We are the champions

...of flip cup, that is. For those of you that did not make it to the Front Page last night (i.e. everyone except myself, Steve, Dan Yang, Hutch and Ari, with a brief cameo by Jen), you missed a great show. It started off small-- me (double-cupping) and Brandy (from Bob Vance; a real trooper--she had just given blood AND it was her bye week, but she still came!) versus Hutch, Dan and Steve-- and then got bigger as we stole more and more tables and found some people from the Lickballs team to play against. Basically, IDROS plus Brandy plus Donovan dominated the entire time, including when we all used only our left hands to flip. I think the other team maybe won two games. But that's just because we let them, kind of like they let their little sister win sometimes...
I could go on and on about how amazing our flip cup performance was, but I will soon be posting some pictures that I think speak for themselves (e.g. cups being flipped with tongues, feet, elbows, etc.)
Anyway, thanks to everyone who was there for a good time, and to everyone who wasn't-- now you know what you are missing.

Attitude is everything

So we lost. Again. But it's okay because we got to finish up the keg at Liz and Jeremy's afterward. (And I played pool there, which is a potentially bad idea.)

I think we may actually be at the bottom of the league. However, we finally found ourselves a decent first baseman (the Token Asian Guy, Dan) whom I think he'd be even more effective at second base or as short stop. So Adam Heller, where ARE you? Ari and I were the only ones to score runs; we were at the top of the line up, so Capts Brian and Hutch are doing something right.

Becki is on the injured list. She injured her thigh somehow, but I hope she makes it back next week.

Kat is our returning MVP because she got three fly balls in a row. Dan the TAG is the rookie MVP because he did an outstanding job tagging people out at first base.

Come out and see us next week. You'll find me on the sidelines cubing because watching the actual game itself is too stressful for me.

Pictures from our game on 4/25

Hey kickballers,

The Hutchster plucked these pictures of us from the DCKickball site. Check it out. Yellow has never looked so good.

Is that Becky making the run home?

A strange picture of us hanging out on the sidelines. I (Sirinyay) am the one with the black capris. Rafaela, Brian, Kat and Hutch are also definitely in this picture.

YAY! Me!

We don't roll on shabbos gets into their field positions. Brian is heading into the outfield while Ari prepares to pitch another no-kicker.

And there Ari goes. Man, you gotta love how the digital camera blurs the ball, making it seem like he is rolling the ball at 90 miles per hour.

Becky is at home plate, waiting for someone - anyone - to throw the ball to her and tag that dude (Josh is his name) out. She's a sharp cookie.

Hutch is proud of his biceps and flexes them at every opportunity.
In this case, it's at the pre-season party.

We play today at 7:15 in Stead Park.
