September 10th Game Summary

Last night was the final game of the season and we played KWSN - a team that beat us earlier in the season. Of course they had to cheat a little to do it...

Anyway - the BJs got even last night with a nice 4-2 victory. That win made us 5-3 for the season which is pretty good considering the slow start we got. It's too bad we can't play in the tournament - I'm guessing we could place 1st or 2nd (like we always do!)

Back to last night's game - everyone played great. Special kudos go to Molly for some HUGE catches and plays at first base and Eric for a ton of great plays - I think he's getting pretty comfortable playing pitcher. Seriously, though - I think everyone will agree he kicked some serious ass last night. Way to go, Eric!

We also have a new award to hand-out this week - the dumbass mistake award. Dave & Craig both receive one of these. Dave didn't finish a run to 1st base because he thought there were 3 outs when there was only 2. 3 seconds later, however, there was 3 outs :-). Craig kicked 3 foul balls resulting in an out. Good thing they both played solid the rest of the time. No one harassed them too much.

That's pretty much the wrap-up. Does anyone have anything to add? Go for it!

Thanks for another great kickball season. Sign me up for next year! Oh, and don't foget the party coming up Saturday September 20th. I'll post more details when I get them...but hardcore players will want to stock up on beer and schedule the entire day for drinking.

September 3rd Game Summary

There's only one word to describe last night's game - TOTAL DOMINATION. Ok...technically that's two words - but seriously - we really put it to the Michael Bolton Kickball Experts. Does anyone know the final score? Not that it matters...we beat them...by a lot.

All the BJs played well. The guys kept quite a few kicks on the ground and someone had another grand slam. Was that Scott?

Our "bunt machines" did great, too. Here's Sarah running it out after one of her signature 12" bunts.

Here's a few more photos...






























Top to Bottom: Lindsey with a great bunt. Mark showing the ball who's boss. Captain BJ kicking that grand slam I mentioned...I think.


Eric was pitching again last night and redeemed himself pretty well. He showed a lot of hustle and made some really good plays. In fact, some of the BJs were so thrilled they looked kind of like this:
Well - next week is going to be tough. We play KWSN...the team we lost to week #1. We really don't like them much and would like to get even.

We'll see you all on field #7 @ 7:15...or before. Sounds like Scott & I will be umping the 6:15 game, so come early to provide reinforcements.
