The man really didn’t want this week’s lines to be published, but this league has inspired me to work overtime into the night. If over a hundred people pay to play kickball in 40 degree temperatures and rain, then this author can soldier on and produce a thousand words about fake kickball betting…..or just throw in lots of pictures.
Last week’s action saw two games end in ties with edge of your seat finishes. The game of the week between the Foot Snipers and JFK played out as advertised with neither team able to plate any runs against stalwart opposing defenses. Meanwhile, Kick Ass came out swinging like a one-legged man at an ass kicking contest against the Pounders and then they were able to withstand late rallies to preserve a 4-4 tie.
The Frosty Ballin’ and Whiskey Kick matchup has already been talked to death on the many WAKA media outlets. Everyone’s delicate sensibilities have been attended to and we’re all back to being one another’s super best kickball friends….that is until I caught one of these flyers as the Frosties team bus tore out of the Luckie’s parking lot:
All Up In the Bunt (40:1) vs. Kick Ass (12:1)
Kick Ass played their best game of the year in a Week 3 tie with the Peninsula Pounders and All Up in the Bunt recorded a shutout against an improving Foul Balls squad. This game will feature some old teammates facing off, so bragging rights are equally as important as a crucial third win of the season for both teams. The Vegas odds makers like to ride the hot team, and it doesn’t get much hotter than the Kick Ass infield. Cover your ass (-4.5)
Just For Kicks (3:2) v. Whiskey Kick (26:2)
Whiskey Kick hopes for a short refractory period after their Week 3 pummeling and they will be aided by the return of their starting pitcher, Matt Wellbrock. However, the toughest task against this JFK team is getting women or men on base. The Dead Kennedys rock n’ roll to hold onto first place. JFK (-26.2)
Foul Balls (397:1) vs. Foot Snipers (3:2)
Foul Balls captain Andreas Beyersdorf spent millions of your taxpayer dollars creating this graphic this week. That’s valuable time he should have spent coaching Wade Brock. The Snipers stay focused and keep pace with JFK by cruising to victory as well. Take Aim (-9.5)
Chubby Gangsters (396:1) vs. Peninsula Pounders (3:1)
Everyone will be wondering what the weather is like in South Beach this Saturday. The Pounders will show us why they’re taking their talents there. Poundin’ South (-7.5)
Frosty Ballin’ (8:1) vs. Foot Snipers (3:2)
Both teams are ice cold killers, so they will have a distinct advantage over the rest of the league in Week 4 action. This is the only Week 4 matchup with major playoff seeding implications, so both teams are sure to bring their A games. This one should come down to the final frame, but we see the Snipers having a small edge. Pull the Trigger (-1.5)
All Up In the Bunt (40:1) vs. Just For Kicks (3:2)
The Kennedys have been teaching classes at Ball So Hard University all season. Class is back in session. Kickin’ It (-6.5)
