Congratulations to Ballbusters

Take a close look at this, the record for league champs Ballbusters (who ended the season with a 9-0-1 record):



Which team after Bad Azz Ballerz in that estimable record came closest to Ballbusters in a game?

That's right. Ball Movement. The little team that could.

ps - condolenscences to IvyPlus... appears you got that elusive "W" in your record, but got it via forfeiting. We know, we know, it's a bitter pill to swallow. We will be happy to help punish any no-showing, forfeiting, shoe-piddling little twerps as needed next summer.

The Movement 2006

So Long, Farewell

So, it's over. A big thumbs-down to Big Kickers for not even showing up to Ball Movement's final game. We feel robbed, and because of that, we've cased several of your houses and will rob you, not of kickball-field glory, but of jewelry, electronics and other valuables.

No, seriously. We were talking with our ref (who, making history, actually took a few kicks while we milled around waiting for an opponent) and agreed that teams who don't show to games should be fined in beer. You owe us a case or two, Kickers.

The good folks of Short Bus were kind enough to get together a game and give the Movement some action. Thanks! We like you guys.

Once our allotted time on the field came to an end, another season come and gone, we stuck around to root on Short Bus as they went up against We've Got the Runs. Mostly we wanted to see if Brandon is always such a dick.

We didn't really get to discover if he is or not, because We've Got the Runs only mustered about six players and forfeited their game too. Because of the failure of We've Got the Runs to field a full team, their playoff hopes were dashed. What a way to end a season, eh? Not with a bang, but with a whimper. Yet, I wonder how much we should blame the missing members... Think about it: Brandon was there, most of the rest of the team wasn't.

Coincidence?

Yeah, keep telling yourselves that.

For the record, the Movement has never forfeited a single game. It's actually probably a worse offense than bunting in our book, and that's saying something.

If bunting is for bitches, forfeiting is for fu... nevermind, that's just taking alliteration a little too far.

The Movement had a great time this season. We'd love it if the 6:00 game time was eliminated and we could play all our games at Bassett's Creek. Thanks for the memories all y'all.
