Once again BGB started off slowly giving up a few runs early to the people in orange who can't figure out how they want to spell their name. BGB came to party and party we did... score runs in the first four innings we did not. Facing a very tough and kind of scary intense orange crew, it took BGB four innings before we could penetrate their defenses and put a few runs on the board. With unnecessary trash talking coming from the orange crush, the last play of the game proved to be the most exciting. After making the out at second the orange crush threw the ball at the newest Backspinner Carrie Dinitz streaking towards home plate apparently nicking her back foot inches from touching home to tie the game up. I would write a longer recap about the actual game but really, the orange crew were way too intense for kickball. Their pitcher took a running start to his pitches a la cricket and practically blew blood vessels in his head throughout the game... and he didn't come off as the nuttiest of the bunch. It's kickball not the World Series folks. Special thanks to Adam "Ray Charles" Gluck for reffing.
After the game however, our team consumed more beer provided by this week's beer captain Jonathan Aaltonen then went to the bar where the real game ensued. I had to go play softball which of course was rained out by that nice 9 p.m. torrential downpour that came through. So this recap is based solely on reports from various folks pieced together. Firstly, Chef showed up at the bar even though he couldn't make the game, that's dedication and he didn't want his wife Jen dancing alone at the bar. Here are the various tidbits I've been given. Laura "L-Dogg" Smith was chasing folks and grabbing many a butt, Wes Arnold and Bill Garth were wrestling, Matt Dobias bought team shots, the entire team danced to white trash heavy metal hits from a decade ago and finally Sarah Shellhouse and Jonathan Aaltonen were having a detailed discussion on the couch regarding the proper way to jerk a panda off... I really wish I was making that last one up. the worst part about all of this except that last bit is I missed it. Final Score Playaszszsz 3 Baby Got Backspin 2.
P.S. Three members of Baby Got Backspin will be up for auction at the mid season party, Matt Booker, Bill Garth and Melissa Curtin. Bill and Matt have stated that their anaconda don't want none unless you got buns hun.
