Spiders































Does anyone know what kind of spider this is? Been trying to look it up, but none of the ones I look up resemble this one. I'm thinking it's either a recluse or a wolf spider. Anyone an expert?

So Funny, And So True

Not sure how old this is, but saw it for the first time yesterday and couldnt stop laughing.

Rays vs Red Sox July 16th



Rays vs Red Sox and tailgate extravaganza!!

Ok so the last attempt at a group outing was a terrible weekend since it was Memorial Day weekend. Let's give it a whirl again. I'll get the tickets, just get me your dollars in advance. I'll probably need to get them about 8 days in advance to assure that we can all get tickets in the same section, TBT party deck of course. Tailgate set up starts at 11:30/12ish for the 4:10 game. Bring your tents, tables, corn hole, music players, and snacks to share. I'm sure we'll need multiple grills so please post what you will be bringing. Remember 4 or more in a car get to park for free. We will be setting up in the North East corner of the parking lot by the Uhaul building. Pay here with Pay Pal.

Pool Table

Our dear friends (and fellow Ligers) Steve & Laura are moving.  But their loss can be your gain.

They have a pool table for sale on Craigslist, since they can't really take it with them.  View the listing here, which has their contact info if you're interested.

GKB Registration Update

There are 9 teams registered so far, and a few free agents.

SuperBad, Alcoballics and Shockers are pretty much full.

Ligers, Beer Nuts and Growlers are half-way there (their players are probably just slacking).

Pitches be Crazy and DAaLtS just signed up so they're a bit light at the moment... both teams will also be renamed apparently.

"Rock N Rollas" is allegedly the new name of Brown Chicken Brown Cow... and they're also early into signing their team up.

There's still plenty of time to fill your spots for the season.  And GKB is doing a Tuesday/Wednesday league, which I highly doubt will fill up.  If/when that happens, I imagine those people will be placed in our Thursday league to give us 12 teams.  So all you ho-hos out there can get excited about some fresh meat coming into our group.  Don't forget to use the discount code to play for $50... which I can't express enough is all the reason you need to avoid WAKA and the $73-$83 they're charging for a kids game.

Ho-Hos.

Kickball Registration Update

Registration for GOKickball's Thursday league (August 25th) opens tomorrow for everyone who didn't play in the league last season.  I'm being told there is a lot of interest in our league from other GKB members, so I expect some new teams and a lot of new free agents.  If your team is still slacking... get on them and make sure they use our special promo code for the $5 discount.

On Saturday I was informed that 7 of the 10 teams from last season have already registered. I'll get a detailed list for you guys later.

DPT Newsletter - Off Season Musings

Here's a fun fact for you.  DPT is currently ranked #105,601 in web traffic in the United States.  What... the... deuce?  I'm actually not really sure what to make of that ranking.

So we're about half-way through our long off season, where posts and commentary trickle in from only the most dedicated of contributors.  But that doesn't mean we aren't actively working on other projects.  Kickball just happens to be the straw that stirs our drink.  It drove our forefather at BayshoreKB crazy, but I'd much rather accept it than fight it.  After all, most of us did meet and become friends, enemies, frienemies and lovers through the game of kickball.

The off season is a time to catch up on other activities.  While some people (myself included) play kickball year-round, I truly believe it's best to take a break to keep the game and experience fresh.  So what are the haps?

The Haps
DPT founded a golf league.  We're not too far along in the season but the whole experience has been pretty smooth.  Most of my budgeted creative and administrative time has been spent on that this summer.  If you like to golf, and want to get out on a regular basis to improve your game, consider joining up after this season.

The Bayshore Ballers won yet another soccer championship and were forced into the competitive division by Tampa Bay Club Sport.  They were getting pounded with an 0-6-1 regular season record, but somehow knocked out the 3rd seed in the first round of playoffs last night.  It'd be great to get some recaps of their games... but everyone knows soccer players are too concerned with tranny sex to take the time to post things.

Seriously... who thinks this is a chick?
This Saturday is the Summer Sizzle.  Everyone should go, even if you don't think you know us very well.  It's a blast and I guarantee you won't regret it.  Just do us a favor and RSVP on the Evite.  And don't do any of this "maybe" bullshit.  People create Evites to get an accurate headcount since they're providing booze and entertainment.  Responding "maybe" doesn't really help our gracious host, and it angers Baby Jesus.  Cool?  Cool.  Rumor is we'll be playing some live music... so get your boo'ing voice ready!  I also hear Missy put up some flood-lights so the volleyball can continue after sunset.  And bring at least $10 to donate.  While it's not mandatory, it IS the least you can do.

