because this shelter has many animals and not enough supplies, and it is getting cold.

Some of the shelters they receive animals from include Austin, San Antonio, as well as many small towns from here to there. “We also take in pets from owner surrenders. Each animal receives a medical exam and is spayed/neutered, prior to being offered for adoption. Paws Shelter of Kyle provides a nurturing and a safe environment for all animals at our facility. This program has helped dramatically reduce euthanasia rates for the participating rural shelters.” 

When you donate these items, you get the satisfaction of knowing an animal will stay warm or get the attention it needs.  Also, when you donate gift certificates or cash you get an opportunity to write this donation off of your taxes.  Who wants to pay taxes? 

You can bring your donations to the kickball game on Thursday.  I will pick them up from you and make sure they go to the correct location.

Thank you for donating. 

Sincerely,

 Mid-Season Party

 

By Jenny B.

Thanks to everyone who came to the chilly Mid-Season Party! Beer and quesadillas always taste better when they’re free! There wasn’t any Flip Cup to speak of, but I think everyone had a good time mingling with their frienemies and teammates. Thanks to the powers that be that put it on and their hardwaork to make sure everyone had a good time.

LIVE Game of the Week

Pro Alkies vs. Sofa Kings

They are close in stats, this will be a tough game for both.  The Sofa’s got the kicks but the Pro’s can sneak by with runs, if you’ve have errors.

Pro 2 - Sofa 3

Fun Game of the Week

Tourettes vs. Kids In Rehab

 Tourettes 1 Kids 5

This team has players that have been friends, teammates and creating new friendships on the way.  It should be a great and fun game!

LIVE POWER POLLS

1.    Walk of ShameThey took the Kids but only for one night.  Smack talk can’t work in their favor every week.

2.    Kids In RehabIs this how it feels to do the walk of shame?  Had an off night against Walks but you gotta let someone else be on top for a second.

3.    Pro AlkiesThey are quiet on and off the field but slowly creeping up.  Do they really live up to their name?

4.    Sofa KingsSo not we todd it.  Watch out!

5.    TourettesWOW!  They almost &*^%$+ won against Pro Alkies!

6.    Soul TrainDid their train get derailed somewhere off Mopac?  Can they pull off another W this season?

 

FLIP CUP

Greetings Flip-cuppers,

 

This past week was awesome! We had a great turn out and I think everyone has the program pretty much down. Thanks to all of you for being ready with beer by the time you are up. It makes a big difference in keeping things moving and I really appreciate it. That said, Not Sorry for Partying and Rockin your Balls… Who are you? I am pretty confident that you have never participated and that is lame. Called out. Everyone else, I like your style. Here are the stats:

 

Soul Train – 3 vs.Sofa Kings – 1

 

Kids in Rehab – 2 vs. Relax and let it Happen – 3

 

Tourettes – 3 vs. Walk of Shame – 0

 

Exhibition Game:

Smoking Bunts – 2 vs. Relax and let it Happen – 3

 

Game of the week has to be the exhibition game. Things got heated, words were exchanged, but at the end of the day, Relax pulled it out. MVP’s are Lindsay and Carrie who, with a single flip-off tie breaker, drank like 7 times in a row.

 

I am sure this has already been addressed, but PLEASE PLEASE bring blankets, towels, medical supplies etc for the baby dogs. It is this week’s charity and who can say no to puppies?!

 

See y’all Thursday!

 

~ Danielle

Relax & Let It Happen

By Mark Meroney

 

There is no lack of drama or intensity in this kickball league.  It could be due to the familiarity all the teams have with eachother since we play eachother over and over again.  After some last at-bat heroics/comedy of errors the game ended in a tie which called for the tiebreaker scenario none of us had ever played before.  “Not Sorry for Partying” played a hell of a game but we had a big last inning in the overtime period and ultimately walked away still undefeated.  There was some serious trash talking going on and hopefully everyone could take it all with a grain of salt.  Cameron did a remarkable job of tolerating Jay’s call begging but that is just how it goes behind the plate when the pitcher is drinking a bucket of vodka and gatorade.  We finally made a return to Jovita’s and continued our team’s reign of complete dominance in flip-cup.  Team after team challenged our group, led by self-proclaimed MVP Lindsay Clarke( a fair assessment), and one by one they were all demoralized by the feathery soft touch of our cup flippers.  Finally, I’d like to offer my deepest apologies to my teammates for miscalculating how much beer we had, I failed to account for how drastic the impact of having an extra hour to play beer pong at the house would be to our beer supply, lesson learned.

