SidearmGate 2013 and more

Alright, what is the deal with the side arm call?! Is it a dead ball or ball ball because Robes got called on it in a crucial play in our game and I stopped playing because I thought it was a dead ball and I know some other people did too.  Same thing happened during the PBC-Superbad game - and then all of a sudden Nate announces (per Johnny I believe) that now all side arm calls would be dead balls - in the middle of the game lol.  I don't personally care one way or another - I just want to know what the damn rule is.

In other news, I talked with some OAFers last night at the bar (who went ALL out with the easter theme btw - fuckers!) and they told me they had a team party last weekend during which they discovered the blog and spent 30 minutes reading. Conclusion: they think we're all assholes and have vowed to get access to the blog to defend themselves against the hate we (mostly I) bestow upon them.

Somehow THEE Beer Nuts managed to tie us last night. Unfortunately they lost a great player as their dude with that awesome orange bubble jacket got sniped on his way to first base and tore his achilles tendon (OUCH). PBC crushed Supa like 8-3 or something and Ballics completely annihilated OAF 14-1 . Ligers squeaked away 2-1 over FreeBallers.  Griff told me at one point they had bases loaded with no outs and couldn't manage to score (different kind of ouch). Deeks was an asshole, Souder was a lazy sonofa, Ligers had a theme game, E-Flo ripped a shit ton of cigs and I was a crazy Hispanic - pretty standard Thursday night!

Quote of the night
Justin, as Deeks run towards him to catch a pop up that is between them, DEAD SERIOUSLY: "You're scaring me"

Congrats to Roger from PBC for a perfect set of Picks! Technically you win drinks from Paul and CJ but more likely you win nothing. Happy Friday!

My bad - Roger did NOT have a perfect set of Picks - shoulda had more confidence in your team!

Picks Week 5

Do it. Or don't. *shrug*sulk*whine*


Alright, looks like Alison and Rferlopes (sorry dude, don't know your name) "owe some drinks". But I could be wrong, I did this in like 3 mins. I'm not even really sure who won the games.

OC Update

Because it was requested by the Queen, here goes the OC update.

WAKA has something like 23 teams this Spring, so they've decided to set up two more or less divisions: fun and competitive.  Of course, the OC is in the competitive one because fun is for bitches (but fun. is for everyone because some of their stuff is freaking groundbreaking, man) and the OC can't suffer any bitches.

The competitive division is extremely competitive.  The Seminoles are living up to their reputation as being great at kickball and some of them being dickheads.  Most Tuesday night teams that have any kickball ability are at least partly populated by dickheads.  Barbara Balters of a couple summers ago was rife with them, but they seem to have mostly toned it down now.  They're also pretty good at kickball.

The Shockers are playing really well, and we started off hot before throwing away the game against the Seminoles with two run scoring errors (we lost 2-1).  Then we won 2-1 against a pretty poor Ty team, and it looks like the old OC offense might be coming back, and our defense isn't where it was during our last championship run (Fall '11, with Jack from OC the captain, btdubs).

Lots of roster turnover this year and attendance isn't what it used to be.  Perhaps league jumping has taken its toll on the team after our 4th league change in the last two years?  Either way, I think we're all aging, or maybe it's just me, and losing interest.  Speaking of losing interest, noonebeatsoc.com is pretty much shut down.  We let the domain name lapse, so now it's just the .blogspot.com I assume.  Hopefully one day we'll have enough time to make MSPaints and animated GIFs again, but right now that just ain't happening.

I got a puppy, though, so that's pretty cool.  Here's a pic because she's awesome and a little while back got wasted* at Estela's (not really, it was at 220 and the photo op just happened in front of Estela's):


The competitiveness of the league (and apparent lack of competition in GKB this season) has me hankering for a Tampa Championship.  I'll keep y'all updated on the progress of my tournament baby, and you be on the lookout for an invite.

Your former best friend,

Jack from Off Constantly

PS At the WAKA meet and greet party, they gave us name tags and told us to write our names and team names on it.  My name tag was the best.  

*No dogs were actually inebriated for this post.

Growlers-PBC Recap and Other Thoughts

-As predicted, Deeks hit a HR (and some other guy did too - congrats other guy!) but an 11-person Growler squad put up 8 for the win

-Other guy locked his keys in his car at Stoneys before the game and had to get his mom to come to the fields to drop off a spare (thanks other guy's mom!)

-Deeks is still trying to figure out if he is going to be a real asshole or a fake asshole.  This is evidenced by him intentionally knocking over my full cup of beer twice for no reason when no one even saw/noticed but me (hilarious...?) but buying me a beer at YOA afterwards

-YOA was extra fun last night. The bar was packed with kickballers and non kickballers alike

- OC is 2-1 (before last night) in WAKA. I wonder how they are liking it over there. JW, Beardface, where you at?

-Where the fuck is Johnny with his Commish answers? Johnny, when you wake up in 3 hours will you please oblige the 7 people that read this blog?

Are people really bitching about not having power rankings after no one commented on them last week?

Picks Week 3

Submissions were lacking last week. I'll continue to be in denial that the blog is dying and chalk it up to me posting them Wednesday afternoon.

So here they are earlier - don't let me down!!
