Here we go again. In week 3 I saw 2 triple plays!! Are you serious! I've been playing kickball for 7 years and I've never seen this ish. Congrats to Screamers & Y Sub for pulling it off. This means the summer solstice must be near. In fact it is, until then though you'll have to enjoy my Top 20 rankings for Week 3. But don't forget that on the summer solstice next sunday june 21 I'll be djing @ the…

News and notes: Heard Coug's podcast(s) yet?  See the links on the Twitter widget  (KVKL blog site).  Fantastic job Cougs!  Also, check out some press on the Channel 6 Toepokes.  Nice. It may rain today, so please keep an eye on the weather and your phone close.  FYI- If we call the games because of weather, I'll contact your pool reps and they will contact you as swiftly as possible.  I'll…

Hey all, There have been a few infractions on lineups in Week #1 and Week #2.  Several on the Board looked over the scorecards and noticed these teams using improper lineups:  AstroKitty, Weavers, Teller's, and Yellow Sub.  Some made errors in week #1, some in week #2, some in both.  Also, Slowride has used the Emergency Play Act (see Rules C.1.a.) once.  I know Teller's already rectified…

Hey all nice work out there in week 2! Didn't see too many injuries this week so that's good. Here's my rankings for the week.  All the undefeated teams are placed first(8 teams are 2-0) and after that it's a wild wild west of placement based on previous years performance, strength of schedule, margin of victory, whether or not i got a bribe, and which teams made the least fun of my sleeveless acid…

Sounds like things went fairly well in week #1.  Well done everybody.  There are, however, a few problems.

1.  Please, please drink your libations from aluminum cans.  We will then be able to recycle those cans toward a good cause. The more glass and plastic our league uses, the more of a hassle it will be to recycle.  No one, I mean NO ONE,…

Behold!  THIS epic season doth await us.  Upon the threshold of kickball greatness we stand, united (well, sort of...).   No need to toil in more off-season tedium and banality.  Pump thine fist, gulp thy libation, whilst we simultaneously savor the taste of defeat and victory.  Remember, we are all victorious by nature of our passion and prescience.  Honored member's of the Kaw Valley…

New and Notes: Seems like everyone had a good go of it Sunday evening.  The weather improved as the evening progressed and most teams got to play in at least one game.  All the participating teams looked good.  I think the new schedule will make this the most interesting year to date.  Anyways, hope you all had fun last weekend!

We do have (roughly) a 40 percent chance of rain.  Feel free to play until rain prevents us from doing so.  If lightening becomes a factor, we'll definitely call the games (off).  So far, so good.  Enjoy your evening....whatever you do.  Thanks!!!
