I want to thank all our referees .... they did a great job. Game Recaps Playoffs Pickles 2nd Round Exit to Juice is on Fire The Real Winners By Kat P Who wasn't wasted on Saturday?? I know I was and I know Pickles thought that playing endless rounds of 711-doubles and beer pong was the way to end the season right!! Thank you Pickles for a wonderful season and a BIG BIG thanks to CB, Albers and Marty for taking care of all of us every week!! Pickles came home with a beautiful 2016 Team Flip Cup trophy and Matt came home with his 2016 Flip Cup Survivor trophy. All in all I think Pickles were the real WINNERS!!! Booty and the Beast I want to thank our playoff competition. Kickballers, Juice is on Fire, and ShaDynasty of A-A-Ron ... all of you played with great passion, heart, and challenged us from start to finish. What a great finals. There were no losers. Only winners. To All My Teammates - a big thanks for putting up with me and all my emails, instructions, texts, and directions. You are great friends, teammates, and Champions. Your athletic ability, reliability, and dedication truly demonstrates the heart of a Champion! The Field - Our Sixth consecutive finals. Our THIRD consecutive summer finals. Our FIRST back to back titles. In four summer finals we have given up 4 runs in 24 innings. In 23 innings we have scored ZERO runs until the last inning this summer when we scored 2. We had lost three summer finals 1-0. We finished the season 15-0. The first ever undefeated season in league history. We allowed 14 runs in 15 games. The first ever Title in league history with ONLY 8 fielders. Sure it is possible with Fucking Brian, The German, and Wildboy manning the outfield. The Bar - Our SECOND consecutive Second Place showing at Flip Cup. And a second place in Survivor for Fucking Brian. The first ever all Booty Survivor finals. And three different Booty teammates took survivor this summer The Rookie, Fucking Brian, and JBRAD. Perhaps a greater achievement than a title. The LADIES Summer Champs! Winner, Winner… By Chip L The Morning After wwww.happyhoursports.org -Beckstar - a Big Thank You for letting me have Wednesday nights to play kickball and go out afterwards. You were eligible to play but this season we didn't need you. Thanks for being on stand-by. 7 Game Recaps Playoffs -Ginger " Ginjurey" Holden - Just a playoff player. Raise the stakes up a notch and you show up. Late .. of course. Without you there is no summer Championship. Thank you. -Jasmine "Germany" Hasner - You were there in the beginning and a big part of this team. WE will miss you. You always have a spot when you come back. The BOYS -Charlie "Sheen" Lamari - HUGE kicks on game day. Would only play if we won. We did! Back to back to back titles? Means you gotta play in the fall. Best recruiter. -Claudia Von "Fibula" Nordheim - Played hurt, played buzzed, and played solid all season. Your kicks and your speed were impressive. Next season you play all the time in the field. Who knew you could catch everything kicked your way? -Jessica "JBRAD" Bradbury - you were the most consistent lady all season. Big catches, lots of shots, and great karaoke. We missed you in the playoffs. Fall will be your season. -Allie "Red" Teunis - Two seasons ... two Championships. See the pattern? You contributed on the field with perfectly placed line drives. And, of course, your bar participation was top notch. Let’s keep it going in the fall. Sierra "Eazzy" Breese - Great with your hands. Brimming with confidence. We just need to see more of you. -Felice "Navidad" Herdman - Your hands are AMAZING. Oh the things you can do with them. You are irreplaceable.

And did I mention the ladies love him? -Mike "The Rookie" Bell - The rookie wins Survivor. The Rookie wins the summer kickball title.

