Today is a good day to recap…so…let’s think about
Things I’ve learned in kickball:
1-­‐The field is where douchebags are made
2-­‐The bar is where hookups begin
3-­‐Extendz grows more than…still not sure why a kickballer is watching and buying that. We all have needs. I
don’t juge
4-­‐Barian’s CC buys me really cute sh!t.
5-­‐A kickballer has had experience with the “first one”…Then drove 5 hours to see her bf. I hope she dresses up
for waka shame. I’ll just keep that one an inside joke. Booze on First—I HEART Y’ALL!!
6-­‐Kickball is a great place to ignore everything happening in life and have fun with new and old friends.
7-­‐You actually gain weight playing a sport…beer = yum-­‐o! calories burned vs calories stored =boo!
8-­‐This season in Plano is definitely one of my favorites. Now only if this group was the one to experience White
Trash Prom (Caucasian Debris for you PC folks)…amazing
9-­‐Tutu’s make me feel pretty
And…drum roll please
10-­‐i heart using the GMOT as advertisement to get massages. Point for me!
So, if y’all have comments, suggestions, concerns, etc, please email me, find me at the bar, the fields, stalk me
on facebook, stalk me at my house…but they are always welcome.

Raven
VP & Rules Guru
10.07 Base Running on Overthrows;
a. an overthrow is a ball thrown, kicked, or deflected into foul territory while making a
defensive play toward a player or base;
b. a runner may advance only one base beyond the base the runner is on or running toward
when the ball travels into foul territory;
c. one base on an overthrow is a restriction on the runner – not an automatic right for the
runner to advance;
d. if any fielder attempts to make an out prior to returning the ball to the pitcher, runners may
commence base
running.
Rule Breakdown!!!
An overthrow is a when the ball lands in foul territory after thrown by a fielder. It can occur,
when the ball is thrown/kicked/deflected while making a defensive play such as; throwing out a
runner at first, or throwing out a runner at 3 rd , or trying to hit someone with the ball. An
overthrow does not include balls that are deflected into other fair territory, the outfield.
When an overthrow occurs, the fielding team can throw the ball back in to make a defensive
play or return the ball immediately to the pitcher. Once the ball is returned to the pitcher, the
ref will stop the forward motion of the runners at the according bases. They must stop at the
base they were actively running to at the time of the overthrow, plus 1. The running through
first base does NOT count as an active move to 2 nd . If you make a defensive throw, instead of
to the pitcher, the offense can continue traveling the bases until the ball is returned to the
pitcher.
As said in 10.07 C, the overthrow is only a restriction to the runner NOT an automatic base,
the runner most stop at the restricted base, but can still be tagged out if they are still
headed to the base when the ball comes back into play. If a team attempts to get one of these
runners out, then the play reverts back to a normal play, and the base runners can advance.
Any questions/comments/concerns let me know!!!

Red Balls and Vodka vs Balled & Beautif3l: B&B had a spotless record till last week when Jersey
Score finally broke their shut out r3n…but RB&V is st@ong and ready to go long. B&B will be
seeing red aſter this loss.
Booze on First vs Suck My Kick: Our 2 middle ranked teams face off…one with a 1-­‐2 record and
the other a 1-­‐1-­‐1. I think BoF is looking for a comeback aſter last week’s embar@assing loss…
Swiſt Kickin’ the Balls vs Jersey Score: SKtB has proven to be a st@ong team this season, Jersey
Score’s fist pump is geQing weaker…
Brew’s Your Daddy vs Balls to the Wall: I never see Brews having brews aſter games, do you? I
think the teams that parVW together, win together…Balls for the W!
LongBallers vs TITS: TITS just can’t get a win no maQer how hard they t@W. LB has won everW
game, they keep the flow going this week.
Drinkers With a Kicking Problem vs Fighting Pacifists: FP are by far the f3nnest team on the
field but DWKP will dist@act them with their multi colored shirVs!

WAKA!
TIME FOR THEME NIGHT…!
TONIGHT TONIGHT TONIGHT!! !
September 22 nd is “WAKA Shame” night wear your !
best “morning after” outfits!!!! !