Kids In Rehab

By David “Steve” Duchovny

 

OK, Rehab is human.  We got outperformed by a lucky Walk of Shame.  We just couldn’t break through their defense.  Well, never say that hell can’t freeze over.  Good job to Walk of Shame.  I guess all that smack talking works.  We’ll see you in the playoffs!!!!

 

Congratulations to Kim and Jason on their engagement.  Can anyone say Kickball game at the reception? 

img_65591

 

Rebuttal from the editor to Walk of Shame’s false information in last week’s write up.  If there is going to be smack talk, at least get it right!  J

They’re the two time defending champs. 3 time defending champs.  They’re older than us (much older than us we have a few years on you but it’s not nice to call your elders out.  We also have some youngies on our team so shhhh!). The president is their captain. The captain is Nicole Dube, the president is on our roster.  They’ve beaten a team from Capital for crying out loud. Oh one fact right!  They’ve even beaten us. (With half of our guys missing in a game that didn’t really count…excuses, excuses.) They think they’re the shit.  Um I don’t think so.  I think you might need to check yo’self.   

 

 

Walk of Shame

By Andre Rodgers

 

Wow, wow, and wow. The Walks aka “the red-headed stepchild” pulled off the shocker! Put your fingers down, not that shocker. We actually got the victory over the juggernaut that is Rehab. This team took it to us the first time we played them, so it was only fitting that we return the favor with the same final score, 3-0. Thankfully I didn’t have to pull my foot out of my mouth. In the grand scheme, the game was only a regular season and didn’t mean anything. However, the intensity was there as if it was a playoff game. There were members of Soul Train (reffed), Pro Alkies, and Tourettes all gathering to watch. Win or lose it was easily the most fun game anyone on our team as been a part of. Hooray!!!

In all seriousness though, Rehab is an awesome team with really, really nice players.We really don’t want to see them in the playoffs, so please someone take them out! Congrats to the newlyweds over there, and thanks Carrie for offering and letting me taste the cupcakes. It tasted amazing.

 

The victory was a team one, hardly any mistakes made at all by anyone. But one player in particular probably saved the game for us, making her our MVP of the week. Ladies and gentlemen, Kim(bo) “Slice” Rodriguez. The opposing team had a game plan to exploit what could have been an “opening” in the outfield. What they didn’t know is that Kim, well she’s a monster. Seriously. She eats, er, catches balls. That was amazing. Keep it up, lady.

 

About flip cup. We actually lost fair and square. Can’t blame anyone or anything, we guess. Well maybe we can blame it on our stomachs not being equipped to handle anything after hearing one of the most disgusting stories of our lives from Raul. (More on that in a second..)Tourettes for some reason truly believes that their flip cup beat down the week prior at our hands didn’t count? On the contrary, my friends. You got that ass kicked. Everyone saw it. Adjust your record to acknowledge that the Walks dominated you that day. :) Why is it that everytime there is controversy involving Walk of Shame, Tourettes is somehow in the picture? Oh and by the way….guess what team Raul plays for? Investigate please.

 

This week we get Soul Train. They’re really good people and funny. The game this week should be fun. We requested the services of of Corey and he decided it’d be more fun to ride the Train. Seriously? You’d look better in forest green. Besides, who’d better know about soul than us? For your blatant lack of loyalty to the cause, we are forced to thrash you and your team on the kickball field come Thursday. Blame it on Corey. See you guys out there.

 

 

Tourettes

By Cameron Kushwara

 

New and Improved!  Tourettes is back and better than ever.  Namely, we didn’t f@#$%@g lose!!!  That’s right, we snatched a tie from the jaws of victory!  Individual kudos go out to Drew for his rightfield/homeplate doubleplay.  Whitney pitched a hell of a game and made every play that was anywhere near her.  Honorable mention for Jen Hayes who almost had the game winning kick and Jen Bryant for not being there.  And the team we’re playing this week lost, so clearly we have the momentum and will win.  It’s really not even worth taking the field for, we should just head to the bar and continue our undefeated Flip Cup season.

 

F!@k, S#$t, Ralph!

  1. The body parts section was gross. I must say, the camera work this week was excellent. Amazing even. What I’d like to see if a full feature on that adorable dog. Lets make it happen…. Or I’ll talk trash about WAKA on yelp.
