Big Brother vs Little Brother

These first couple of non-divisional games have all been about Big Brother vs Little Brother. Big Brother being the Mountain Star Division and Little Brother being the Sunrise Division. So far the Big Brother teams have been beating up on all the Little Brother teams, which was predicted. There is a reason why certain teams are in certain divisions. However come Wednesday, the Sunrise kickballers will have another chance to show nether or not they can compete against the cream of the crop.

Realistically, glancing over the different match-ups for Wednesday, it seems more probable that the Sunrise teams will post another 0-7 record against the Mountain Star teams. However let's go ahead and take a peek at the upcoming match-ups.

Unfortunately the Chiles & Chilindrinas have absolutely no chance against powerhouse kickballers Kickin' N' Screamin'. Don't get me wrong, the Chiles & Chilindrinas have a good amount of potential and should have a promising season. The problem is, it's going to take whole lot more than potential to take down a team of Kickin' N' Screamin's caliber. At best, C&C could use this match-up as a learning experience. Although C&C might keep it close, the score on this one may get out of hand. Divisional or Non-Divisional, KNS plays at the same speed every time, balls to the wall.

After coming off a promising Turf War season, Drippin Wet Posse strongly disappointed Opening Day as they were, quite frankly, laughed off the field with an embarrassing 21-0 loss to KNS. Granted they were playing the best team in the league, the fact of the matter is, if you can't compete with KNS then you have no chance at winning a King of Kickball Crown. Next up they have the Kixxx crew, which is another tough team and is no push over. Although I don't anticipate another 21-0 brain damage inducing beat-down, I don't feel Drippin Wet Posse has what it takes to get it done against Kixxx. However for the sake of the Sunrise division,  maybe the Posse will prove me wrong.

The Balls & Dolls need to be careful against One More Shot. The Bs&Ds struggled against Balls of Steel, which could have been expected. The Balls of Steel are a decent squad, formerly the Runs. So all in all last week's match-up was evenly matched. However if the Bs&Ds are to keep up with the powerhouse teams in the Mountain Star Divisions they will need to put up a more convincing win against One More Shot this coming Wednesday. The absence of an obvious sideline presence still makes me uncomfortable, but only time will tell how this effects the Balls & Dolls.

Last season I was on the Billy Bad Ass Bangwagon. They were playing strong and looked like contenders, until an unfortunate set of circumstances stopped them dead in their tracks. Now we enter a new season with a new set of circumstances. Their upcoming match-up against the Monkeyz will be a tough one. A win here would make a big time statement. However seeing as the Bad Asses struggled against an up-and-down I'd Hit It, it's hard to gauge what kind of team we are looking at. Is it the same Bad Asses from last season? Or a new kind. Wednesday's Monkey match-up will give us a peek into the Bad Asses' kickball window.

The Suisliders vs I'd Hit It should be a good game to watch. The Suisilders have been trying to make a statement, an argument or just about anything to prove that they can compete at a high level. Over taking I'd Hit It would be a small step in that direction. I'd Hit It is considered a top tier team, although they get tons of criticism for it. A constant playoff team with a solid winning record season after season. However they did squeak past the Bad Asses, so Wednesday should reveal a lot about both teams skill level and competition level.

UPSET OF THE WEEK

The Shockers vs Balls of Steel is my predicted Upset of the Week. First off, I'm not going take the time to run down the long list of accolades for the now infamous Mighty Shockers clan, we all know them and heard of them. I merely going to say that the Balls of Steel have a good chance at picking up a big win here. Even though they struggled against the Balls & Dolls, something tells me that the Balls of Steel should come out on top come Wednesday night. 

Good Luck to all the teams and Happy Kicking

So it seems like all the power houses won yesterday. The only contest that was in doubt was NKOTB. Which like I had mentioned was not a very strong team. Take out their lil outfielder and they have nothing.
