Best .500 Team Ever?


After a miserable 3 weeks of consecutive losses, Kicks and Giggles found themselves on the ropes last night, in danger of not even making the playoffs. The top 6 teams in this 12 team league make it in - the rest watch from the sidelines saddled with questions about what could have been.

Would that be our fate? Hell no. The squad came out with fire in their eyes and beer in their bellies. We were playing on Field A, which was a real blessing as all of our losses have come on field B (famous for it's short length in right field). I took over pitching for the 2nd week in a row and did a really really amazing and awesome job. Xtian was MIA this week - some sort of fuzzy "work commitment" - in Brooklyn perhaps? We prevailed nonetheless, including a homerun kicked by Douchebag Dwyer with his opposite foot - some real playground ball there. The final score was 9-5, good enough to earn this 3-3 team a 5th seed in the playoffs next week. We'll need to win 3 consecutive games next Wednesday night to take the title. The stage has been set for one of the greatest NYC sporting stories of the decade - will Kicks and Giggles deliver?
