Please enjoy the music, I am certain the Jammers come to mind BUT it is still funny to hear people's reaction to the level kickball is being taken, haha!

"An Atlanta area kickball team (kickball, so we’re talking extracurricular here – you know the teams where beer comes right after, if not during, the game?), went home with a 0-20 loss, and to say their coach was upset about it is the UNDERSTATEMENT of the year. Oh…and this was their first game. A “free agent” on the team sent Deadspin the letter, claiming that: …the team captain sent out this fantastically hostile email after the team’s first loss. I wasted $50 on signing up, but the entertainment value of this email is priceless. I redacted all of the names mostly because this is the only time in my life I foresee an opportunity to redact something. Sounds like somebody needs to find a way to work off that stress…maybe outside of organized sports. It’s just a game. *Cringe. Please don’t hurt us.*"


————— Forwarded message ————— From: [redacted] Date: Tue, Mar 29, 2011 at 11:31 PM Subject: Our game tonight To: [redacted] Let me ask a real simple question… What was that? Seriously, did you guys just think you could show up and win? That was pathetic. Again, pathetic. I know we kid around a lot and try to have fun and a good time, but what is the point if you guys aren’t even going to try? I can count several instances, and not to name names but I think I will this time just to get my point across… [redacted], are you just trying to show off your speed by letting the ball drop in front of you when you play the outfield so you can run and get it? joke. Do you not care? If you don’t care that is fine, but some of us do. [redacted], how about running out your kicks after they’re in play instead of just jogging down to first base as though it doesn’t matter. joke. you got very lucky the ref called you safe. you were out. [redacted], your obp% is the worst on the team. I thought you played before. [redacted], great pitching and defense… yeah right, I can count about 3 or 4 plays in my head where you just allow them, basically, to reach base and score, and you probably cost us 5 runs single handedly. great job dude. Some of you guys are striking out, others can’t catch a pop fly, others don’t even know which base to throw the ball to. Are you guys adults. Thought this was an adult kickball league, as in you act like adults and play the way you are supposed to. Do you want to play? I thought you joined this league to be competitive and win, but maybe I thought wrong. Tell ya what, if any of you guys are going to bring that lame shit out to field next week, why don’t you do us all a favor and just stay home and watch t.v. instead. Seriously, I am embarrassed to be a part of this. We LOST 20 – 0 tonight. That is a freaking joke. Again, I know we joke around and try to have fun, and I’m not trying to be Mr. Serious here, but that was not fun. I am not kidding, don’t come next week if you are going to act like a bunch of children out there. Thank you to the people who did try tonight: mainly [redacted], myself, [redacted], and [redacted]. and [redacted]. The rest of you better think about what I’m talking about unless you don’t care in which case we don’t want you coming out anyway. EFFING (Our edit – you know what it really says) JOKE

I think this is really an email Ruben sent the jammers after getting destroyed in a tournament game, he just ran it through DPT translate before posting it here....

RÜBS said...

wasn't me, we shun our players. there would have been no email.

Griff said...

I'm thinking an old Kicktease email with Jeanette running the show...

Or Quoc after Huge in Japan lost their first game in like, 6 seasons...

Robes said...

If you lose 20-0 your team really sucks. I don't think I've seen any team lose that bad in my kickball career.

Nate Dawg said...

There are some really bad teams in Kickball Society (or there were). Def seen some scores like that back when I was reffing and I'm not totally sure but the Red Rockets might have put up 20 on a team...

Chandler said...

That's because you play with us, and not the chumps in other leagues. But this brings up a good point...

TBCS and City of Tampa kickball routinely have games worse than 20-0. Last year I was involved in a 33-8 beatdown, and I think one game we scored over 40 in City of Tampa.

What about in "defensive" leagues like GKB, WAKA and Kickball Society?

KBS Sunday has scores of 25-0 and 22-0 in just their first two weeks this season. And since we left WAKA, the Bayshore division has posted a few scores of 20+ to zero.

Griff said...

Bet if CJ had been pitching (First half of GKB Spring) it wouldn't have been such a beat down...

Griff said...

And yes, our Stanky Legz team has beaten teams worse than that on a few occasions in KBS.....

Shockers came close against HBHT...17-1 I think.
