Alright...so the biggest knock against me and my blog is that "I'm too nice". I get criticized for trying to be "politically correct", mainly from the Angry Umpire, but from other kickball enthusiasts as well. Truth be told, I like writing about all the teams, not just the top teams. I'm not down to bash teams, because that ain't my game. I'm not a really good shit talker like my buddy the Angry Umpire. However I will tell you one thing that really pisses me off, anyone who cries about why the lost and won't simply own it. Some players will come up with ANY excuse to "explain" why they lost. Anything to draw attention away from the fact that they just didn't execute or more simply... they suck.
A couple of my favorite excuse:
"We didn't have all our players"
Really?!!? I don't care what anyone says, one player does NOT make a team. Of course there are certain players that are considerably better than the rest of the team, but unless that player is playing all the positions (Ala Baseball Bugs Bunny) then it shouldn't matter. Your team is only as good as it's weakest player!!!
"The umpires robbed us"
This is probably the excuse that gets to me the most, mainly because I do a lot of umpiring. I've been lucky enough to see a game from both sides of the plate. And I'll be the first to admit that the umpires don't always make the right calls, but that is understandable...because they are f*#$king robots. We don't have instant replay here. These guys and gals are going to call what the see and that's just how it goes. Even if something is ridiculously obvious, if they didn't see it, they can't just take your word for it. This applies in ALL sports, in any sport. Does it suck? Yeah sometimes it does, but that's when you need to turn around and make a play. Don't cry, don't sulk, cowboy or cowgirl up, turn around and make a play. If you need to beat the team you are playing and the umpires, then DO IT! Just stop crying.....
Competition often brings out the worst in us, but at the end of the day...this isn't life or death. Kickball is game, not a sport. Let's treat it like one!

Well said!
I thought you were better than this Rich. What kind of blog is this? You hardly update your blog, and then when you do you write about this crap. You say you don't like trashing anybody, well what do you think your doing with this blog? Remember where this league started from and don't you forget. The "original six" are your back bone and you know it. So before you jump on your high horse. Learn to appreciate, oh yeah and grow a pair and take charge of this league. All your rules have gone to shit, nobody follows them. Tell your precious board to step up and help you enforce the rules you guys came up with. It's starting to look like EPK on Wednesdays. You really let me down Rich.....
Damn Rich...You really hit a nerve with your blog this week. LOL
Hey Mr. Kicball's #1 Fan, you know what? go fuck yourself! I have yet to bash anyone, but guess what, I do have my own opinions on things and I will write about them as I see fit. Now if you don't like it, then get the fuck out of here. No one is putting a gun to your head to read this shit or maybe someone is...and if they are I wish they would pull the fuckin trigger already and do us all the favor of having to put up with your bullshit.
Are you that desperate for attention that you spend all day reading a KICKBALL BLOG, that you don't like, to contribute nothing and just criticize what Im doing??!?!
If you really are from the Original Six, you know more than anybody you can come talk to me about anything. Everyone knows where to find me and I'll hear out whoever has a comment, opinion, complaint, whatever. I don't hide behind some anonymous name, like you. I write ONE blog about folks who cry about umpires and now I ride a high horse??!?!? You don't know what the fuck you are talking about. What rules have gone to shit? Tell me, call me, write me, sending a pinche smoke signal you coward, SAY SOMETHING.Dont just throw shit out here and then not come talk to me or at the very least provide some sort of solution or suggestion. What are you Republican?!?!
Also you don't know the first things about Epk! What it use to be and what it has turned into. It use to be a down ass place until ONE GUY, that's right ONE GUY, turned it into dust. Because he wanted to have the first, last, and only say on what happens in the league.
Im glad I let you down #1 Kickball Fan, because you don't know the first thing about kickball. You are the type of person that can never be pleased. You find it easier to criticize than to help find a solution. I do appreciate everyone who is here. But remember this isn't "MY" league, this is our league. I'm not always going to be the guy in charge, but while Im here I'll do the best job I can. If that's not good enough for you, well tough shit. By the way, if this was Epk and the kickball Nazi found out who you are, you would be gone. Just like that, no review, no discussion...gone. But lucky for you...you are in SCK where that shit doesnt happen and will never happen, because you are entitled to your opinion. Although you obviously don't have the first clue on what you are talking about.
So go...put back on on your Spider Man P.J.s, crwal down into your mother's basement, lay down on your twin sized bed that has never felt the warmth of a woman's body, wrap yourself in the sad lonliness that is the blanket of your life, and cry yourself to sleep, because that is where you belong, nah that is where you deserve to be.
