CO Mile High Week 5 Recaps


YOU’RE KILLING ME BALLS!
Tensions were high as the YKMB/Pink Street Hustlers took the field against the Undefeated and Golden-less Truffle Shuffle. The balls came out swinging in the first inning, scoring 4 runs.
And were swiftly returned 4 runs by the truffles. The crowd of at least 7, but in no event more than 15, looked on as the Balls dug from deepest recesses of their Bud Light case for kicking inspiration. They held the truffles to no more runs and tacked on 3 more to the scoreboard (aka peeps mark's legal pad). And the gods look upon the Balls and their WIN, and its was good. As for their rumble against pretty boy Floyd, all that mattered was that the beer finally arrived.

PRETTY BOY FLOYD
6-0 Still UNDEFEATED... INCHUGGINGWHICHISTHEMOSTIMPORTANTTHINGABOUTKICKBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In other news, we lost both games. 

It has been noted we have either the most incredible pop fly catches or the worst possible pop fly drops... It is through this task that our fate will be decided! 

Until next week!!!

TRUFFLE SHUFFLE
The Boys in Blue resembled an ER trauma ward during Week 5, with three of their eight handsome gentlemen sitting out with an injury. Tory hurt his ankle while tickle-fighting a local high school girls’ soccer team, Golden dislocated his shoulder saving a baby from a burning building and Rob suffered from internal bleeding as a result of overdosing on estrogen pills. You’re Killing Me Balls took advantage and delivered a solid whipping. It could have been much worse without the stellar defensive play of Kelly “Black Hole” Reese, who caught an estimated 87 line drives and made 9 outs at 2B in one inning alone. With Golden and Rob remaining on IR for at least another week and Tory listed as Questionable, the long-anticipated showdown with The Peep Show will be a challenge.

COMING FROM BEHIND
CFB played against pretty boy Floyd. Damn good game! What a week in standings shakeups!! Wow! However we play kickball for the fun of it, with friends and new faces. And to geeeeetttttt drunk. That's the unnecessary sexiness.

Hot Shotz of the Week - Josue Mendoze & Nicole Unrein

Name: Josue Mendoza
Team: Ballzagna!!
Playing since: First year; definitely coming back next year!!
Favorite WAKA memory:
Getting sent flying over a runner as he ran towards home while I jumped up for the ball in an attempt to tag him out. The landing looked more painful than it was as I flipped over him and landed straight on my butt, but I am willing to sacrifice the body all for the sake of a good play. And at the end of the day, no hard feelings between me and him. It's all in fun.
Drink of choice:
My daily, delicious protein shake, after a tiring workout at the gym. It seriously is a huge highlight of my day. But then again, anyone that knows me, knows that anytime I feed my body is a cause for celebration.
If you were to be featured on a Magazine, which one would it be and what would be the headline?
Jet Magazine, Headline: Thats right I put this guy on the cover! Go ahead!! Fire me! I dont care!! -The Editor (Not what I would've hoped for, but at least I made the cover of a magazine.)



Name: Nicole Unrein
Team: Truffle Shuffle
Playing since: 2011
Favorite WAKA memory:
Waka cruise to Mexico-but all the things that happened on the boat, stays on the boat!
Drink of Choice:
Kickball kool-aids  (blueberry vodka & pomegranate juice) or fireball
You're the lead in the movie only once in your life; what's the title and plot synopsis?
"If I Ruled the World" & it would be me changing things to the way I like them- can you say "A" type personality?

CO Mile High - Week 4 Recaps

FLIPADELPHIA!
Pretty boy Floyd game was cool, player of the game award is split between John Young at pitcher and Mackie Marquez, for a fantastic catch at short stop.
Peep Show MVP award goes to the entire team of Peep Show, who apparently did not register in time to form a MLS team, so played kickball instead. Definitely a cool team, who stopped trying for strategy after the first inning when they were up 183 to -5.

TRUFFLE SHUFFLE
Our hats go off to the Disco Ninjas, who gave us our closest game yet. The road gets tougher from here with a few straight weeks against veteran teams, and we'll have to shuffle our way past them without Golden and possibly Rob. Everyone laugh at them for getting injured in a charity kickball tournament. As always, the Week 4 MVP award goes to The Warhawk.























BALLZAGNA
Everyone had an off day kickin', but at least EVERYONE showed up for flippin'!
















GROUNDS FOR DISMISSAL
Out of the sewers and into the hearts of may ballers out there, the TEENAGE MUNTANT NINJA TURTLE kickballers came to the field with a little extra HARDSHELL to battle the GOTZ TACOS aka Your Killing Me Balls!  With so many familiar faces on the opposing team it was tough to play such great defense and capped the win with a strike out in the bottom of the 6th inning provided by Dana "Ballnadao" Donato.  TOUGHEST HARDSHELL award goes to Mike "Stop Looking at my Package" Tsang who had the hardest collision of the season running to 1st base.  Thankfully and surprisingly no injuries incurred.  Even better not a single error was made by the entire team.

If doesn't know what TMNT stands for.....it's GROUNDS FOR DISMISSAL!!!!

THE PEEP SHOW
The Peeps had two strong victories on their double header night. The first game Started off strong and didn't end. The peeps left the bunting on the beach and went for a full blown kickoff! The second game started off much the same if not a little more shakey given liquid intake and a few jello shots. A beer in hand rule was enacted and enforced by the captain late in the game which resulted in the Peeps giving up 10 runs. Overall the Peeps had a great night!

PRETTY BOY FLOYD
Chugging Coin Toss 4-0 Still UNDEFEATED!!!

In our epic battle against Flipidelphia, PBF was not victorious... We were all tied up at the bottom of the 5th but went an extra inning and came out down, 6-9. But we shall rise to fight again another day! We did have an amazing finger pop fly catch by the lovely Rhiannon and an awe inspiring home run by the studly Bill! We were also graced by the presence of the incomparable Power Puff Girls on Wedndesay's game, although Buttercup did have a tragic fall trying to tag up on second, their ferocious anime power struck fear into the hearts of our foes!
