5 RSVP HERE:

6 1. Walk of Shame - And you are holding on to this by skin of your teeth! Although you are probably still the best team in Live, you still got beat. Your saving grace? You guys threw a party AND you had a keg there? Really? Whoever thought we'd see you guys have fun after getting beat up like that? Is Live growing on you? 2. Weekend Warriors - So it seems as if you guys are good. The problem? Your schedule has been kind of weak. All the teams you play are "fun". Then you played a legit capital team and got destroyed. No shame in that. But play the Walks or something, and then we'd respect your hustle even more. Think of yourselves as the Boise State of our league. 3. Kick in a Box - Look at who's crept up the rankings! Is there a team in the division that's been as hot as these guys? We don't think so. And as long as their thug captain keeps up what he's been doing (we've seen the Ego's pictures on facebook), we don't think this train is going to be derailed. Next week we can't wait to see you play Warriors! 4. Golden Showers - What do tigers dream of when they take their little tiger snooze? Do they dream of drinking vodka? Or seeing Lundy in her tattered cheetah suit? Rawr! 5. Meatspin - How quickly you spin everything around! All that Walk of Shame talent seems to really come in handy during games. Shutting out Sons of Pitches? Impressive. And way to take Safari night way too seriously! Handing out monkeys to your players? Even Jack Hanna had to be impressed. 6. Bob's Builders - Ok, so congrats. You beat Here for the Balls... Whooptee! But the team name!! Come on!!!! Give us a reason to love you. We want to love you!!! Just for the love of Bob... Change the name!!!!! 7. Sit on my Base - The other people in Live might be mad you're ranked this high. That's ok. We're partial to you guys (well, the girls). and we're not ashamed to admit it. Got a problem with it? Put their ladies on your team. 8. Ctrl Alt Elite - You remind us of the Dallas Cowboys. Talented. But you do real boneheaded things out there on the field. Still, you beat a capital team and you had some flip cup going. That's not boneheaded. 9. Hannah Montana XXX Tape - We're not sure what the cause of it was, but it feels like nobody really knew you were playing this week, then all of the sudden we look over and see 3 members of your team huddled around your radio dancing to that song. wtf? 10. Casual and Consentual - Ok we're going to be real with you here. We think the only reason you beat Meatspin was because all of their players showed up late and BMO didn't give you the correct windown to start the game. But since we have to give you credit for the

7 win, you get the top 10 ranking. And unfortunately a win this week over Balls Deep won't change our minds. Don't try to fight people this week either. Shiners aren't sexy. 11. Alcoballics - The standings may say dead last, but you tied CandyVan. Is this sleeping giant FINALLY awakening? That was no small task. We applaud. 12. I Got 99 Problems - Trust us. You can beat Brown Chicken Brown Cow this week. We believe in you. Live believes in you! Show us what you got! (Obligatory Jay-Z reference) 13. Downtown to Poundtown - Lundy talked your team up before the season started. Saying how legit you guys were. Yada yada yada...blasphemy! You're making her look bad! So remember that this week. You aren't just playing for your team. You're playing to save her from ridicule. Win one for Lundy! 14. Sons of Pitches - We refuse to believe there are 12 teams better than you. It really hurts us to say this, but you guys are sucking ass. We mean, you're losing and we don't ever see you at the bar. You've changed on us. You used to be the champs Here for the Balls - Pause. Ok so you're back to your losing ways. That's ok. It's to be expected. Here we'll extend an olive branch. If you beat Showers this week, we will immediately make you a top 10 team. No questions asked. 16. Balls Deep - Hey your team may be in the shitter, but we love the chest paint. You guys take theme nights to a whole different level. First disco night or, in your case, female anatomy night. Then cheetah print on safari night. Well done.