The Morning about another season?After wwww.happyhoursports.org 8 The ShadyNasty of A’Aron Game Recaps Playoffs Grass Kickers 11: Dawn of Justice 2nd Round loss to The ShadyNasty of A’Aron PRO-gress By Manny J Well, how about them Grasskickers!!! What an amazing season that Grasskickers: Dawn of Justice edition had this Summer. We had a goal and we surely met it. We manage to get 3 wins this season and even got a Playoff win over the Hobos to add the cherry on top. It wasn’t easy, and took some time for us to really gel together and figure out our spots but we did it. A lot of the credit goes to my partner in crime, Allison Fellner who willingly organized our team on every aspect of the kickball season. She literally is the best co-captain a captain could have. Major congratulations to our MVP’s Josh R. and Mandy A. who deserved every bit of the award. We managed to get a group of wonderful people and go from the team known for being the team you play against to get the easy win to being a team that is playing with a new vigor and can do some damage. If we lost a game it was always by a small margin. We are already looking forward to the next season and are now giving the league a warning that a beast has been awoken and we are hungry for more. Kick Grass!!! The Morning After wwww.happyhoursports.org Finals loss to Booty and the Beast So close… By Tony H For those that did not witness the championship game vs. Booty, you missed a classic. It was probably the most exciting game I've been a part of if you take away the outcome. Congrats Booty, and congrats to the refs for not throwing me out. Onto the game recaps... Before I get started on the playoff games, I would be remiss if I didn't talk about a play from 2 weeks ago that I forgot to put in the Morning After. It was the game vs Hump Day. After Jessica (some know her as Potter) was roughly tagged out at first, she got her redemption the next inning. Dickson kicked a liner to right field, as Potter got under it to make a great catch, she let out a mighty roar that made Dickson's kick grunt sound like a kitten's meow. Sorry, I forgot this Potter. Game 1: After what I would call an upset, the Grasskickers beat the Hobos in the first round, and their reward was that they got to play us. They even had a lead about halfway through the game. Then, we started acting like ourselves, and put up a lot more runs to win, 8-4ish. They had some dude on their team that kicked the shit outta the ball, I didn't like it at the time, but respect it. Don't really remember any other details of this game. Game 2: The game vs Fun Bunch (they didn't seem to have much fun though). This game started with some fireworks with a great throw in by Brandon to get a tag out at 3rd base in the top of the first. This was followed by a pumped up yell from me. This may have irked the other team, ok it did irk the other team. 9 Game Recaps Playoffs But hey, NBA players yell when they dunk, and no one seems to bat an eye. Just good old fashioned competitive spirit. So, I had to lead off the game for my team in the bottom, thinking I better not get out because I gotta back up my trash talk. Can you guess what happened? Don't worry, I'll tell ya. I hit a homerun. It was glorious. Later, they took the lead somehow and had the lead for most of the game. Then, in the bottom of the 5th or 6th, Mauricio got the game-tying RBI which was clutch as hell. So, obvi the game went into OT because it is us and the playoffs. From there, I was pretty sure they weren't going to score as I was pitching, so we just had to score. Bottom of the 8th, first batter up, Chris, the crime dog McGraw belts a triple down the 3rd base line. And that was followed by JJ hitting the game winning RBI down the first base line to score the winning run. Chris sacrificed his knee for that triple and is now on crutches. So, thank you for putting kickball over health. I was shocked when someone refused to clap my hand after the game, so I just slapped his butt. FYI, the more you don't shake my hand, the more I know I'm in your head. So, thanks for giving me that satisfaction. Game 3: Not that upset here. Happy for Booty. Had a great perfect season. Good job y'all. Also, you're welcome. After all my talk, that just makes beating us that much better. We were up 1-0 in the bottom of the 6th with 2 outs. That's where it ended for us. Damn, not much happened in the game. It did downpour for a bit, and there was some great pitching. Thanks to the few that stayed around to help ref and watch. The Morning Misc: Thanks to Chris,After and Albers for all their work wwww.happyhoursports.org and anyone that helped them out on a weekly basis. Thanks to all the refs who had to listen to me Misc: Thanks to Chris, and Albers for all their work and anyone that helped them out on a weekly basis. Thanks to all the refs who had to listen to me explain why they were wrong on multiple occasions. Thanks to my team for being awesome. Brandon, Jake, Chris, Arif, Alex, Sean, Mauricio, JJ, Potter, Sam, Alli, Briana, y'all rock. The Lauer Patch Kids 1st Round loss to The Kickballers We came in 2nd! By Chris B Well, the playoffs happened and we were not the Full Lauer we could have been, unfortunately we were a few pieces short of going full Voltron and it showed. How did it show, well we didn’t win so that’s one way. Another way would be on the emotional level. A Lauer team sans Lauer makes no sense and is destined to be doomed by pants, sun, the desire to peg and the maddening yet life giving sun. Alas, this season was not to be ours, but the Fall beckons, mornings on the fields, slightly hungover/possibly buzzed but attempt to win we shall. Props to our captain Laura, she is Elmers that holds us together. Just don’t try and eat us lest we say it’s ok to do so. 10 Weekly Awards The Billy D Williams Smooth Play of the Week Award goes to Jake H, for almost, almost getting there.
