3 Week 5 Game Recaps: Lawson Loses Again in RPS Two of the wittier team names battled at Pickle Park on this past Thursday. Off Constantly lost the Paper Scissor Rock Showdown yet again to bring Tim's record to a whopping 2-17 in his career. Fortunately it didn't slow us down on the basepaths as aggressive baserunning was the name of the game again. Off Constantly was able to beat That's What She Said 6-2 to improve to 5-1 on the season. It was a good game all around and there were some great one liners thrown around as well. As usual, there were several Cheeseburgler pizzas and Long Island Ice Teas consumed apres Kickball. submitted by off constantly It's tough to beat Off Constantly...That's what she said! Ohhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! We kept it close! Sorta Our 6-2 loss (that really felt like a 14-1 loss) proved that we just can t (and won t) beat Off Constantly. We have better things to do with our time. Thankfully, this wasn t a case where we just beat ourselves; everyone lent a helping hand (TWSS) and we played fairly well. Unfortunately, beating Off Constantly would have taken more stamina, endurance, speed and power. Something we just couldn t muster up this week. Don t get me wrong we were into it this week but our lively group that continued to drive balls into the gap (TWSS) really had our work cut out for us against a very strong team. A B C Off to a very early deficit, we put up a run and we had a few opportunities to bring in some more runs, but luck wouldn t fall our way. With bases loaded and one out early in the game we had a chance to bring it within reason but they had a very strong pitcher and we just struggled to get the runs on the board. That s just the way it goes sometimes. On the up side, our pitching depth continues to grow as we saw a new reliever in Anthony I think I just threw my back out Salvaggio on the mound. For his first time, he was nervous, shaky, sweating, panting it really was like it was his first time. He did well but I think we saw the makings of some great pitching down the road. If you ve ever seen the America s Funniest Home Videos when people fall incredibly hard, in an incredibly awkward manner; you d appreciate the debacle that was displayed by our fiery 2nd base/outfield/wherever we put her, Danielle Salvaggio. Not only did she dive face first into, uhhh shortstop (yes I said, shortstop), she face-planted into shortstop with the grace and finesse of a newborn deer. It was brilliant. She played it off like she wasn t embarrassed. Bullshit. She was. I mean, hell, I was for her. My Momma always said, Do what you like. Do what you re good at. Do what makes you happy. So.we drink. Actually, my Momma never said that. But we still drink. Submitted by TWSS D F

4 Game Recaps Continued... Do You Hear That? That is you falling the order NDW cant fulfill prediction NDW squared off against the Guard Dogs last night after a prediction of 15-0 the previous day, NDW went right to work trying to hit the number. After almost batting around in the first, NDW let off the gas and coasted in cruise control to a run rule victory. The highlights of the game came from 3rd base, where the Guard Dogs made a great snag to rob a line drive that had double written all it and a great one handed grab by NDW. NDW ended the game at 12-0 on a line drive to third that was punched into the air over to 2nd base who made the catch to end the game. Quote of the game: "Doug, do you hear that? That is you falling in the order." ~Nate Delois (submitted by NDW) Guard Dogs gaining momentum Even though the standings don't reflect it, Guard Dogs have found increased success in their overall play this season. It's tough to gel as a team each season when half the team returns and half the team is new. We are getting more comfortable with our roles, positions, and kicking ability as each week progresses. The Dogs came into week 5 against No Dead Weight clearly unmatched in skills and ability John and Alice pitched quality innings, with Joel manning home plate as effectively as possible considering the amazing kicking and base-running skills of the NDW team. Tom held strong in the outfield while TJ kept control of first. Several Dogs made contact when kicking. Ashley showed infield skills on third, with Heather, Rebecca and Alicia manning the outfield and some infield play. Dogs lost, but NDW was generous enough to mix up the teams and play for fun with the remaining time before next games began. We left the field having had a good time and went on to kick butt in Flip Cut at 51 Wharf. (submitted by GD) Balltastic goes on Double Header Voyage.Fliptastic team emerges The Balltastic Voyage had a double header Thursday the 23 rd and had a recovery in terms of defense after the beating they took the week before. The first game was against Shot Gun Bang and that resulted in a 6-0 victory. Ryan pitched a great game and recorded one of the ever elusive kickball strikeouts; and the entire team played outstanding across the board while having a great time. In the second game the Balltastic Voyage lost to the Loaded Bases in a tough one 2-1 to fall back to.500 on the year. It was a well played game all around, but unfortunately the Balltastic were just unable to squeak the tying run across the plate to force a tie. In a positive note, after the games on the fields the Fliptastic Voyage continued their sting of kickassness in flip cup at 51 Warf.