Setup:
§
§
Set up 6 cup beer pong on 4 corners of the table. A square table works best.
Re-rack rules for the Beer Pong portion of the game to be decided and agreed
upon before commencing play.
Play:
• Each team has two players, set up at opposite corners
of table. One ball each team.
• Team members alternate beer pong throws until one
shooter sinks a ball in their team members cup.
• You may use your body as a back stop but not
your hands or arms.
• Team member then removes sunk cup, drinks
beer and flips cup until lands on rim.
• Once cup is properly flipped and landed, team member commences with normal
beer pong until the next cup is made.
• The team to sink and flip all their cups first is the WINNER!!

The B&B brought their pumped up kicks last night and spanked Jersey Shore like a Principal wielding a wooden paddle
in the 80s before corporal punishment was banned. Kerri strolls in with her "boom box" on her right shoulder and
pops in the tunes that will surely annoy the Jack Carter Park neighbors who are already perturbed that they have to
keep fishing kick balls out of their pool every Friday morning.
Emily yanks the Red Bull IV out of her left arm and marches off to retrieve Dan who has made himself comfy in the
Running Back position at the Pee-­‐Wee football practice field while Erin gets a conscience and quietly replaces the mini
pom poms she stole from the pee wee cheerleaders while they were away taking their apple juice and orange slices
break.
BandB immediately starts oozing some sort of caffeinated energy out of their pores and start loading people up on
base.like if the bases were a potato it would have had butter, sour cream, cheese, chives AND bacon. mmm, I'm
hungry. With a full house Roy is up to kick. He goes all in and sends Mason home. Randi is next up. She kicks up a nice
one and sends Chives, er Emily, to home plate for a score. Greg is up and brings home the Bacon, er Richard. Greg slid
into second but missed it by about 5 five and crawled on all fours to get to his destination.
Ronnie is a megastar at the mound and also catches an out right off the bat. Mason, not to be outdone, catches a
spinner at home base for an out and stops for a Globetrotter pose for the camera. Ronnie shuts down the first inning
revealing his soft side and gently taps a girl running to second. Come on RONNIE, look FEIRCE! Put your mean face
back on or borrow mine.
Dan Do You Right Does Us Right and kicks the ball for a safe landing on first. Richard kicks a line drive to the pitcher.
Roy launches a doozie into the outfield and Mason comes barreling to round third. I'm not totally sure but I'd be willing
to bet that the poor girl on third base looked like a deer and Mason looked like an 18-­‐wheeler on a 40% grade road with
his brights shining directly in her eyes.
Anytime a player gets up to kick with mismatched socks and soccer shoes while I am picking flowers in the outfield I
immediately start to sweat. I'm pretty sure that the anticipation of birthing a small child doesn't compare to the
anxiety that I feel out in lonely right field, especially when said kicker intentionally makes eye contact with me, points
and laughs. Ok, so he didn't do that but that's what I imagined in my head and I sort of have a wild imagination.
Mismatch, sensing that I can't catch ball immediately launches the ball in my direction. Fortunately for me A) the ball is
a foul and B) Greg has decided that he WANTS THIS OUT and dives through a Pee-­‐wee huddle for the catch. Annnd he
misses. Greg, we really need to work on this distance perception thing. Richard, my more confident other half, catches
a doozie on third.
I. kicked. and. made. a. double.
Sorry, couldn't resist. I had to give it its own special section because, sadly, I am that proud. Kerri kicks and knocks me
to third. Dan boots one out pushes me home for score. Kerri is sent home by Mason. Kerri starts running around the
field with the boom box on her shoulder playing 'Eye of The Tiger'.
Out in the field Emily stops a line drive and fortunately doesn't have to use her wings from the Red Bull. Booze on First
has decided that it's fun to launch balls at our petite infielders and launch a ball at Erin. Erin picks off the pop up and
launches into a herkey and thumbs her noses at the cheerleaders with their orange slices.
Richard up to kick pounds a hole into left field. The left fielder, catches it, wobbles it and it slides out of his arms.
Richard, safely on first, tosses away the squeeze butter container. Randi pinned a target on her back and sacrificed
herself so Richard could stomp home. Greg nearly decapitated some on-­‐lookers with a foul. I slid into third to save my
head from surely being taken off my neck by the left fielder. It was sort of fun to slide, minus the sure rearrangement
of my spinal cord.
16-­‐2. P.S. Here are the photos proving we accepted the challenge!! Don't mess with B&B!!!!

