Week 4

Week 4's in the books, here's what went down in case you missed it!

Also, final plans for the the mid-season party will be posted this week, check out the blog section below for details!

Recaps:________________________________________________________

Captains send recaps, recaps end up here. Captains don't send recaps, your team gets no love (thefinalbunt@gmail.com) and don't forget to send in player of the week nominations too!

SF Natives:
SF Natives thrashed 12 Step Sloshers, 7-0. There was a bit of a disagreement about the game before it was played, due to Sully explaining that since HE got to the field late, that the Sloshers should be given some extra time to allow another girl from their team to post. Since the games were all called forfeits so swiftly the week before, this was upsetting, but Sully was pretty persistent. After the Sloshers found their missing link, our game kicked off. The end result of which, was us winning, and moving to the top of the ranks for the first time ever!

Balls of Glory:
Contrary to what people think, the mythical Balls of Glory are actually a legitimate team! Despite being called out in the last 3 blog posts, the team banded together and played a fantastic game. Sadly, the game did not count as the other team had forfeited. Leave it to us to play the best game of our short careers when it didn't count! Expect more good stuff from us down the road though!

Team Deathballs:

Team SAAS:
After being voted sexiest team in WAKA and simultaneously being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for all of our recent charity work, Team SAAS capped off the week by dismantiling our opponents this past Sunday. However, our team could not completely enjoy the accolades of annihilating the Frisco Donkeys 7 to 1 because our beloved friend and mascot, the Flabongo, wasn't there to share the glory.

12 Step Sloshers:
The time was 2:15:59pm and from across the lovely kickball green we see Angela Hastings carrying a 24 pack over her shoulder with diamonds in her ears from the night before. And that, ladies and gentlemen, saved the 12 Step Sloshers from having a taste of their own medicine - having to forfeit a game. So, we went on to play SF Natives and unfortunately lost 6-0 but that's okay because we enjoyed actually playing an official game for once.

Sleazy Bandeezee:
In an act of generosity, Team Sleazy, the orginial Vertigo Champs, decided to let Boringwood finally achieve their life long ambition of beating Sleazy on the kickball field and the flip cup table. We'd share more, but we're sure they'll fill you in on all the details themselves.

Frisco Donkeys:

Morningwood:
Not that anyone should be surprised, but Morningwood defeated Team Sleazy this weekend by a score of 4 to zippy, nada, nill, ZERO! It all got going thanks to some strong kicking from Kirk/Chris/Sabrina/Matt and some solid defensive play all around. And after our game, we went on to beat them at the flip cup table too and won away the crown despite spotting them a 2-0 lead in the best of 5.

Mid-Season Party: ______________________________________________

We're having our Mid-Season Party this fall at Butter on October 4th!

This party's going on in coordination with one of our theme weeks on October 5th! That theme is going to be White Trash. Butter is a trendy spot, known for repping the white-trash genre to the maximum! Take a look at their website (particularly the menu) and you'll catch our drift!

Go big or go home gang! Feel free to dress up at Butter for the theme, but definitely come prepared that following Sunday! The team with the most players dressed in support of our theme week gets money for pitchers of beer at our sponsor bar, the Blackthorn Tavern!

Need tips on how to look the part? Check out pics from this google search to get your ideas flowing: White Trash Party

Get pumped people! This party is gonna be COVER FREE to members of Vertigo. We're still working out details on a cover for all our non-member friends, and we'll let you know about that soon. Oh, and did someone say SPECIALS!? That's right $3 "Tall Boys" and $5 Specialty Cocktails for us from 7PM until 10PM! That's when the bar will open up to the public, and their DJ will start getting his freak on!

Pointless Predictions:____________________________________________

1) As I'm taking almost every method of transit on my way back to SF from Montreal, I will make the prediction that my travel will go smoothly, and without incident, because it'd be really great if that happened.
2) Week 5 will be the first weekend of no forfeits, but the games will not count against teams either way.
3) Balls of Glory will kick everyone's butt in the bar at flip cup, then start a bar fight, steal our women (or men), and ride off into the sunset like the cowboys in those old western movies.
3) Matt Sullivan is headed to Europe, and although his departure will be felt by Morningwood, it will not prevent them from being any less obnoxious, or dominant.
4) Team SAAS will form a posse to hunt down their missing Flabongo, and bring all thieves in to face justice (and/or their wrath).
5) Drunken makeouts happen at a record level down at Blackthorn due to the intermixing of teams/players this weekend.
6) Rob Ray shows up bare-chested and doesn't remember how that happened.

Players of the Week:______________________________________________

Captains submit your players of the week to thefinalbunt@gmail.com!

Balls of Glory selected Charles Chen as their Player of the Week, due to his spectacular over the shoulder catch that rivaled the timeless 1982 Dwight Clark catch at Candlestick Park, it was all the more spectacular when you consider the game didn't actually count. We thusly rewarded him with a pitcher of beer and a rousing rendition of Journey's "Small Town Girl". Overall it was a great team effort, and that deserves kudo's all around.

The 12-Step Sloshers selected Angela Hastings as their Player of the Week, for showing up in the nick of time to save their team from certain forfeit. Not only did she show up fashionably late, but nonetheless on-time, she also came bearing gifts! That's the way of a true baller my friends, you've got a good team player right there.

The SF Natives vote to have Michelle Miles & Jacob "Awesome Dude" Stillman as their Players of the Week, because they represent what their team is all about; kicking ass and being awesome, respectively.

Quick Kicks:____________________________________________________

1) Mid-Season Party is at BUTTER on October 4th! Get psyched up for that and our for our White Trash theme week!
2) We're raising money for charity. Yes, that's correct. We'll be helping out others instead of ourselves for once. INSANITY! Deets on that soon too.
3) If you're upset about your squad not getting any love on the blog, its cause your team leaders don't participate by submitting info. So players hassle your team captains, and captains shoot me an e-mail after each Sunday. Thanks!
4) The theme for October 5th, which is Superheroes, as decided by the readers/voters in our poll has been moved to September 28th!
5) REMEMBER TO SHOW UP EARLY THIS WEEKEND TO GET A PARKING SPOT!
