OK, here's my first stab at picks...


TBN v. GBD
Nate puts extra Metamucil in GBD’s beers and they hobble off to the bathrooms. Without any GBD players to field a team, TBN takes the W…because that’s the only way they can get one.

Shockers v. HBHT
Shockers win this one easily but it’s ok bc that one hot chick from HBHT still dominates karaoke at YOA afterwards…or is she on Jacked Up – can anyone tell the difference?

Jacked v. Jammers
Jammers take this one easy bc, as I’ve already addressed, I have no idea about Jacked up. Not sure what the subway thing is all about but insert something about that here too.

Superbad v. Growlers
It’ll be close but I gotta go with my Growlers. We’ve put Grumpy Growler on Prozac and are actually doing a theme game so hopefully there will be less fighting than the Supa/Shockers game last week.

YLLINAD v. Ligers
Ligers have been up and down, beating a reigning Superbad and then almost losing to HBHT last week. I’m gonna take Ligers here but I’m not really sure why.

Ballics v. PBC
Pitches continues to roll…all over the ‘ballics. Yikes, that was bad. This commentary thing is harder than it looks!

Chandler said...

That was some pretty damn good (and feisty) commentary. Especially the TBN prediction.

Jess said...

Yea, I'm probably going to have to sleep on the couch tonight for that one

Jess contributes. Jess gets her picture on the contributors gallery. so does Natalie, Alison, you know, other chicks....
DPT is turning into a big sausage fest, and we need to bring in the Hots Chicks, then the rest will follow. D10 knows that, why can't Chandler and Souder get it.. Duh. That's why DPT is dying a slow death. Now add chicks' pics to the contributors gallery or continue your demise.

"This commentary thing is harder than it looks!"

That's what she said.

Sorry.

Chandler said...

Todd... we've always defined "contributions" as posts. Not comments.

Natalie saying "I want _____'s picks" eight times per season isn't really a contribution.

Beer Testicles - I have to ref this game, so I'm not looking forward hearing the main old guy with glasses argue every ball and strike (again). Oh well... Beer Nuts win because their dudes finally figure out how to kick a ball into the outfield.

Tesla Coils - This will be close and I wouldn't be surprised if HBHT pulls the upset. That being said... nobody on HBHT can kick it far enough for Jim to run into the soccer goal. Purple wins.

Subway Jammers - For those of you who don't understand all the Subway talk... Ruben posted this gem on Subway's Facebook page:

nothing like racking up 274 points and deciding today, i eat for free ONLY to be denied my free sub because my card is unregistered EVEN THOUGH the last franchise who updated and transferred me to new card said it was good to go. SO F you for developing a system that can TAKE MY MONEY and APPLY points to the card BUT NOT REIMBURSE. HOW COINCIDENTAL...PS I love the alternative of throwing my food away, well played. GREAT message to send to a customer who you see pretty much everyday, ill take you money any day when its my turn to fork over your loyalty, meh, its going into the trash. Subway you suck. I am sure this comment will be taken down or unanswered because your customer service BLOWS! I know this because I have dealt with them in the past and the apathy in which they handle complaints is I am sure reflective of the fact you developed a system to take cash but not reward it. If you were on your job, the points should not have been allowed on unless it was registered or whatever BS i got today NOT after the fact, again GREAT EXECUTION...and further more the lack of latitude to recognize a REPEAT customer and handling at the store level and instead throwing the food away, AWESOME. Top notch dkholes. dear nine friends i see share this like, ANY DAY you want Subway, call me and I will take you out to lunch elsewhere. Thank you.

Enough said. Jammers win angry.

Supa - No way they go three games in a row without a win. Of course, I said that about two games. But whatever. Frank gets it done.

YLLINaD - If they show up with a full team, they'll win. The Ligers have never beaten YLL.

PBC - Game of the week in my opinion. It's a toss-up, and now that I've actually picked PBC, Deeks' will probably let me down and blow the game.

Litman said...

