Season Recap

            Congratulations to Rum Riot, your Fall kickball champions! It has already been 2 months since kickball ended... How is everyone's productivity on Friday mornings now? I only get hangovers when I don't drink so mine have been terrible, thanks. I was extremely impressed with the End of Season party for Fall. It's been quite awhile since we've had that kind of showing and we actually tapped those kegs quick. Well dones go to Kathy for all the work she put in, Mac for his hosting, and Lawson for providing wings. Thanks to Binga's for not throwing me out for beating people with balloons (sorry for jagerbombing). I figured I would do an end of season wrap up and show everyone how terrible I am at forecasting the season. I made some preseason predictions wayyy back in August when it was 80 degrees warmer. I'll let you enjoy how bad I did. Also, I gave each team grades for the season. This may seem like a long read, but I'm just copy/pasting most of this

PLAYOFFS Part 2

Here we are, the last night of kickball. Weather.com says it’s going to be chilly with a 50% chance of rain. Slippery kickballs on turf make for high scoring kickball so ditch the kids and come down to Fitzy to get your last taste of WAKA for 6 months. Last week we saw T2R end their season and bust my bracket in the top of the 1st inning. MDC almost pulling off a perfect game that wouldn’t have counted because they forfeited, and perhaps the game of the season that we’ll see the conclusion of tonight. Before I get to tonight’s predictions, let’s remind whoever may be reffing at any point tonight a couple key rules that came into play last week. I’ll highlight the important parts. 10.10 When a base is displaced during play, any runner is safe while in contact with the base's original and correct location . All displaced bases should be restored at the end of each play (see Rule 1.01b) 10.07 Base Running on Overthrows; a. an overthrow is a ball thrown, kicked, or deflected

Lighthouse Semi's/Championship Preview

With the Red Sox only a couple hours away, apologies in advance for the short introduction and write-up. We are busy converting our vehicles into duck boats for the pending riots in Boston. We hope you enjoy the last GSPOT of the season, and thank you all for reading. Onto the predictions! We Only Come From Behind vs. Prepare Uranus: Well here it is. Win and you get an opportunity to play for the gold ball, lose and you get to ref the game that you could have been a part of. We're not sure if Prepare Uranus was actually preparing their butts for We Only Come From Behind or if they were stating that the other team should prepare theirs, but regardless, here they are. It was a tale of two seasons for these two teams, as WOCFB marched through the regular season with an impressive record, and PU limped its way into the playoffs. Defense wins championships, and unfortunately for WOCFB, they will be playing without their starting pitcher. Time will tell if they will be able to rally arou

PLAYOFFS!

Time for the moment everyone on Muff N Men has been waiting for! The great playoff preview! Granted the regular season isn’t over yet because our commish was scared to start the season on time, let’s just all assume that Fall-Tea Balls win their warm up game against MDC. If that doesn’t happen, then all that will be affected this week is 2 games, so pretty much half of this write up is contingent upon that game. So, Muff N Men locked up the BCS title and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. MDC finally got their first win by suckering TC into a kick away game. TC completed their collapse that started week 4 with a blowout loss and a forfeit. PW is limping into the playoffs and I can’t remember anything else because I’ve been in Vegas for the last 5 days and can barely remember yesterday. Here are the playoff rankings and odds of winning. To place any wagers, see Stevey, he’ll be the one with the shorts that hang down to his ankles. Playoff Power Rankings #8. The Closer

Lighthouse Week 1 Playoff Predictions

By now your team's Captain has lost approximately 12 full hours of sleep debating on line-ups and position locks. Your significant other is to the point of an end-all fight as you have not spoken about anything other than kickball since 12:00am Monday morning (especially if you both play on the same team). Your friend circle has collapsed inward on itself and now consists of the 15-something people that will don the same WAKA colored jersey as you on Thursday night.... and if all three of these things don't apply to you at this very moment, you clearly have not properly prepared yourself for..... kickball playoffs. One make-up game this week, in which we have WOCFB destroying WFI and killing all their momentum going into their first playoff game, 8-0. Now on to the important stuff. SD vs PU: What a match-up. These two teams battled all season long for the #4 and #5 seeds, and now meet for the third time, however, this time they're playing for keeps. In the first matchup, th

Week 6 Superhero

Be warned, I’m writing this about 20 minutes before the Red Sox game so don’t expect much! Not even sure why I’m bothering to write this because we all know there won’t be kickball tomorrow (Thanks Scott). Congratulations to Ryan Houghton for being the first person in who knows how long to be thrown out of a game last week. Just to point out something to everyone to show how stupid T2R was acting last week. They have the most seasons played in the league. They have 2 former commissioners. Yet somehow none of them know this rule: 1.04 Any player or Referee wholly or partly in fair territory is an extension of fair territory. Any live base runner outside the kicking box is fair, even when wholly in foul territory. A player jumping from fair territory is in fair territory while in the air. A player in foul territory does not extend foul territory by jumping or reaching into fair territory. You may want to educate yourself before you go dumping beers on refs. Speaking of complainin
