TBN over Jacked up- Jacked up has allowed 21 runs this season, nuff said.
JAMMERS over Ballics- Jammers win but still go out in the first round of the tournament.
LIGERS over Shockers- Ligers shock 'em.
GDB picks up their first victory over the Honey Badgers who have only scored 5 runs this season. That isn't good.
SUPER BAD over abcdefg- I think Super Bad is better.
PBC over the Growlers- PBC and the Ligers match up in week 11... it will be a battle of the undefeated teams going into the tournament.

TBN over Jacked up- The current holder of the BeerJam belt gets a win solely because Jacked up's pitcher takes a solid 27-32 seconds to pitch a kickball and doesn't give his team enough time to score enough runs to beat TBN.

TJs over Ballics- The old timers win in quick fashion because when they get the 630 time slot, the TJs know they will be at home rubbing IcyHot on the aching muslces and in bed by 9pm, does anyone on the team besides Hess go to the bar???

Ligers over shockers- my favorite color is blue.

HBHT over GBD- haven't played either team or seen either play, but i heard GBD is filled with a bunch of old guys, that equals a loss.

Supa over YLLINAD- fuck the green team for having such a long name...

Growlers over PBC- i can't see the Growerls losing 3 in a row, they come out shit hot on offense and Deeks cant kick everytime for PBC.

Chandler said...

Beer Testicles - Fast Fucker scores the only run, since this game will probably last 3 innings.

Space Jamz - Gorecki isn't here to defend himself. But Teneille is... so she steps up in his absence and causes 82 errors. Russ gets thrown out at home plate.

Shockers - Ligers are due for a loss. We can't keep winning with the amount of fielding and base-running errors we've had.

GB&D - Depends on which HBHT team shows up. Last week they didn't have any dudes. GB&D aren't horrible, so they'll get the W.

Supa - YLLININALEIFN's lead-off guy gets tired of carrying the team. Steph pops out three times into the clouds... where Frank's head is (probably searching for Florian). Supa wins big.

Growlers - Hard to believe the black team isn't dominating. They'll win a close one now that Ginger is swinging for the fences every at-bat.

I just don't have time this week, maybe next week.

I figured it's about time for me to stop lurking and join the picks.

Thee Beer "Guts" fall asleep waiting for pitches and get shut out. Jacked Up Wins

TJs mix a potent concoction in the bug sprayer, & the Ballics fail to take the warnings given by the trouser snake. Toe Jammers win easily

Shockers stop messing around and the girls come prepared to take "2nthepink-1nthestink". Only 1 problem, Ligers have all thumbs...Shockers try to find some "soul-glow" but fail and get torn to shreds.

Guys, Dolls, & Balls are no match for a Honey Badger. BUT.....HBHT have cobra for lunch and pass out....GD&B win by forfeit

Superbad wins by default since You Look Like I Could Slap You in the Face for Having Such a Long Team Name wears green. Superbad plays like a bunch of little gold hungry leprechaun's to get the victory

Pitches Be Crazy continue the winning ways even with Capt. Dave on hiatus. I feel like Asian persuasion mixed with Ginger, & Deek sweat is the receipe for victory. Growlers remain grounded.

Litman said...

Todd, good commentary.

JD said...

Nuts d Jacked Up......Haven't seen Jacked Up play, so guessing Beer Nuts will handle their business.

TJ's d Alcoballics.....All of the practice is paying off. TJ's are on a roll and they have enough white men to keep Teneille distracted.

Shockers d Ligers.....I appreciate Litman's confidence, but no way we both go 10-0. Jayda and Paige get into massive brawl that lasts for 25 minutes because no one has any interest in stopping it.

Guys & Balls over Honey Badgers....Haven't seen these teams play either because Johnny's a dick and gave us a tough schedule early. Honey Badgers seem awful.

SuperBad over YLLINAD....SuperBad will beat them, have more fun playing, and socialize with other teams.

Growlers over PBC.....You're only as strong as your weakest link, so Alicia has led us to 4-0. If Justin kicks another grand slam, he will be unbearable to deal with.

Nate Dawg said...

Nuts blow a huge load all over Jacked...oh wait its Jacked Up. Well either way TBN wins.

The Ballics got destroyed last week on field 2...it is possible that the Jammers will put up more runs on them than the Shockers did last week. Jammers win huge.

I'm probably going to get a lot of shit for this at home but just like I picked Duke to lose to Baylor I gotta think realistically here and go with the Shockers to win a tight one over the Ligers.

GBD gets their first kickball win and leaves HBHT as the only winless team in the league. GBD isnt as old and weak as everyone is saying as we have actually played them. But just looking at the numbers HBHT cannot score runs so they will go down.

Supa wins a defense battle over You look like you need a new team name 2-1. Frank comes to the bar. Everything in the world makes sense.

Deeksweat defeats a Growler everytime. PBC keeps their amazing streak alive and eliminates themselves from contention of the Chalice of something or other...

Jess said...