8 1) Teabaggers- Not only did you not trip up, you treated Thorz Day like a cheap hooker in Mexico, no rules, and as long as you don't kill them it's all in good form. This week you face the #2 team in this poll again, Relax and Let It Happen, it's been 4 or 5 seasons since these guys have been beat, will you be the first? 2) Relax and Let It Happen- A very unimpressive 4-1 win last week. This week is the match up that everyone has been waiting for, Teabaggers v 8pm on Field 1, bring your popcorn and lets see if Relax shows up or if they continue their downfall toward mediocrity. 3) Thorz Day- Well the clock struck midnight last week for Thorz Day, getting trounced I keep you up here because I believe in you, and because the Teabaggers are good. Let's see how you guys respond to your first adversity of the season. No time to pout because you face a very good opponent in Lonestars this week. 4) Brown Chicken- YOU WROTE A GMOT!!! And in doing so you burst right back into my heart! You also won, granted you barely won which means you don't move up too much, but you are growing on me, keep up the good work folks! This week you face 99 Problems, don't let me down and let s pound these Live'ers. 5) Faceballs- If there was a poke button, I'd click it! Good win over a veteran Live team. Don't lose the momentum over the bye week, get a kickball and a beer and come out to support your fellow TX Capital teams. 6) Suck My Kick- You lost but you played well, a 4-1 loss against Relax is very respectable. We will see how respectable it is after this week. This week you guys face Candy Van, this should be a great match up with two teams that are close to being in the top tier of this league, who wants it more? 7) Lonestars- 7 runs!?!? Who are you guys? This is the team that I've been looking for! Granted you did it against the #12 team in the league, however, you've got to start somewhere! This week you face Thorz Day, it's time to prove you can beat someone who actually has a win now! 8) Candy Van- I gave you a chance last week almost extending an invite into the cool kids club, now, I'll throw a slushie in your face! Tying a Live team?!? tisk tisk tisk. Win this week and I'll consider forgiving you! 9) Tu Madre- Very competitive game, losing 3-2 against a quality BCBC team. I like the improvement that I'm seeing from you guys! 10) Awful Waffles- Well a tie is better than a loss, but there is still room for awesomeness! You've got a bye this week, I think you should come to the field, watch some competitive games and heckle from your tailgate, just an idea... 11) Average Joe's- Did you practice? Guess we'll find out against a Live team that I would love for you to beat! 12) Rainbow Brights- Wow, you're a loooooong way from Rainbow Land! This week you play a tough live team, beat them and bounce your way back to a happy place, lose and you'll be that star athlete from middle school who fell into the wrong crowd and dropped out by the 11th grade!

9 First of all, I know you guys are thinking, oh yeah, of COURSE Lundy s team one. But to be fair, we have a committee, and they voted. In all honesty, Balls Deep technically had the best costumes but we agreed in the beginning of the season that each team could only win once per season out of fairness to everyone else. Sooooo therefore, SHOWERS WIN!! I was mildly disappointed that there were only 3 teams even potentially in the running and absolutely NO ONE ed me a submission to try to win. However, thanks to those of you who dressed up! One more theme night up for grabs on November 11 th! PIRATES!

10 Chad Niland God I love Kickball Thursdays... Willy Morgan It's Kickball night and it couldn't have come at a better time... Nothing says stress relief like kicking the shit out of a little red ball and drinking Lonestar! Megan Lundquist WAKA Kickball tonight! Triple header. Holy liver failure. Stephen Moursund Dear Awful Waffles: I will cover you in pecans and bananas and delicious real maple syrup, and then I will eat you. Jake Middleton Tonight...we kick balls. Tomorrow...we become legends. Gabe Hernandez can't shake the adrenaline rush from kickball. Sara Wieland had a lot of fun being a giraffe last night. Joseph Filip That's a win for the Faceballs! Awww yeah! Amanda Erhart to all the meatspinners out there: one of my kindergarteners came up to me and sang "you spin me right 'round" today. it seemed so innocent when being sung by a precious 5 year old with an affinity for great 80's music...

