Ball so Hard Week 6 (TC)

Ball so Hard showed some real grit this week.  Seriously several of them were covered in grit, grass and mud by the end of this game.  Despite balmy mid 50's weather, a soaked field and rain throughout the game Ball so Hard brought their A game.  Jon started the game off with a solo Home Run in the top of the 1st.  Ball so Hard's always solid defense showed through with Lana taking the mound and Jess making some big catches in Right and Center field (we had to cover a lot of turf with 8 players.)  Tom was able to strike with the second run in the 4th before we really kicked it big in the top of the 5th putting up 3 more to take the lead with runs from Tom, Jess and Krista.  Krista and Tina had some big catches in the field to go with Cleo's always dominant play at 1st.  With a one run lead Ball so Hard thought they had the game wrapped up with a 1 run lead through 5 however the time showed only 8:14.

Ball so Hard with their American attitude showed great sportsmanship and told Flipnado to bring on one more.  Jess put up one more run in the top of the 6th however we could not hold on in the bottom half as there was a near fatal collision at 3rd between Jon, Kevin and a Flipnadian(?).  Despite the one run loss, fun was had by all as we look forward to "We Mean Business" week.

Uncontrollable Runs Week 6 (TC)

What a horrible game last night. Absolutely embarrassing. The team that trotted out there last night looked like they didn't care at any point, and got kicked around the whole time. The coach needs to take a lot of the blame as well. The team was just not prepared. Hopefully next week Teddy Bridgewater can play, so they have a chance at winning.

In kickball news, the Runs also lost last night, 9-8. While up 7-6 as time expired, the team decided to play another inning because we barely got to play with a late start. Big time backfire. While up 8-6 with 2 outs and 2 men on, a blooper pop fly was sent to center. With no cleats and a few beers, the center fielder slipped, 3 run homer, game over. Every season a loss at some point is inevitable, better to get it out of the way before the playoffs, right?

The team was all around not prepared. The pitcher was in Chicago, the center fielder made up a fake story that his cell phone died (his girlfriend wasn't there) and just no-showed, the new pitcher was throwing beach balls, Home Run Chuck and Home Run Chick (Hannah) were both gone, the right fielder was showing off how well he could hold a beer while watching balls go over his head, and most importantly, nobody on the team had cleats, while the other team came well prepared.

In one bright note: Jackie is a Packers fan. So I guess she had an ok night.
