GOKickball Gameday - Week 4



Reece - The Ligers are off to their best start since Chandler resigned the Captaincy and are fighting for the regular season title. Liger Blue is all the rage, but green has been a thorn in their side. The Ligers gear up for You Look Like tonight as we get ready to party in Tampa.

Announcer - Welcome to GoKickball Gameday, pouring drinks by Yard Of Ale

Reece - Once again we are pleased to be back at DeSoto Park. I'm Reece Davis here with Dick Vitale, Digger Phelps and Jay Bilas. Plenty of games on the slate today, let's get started with your Upset Alerts.

Digger - Now Dickie V, you picked these guys the last 3 weeks for an upset and were wrong. I'll show you how to pick upsets. Sooner or later Guys, Dolls and Balls will get their first W. I think that comes tonight at the expense of Thee Beer Nuts. Now I also heard Thee Beer Nuts will spot Guys, Dolls and Balls 1 second in the chug off for every 10 years of Kickball experience they have. Even with a 5 minute head start, Guys, Balls & Dolls fails to win the chug off but gets payback on the field.

Bilas - Jacked Up can run and kick, but tonight is when they finally play defense and as a team. I think Jacked Up will pressure the ToeJammers on the base paths tonight and play solid defense to get a statement win tonight.

Vitale - Honey Badger Hit That is a much different team on both sides of the ball then their parts were last year. I think they upset The Shockers in a close exciting game down to the wire.


Reece - Let's get started with Alcoballics vs. Pitches Be Crazy.

Bilas - Pitches Be Crazy gets the win tonight in a wild fun game and puts them one step closer towards their goal. Being the inaugural winners of the Chalice of Others.

Vitale - I like The Alcoballics in this game. I think Pitches Be Crazy plays to the level of their competition and will struggle with lesser teams. Pitches Be Crazy opened with one of the toughest schedules but will suffer a letdown game tonight. 

Digger - To me Pitches Be Crazy is the one team that got things going their way. I think they will continue their winning streak tonight vs. a fading Alcoballics team.


Reece - If not for an injury and a 1-1-1 start to the season we would be talking about Superbad vs. Growlers as the game of the week and possible title game preview. How do you see this one?

Vitale - There is an opportunity for the Growlers to win, but I like Superbad tonight. They play like a team. The key is getting off to a good start and not struggle late as they did last week.

Digger - I think Superbad is overrated. I think the Growlers are the better team this season and will earn a hard, hard fought victory tonight. That will send Superbad off to their worst start at 1-2-1 and there could be grumblings about Frank being replaced as coach.

Bilas - I look at this game as a turning point for both teams, as a game to give the winner the momentum edge as we get closer to the tournament and makes the point this is a team no one wants to play. With that said I like Superbad in this game. Robert's injury is a lot for the growlers to overcome. In time they will, but this is a really dangerous Superbad team. Superbad earns the win.


Reece - And now for our showdown game. Ligers vs. You Look Like. Break it down for us and make you selection.

Digger - The Ligers are going to get lost on the field tonight. You Look Like are 3-0 vs. the Ligers with a combined score of 14-1. You Look Like are going to be a top seed. They win easily tonight.

Bilas - The Ligers are a tougher team this year. They are better on offense and defense. They will surprise You Look Like tonight and improve to 4-0.

Vitale - This team now has the depth and is better with a go to guy in the clutch. They also have the support of some of the craziest fans in kickball. You want to see how crazy? Listen to this. The Ligers will feed off that excitement and take You Look Like out to the woodshed tonight. Now let’s go into Ligerville!!!!



Reece - Enjoy your kickball Thursday
