Red Rocket Report: Nobody Cares

Apathy reared its ugly head last night in Temple Terrace. It was "theme night" in Kickball Society with a $100 bar tab on the line. The defending Grand Champion Red Rockets were also the defending theme night winners. But the champs had more ideas than motivation. And in the end, looked to their favorite vodka for some inspiration: "fuck it."

The Rockets showed up with a heavily depleted roster and zero participation in theme night. The league all shook their heads and wondered why we had forsaken them.

However, it was "social experiment" night.  Captain Griff decided to REVERSE the line-up in hopes of letting the shitty kickers feel on top of the world. Ironically, this caused Maria to move from 7th to 8th, which undoubtedly resulted in a few "hhhhhhhh's," "what?!?'s," and "that's nonsenses." You just can't make some people happy.

The other team (Kick Ballz) did not reverse their line-up, and seemed poised for an upset. Some standard Rocket throwing errors resulted in a run, and there was no offensive production the entire first pass through the roster.  It wasn't until Zimbabwe Princess Teneille decided to actually bunt, and Gorecki decided not to pop out, that the Rockets got on the board with at 2-1 lead.

More dumb fielding mistakes yielded another run to Kick Ballz, and all hope seemed lost. But in what must have been the worst play in kickball history... Ruben kicked a 3-run "homerun,"... which was really a single with a throwing error at EVERY base while he rounded them all. Pure insanity.

Gorecki earned the Donkey Punch with his bases loaded 2 RBI double.  Nate earned the Gorecki for fouling out with runners on 2nd and 3rd (only one out). Teneille earned the Wendy for dropping a ball that hit her face and over-running another deep ball that allowed a run.

Final score: 5-3.
Reverse Order: not productive.
You: don't care.

whoa whoa blowin my mind... in reference to Teneille, how does one over run a ball in the outfield?!!?
-did she run past it?!
-was she still delirious from getting hit in the face with a ball?
-was she just drinking to much johnny walker.....??
-or maybe she just cant see red objects??

please elaborate.
thank you.

she was watching Thunder's old tapes... the ones where he teaches you to run way up on it... only to make the "oh shit" face when you realize it's going to go over your head and land where you were to begin with.

thankfully he doesn't do that anymore.

HAHAHA... Actually.. I was mesmerized my Chandler's striking good looks in the outfield... lol.. What can I say.. the boys behind me who said "you don't have it" missed the ball as well... ooopsiee... I <3 you guys.. your slowly growing on me like a cankerous mole....

Smithkey said...

the boy behind you who said you dont have it was right. he might have missed it as well but it was in your area, he was was just sprinting over there to bail you out.

Nate Dawg said...

Yea the boys behind you would have made the catch but didnt want to make the blooper reel by running into each other (which we did anyways cleaning up your mess). From now on I will just be imagining you not there and catching everything, Mikey "Terminator" Longton style...

trinihic said...

Nate.. since I can sit on you.. I don't think that's possible.. And whatev about missing the ball... you guys were right there.. But it's cool... I take full responsibility for that one... :)You try and run into this brick wall, I may break you in two lil keebler... ;)

Brooke said...

omg lil keebler!! IRL

Nate Dawg said...

Yea your right I was right there but I slowed up a lil bit when you called out "I GOT IT!" and if you didnt say that I would have made it there to catch it. Good job taking responsbility for yourself...now just if the rest of you people could...just being racist...

Thanks for Maria's comment. Turns out geometric shapes DO have a sense of humor.
