| "Throw me the ball, mother f***er" |
Well, our dastardly, sneaky plan of intimidation failed miserably. When we saw that not a single Foot Sniper player had peed their pants when they saw that they were coming up against the team of the "ruthless, evil a$$holes" we knew we were in trouble. Perhaps they didn't read the write up last week?? Dang.
The first inning looked promising as we held the Snipers to 3 runs. They actually caught us holding onto the ball and ran the bases a few times, but we held them to 3! Then it was our turn! There was argumentation on EVERY frickin' play for the first 5 kickers... They didn't maintain possession here or it was out of play there. Blah, blah, blah... We steadily filled up the bases and we were in scoring position, and then... they held us to no runs with bases loaded. An opportunity to bring the Snipers down... BLOWN! Their offense was tight and efficient. We heard "give me the ball, mothers f***er!!" or "you're out mother f***er!!" on a few occasions. What team spirit and cameraderie! What zest! Makes me feel all warm inside! (Actually it was pretty darn funny!)
It was all downhill from there for Frosty Ballin'. We never really got our "kick" on and the Snipers kept kicking the crap out of it. In fact, one was kicked into field 1. By the time Domonic "why the heck am I standing next to the pitcher in field 1" Guarry got to it, the kicker (Jon Reyes) was already on 2nd base. Then Dom grabbed the ball and did this fancy pirouette move that any ballerina would be proud of, and threw the ball like it was a hot potato to... the right center fielder in field 1. So um... it was a big home run kick for the Snipers. yay... :/
The Snipers kept kicking away since they knew that they had a win under their belt and a few of our outfielders got some good catches out of it. David "Peacock" Chappell caught a nice one in right center field. (Speaking of which, he's about to lose his nickname as he hasn't peacocked a catch in over 3 games!) Dana "I want a do-over!" Pilz came oh-so close to robbing a kicker and catching a line drive foul ball past 3rd base. She asked for a do-over but, for some stupid reason they just wouldn't... now is that fair??! Sheesh... And also Karen Savell caught one in right field.
Mark Flores and George Kiriazidis (how the heck do you pronounce THAT??) both pitched a good game. We fell a little flat as a team on both sides of the ball, but I gotta hand it to the Snipers; They're good... I mean really good! And I wouldn't be surprised if they took the Wentworth Trophy home at the end of this season. Take THAT mother f***ers!!! (EDITORS NOTE: The Wentworth Trophy is not on the line this winter. It's the Raptor Cup, or whatever.)
Frosty Ballin' was handed their first shut out of the season with a score of 10-0.
Interesting Frosty Ballin' stats: there weren't any because we stunk...
It is reported that George and Andrea Hoffman still aren't on speaking terms since she stole his thunder last week by denying him a home run. He claims that she was "busy picking clovers between 2nd and 3rd" and slowed him down or he would have had a SWEET home run under his belt. Lorraine gave him an attitude adjustment by making him shake hands with Andrea and say "sorry". It's not known if he really said it or if he coughed and mumbled an expletive. Oh, and Andrea may have kicked him in the "Frosty Balls"... I'll report more on that next week... AND David Chappell is taking off in a few weeks to attend the Annual Peacock Awards. We are all hoping he will get the big award this year as he's been a runner up for the past 4 years. David noted, "I hope I get it. I don't want to be another Susan Lucci..."
Also, Dominic "Why the heck am I standing next to the pitcher on field 1" Guarry is hereforto known now as Dominic "Hot potato" Guarry because the other one takes too dang long to type...
Tune in to the next write up for more drama on "Kickball: The Freezin' Season"!
