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.

It was a great year and Julie and I had a blast again. We hope to see all you at the Big Johnson party this Saturday.
Just an FYI for everyone. The Big Johnsons had players in the Championship game again this year. Michele, Julie and Myself were asked by Media One if we could help them out as they were short players. We helped out and helped lead them to a 2nd place finish. We represented the Big Johnsons with pride. So, all or part of the Big Johnsons team have been in 4 straight championship games. The streak is alive!!!!
I thought I would mention that I think that we could have won our leagues tournament this year. Balls of Glory got 10 runned in their first game. As a Vikings fan would say, there is always next year. ha-ha. I am not sure who won our league tounrament but I will try to find out before Saturday.
Later everyone.
Good job guys....I'm still devastated that we couldn't play this year. I'm ready to dominate beer drinking this weekend. See ya all there.
What time and where are we all getting together?
Molly says noon at Billy Froggs. And I we're supposed to bring our own beer for whatever the next destination ends-up being....
Destination suggestions?
Noon??? Works for me. That will make for a very early night. I will have time to sobber up and not have too much of a hangover, for the drive up to the Vikes game Sunday morning.
That's what I thought too. I would like to be somewhat functional on Sunday.
The end of the year party was a lot of fun. We had a blast and drank a little too much, as usual. We still did wake up the following morning so we could drive up to the Vikings game. Julie was not happy about me waking her up that early, but she got up.
I also wanted to invite all of you to come to Rookies this Sunday at 12pm. We are going there to watch all the NFL games that afternoon. For us we will be watching the Vikes at 12pm, but will be sticking around for the 3pm games also. We thought this would be a fun thing to start doing when the Vikes have away games.
