You probably already knew that, but it got ridiculously ridiculous last night for the back-to-back semi-finals and championship game.
First, the punchline -- we won.
Why was that unlikely? Where to begin...
1. Due to the games being rescheduled twice, we were missing 4 guys and 2 girls, leaving us with only 10 players (11 play the field in kickball).
2. Of those 6 missing players, one was our captain/lead-off kicker, and another was our bigfooted homer-smashing RBI machine.
3. Then, in the first inning of the semi-final game, our co-captain/awesome fielding catcher pulled a hammy trying to avoid a tag at third base. Down to 9 players.
4. Somehow we eeked out a 3-0 win in the semi-final.
5. Then things got retarded. First inning of the championship game, we gave up 6 runs. It's a five inning game, folks. That's a lot of runs. As far as I can remember, we scored 7 runs or more only once all season.
6. Down 6-0? No problem. We won 7-6 on a two out, bottom of the fifth bloop single.
Kickball is ridiculous.
Oh, did I forget to mention the bunt home run?

The Ninjaneer forgot to mention his TWO ninjalicious fly ball catches that were absolutely amazing. Centerfield. The kind where the ball hangs in the air for an eternity. Quite impressive.