TBN pushes the old peoples wheel chairs around the bases and keeps them winless.
Shockers over Honey Badgers. Honey Badgers might have a girl missing this week because I knocked her soul into orbit last week.
Jammers. Hair gel was on sale and Ruben's mojo is back.
Super Bad plays music and dances to victory.
Ligers. Nuff said.
PBC. I still owe Deeks a beer and he's pissed off.

JD said...

Nuts over Guys & Balls......The chug off should be exciting, the game will not be. Experience in kickball beats experience in life.

Shockers over Honey Badgers. Honey Badgers can sing, but as Alicia has proven for years, it means nothing in kickball.

TJ's over Jacked. TJ's squeeze in an ass-kicking in between their 3 hours of practice.

SuperBad over Growlers....Frank is called safe at first by Shocker Rob on a close play, but is overruled by the home plate ref. Frank loses his shit and kills the ref. Johnny walks over and has no fucking clue if it is illegal to kill so he decides to replay the inning. Frank kicks a weak ground ball, but the Growlers let him round the bases because they don't want to deal with his crazy ass. SuperBad wins.

YLLINAD over Ligers.....No reason other than I don't want to live in a universe where both the Ligers and PBC are 4-0.

PBC over Alcoballics....Tough call on this one. They have to deal with Teneille, but we have to deal with Alicia. We have Asians, they have Asians. It's 8:30, so most our our team will be drunk, but it will be past Gorecki's bed time. We have a lot of internal issues because Josh is hell-bent on killing Alicia's dog, but we're professionals, so we'll overcome.

Litman said...

Who still eats at Subway anyways? Publix subs blow them out of the water. Even Fire House or freaking Panara would top Sub Way for me.

DaPitchMan said...

Pitches is due for a loss, tonight could be it

Alison said...

THEE Beer Nuts v. Guys, Balls & Dolls
These two teams will be almost indiscernible against each other as they both wander the sidelines and infield not sure where they are supposed to be or if they are supposed to be fielding or kicking. GB&D takes their Aricept and the Nuts crush some brews to get everyone back on track. TBN wins at kickball but GB&D blows everyone away in the robe and slipper attire competition.

Shockers v. Honey Badgers Hit That
I have yet to see the Shockers play this season but I still know they’ll beat HBHT.

Jacked Up v. ToeJammers
Last week I thought I’d hit 88mph and gone back in time because the Jammers were killing it against the Growlers leading to a 9-0 shutout. Even if Doc and Marty stay home this week and don’t bring us more of the Jammers from years gone by the 2012 Jammers still won’t have any problem with Jacked up.

SuperBad v. Growlers
I think this match-up will be GOTW. Shockers and HBHT are reffing this game so I hope they have their shiz together! I can’t blame Frank for getting upset about a disputed call, I did the same thing last week in the Ballics game to a well-known volunteer ref (Hi Chan!). If Frank makes commentary this week maybe he’ll chime in on the issue but I doubt he’s still as mad about it by now. Frank has 16 days left before he boogies down the aisle, leaving him in a good mood. With that effusive butterfly smile SuperBad is back to their fun-loving wayz helping them to defeat the Growler grumps.

You Look Like I Need A Drink v. Ligers
The Ligers made some good off-season acquisitions and are a decent team now. YLLINAD seems to have calmed down since HotGirlGate last season and I see them hanging out at the bar more. Even so…the Ligers still won’t be able to get their lips around the bases fast enough to catch up with YLL’s asses….YLLINAD wins.

Alcoballics v. Pitches Be Crazy
I think this may actually prove to be a closer game than is currently predicted. Last week was approximately the third time in my history of making pics that I’ve picked against the Ballics. I’m pretty sure I’ve never been right, leaving me with an 0-3 record for picking against us. That being said, I’m doing it again. I really want my streak to continue and I’ll happily buy drinks if this is the game that puts me in that position. If we lose, as is strongly favored, then I might get beers. This is a win-win. Alcoballics for life!!!

Chandler said...

Damn, Noble. Growlers haven't been grumpy in awhile and YLL hasn't gone to the bar since week 1.

Stop living in the past.

PS... Russ is still out.

Rollo said...

Same as litman

Alison said...