12 Well, we finally got that much needed first victory last Thursday in the way we used to win last year, by actually scoring runs. We're back in the grass this Thursday for the happy hour game at 6:30. We will be short 3 stellar players but we'll be confident the rest of the team will step up against those Ballers from Thorzday. With the playoffs approaching, we are not a team you want to see on your schedule. Lonestar Swagger Hey Andre we want our Case! Yes we lost to Relax, who doesn t? But we actually scored a run against them which is a moral victory for the ages. Some people might call it lucky, but i would tell those people to shut up. We played pretty well, we made some errors and lost 4-1 but I'm pretty sure our drunken practices are paying off. So Dre pay up we are a thirsty bunch. From here on we are going to trade our morals, for Wins.

13 In the jungle, the mighty jungle, who has any idea what the score was? Not us. Things I remember about the evening are listed below. 1) I had two snakes around my neck at different points throughout the night. 2) Bradley is MVP just for buying me a megaphone. BEST GIFT EVER. 3) We hands down won the theme night. YEAH! 4) We may or may not have tied a game and lost a game. We won at life, so none of that matters. 5) Kai made a rifle out of beer cans. 6) Roger put his own blood on his face to increase the value of his costume. I may or may not have encouraged that. 7) Bradley taught me the best way to pee while sitting on the side of a suburban. 8) I was a one-woman team for beer pong at Third Base and still ended up getting 4 th.

14 We came, we saw, we...barely won?!? We came out this week and had a close game with suck my kick, job well done folks! I think we won 4-1. Our leadoff kicker Dave contributed an 0-3 night at the plate. Our defense was good other than our 3rd basemen who could hardly stand let alone throw and catch. Our mission for this game was to punk meatface Thomas and that was accomplished so at least we've got that going for us, maybe next time you'll come to Vegas with the rest of us. We did say farewell to a great teammate in our tribute game, winning 4-1 for Caitlin Meroney, you will be missed! In other news I'm pretty sure that we are close to 1st place in the bar games, yeah I said it, the team considered by most to be too serious for our own good is also close to the top in the bar games, awkward "social" teams... With our decline in kickball over the recent weeks I find myself asking "are we in the right league?". Then I look at the giraffe playing 2nd and a lion in right center and answer a resounding yes. This week we play the Teabaggers, a team that for a long time has been pretty irrelevant as far as Relax is concerned. However, this year the Teabaggers have been tearing through the league while Relax has stumbled over themselves to a 5-0 record. This should be a good one to watch folks so if you want to see competitive kickball at it's finest, pull up a chair and enjoy! Love, Relax

15 FUNDRAISING IS FUN! Well the Average Joe s put forth a better than AVERAGE effort to raise funds for Kick-it. A lot of people looked at us like we were just some hobos hanging out at the park drinking beer and eating hotdogs. BUT WE WEREN T! We made a $hit ton of jello shots, bought a couple of cases of beer and made some hotdogs for a good cause. We raised $151.80! TAKE THAT TO THE BANK SUCKAS! We would like to give a few SHOUT OUTS: We would like to say thank you to Sloane Harris she s our girl!! She was the first to get the jello shot purchases going! We love you boo! Barrett was a blast to hang out with and talk to. AND he previously donated to Kick-it, he had a cool wristband to prove it. The Kelly green shirt team that bought 20 shots! You guys are awesome! The purple team with the blond girl wearing the scarf that bought a vegetarian hot dog bun and gave a hefty donation just for the bun! We liked your buns too, THANK YOU! The guy in the cool biker jacket that was about to buy us jello shots because his team also wore red shirts! He ended up buying the shots and taking them to his REAL teammates but hey it s the spirit of giving and sharing that counts And for all you other haters that didn t donate we would just like to let the league know that you turned your nose up at little kids with cancer. I hope you don t sleep well at night! You know who you are.jeez, how do you live with yourself! And here s a little info about Kick-it, so the next time a team is raising funds YOU BETTER BE READY TO DONATE! 100% of the proceeds from every single kickball game will go directly to pediatric, adolescent and young adult research. Funds are donated to the Children's Tumor Foundation and CureSearch, to fund research at the Children's Oncology Group (COG). The COG is world's largest cooperative research organization with a network of more than 5000 physicians, nurses and scientists. The idea originated with a very special nine-year-old cancer patient, Quinn Clarke. He wanted to turn his favorite game of kickball into a fundraiser, so he asked his friend, Ava Harb who was also battling a cancerous tumor, to be a team captain. Together, Quinn and Ava inspired an entire community to get involved. In just five days, more than 500 people were brought together and raised thousands of dollars. Within weeks, games were held in backyards, parks and playgrounds all over the country, proving that everyone - kids, adults, friends, and families - can all make a difference. We have one simple goal accelerate a cure for children like Quinn and Ava. By organizing a game, joining a team or making a donation, you are helping thousands of children fighting cancer in your hometown and across the country. Playing kickball to raise money for research may be a new concept but Kick It is a program of Flashes of Hope, a national non-profit established in Flashes of Hope changes the way children with cancer see themselves through the gift of photography. With chapters across the country, Flashes of Hope will reach 5000 children with cancer this year alone; this represents more than 40% of the children diagnosed with cancer in the United States. Get in the game. Play kickball and help find a cure for kids with cancer.

