Here's your final TWTWTW. We hope you had a great season! Be sure to come back next Spring!

Good Morning BOG!

Another year has come and gone. I kinda wish we had some Fall Kickball together since I now have to wait til April to see all of you.

On to Super Saturday.

We all got to the field bright and early. Our game vs. Derelict My Balls was at 9:45. We came out strong putting 4 runs on them early. Festa, Chris, Pete, and Sokchhan all got runs.

The score remained like that until the 4th inning when DMB managed to kick a ball into far right field. They got 2 runs off that play. 4-2. Then we felt the need to add further separation between us, and we added 5 more runs to the score. Pete, Sokchhan, Jeremy, Mary, and Hooper all scored. Hooper hit a homerun. (Was this the play that was almost caught by their outfield as he dove for it? And who was on base for that? It wasn't on the scoresheet)

After that we put the lockdown on the game. Final Score: 9-2.

After an hour break, we came back to the field vs. our rivals, Off in the Park. It was a very rough game for us. We only got 1 person to get to 1st base. Chris. Defensively we were holding on tightly. We let up 2 runs in the first, and 3 runs in the second, but after they got into our heads, we made huge mistakes in the 3rd that cost us. After the third was over it was 0-12, and they wanted us to invoke the mercy rule. I decided that we got our team here on a Saturday, and we hadn't made it through our lineup yet, so I wanted to finish the game out. They didn't and made sure to just pop it up the rest of the game. In our final inning of the year, we made it to our final 3 kickers. Final score 0-12.

At the End of Season party, Uhl, Hooper, Beth, Mary, Callie, Emily, Chris and myself all attended. There was lots of flipcup between us and various other teams. After the party wound down, a few of us went to Madhatter and danced to the classics for 20 minutes for finally calling it a night.

So that concludes our season and year. I want to thank everyone for a very good year. I thought this was our best BOG season yet. See you guys in the Spring!

Super Saturday is tomorrow!

Here's your complete guide to the Week that Was and What tomorrow will bring.

Good Morning BOG!

The evening started out with me, Bill, and Sokchhan reffing In the Pink and Cool Name Pending. Cool Name Pending came out dressed like cheerleaders complete with skirt, pom-poms, and wore custom-made "Saved by the Bell" t-shirts. (Go-ooo Bayside!) I'm assuming since Pink came out dressed like they were ready for the playoffs, CNP decided that their statement would be that they were going to get gang-banged by the varsity football team.

In the Pink came out in a bad mood... maybe it was because they were wearing PINK!

Well - as anticipated, the #13 seed, Pink completely crushed the #20 Cool Name Pending. I mean steamrolled so that nobody knew the final score. Despite all of that - Pink was still in a bad mood.

So when anyone wonders why Cool Name Pending stuck around to be BOG's cheering section, now you know... or maybe they just liked cheering for me. I guess we'll never know.

Since we're the #4 seed, we had our choice of home or away, so I picked home. Pink, still angry that they're wearing pink, took the field, and we made easy work of them in the first inning. There was a controversial call at 2nd where the base-running girl complained that Mary was blocking the base. After some arguing, the ref called her out... and it was going to be one of those games.

When we took the field, our lead-offs put on a clinic of what not to do in a playoff game. 3 and out. ;-)

In the second, our defense held some more. When we got up, our next 3 did their best impersonations of the top 3. It was a very good impersonation. 3 and out. ;-)

In the third, Steve had a nice double play to end the inning. He caught the ball - and the runner who didn't tag up properly from 1B. Next up was the Bald Alex Express. Uhl line drives the ball - and is the first BOG'er to get to 1B. Hooper does the same, advancing Uhl. Festa gets up and does his best bunt-up-the-1B-line to not only outrun their catcher, but assure Uhl and Hooper advanced. Callie kicked next, kicked a foul ball near 1st base - where it was caught - but that was enough to distract the fielders from Uhl tagging up. This is where the Pink team learned that you could tag up on a foul ball. Marc, Beth and Eric made it on base, Marc was called out at 2nd. Dylan got up, kicked, it was caught, but Pink lost count of the outs and tried to get all of the base runners out... before they had to be reminded that the inning was over. 2-0 us.

In the fourth, we put on some more defense. We got back up again, but weren't able to score.

In the fifth, we entered shut-down mode to preserve our lead. 2 outs, we let one of their speedsters get on base. One of their kickers kicks towards left-short. Their speedster gets to 3rd before the ball does... but overruns third. Before he could get back, the ball was waiting at 3rd for him. The ref called him out - game over. Of course Pink argued that call. The call stood. Final Score BOG 2 - Pink 0.

It was an ugly game, but we came away with the win.

At the bar we played lots of flipcup with Balls to the Mall (the Orange team). Regular, Ultimate, Partner, Tandum, and some other things I don't remember. At the end of the night, a handful of us went into Chinatown and hung out at Rocket Bar where we admired Pete and Uhl's late-night McDonald sandwiches.

Next up - Super Saturday. We play #12 Derelict My Balls at 9:45 AM on Saturday.

Attention Kickballers! It's Playoff time!