It was yet another serene Thursday evening for the Fighting Pacifists. It was one full of hope
and promise. The sun was setting upon the field filling the air with anticipation of the
game ahead. Surely this day was destined for victory.
It was set that the game was to be a late one. The mighty knights of the Fighting Pacifists set
out for a proper warm up. And what better practice ground is there than the enchanting
“End Zone”. Equipped with their burnt orange glistening armor they marched through the
welcoming doors of the magical kingdom of “End Zone”. The brave knights satisfied their
thirst with some delightful swill and joyful conversation. There were some bewildered
gazes going about from fellow knights of blue and black armor about this peculiar practice
before the battle. Still, spirits were high among each fighting Pacifist as they were
approaching the battle field.
And so the battle began… The Pacifists never met the “Balls to the Wall”, they were like
two wolves who also never met. Their rivals were all tall like a six foot three inch tree; they
had a hungry look like the one when you haven’t eaten in a while. High spirited Pacifists
took on the field first. There was much cheering and encouragement from the sidelines.
Soon the kick balls were bouncing around the field like maggots when you fry them in hot
grease. Pacifists were leaping, running, hurdling and rolling with much bravery. Quickly,
however, they were all grasped by a strong feeling of de-ja-vu. They were trailing once
again. As if they were all part of a movie but were buried in the credits as “First Short
Guy” or “Indian Chief #3”. Needless to say the Pacifists were feeling under pressure like
the last bit of toothpaste. After a brave fight the battle was over… and lost…
There was much jubilation, though a bit one sided. To smooth our battle scars the winners
shared some delicious pastries, which many of this world call cookies. Yet the Pacifists had
the need to reclaim their glory. And so back to the magical kingdom of the “End Zone” they
went. They rejoiced once again among knights of all flags about the round table. And
though the battle was lost, their spirits were soaring with hope. Surely one day VICTORY
will be theirs…

SUCK
MY
KICK
SMK pulled off a win that has now prepped the team for the CHAMPIONSHIP… or at least the
playoffs J Just how exactly does one pull off such a win? Well let me tell you… First you must
stretch! Our newbie’s, Nick and Rachel showed us all just how to do so! Captain Phil, also our
amazing pitcher, warms up each week with a few protein shakes after hitting the gym for 3 hours
pumping iron before each game. He swears by his routine, as it gives him perfect form for pitching
and kicking. You can order his workout routine for just one easy payment of $19.99! But wait,
there’s more! Order now and receive a Waka Certified Shake Weight to strengthen your forearms for
FREE! Did somebody say PHOTO SHOOT?!? Yes… that’s right, Bri warmed up for the night’s
game with what seems to be one crazy photo shoot. Strike a pose? Madonna ain’t got NOTHING on
her bunts! *Pew* *Pew* were the sounds coming from Lindsay with the guns pointing! There’s
something about an Ikea trip that can help any players performance!
• Step one: Find a box that looks like multiple things. For example, Lindsay’s box looked like a
gun/Oklahoma/foam finer.
• Step two: Walk around the store making *pew* noises, singing OOOOOOklahoma, and chaNt
“You’re #1!” This is a great way to prep for any game!
• Now, how do Erica and Bonnie prepare for such a game? The answer is: SONIC!
With a pregame drink from their local Sonic, Erica was able to get to 2nd base by being on all 4’s…
and Bonnie took an amazing shot to the face by the giant red ball. They used their tactics by trying to
psych the other team by making them think we had no idea what we were doing… and it WORKED!
Kevin… oh Kevin! The only person who can totally SHANK the ball and then make a play that
changes the game! Apple Joe did what he does best – even though he forgot his FAMOUS
sunglasses! Harvey and Lauren are the POWERHOUSE couple on the team… People are in awe
when they watch them because they should be playing in the Olympics or something! PURE RAW
TALENT! The one BIG difference on the team this week is that Beau was sober enough to play and
play well! While he might be hoping to move downtown in the near future once his house sells, what
he doesn’t know is that all of us have joined as a team to keep that from happening! Every single
person on SMK stepped up this week, proved themselves to the league that we are here and not
going ANYWHERE until that trophy is OURS!

