It was a tough night for the BJs, thats for sure.
One of our key players was sick, another had clear vision in only one eye - we call that "pirate style" matey! ARRGGH.
Offensively we were the same powerhouse we are every week...defensively...well, thats a different story. We gave them A LOT of runs.
The final score was 22-19 (them, not us)...but those of you that were there know that with how we played in the field it should have been much worse. If we would have showed-up with even an "average" game, we would have 10-runned them after 4 innings.
But alas, we did not.
BJs are 5-1.

22-7
Yeah...that's right. 22-7. The BJs showed Just 4 Kicks that adult kickball in Sioux Falls, SD is not "just for kicks."
Sure...they were up on us 5-0 after the first inning. Sure it was a cold, rainy night. Sure we all showed up too late to have the mandatory pre-game 3 beers. But did we let all that adversity stop us? Hell, no. We're the BJs...and we dominate.
After letting Just 4 Kicks walk all over us for 3 innings, we decided to do something about it. We scored like....11 runs in the 6th inning to end the game. Its great being the home team. But since we're sporting folks, we decided to play another inning just for fun. Yeah, we kicked their asses that inning, too.
We have 3 players sharing the MVP this week
1-2-3- Go BJs! 5-0.

- Jesse for a spectacular flying catch to end the game

August 15th Game Summary
The BJs continue to dominate, 10-running the Tru-Green Chemlawn team 18-8 in just 5 innings.
Unfortunately I was in Colorado for work all week, so I missed the game. But according to Steve-O who subbed for me, it was a pretty good time for the Johnsons.
Congrats to Mark for being voted MVP of the week for his 7 RBIs..and for inadvertently missing home pate as he was running past it celebrating. Way to go, man!
Here's a glimpse of what I was doing in Colorado...besides work:
Can you say "glider ride above the Rocky Mountains?" Awesome! More photos here.
See you Wednesday BJs!

August 8th Game Summary
DOMINATION....
Well, not really "domination" per se...but the BJs did "blow" one past the Rubber Balls 10-9.
The BJs were hardcore out of the gate, making the game 9-2 after the first couple of innings. Then we hit a slump that allowed the Rubber Balls to play a little catch-up.
Mark was voted MVP for his AWESOME diving catch to end the game. Good thing, too...'cause if they would have scored another one the BJs would have been in a tight spot goin' into the bottom of the last inning. Sometimes we're not so good under pressure!
Here's a few of the guys discussing post-game strategy.

Don't under-estimate the BJ ladies - they kick ass on and off the field!

August 1st Game Summary
One word describes the BJs last night - DOMINATION.
We played a team called Last Picked In Gym Class which, from the looks of them, was hardly the case. They had a great first week beating Tru-Green Chemlawn 26-2. After watching that slaughter, we were understandably a little concerned.
Anyway, those guys (and gals...it is a co-ed league) showed-up for the second week straight with nothing but water and gatorade. Not only that, they warmed-up by running laps, stretching and doing sprints. Don't they realize this is a "fun" league?
The BJs executed a rigorous warm-up routine consisting of drinking at least 2 beers each and poking fun at the other team. This routine served us well last year when we placed 2nd in our division...and the strategy certainly paid off last night as we pulled a 9-6 win out of our asses.
Sarah was voted MVP of the game for her rock-solid performance on 3rd base and particularly "weak" bunts.
One particular high-point was when their left fielder dissed one of our gal's bunts calling it "a weak bunt." "Is there another kind?" I thought to myself as I told their pitcher that ragging on a girl is an automatic walk. Too bad the ump didn't agree.
After 2 weeks the BJs are 2-0. Let's keep the train a movin'!