TBN v. Jacked
TBN starts a winning streak. It’ll be short lived as PBC takes them down next week. Key word there being *short*

Ballics’ v. Jammers
We definitely time warped this season because Jammers are back to their dominating ways. Guess that Subway situation really got Ruben fired up. If only everyone got that inspired by sammies

Shockers v. Ligers
I successfully picked Ligers in a semi-upset last week. I’m not pressing my luck. Shockers FTW

GBD v. HBHT
For a buncha geezers, GBD really isn’t that bad. They get their first W tonight

Superbad v. YLL
This will be a close one, but as long as Supa continues putting HRs on the board (they got 2 against us last week) and that girl who leads off continues to be a professional soccer player then Supa rolls over YLL

PBC v. Growlers
I picked my team for an upset last week and was wrong so for that reason I’m going to with PBC here. That, and I want nothing to do with Deeksweat… *shudder*

I've been told that having a non-functioning computer is no excuse for not making pics with commentary, so I will try to do this on my phone while IT is working on my computer.

TBN- I don't think I've ever seen Jacked Up play (honestly, I'm not even sure who they are). TBN has been playing since kickball since the stone age, so I see this as an easy win for them.

TJ- My insider knowledge tells me Yella is making a killer drink this week. I think that makes all the difference in this game. He gets the Alcos drunk in the pregame, causing lots of dropped balls.

Shockers- Ligers are cute and cuddly. They can't stay undefeated forever.

GDB- Close call for this game. GDB is a cool team to hang out with and they almost beat the Ballics. I know nothing about The Honey Badgers.

YLLINaD- Superbad are the defending Champs and apparently everyone thinks this makes them better. I'm sure I'll owe a million beers because of this pick.

PBC- They have Deeks, and Deeks is awesome.

There you go, DPT.

Chandler said...

Damn! Deeks has groupies! Or... groupie. Whatever.

Nate Dawg said...

It all starts with one Chan...

Justin "G" said...

Deeks has groupie as long as he doesn't sweat on them.

JD said...

I have feelings.

TBN v. Janked Up – Last week Janked Up looked better than their record suggested…for the first 2 innings. TheeBeerNates can  make it two in a row if they can stave off a royal collapse themselves. Tell their pitcher he doesn’t have to wait for signals from the catcher…or you know, just mock him and stuff. TBN wins

Soul Glo v. ‘Ballics – Ponce De Leon will be out on expedition this week…coincidentally reports also suggest Trini is out too. Is it time to reactivate the terminator yet?? Soul Glo wins

Shockers v. Ligers – Well last week Big Blue showed they were in fact contenders...sorta.  But this week Purple Rain is in town, and The Artist Formerly Known as Rob’s Hair will surely have some offensive schemes drawn up to expose the vaunted Liger-D. Such as: 1. Kick it to Ninja. 2. Kick it to T-H-T (Tree- Hugger-Todd)…the now-infamous photograph of him parading around in the Shocker costume kinda makes him your mascot, ergo your ally.  3. Kick it to Ninja again, because like many ninjas, his functions include espionage, sabotage, infiltration, and assassination. He cannot be trusted.  I’m gonna stick around and watch this one…. Game of The Week. shockers win

GB&D v. HBHT – Unknown State versus Who Knows Tech. Same reason I don’t get into filling out brackets for 68 freakin’ schools for March Madness…gB&D win

Supa v. You Look Like We Need Some Practice – YLLWNSP really disappointed last week…composure was lost, and now the season may be. Wearing green won’t bring any luck this week, but I’m sure Club Supa will be offering 2-4-1 Irish Car Bomb (jello) shots all night long. Hardly any Flo references anymore….odd. Supa wins

Deeksweats v. Yeaga’s – Growlers…you’re looking at the back side of a .500 record after tonight and your season is about to go spiraling out of control. Bring back the Safety Orange and the old Yeaga-swagger to turn it around next week…we’ll miss your intentional walks during tourney time. Gin-Sanity sweeps through the league for yet another week. PBC wins

Nate Dawg said...

If Deeks gets DeeksSweat on them then they become more than a groupie they become his stalker and cannot get enough...

Fat Kid said...

i want to bottle some DeekSweat and use it as some cologne....

FRANK said...

Awesome commentary this week.

No dice on my part. Busy as hell with wedding and work stuff.

TBN
Jam
Shock
GBD
SUPA
PBC

Once the wedding and honeymoon is over, I will bring back the shit talk.

Alison said...

Meeting ran way late so only very brief notes on the game tonight—can’t even be called commentary.

THEE Beer Nuts v. Jacked Up
Beer Nuts gonna jack some peeps up tonight!!!

Alcoballics v. ToeJammers
I’m going with the Ballics tonight. This is mostly due to the point that Christian made in his commentary. None of those jokers go to the bar!!! Hess and Ruben show up every now and again, but for the most part they are going to Gaspar’s in Temple Terrace to hang with Kickball Society people. Lame. Also, the Ballics are known to cause up upset or two in their time. Maybe one will happen tonight. ALCOBALLICS!!!

Shockers v. Ligers
I predict a close game. Ligers are much improved this season but I’m hedging my bets against them tonight.

Guys, Balls & Balls v. Honey Badgers Hit That
I agree with the majority that GBD will get their first win tonight. They aren’t terrible. Just old.

SuperBad v. You Look Like I Need A Drink
Could prove to be a close game but I’m going with Supa. Frank seemed to be having fun last week and that’s what I like to see. He was so free.

Pitches Be Crazy v. Growlers
Pitches Be Crazy is bringing their DeekSweat and Justin is bringing the pot o’ gold from his people. The Growlers just can’t defend against that.