Another kickball Thursday come and gone and this time Balls to the Wall came
away with a victory. Balls to the Wall faced off against the Fighting Pacifist’s
to take the first win of the season with a 19-0 win!! The game started off
with BW kicking first and it looks like the practice last week paid off, with
some strategic kicking and aggressive base running, we put some runs on the
board early. The momentum kept going as BW kept putting runs on the board
while putting a stop to the Pacifist’s base running. The Pacifist’s got into
scoring position a few times, but the defense stepped up a little bit to keep the
shutout. Overall this was a very fun game, both teams out there to have a
good time, and that creates a game full of shenanigans and laughs on both
sides. This week Balls to the Wall felt victory for the first time this season,
and now its time to keep that momentum going as this week we face Booze
Your Daddy!!
RED BALLS
As the winds turned from the brutal blaze of the Summer heat to the refreshing brisk chills of Autumn, Red Balls &
Vodka were once again ready to take to the kickball fields. With their often imitated, never duplicated style, RB&V were
not only ready to confront their opponents but were turning to new tactics to defeat teams this season.
On this particular night, RB&V faced the challenge of having the latest game on the schedule. Their opponent, Drinkers
with a Kickball Problem, were thirsty for their second victory of the season. As long time coach Bear "Call me Bear"
Schoch rallied his troops, he broke out into his most well received speech to date.
"…guys, I don't care how tough you think you are, nothing kicks harder than life…" Bear remarked smoothly
"But it ain't about how hard you kick… it's about how hard you can get kicked and keep moving forward" his voice
rambled with excitement
"… Don't be pointin' fingers, sayin' I'm not kicking where I need to kick because of him or her or any team, Cowards do
that, and THAT AINT US!" screamed the half-inebriated coach with passion and fire in his eyes.
And then they were poured, the magic potion that has propelled each RB&V team into battle. With hands outstretched
and cups in hand, Chris "potty mouth" Cordina lead his teams famous chant.
"Here we go guys, let's have a good (f*$king) game and kick some (mutha-f*$king) asses... RED BALLS…"
Team response "(vodka)"…..
AND VOKDA

With RB&V employing their new tactics of team defense, well placed kicks and solid base running, everyone knew RB&V
was ready to churn out another victory.
But out of nowhere, like a foul smell waft from a dumpster and into your nostrils, Drinkers with a Kickball Problem
released a series of well kicked balls that led to the worst first inning in their young season. After getting their third out,
and having runs scored on them, the dejected RB&V team returned to their sideline. And then it happened, something
clicked, as if simultaneously every single mind of every player replayed the epic speech given to them by their leader…
"… It's about how hard you can get kicked… and KEEP MOVING FORWARD!"
And that is exactly what the Red Balls & Vodka team did.
Kick after kick the team moved base runners into scoring position to reclaim some of the deficit they suffered early in
the game. But defense was again the word for the night, just as it has been for all season. Great team defense, and
smart heads up plays showed their head as David "The Glove" Fleck, Cynthia "No Drop" Gonzalez and Rob "don't kick to
me because I can catch everything, just watch and see" Read made outstanding plays in the field.
Then it was time, time for RB&V to use their skills honed from generations of kickballers past to rally and take the game
for their own. Two outs, last chance for RB&V to score and runners in scoring position, Sarah "boom stick" Gonzalez
rocketed a kick that would send Greg "Sir Speedy" Brinkley around the bases and land her safe with a stand-up triple.
RB&V had done it, they'd taken the lead from their opponents and just needed three more outs to seal the victory.
Defensive minds firing on all cylinders, it was a quick OUT #1, then shortly there after OUT #2, but a runner was on first
and his shoes were laced, ready to speed around to home base to score another run. Then, in the midst of the heated
action of the kickball fields, a strategy was presented by Rob "Peyton Manning of the outfield" Read , as he instructed
other players what needed to happen if a play were to come their way.
Bounce, Bounce…..KICK! The ball was flying through the air towards second base, a small area of the field that was not
heavily defended was exposed, but then, with the words of wisdom from Rob "I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can, so
I can…" Read ringing in her ears, Sarah "omg the ball is coming to me" Gonzalez scooped up the ball and with laser
beam precision, rifled the red ball directly to the sliding opponents head.
"YOUR OUT!!!" screamed the referee who happened to actually be paying attention and get a call correct.
Suddenly, thunderous chanting of hoots and hollers rose from the field, as RB&V circled their hero of the night and
proceeded to high-five (except Sammy, because he only low-fives) and congratulate her epic play. It was a not only a win,
but win the Red Balls & Vodka way.
… Or something like that happened, I was sick and on meds after having a couple of drinks so I was loopy and could
have just hallucinated all of that.