CB, even one of their own mentioned the Grumpy Growler. I like the Growlers and I've gotten a chance to socialize with them much more as of late. Even so, I've read the ShoutBox recently and have seen the apple snail, Knowlton, heyday references. If DPT is living in the past then it seems like I'm in good company.

I saw some YLL'ers there last week. No one said they'd graduated to Ballic lever bar greatness.

SAFE!!! And we allllllll know it. Even the spectators. They were being very spyeeeeeeee.

Nate Dawg said...

TBN over GDB
Actually we are very close to forfeiting but I hope we will have just enough people and everyone knows the less people you have the better you play. TBN puts up double digits tonight.

Shockers over HBHT
This one is closer than most would think, esp if HBHT's pitcher throws nasty shit to the girls like he did against the Ligers.

Jammers over Jacked Up
Ruben never gets into the game as he is busy blogging about JCPenny's return policy but no matter the Jammers win easily as they show they are the team that many of us thought they were at the beginning of the season.

Superbad over Growlers
The lose of Robert looms over the Growlers as they get trampled two straight weeks. Frank is back to having a good time and forgets about his sideline ref beef since Superbad is winning again.

Ligers over Green team
I'm sticking with black on the roulette table when I should really think about switching to red...

PBC over Ballics
Deeks and co continue the stellar play to go from the "fun" team to the "competitive" team. Gorecki continues to drop balls...Rumor has it the Ballics have a secret weapon for this week but I dont think it will help them in kickball.

Natalie said...

I'll take Litman's picks.

Nate Dawg said...

PS - I agree with Chan Russ was out...we wear the same prescription

FRANK said...

TBN
SHOCK
JAM
SUP
YLL
PBC

IM OUT

Griff said...

Well all the great commentary this week has inspired me to contribute again. And who knows, if I win free drinks I may actually make it out to our sponsor bar too!

Beernuts v. Guys, balls, dolls:

Just when you thought TheeBeerNuts was ready to take their success to the next level this season, TheeBeerShits happens. Fortunately some Imodium was prescribed this week in the form of Guys, Balls, Dolls, Walls, Halls, Falls, Calls…etc. TBN wins.

Shockers v. honey badgers hit that:

Shockers need a pick-me-up (remember them??) game and look who saunters into town. The Badgers haven’t hit much this season, so there’s not much to comment on here. Shockers win.

Toejammers v. Jacked Up:

Suffering from “Need a Reuben Now Syndrome”, or N.R.N.S.?? Come try Ruben’s Reuben’s! --- Our new Anti-Subway campaign slogan AND quite possibly the 10th business name to add to Ruben’s email signature…sorry Arby's we're stealing your ad. Soul Glo wins.

Club Superbad v. Growlers:

Dim the lights and break out the Fist Pump…Club Supa is in town, complete with bumpin music, (jello) shot girls, and an angry bouncer. Poor Growlers fans… Jim Irsay INSISTS that last week’s performance isn’t the beginning of the end for Robes’ career in Indy-errr GoKickball. Supa wins.

YLLINAD v. Ligers:

Contender or Pretender matchup. Between the Ligers’ insistence on mediocrity and a dejected DPT admin’s cries for blog contributions, Big Blue doesn’t big blow anymore. They’ve always had a stout defense, their scrappy offense finds a way to win, and they aren’t bad at flip cup either. Kinda resembles the humble beginnings of another charter team…one that wore DAISY yellow…uh oh! Danger! Danger! Lose now! Restore balance to the Axis of Loveable Losers! Ligers will struggle against their pitcher...YLLINAD wins (a close one).

DeekSweat v. Alcoballics:

Watching PBC work the Shockers last week, I saw two highlights: 1.) Dude-Shocker crashing into that soccer goal and 2.) The hot “little sister” chick on the Shockers crashing into The Wall of DeekSweat ™ as she attempted to head to 2nd base. This move by Deeks was both tragic AND inspiring. He could be an innovator. And she could be stained for life (see what I did, Rubs?). All this being said, I think PBC has too much firepower for the Ballics, despite a Trini in spandex and a Jamaican in gloves. Justin’s play at catcher could be the difference here though. PBC wins.

DeekSweat...IRL!!!!