16 Well, we finally got that much needed first victory last Thursday in the way we used to win last year, by actually scoring runs. We're back in the grass this Thursday for the happy hour game at 6:30. We will be short 3 stellar players but we'll be confident the rest of the team will step up against those Ballers from Thorzday. With the playoffs approaching, we are not a team you want to see on your schedule. Lonestar Swagger

17 Hey Andre we want our Case! Yes we lost to Relax, who doesn t? But we actually scored a run against them which is a moral victory for the ages. Some people might call it lucky, but i would tell those people to shut up. We played pretty well, we made some errors and lost 4-1 but I'm pretty sure our drunken practices are paying off. So Dre pay up we are a thirsty bunch. From here on we are going to trade our morals, for Wins.

18 Dear TX Live, We don't want any of you to get inspired because teabaggers beat us. None of you wil follow their footsteps. We're back, bitches! Taking dead aim at the cup, The Walks

19 So we ran out of pop culture things to rewrite; it happens. We have hit the brunt of our schedule, and luckily we are hitting on all cylinders now. Last week we had a battle with Thorzday Ballers to see who would be the number one contender to Relax this season. Thorzday put up a great fight but their Cinderella story hit a rough patch as we downed them 15-4 I think. Romer, Goodyke, and James all hit homeruns and our ladies all strategically placed some shots in between fielders. Melissa sprinted into 3rd on a play but started yelling "I can't stop!" and just took off for home...even though a fielder had the ball 5 feet from her. Easily one of our most entertaining moments this season. If you want to watch some entertaining kickball, I recommend coming over to field 1 at 8 o'clock because we take on Relax. We played them in the regular season last year and lost 12-0 but then only lost 1-0 in the tourny semi's. Here's hoping we bring our A game like in the tournament. -The Tyrannical Teabaggers "Teabagging bitches since 2009" Not once but two times you got to see our lovely faces out on the field Thursday. The Showers put up a good fight all the way to the end in game 1. Builders were up until the fourth when the Showers managed to piss out a couplepoints making it 3-2. In the fifth, Camille put one up on the board for the tying run- in knee high boots no less. Wayto go! Heather badass Buerger saved the day with an extraordinary pickup on a fumble at 3 rd base when our 3 rd basemen fielded a grounder and decided to throw it to third for the force but there was nobody there. Heather jumped out of nowhere and caught the loose ball preventing the Shower s from scoring another run. Builder spitcher managed to get a strikeout as well. Strikeout in kickball? Really? Yes, it really happened. We re just thatgood! Game two was pretty uneventful. Domination all the way.