And the Pink Team wins…again…but this will not be a big headed write up about our awesomeness so quit
your eye rolling. We *COULD* start to runs our mouths and start all kinds of SHMACK TALK but rumor was
Booze on First was doing a wee bit O’ Shmack talk at the bars last week and well…it got them beat.
Teammate Brian Burtz was overheard saying “10-­‐0 is preXy good for this evening, but let’s not forget the
fact that we only did half as good as last week”. And THAT folks sums up what us Longballers are all about
this season.
These 9 men and 7 women have the same goal in mind…winning! One can say “It’s just a game” “It’s all for
fun” “It’s a social game” etc. and I TOTALLY agree to some extent -­‐ but here’s the thing – 95% of the
players in kickball have at some point in their lives been athletes…the real kinds…soccer, baseball, football,
track. You name it, but stand on the sidelines and ask people on any team if they have ever played any “real
sports” and the answer is “YES”. Look inside the core of any athlete (past their prime or not) and there is an
extreme compeffon that is so deeply ingrained it doesn’t go away. As Trent Meier so eloquently said “I
don’t care if I’m a couch potato athlete coming out weekly for a shot at kickball glory…winning makes me
happy and losing just doesn’t”.
So there it is folks – We take this seriously. We scout other teams, we get together early in the week to
watch the video’s we have taken of our upcoming opponent from the previous week, we aXend Chuck
Norris training in the off season as previously menfoned, we don’t drink (probably due to the parking lot
being so damn far away) we do our best “Guy Smiley Meditafon’s” -­‐ We *ARE* good enough and smart
enough and gosh darn it people like us.
So what happened in our game? Don’t ask Barian – he hasn’t been able to shake a cold so his Dr. gave him
some good stuff and he barely remembers being there! Nathan kept his cool tricks to himself this week and
allowed Trent to make this week’s special play. He tripped over his own shoe lace as he was about to kick,
as he fell down his knee hit the ball into fa ir territory in what looked like the world’s most ridiculous self-­inflicted
O-­‐U-­‐T, However you rules people should know…his knee made the ball FOUL! Such luck! Jared and
Brad confnued to be the kickball studs they are and Mark did a great job of keeping us safe at first.
A-­‐Ron – Is it fair to be that that tall, that blond, that athlefc? If any of you single ladies haven’t met him yet,
our Brian is single and he’s quite the catch. Forget that reality tv star on team “what’s their name” who I
can’t even find on google. Brian Burtz…he’s what for dinner! Our girls also had a strong night. Krisfn made
her way home twice, Cortney just looked GOOD rocking her new hair color, Heather made a fantasfc catch
in the oumield, Lindsay was rocking the Tutu and doing power hinng simultaneously and Stefanie was on
fire proving she was a rookie worth draoing!
Next week – We are looking forward to seeing some TITS, err I mean…Playing with some TITS…eek…I meant
playing against the TITS and genng at least 4 people from our team to the bars for some hopefully
celebratory drinks! Peace-­‐Love-­‐LOOOONGBALLS!
