Week 8

In case you missed it we only have 1 number one team this week! SF Natives out played Morningwood Sunday to take over the first place spot out-right.

What else did you miss and what's on tap? Well check things out below to start living in the know.

Word to the wise: for those of you who've been missing in action, we've only got about 2 weeks left, so try to make your games and our events (like ALPHA BAR, the End-O-Season Party and our Charity Bash) before you miss out on all the fun!

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:

Balls of Glory:
Despite almost having to forfeit, B.O.G. actually played a real game this week...And unfortunately got fairly demolished by Team SAAS, 6-0. We blame it on a lack of beer and the ridiculous amount of hippies/bums on the field. However, B.O.G. more than made up for it during flip cup afterwards!

Team Deathballs:

Team SAAS:
SAAS came out this past Sunday and kicked some Balls of Glory ASS! Wooh! SAAS dominated the B.O.G.'s, ending the game 6-0. They will be back in full force this Sunday to show Boringwood WHATS UP! Be scared, we eat babies for breakfast! On a not-so-sad note; SAAS will be down a player, specifically their pitcher, due to a FREAK accident… It was those damn man-eating-gophers again.. However, the games must go on, and Charlie "My mullet is better than Charles Lantz's" Blahahaha will be taking his place, and BRINGING IT to the field B*TCHES!!

12 Step Sloshers:
We forfeited again, and we probably won't send Charles a recap either, cause he's gross and probably has kooties.

Sleazy Bandeezee:
Charles tried to get us to forfeit, but right before we had to, our missing player showed up, and we got the W.

Frisco Donkeys:
Still exists, despite evidence to the contrary.

Morningwood:
We got demolished. It wasn't pretty. I blame the large influx of bums to our fields for this loss. Maybe it was the second-hand high, I dunno, but something was off. We'll see if we can't regroup before out next regular season match.

Important League Dates:____________________________________________

Saturday, October 25, 2008: Our End of the Season Tournament will be held on this day. The games will be played on the HAMILTON RECREATIONAL FIELDS located between GEARY BLVD & POST ST at SCOTT ST. Click here to view a Google Map for directions. The tournament will kick-off in the morning (around 11AM), further details will be sent your way closer to the date. This change was necessary due to field availability following our regular season.

Saturday, November 1, 2008: This is the date of our End-O-Season Party. This party will be taking place at The Cellar starting at 8PM. Vertigo members will be admitted for free from 8PM-10PM. There will also be a "Prom Theme" for this party. All attendants are encouraged to wear prom specific attire (either fashionable or maybe something crazy from the 80's), and to bring dates! We're working on having the guest fees ($5) go towards our league charity. Further details will be posted here soon regarding the party as we're still ironing details out now.

Wednesday, November 12, 2008: This is when we'll have our Charity Bash starting at 9PM and going till 12PM. It will take place at Fish Bowl Bar & Grill located at 1854 Divisadero St. Members from the Vertigo Board will be behind the bar mixing drinks (so you *could* potentially get some heavy pours) and all CASH TIPS will go to our Charity! We will be donating our charitable proceeds to the Daly City Recreational Center's after school programs. Their after school programs are designed to keep kids active and off the streets, and we think they're worthy of our support! Please plan on attending this event (which will take place after the season is over) so we can raise some money and catch up with one another! Tell your friends, as all are welcome to attend. The more, the merrier!

I'm throwing my 2 cents in this week, as I think Bill Miles should get the nod for his nifty slide into homebase during the SF Natives vs Morningwood game. Right as he was charging towards home on an over-throw, Brian Francis (of Morningwood) tossed me the ball, but before I could get my arms out to tag him he was already sliding into base. He took me, the base, and almost the ball with him. I tried to argue that I had the ball as he slid into home, but because the bases weren't loaded it couldn't be called a forced out. Hats off to him... He almost made me bleed my own blood. Luckily I've got some thick skin, cause nobody makes me bleed my own blood! Honorable mention goes to Greg, their closer, for preventing Morningwood from getting back in the game.

Balls of Glory's unanimous player of the game was Phyllis Liu, who saved their team by making grabs that rivaled anything that Nastia Liukin can do; one amazing catch after another. The B.O.G.'s think she kicked ass last Sunday!
