This week in our BSSC sporting lives, Adam's team goes up against Whitey's team in another epic kickball contest. Both teams come in undefeated at 1-0, but only one team can emerge victorious. Who will win this friendly rivalry game? Let's look at some history:
2007 Game:
Last year, it was pretty close most of the game, and then Whitey's team opened a Ginormous Can of Whoop-Ass and crushed all of Adam's hopes for victory. Oh well, at least both teams got to drink a lot.
2008 Roster Changes:
This year, the lineups have changed a little, so the game may be a little more balanced. For Whitey's team, they lost Tom, Heather, and I think Heather's sister Becky? Losing Tom and Becky hurts both in the field and at the plate. Heather's loss hurts too, but then again this year she won't constantly kick the ball to Albers and wonder why she always gets out. Addition by subtraction. No idea who else they lost or who they added to replace them.
For Adam's team, they lost Laura M. and Neil M, from last year. Losing Neil is huge, since he was one of the top all around athletes on the team. Losing Mayes...doesn't hurt as much. In their stead, they've added BSSC rookie Carrie Read and returning vet Pat "Not in the Face" Hoffman. They may also have a secret weapon in Adam's coworker, Courtney. While she claims to be horribly unathletic and admittedly smokes almost a pack a day, she's clearly a gamer. Or not. Let's Call it a wash in terms of ability, but an upgrade in the all important super fantastic fun category.
Final Predictions:
At least one person will fall down running to first base after they kick the ball.
Pat will foul out at least once.
Whitey's face will turn red by the 4th inning, either from too much sun or screaming "encouragement" at his team.
Whitey's team to win 6-4.

Close prediction... but the only thing that matters is that Whitey is still happy, and none of his teammate have been physically punished!!! LOL Whitey you're a good coach... don't hit me!
Geez Adam, I barely remember today's game much less last year's game and the rosters therein. I bow to your supah doopah historian powahs.
Fouling out every week? That would be too predictable. I am going to save that for special occasions, like when the bases are loaded, or perhaps as a rally killer.
5-3 ended up to be the score this year, very close to the prediction. As far as roster changes go...I also lost Big John, his wife Katie, and Mike Baron. The two dudes were big drinkers. So at least I left the field sober this time.