Finally, GOKickball registration opens tomorrow.  Your captain has already been sent the information and discount code so check with them.  If they aren't helpful, email DPT at: donkeynoms [at] gmail {dot} com.  It's once again only $50 for all ex-WAKA members, which is 23%-40% cheaper than our former kickball provider.  In fact, WAKA is now charging $73-$83 for the upcoming 8 game season (depending on when you register).  I'll let Eric Cartman tell you my feelings on that price... which is coincidentally similar to what Nate commented on DPT before Jaime, Ty and MLoop placed him on the ban-list.

Anyway, the city fixed the lights at Doc Nance so we will be back there playing in the super-fun and maximized social atmosphere of the "Frank Layout."  It also appears a few new teams are coming into the league, so we should have 12 (the most teams we can currently take) even if we lose some people to retirement.

That's all I got for now.  Hope you kids are having a good summer, and I'll see you at the Sizzle.

The Ultimate MVP

BY DAVID THOMAS
dthomas@star-telegram.com

I'm not a Dos Equis kind of guy. I'm more into tres, cuatro or cinco equis -- you know, the row of X's you'll see on an X-out golf ball.
I do, however, find Dos Equis' "most interesting man in the world" to be rather, well, interesting. I'm sure the Dos Equis folks would insist that their man has no equal, but I've been wondering what the sporting equivalent of the bearded wonder would be like. Now, I think I know. Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce to you the most interesting man in the sports world:

-When he sees athletes giving 110 percent, he gets upset that they're not trying as hard as he does.

-He needs only three at-bats to hit for the cycle.

-His teammates wear his name on the front of their jerseys because they play for him.

-His games never get delayed by rain.

-He has never misspelled "Krzyzewski."

-If he were a replay official, he wouldn't need the replay to get the call correct.

-His golf ball never hits the rotating windmill at the mini-golf course.

-He knows if it's a first down before they stretch the chains.

-Peyton Manning would never audible out of a play he's called.

-When he goes skeet shooting, he yells "Pull!" and the target explodes on its own.

-His par is one shot lower than everyone else's.

-His ERA is impressive even before you divide by total innings pitched.

-He once actually saw a hockey puck go into the net.

-He could determine a baseball team's magic number in preschool.

-If he wanted, he could invoke the mercy rule before the game even starts.

-He predicted the Dallas Mavericks would sweep the Los Angeles Lakers.

-He's never converted a 7-10 split -- because he's never needed to.

-In a track meet, he once lapped a competitor on the first lap.

-Hockey goalies fear him so much that every goal he scores is an empty-netter.

-He is so good at time management that he doesn't need to retire from sports so he can spend more time with his family.

-At bowling alleys, he corrects automatic pinsetters.

-When he sees "Breaking News" on the sports ticker, it's always something he already knows.

-His caddie asks him what club to suggest he should use.

-He catches fish without losing his worm.

-When he's on the ice, his team always is on the power play.

-His dart board has only the bull's eye.

-His "if necessary" games are never necessary.

-The youth baseball team he coached once had a six-run inning in a league with a five-run limit.

-If he wasn't busy on weekends, he would end Jimmie Johnson's championships streak.

-He knows why college baseball teams have coaches but professional teams have managers.

-He does P90X to warm up for and warm down after triathlons.

-Monday Night Football's ratings started declining when he stopped watching.

-He threw strikes even before Babe Ruth was dead.

-He tells the fat lady when to sing.

-When he goes bird hunting, he always bags his limit despite shooting with blanks.

-He pulled off a double steal by himself.

-He drafts himself in fantasy leagues.

-He can get the assist and score on the same play.

-Working by himself, he would have had the temporary seats in place in time for Super Bowl XLV.

GOKickball Registration

Yesterday, the captains from last winter got an email detailing the upcoming GOKickball season. Here's a summary of what it said:
  • Captains can register starting on June 7th (Tuesday). At that time they can send out their specific team password and begin filling up their rosters.
  • Registration for the general public opens up on June 14th.
  • The lights at Doc Nance have been fixed, so we will be playing there using the "Frank Layout" which held so much promise.
  • The 8-week season will begin August 25th, with the captains meeting on August 18th.
  • Sponsor bar will probably be Yard of Ale for another season.
  • Cost will once again be only $50 for ex-WAKA players ($55 for everyone else).  Your captain has the promo code or you can email myself or DPT.
  • Send all registration questions to Johnny at:  gokickball.tampa *at* gmail (.) com.
So go spread the word.  If you are worried that your captain is incompetent not capable of getting your team organized, let me know and we'll set you up with the "Mutiny Package."

We're all somewhat incompetent.
