The Pirates! Lost At Sea

As registration winds down, the question that comes up the most is, who is "in" and who is "out". Of last season's 20 teams most are coming back with the exception of a few MIAs. The league villain Shockers and Drunken Monkeyz obviously signed up for another season of kickball blood, guts and glory. With other tenured teams such as the Balls & Dolls, Multiple Scoregasms, and Family Jewelz who are all going into their 4th SCK season. While league favorite Coach Lucas "Like my socks" Quimiro also brought back the Kings of Jimmy O or team I'd Hit It back for their 3rd SCK season. Oh wait, we can't forget my two favorite teams, the Violet Femmes and the Pirates! The Femmes are geared up and ready to go but sadly...the Pirates! will be taking the Summer Season off.

I was absolutely crushed when I received the news and how I received it was more than a little bizarre. A parrot flew through my window, which was not open at the time, and came crashing through the window. The parrot dropped what turned out to be an empty beet bottle onto the floor. The strangest part was the parrot seemed to be rather drunk and struggled to fly back out the window. As the parrot then flew into each wall, it kept squawking and repeating the same thing over and over, "Awk! Get off the roof! Awk! Party over! Awk!". Eventually the parrot made it out the window and flew away....kind of. In the bottle was a letter short note written in black permanent marker, the kind you shouldn't use to draw fake mustaches onto your face with. On the back of an old SCK "Alcohol Policy" hand-out was written the following..

"We nah be goin' t' make it says aye. Start wit' out us."

Just then a tear rolled off my check and onto the crumpled beer stained paper. Captain Cimi and his merry band of drinking buccaneers will be sorely missed this summer season. I'm sure we will see them from time to time in El Paso's random waterin' holes,but it just won't be the same. This be a sad sad day, says aye...
