Game of the Week
Game 1 – {Inglorious Ballstards vs. Blue Mooners}
This is a rematch of the week 3 beat down that the Mooners were victorious of. Blue Mooners won 18-2 or 18-3, depending on who you ask and they haven’t let the Inglorious ones forget about it. Even the score of that game has stir up some harsh emotions. Every Sunday, week after week, even spilling on facebook the Mooners have not let them forget that beat down. With the Ballstards conceding back then that “the mooners are my daddy” it seems the Mooners want more than blood
Unbeknownst to the Blue Mooners, since that lost, The Ballstards are 4-1-1, with their lone lost in that stretch coming from the controversial game against the Uniballs. In that time period, they have also given up only 14 runs. It’s safe to say, this isn’t the same team. Defense has tightened, Offense has surged, and they have all the confidence in the world. This can be the beginning of a brand new rivalry.
Game 2 – {1st United Ct Kickers vs. Wrecking Balls}
Another rematch of the regular season; The score that day, 6-5… the situation, 6-5, Zero outs, man on 2nd and 3rd. Somehow, the kickball gods decided that day wasn’t the day for the upset. However, all things happen for a reason. Could it be that was in anticipation for this?
For the pink pirates each team has come with their best shot and a high dream of being the hero in this movie to slay the villain, but each week they are eating dirt by the end of the match. They bring with them a Mr.Kickball, 4 all-pro’s and 2 more honorable mentions. With all this talent though, each week the pink pirates have been declining in production. Not sure if its boredom in search for the playoffs or the “air of invincibility” is gone
The Wreckers also bring with them 3 all-pro’s, and the league’s best catcher. All this star power something has to give, right? Out of all the teams that played 1uck, and wanted a rematch, this is the team that perhaps wanted it the most. Could this be an upset in the making?
GMOT Kickball Predictions
#2 Inglorious Ballstards vs. #6 Blue Mooners
Ballstards having waiting to such up the Mooners all season long, this Sunday they get their chance and they pull out a close one. I have the Ballstards ~ el presidente
Ballstards have come a long way since losing by the mercy rule + some. Unfortunately for them, not far enough. Mooners ~Zak
The Ballstards led by the leagues president have a lot to live up to but I think their determination will bring the the win. That and the fear of all the smack talk they'll hear from the mooners if they lose. ~ glot
The Ballstards have been on a hot streak towards the end of the season. That streak ends Sunday though. Blue Mooners take this one ~ Gio
#1 1st United Ct Kickers vs. #5 Wrecking Balls
1UCK wins, and shows that the teams previous meeting was a fluke. ~Zak
I have predicted the last couple of weeks, the pink pirates will fall. I say that because I expected this game to happen, exact circumstances… The Upset, USA defeats USSR just like 1980, in the semi’s. I have Wrecking Balls ~ el presidente
Wrecking Balls may be the league's best hope at taking down 1UCK. However, 1UCK will be wrecking more balls as they move on to the championship! ~ glot
1UCK wins in a very tight matchup. This will be just as close the last time they played. ~ Gio
~All-Star Game
West monkey-stomps the East. It will not be quick, and the East will not enjoy it. ~Zak
As my friend Lee Corso would say "Not so fast my friend" the east will have the last laugh ~ el presidente
The West will win by 20 runs...that's right 20 runs... ~ Gio
~Champion;
To be the Ivy spring 2010 champion, I have the Inglorious Ballstards to complete the Cinderella story.
For media purposes however, I will remove my bias and if not the Ballstards, I have the Wrecking Balls Winning it all ~ el presidente
1UCK wins despite the rest of the division cheering against them. ~Zak
Have we ever voted against 1UCK? I know we all want to see someone else take the win. But really 1UCK is the best, most talented, coolest group of people out there, despite the pink shirts, being from Hartford, and the smack talk. ~glot
1UCK completes an unprecedented undefeated season. ~ Gio
