As you might have read, Glenn and I are on a kickball league. It is so much fun! If anyone is interested check it out at http://www.kickball.com/ They have divisions all over the country and it is a total blast. Well I thought that this was just going to be a fun leisurely game of kickball where a bunch of adults get together to have fun and goof off. WRONG! I'm sure somewhere in my little competitive soul I knew that this wouldn't be the case. But like an email from the director said "The games are ON". Last night was just a kick away from a rumble. We must have played a team that was really wanting to go to Vegas because they were pretty tough! Team "Makin A Run" even went so far as to say that their teammate was not out because our guy touched the wrong plate (there are 2 plates at every base, one for the runner and one for the outfielder" Mind you, our guy was practically standing there for seconds before she even arrived at 1st. So she would have been out anyways! So the game went pretty fast and at first they were beating us 1:0. But we made a come back with Glenn's awesome bunt and some good plays by our "allstars" who above making some good plays, also made some silly mistakes. But I'm proud to say that we came out on top AGAIN with a 6th inning win over "Makin A Run" 3:2. Thinking back I had to chuckle as I remember both our teams yelling at the Ref for making some bad calls. LOL. Each team has members who have to ref a different game. That poor guy probably thought it was going to be cake. He probably figured he could just have a beer or two before the game and have fun. Little did he know we would be battling it out on the kickball field!
Warming up before our game. Yes, we were one of the only teams out there actually warming up...I told you we take this kinda seriously!
The Losers...Team "Makin A Run"
Rock, Paper, Scissors...we lostLeah and I were kind of acting like little groupies when we found out that one of our favorite talk radio hosts was playing on the "WINK WINK Nudge Nudge" team. Mandy Connell from the Wink News radio 1240am Hosts Daybreak in the mornings and she's awesome! I call her the Nancy Grace of talk radio. So of course we had to get a picture with her. I'm not ashamed to get a picture of anything. She was so nice and sounded exactly like she does on the radio. She said it was nice to see some young listeners as most of her fans are 70 year olds. She also said she was leaving in the morning for NY where she was going to some event and was going to be presenting an award to another one of our favorites Laura Ingram. SWEET! "Tell her we love her too"!
Winners!Stay tuned for more updates as our kickball season progresses!
