In traditional tournament fashion, the weather was cold, cloudy and windy - all the more reason to drink more of the official Big Johnsons' tournament drink - mudslides! Thanks to Lori for providing a big jug again this year. Unlike past tournaments, we actually won our first game so we had a couple breaks throughout the day. We had a tough time getting our butts moving, but since the other team was only playing with 3 guys and 6 girls, we were able to play a half-assed game and still win!
We were more awake for the rest of the games, so they all went pretty well. We didn't have any problem winning the 2nd game, but the third game was against the league's undefeated team - We Got the Runs...or "the Runs" for short. The team is hard core serious. They beat all the other teams this season by at least 10 runs. We kept it 1-1 for 5 innings before giving them 2 runs near the end, for a final of 3-1. We considered that a victory since they weren't even drinking!
Our fourth game went good...still playing smart and consistent. That win put us into the championship against...you guessed it...the Runs. We got ahead of them early on about 7-2. They were worried for the first time all season. We battled back and forth until the last inning when we made a couple mistakes that gave them a bunch of runs. And just like that...the season was over. We ended-up second...which is generally always the case. You know the saying...always the bridesmaid, but never the bride. Yup, that's us!
Thanks for another great season everyone! If points were given for having the most fun, we'd have beaten the Runs by 100! See you all next season!
It's hard to believe another kickball season has come and gone so quickly - where has the summer gone anyway?