5 Even More Game Recaps VD & WGTR Tie in Best Game of Season VD and WGTR s decided to say F the system, we re playing Sloshball The captains agreed ahead of time on a 0-0 tie and that the wonderful game of sloshball would be played. After some ground rules were layed, both teams joined together for some pre-game beverages. VD took the field and The Runs got ready to kick. The Runs got on the board early due to some solid placement kicks and a few flabongos taken on Third. VD was able to tie the score also with some help from the Flabongo and some good base running. As the game moved on it was clear this was a debauchery, but oh so fun. Players were not able to run the line to first and could not see straight to catch fly balls. With the Score 10 9 The Runs, VD was up with two people on third, one on second on and one on first. A dropped fly ball into the out field allowed one runner from third and the runner from 2 nd to score making it VD. That second runner on third was still there trying to finish her drink. The game ended with all thinking, That is how kickball should be played. Shot Gun, Bang falls to Balltastic Voyage With almost half of the team missing last week, Shot Gun, Bang had their first shut out of the season. We are excited to have our full team back on the field this week, and for the rain!! Shot Gunners definitely play better in the rain, so watch out NDW! SGB plans to dominate on the karaoke floor this week, we are rested, focused, and ready! Matt & Andrew may just go home to throw their tshirts in the dryer again this week, between the fields and the bar.because we re so proud to represent the orange in the post-game. If you ask nicely maybe they ll dry yours too!! See you at the bar!

6 Morin s Magic 8 Ball Shot Gun Bang Vs NDW NDW is running on all cylinders right now and is playing some pretty good ball. Look for them to continue their solid play against Shot Gun Bang. With NDW having such a strong defense I think it will be tough for SGB to push across runs. NDW 11-0 Off Constantly Vs. VD This is my match up of the night. Currently VD is ranked 4th and Off Constantly is sitting strong in the 3rd spot. Off Constantly has a potent offense and is going up against a solid defense of VD s and if VD can keep the mistakes down to the minimum this cou ld very well turn this into a low scoring affair. In the end I give the edge to the OC. Off Constantly 6-2 Loaded Vs. We ve got the Runs Loaded is coming off a grudge match last week that really tested their defense. We ve got the runs battled VD for a 0-0 tie. If BL can gets their offense going early there defense can handle the rest. BL 5-1 SMYK Vs Balltastic Voyage I was very surprised of last week s outcome for SMYK they need to find out how to get out of their slump quickly. Balltastic played a very solid game against Bases Loaded last week and I look for them to do the same against a struggling SMYK team. I am giving the edge to Balltastic with a 4-2 victory. Guard Dogs vs TWSS Two teams that are still looking for that first big W. They both have some bright spots on their teams and either team can pull it out. I think TWSS will steal this one from guard dogs. TWSS 7-1 We ve got the Runs Vs Buzzed again Buzzed again played a great game last week but getting a tied score against SMYK. We ve got the runs will be coming off a hard against BL earlier in the night. This will be a fun game to watch with lots of scoring. Slight edge to We ve got the Runs with a 8-6 victory. GOOD LUCK TO ALL TEAMS THIS WEEK!
