If there were ever a time to hit the panic button, the time would be now for the once glorious Shockers. I doubt Coach Big T has been able to get a wink of sleep since last week. The Shock-less are on a two game losing skid, which is extremely rare. What's even worse is the losing streak has a very good chance of continuing with the kindergarten kickball kiddos of Kick N Da Balls coming to Shocker Stadium for the first time. KNDB is downright hungry for a bite at the Shockers and they're riding a wave of momentum that just might get the job done.
There is a saying that goes, "Never kick someone while they're down", but the Shockers are in desperate need of some motivation. The kickball faithful have been piling on for weeks and now that the Shockers have lost two games in a row, the other kickball contenders smell the blood. I've been giving reasons or excuses, however you want to classify them, on why the Shockers haven't been able to win; attendance issues, miscues, errors. Whatever the case may be they have only once chance left to pull it altogether. They CANNOT go into the King of Kickball without some momentum. Thats not opinion, its just a fact. So what do they need to do to win against KNDB?
First they need the Double Ds, Dora and Domino. The Shocks are basically a bunting team. If they can't get their speed on the bags, then their clean-up guys are useless. Now normally they don't need many runs because their defense is pretty stout. Although it is only strong when they have their full team. They aren't like the Monkeyz, KNDB, or Where's My Pitches that can play with 8 players and still win. They need the entire squad to show for their defense to click. So reluctantly I will admit that attendance has been crushing the Shockers. Hopefully Coach Big T has had an opportunity to rally the troops and get them to show up Wednesday night.
With all that being said, Kick N Da Balls still needs to come into this game confident, not cocky. True the Shockers are on the ropes but Ive seen what happens when teams think "we got them, game over". Like Mr. Miaga once said, "Focus! Daniel San!" KNDB has solid pitching, but I worry about the offense. They try to play long ball when this should be a straight up bunting team. Their offense would be so much better. Not to say 26 runs is good but this number should be higher.
This game will not be a blow out for either side. This one will be close, it should be a really good game. This is a must see.

Just because your young it doesn't mean you have to type like a 2nd grader. Dude seriously, mix in a period or a comma. As for the game, come on over! You'll find out pretty fast if we're for reals or not.

Seriously Shockers, I seen you guys play every week, and you guys don't impress me at all. As a rookie player in this league, I wonder how you guys won two championships in a row. If you guys had something in the past, you definite don't have it this season.
To the Dude, as rookie player we've probably already crushed your team or we will be crushing you guys pretty soon....and if we don't seem impressive now just wait till we have our full squad. We haven't had a full team since the first week..trust me we are a fine tuned machine with 11 strong....and as for the 2 championships..that's old news buddy..where have you been..get over it..we won them, you didn't!! Don't matter how we did..we just did it and we plan on doing it again!! So make sure you follow us in the tourney, cuz it's gonna be history in the making...
