VIP Room at Wings Gone Wild

So I think I've killed a brain cell or two from drinking (but hey its football season), but I remember someone asking me awhile ago if I planned on renting out the upstairs VIP room at Wings Gone Wild for the Alabama vs Florida game on Oct 2. Well I mentioned to this person that I'll be out of town that weekend but I can still reserve it for them.
So I have done just that and now I cant remember who requested the damn room.(Bull maybe??) Lol. So is there an interest of people wanting to use this VIP room this weekend? The owner has waived the $250 deposit that he normally requires and just asks that we spend that amount while you are up there. Given the size of the group that attends, that shouldn't be hard to achieve.
So if someone wants to remind me who I originally spoke to about this or if someone else wants to coordinate this from here and take the room, be my guest. I need to tell wings something soon so respond on here or talk to me more about it at the fields.
Go Gators.

ESPN's WAKA Gameday

Fowler - Sunrise on a Thursday and Tampa is berserk. The ToeJammers are on people's minds again, in the mix, back in the hunt for the title and today on the edge of madness with kickoff 11 hours away, one of the few worthy challengers Yeagabombs comes to town.

Announcer - Welcome to Waka Gameday, pouring drinks by MacDinton's

Fowler - I'm Chris Fowler alongside my colleagues Desmond Howard, Kirk Herbstreit and Lee Corso. It's a midseason week with several top teams playing bottom feeders so let's get right into your Upset Alerts.

Desmond - Dollar wells was tired of everybody having a 'Bye Week' when they played them. So they changed their name to that. New Name leads to a New Result. Bye Week (the old Dollar Wells) prevails.

Herbstreit - I think the Ligers defense will slow it down tonight and they pull a Shocking Upset.

Corso - Can you believe this? I Kick That upsets Balls N Dolls tonight. You better believe it.

Fowler - Around the landscape today, let's start off with I Need A Refill vs. Off Constantly

Desmond - I like I Need A Refill. I'm impressed by the way they have been playing the last couple of games. The Off Constantly offense is going to struggle vs. the solid I Need A Refill defense.

Corso - Not So Fast My Friend! I Need A Refill could use a couple more wins, but they don't get one tonight. Off Constantly wins and wins big!

Herbstreit - The Off Constantly offense is dynamic. They are the only bottom team that can score and beat you. Off Constantly gets it done tonight.

Fowler - Moving onto the Alcoballics vs. Brown Chicken Brown Cow

Herbstreit - The Alcoballics are a proven team and are on a Las Vegas mission. I think this will be a defense struggle and it's the Alcoballics offense that finds a way to win this game.

Corso - That's a good pick, a very good pick. The Alcoballics use a balanced offense backed by an outstanding defense. They won't be challenged tonight. No No, Not today.

Desmond - I also think it's a close game Coach and here is why. Last two week the Alcoballics scored 1 but allowed 7. They need some playmakers to step up. I think several step up tonight and it starts on offense. Alcoballics win

Fowler - On to our showcase game. ToeJammers vs. Yeagabombs

Desmond - I haven't been impressed with the Yeagabombs this season. There's no doubt about it, the ToeJammers Defense will play with their swag back causing trouble for the Yeagabombs offense. The ToeJammers prevail tonight.

Herbstreit - It's all about coming in and executing tonight. I think the Yeagabombs are able to get some big plays and despite the ToeJammers 2nd ranked defense in the conference, they explode offensively. However I also think the ToeJammers will make adjustments during the game to score runs with the Yeagabombs. This is going to be a tough game for both but I like the Yeagabomb defense to have more douche plays tonight. I think The Yeagabombs survive and win in a shootout under the lights.

Corso - Kirk, I give you a big NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND! I think it's a low scoring game and the defense leads the way. It's a classic matchup. You got the Yeagabombs Offense averaging 3.6 runs scored vs. the ToeJammers Defense averaging 2.4 runs allowed. Something’s got to give. And that something is right here; give me that Yeager machine, shot glasses and Flag. You kids shouldn't be drinking that, it’s bad for you. Ahhhh Get that stuff outta here (*** Yeager machine goes flying to ground***). Give me that Jheri Curl Wig and Soul-Glo hair product. ToeJammers win in a game that's close, this close.

Fowler - Enjoy your kickball Thursday

(The) Todd Had a Birthday Party; Rest of Team Stayed Home to Murder Kittens

Todd, the social butterfly of a notoriously cliquey and axe body sprayed Balls and Dolls team, was generous enough to host a high quality birthday party this past Friday. Sandwiches from Wright's Deli, keg, drinking games, and a quality PA system that led to both Bull and Ernie scaring every dog in a 10 block radius with live karaoke; all the ingredients were there for a memorable time. Todd, Rosey, and Chandler even broke out the guitars to provide the soundtrack. One thing was missing though, any member, other than Todd himself, of Balls and Dolls. Apparently the appeal of putting on the sequined t-shirt, applying some self tanner and mildly drugging the local talent at The Kennedy was too much for any of the fellas on Balls and Dolls to stop by the party. Hell, Todd's sister was there and she lives in Illinois. Bayshore was well represented though, a diverse group of kickballers were in attendance to hold a master class in drinking game execution.

As you can see from the break down, there was a college recruitment brochure level of diversity at the party. Unlike his teammates, Todd has the ability to socialize with other people and not instantly make them think "asshole". Man, is this guy on the wrong team. Here's a pie chart. Enjoy.
Well done Todd, thanks for hosting. Seriously, you should join a different team.

EDIT: Updated the attendance chart and added an extra one because I felt like it.

I heard the streaker from last season's tournament was going to be the pace setter. Just sayin'...

Week 5 Picks & Recap

So despite balloons, streamers and cake... MLoop did not show up for his Appreciation Week.  While it was a little disappointing and anticlimactic, I think most of the league had fun.  "I guess I'm not surprised.  Don't celebrities not show up to their events all the time? I think Paris Hilton does that a lot..." pondered Knowlton after the Ligers' game.

Oh well... maybe we just aren't that important.  :(

- So Griff went perfect (8-0) in the picks... and gets one drink from Caruso, who lost yet again with 4 incorrect guesses.  Good job, Bambi.

- Shocker Rob tells me that the Yeagabombs used they Douche Play against them (purposefully dropping an "infield fly").  Tisk tisk, Yeagabombs.  The ToeJammers and Tony haven't even done that this year.

That is all.

Remember kids...

Week 5 Picks

**CLOSED! Lots of people missed out this week.  Tisk tisk.**

The District of Columbia is now the second largest "state" in terms of traffic to DPT.  While I don't doubt that Obama checks the blog, he can not account for all the unique visitors we get on a daily basis.  So why the sudden increase from our Nation's Capital?

Could it be the WAKA brass are watching our community? They're stationed in DC... the birthplace of our great league.  If so... hi guys/girls!  Feel free to request posting rights or make comments (no rights required).

Here are the picks.  Get them in by 4pm on Thursday.