Damn and here I thought u were nice rich haha that was brutal and I said u weren't as entertaining as James but damn that takes the cake haha good shit so James start getting ur shit together and post something better haha... And I wanna know who kickball fan was thinking it was directed to?
Calm down tough guy! Spider man PJ's? Are you serious Rich? haha The truth hurts, doesn't it! I'm glad to see you have a "Angry" side. You should use it more often, maybe people would respect you more. Sorry to get you all jumpy Rich, don't lose any sleep over me. I'm just a Kickball Fan expressing my opinion. Well Mr. President, I have to run. You have your self a great day and Happy Kicking to you!
Kickballs #1 fan is a total deusch bag! He finally gets a response from the commish and all this a hole has to say is to calm down?? WTF I wish this dumb fuck had the sack to take all his stupid insignificant gripes straight to Rich cuz I would love to see this idiot get decked!
Wow! are you kidding me. Kickballs #1 fan doesn't know the first thing about this league and its back bone. Rich wasn't saying anything about the "original six". Now if its your opinion that its the "original six" Crying A River than that is you, but the point of this blog, in my opinion, is that when you find your self using one of these excuses, Man up and do something cuz its not anyone else's fault that u didn't produce the win. Tatoo that in your brain. If an ump makes a shity call, turn around and bring in two runs and insure your win. Don't cry about it! Everyone is guilty of that once and a while, but try to be a better person about it. Like Rich said Kickball is a GAME not a SPORT!!!
And this bullshit about "All your rules have gone to shit" What Rules are you talking about! I'm guessing that its the rules that you feel are the board's responsability to inforce? Look at how many people are on the board, what 7 or something, for a league that has 20 teams and a total of 300+ players. 7 people are not going to catch Everything. If it bothers you so much why don't you grow some balls and help out instead of being a lazy ass and just criticize. Of the 6 "original" teams only 6 people stepped up to help this league and serve on the board. Rich sacrifices A LOT to make this league what it. You don't know the first thing about what things are like a EPK. These fools have been through like 20 board members and lost like 15 teams since they started because the president over there is a giant douche bag and nobody wants to work with him. Even with all that Rich sacrifices to make this a, by far superior league, there are still people like Kickballs #1 fan who show him no respect. Rich has don't nothing to deserve the amount of disrespect he gets from half this league and that includes the some of board. He shows nothing but respect to every single person in his league. He says one thing to try to get people to calm the F@#% down and stop crying for stupid stuff and you want to turn around and criticize him.... YOUR F@#%ING Bonkerz!!!!
Ha!! Hey "Angry Ump", go make yourself useful and write about something stupid like you always do. Maybe about how your stupid Shockers are done and how they got their asses whooped! Huh...write about that!
First Lady, do me a favor and go wash the dishes or fold some clothes. Who gave you permission to be online anyways Women! You got it all wrong sweetie. I'm not beefing with Mr President, I'm just here to enjoy the wonderful game of kickball. It's just that your hubby can't take constructive criticism. So stay out of this before you break a nail.
People, People, don't hate on me, because I'm "Kickball's #1 Fan". I'm here to support SCK all the way and I will do so with great pride. I just like what I've been seeing on Wednesdays. I think Rich tends to favor and I don't think it's right. That's all Im saying.
Well I got to run. See you guys on Wednesday. I can't wait to see Mr Rich's and the Angry Ump's predictions. There is a couple of good games going on. Sweet! Happy Kicking!!
WTF!!! Kickballs #1 Dick Sucker needs to calm the F@#$ down with the insults. I take pride in what I do for a living. You could't support a family even if you every had one. Oh yeah you need to get a date to even think about that. oh and gay guys can't reproduce so it looks like you would just need to suport you and your partner. And you are such a retard... do you even know what constructive criticism is. you need to be CONSTRUCTIVE. I saw nothing constuctive in the jibberish you've written. And if you feel you have been constructive then please copy and paste that shit cuz it sure doesn't stick out. Or better yet, quite being such a pussy and say who you are... it would sound like "I Am Blank. I am a little pussy Bitch =)"
And so you say Rich "Favors" please point out who he's favored and when. He hasn't done anything for any one person or team that he wouldn't do for anybody else. Your just a total loser Kickballs #1 Balls Washer. Maybe you should come out of your mothers basement and actually pay attention to what goes on around you. And maybe you should think before you speak about shit you have no idea about. I know 3yr olds who have better "constuctive criticism" than you. Grow some balls and get a life.
Damn First Lady that was some vicious venom! I say fuck the little bugger! Dont give him or maybe her any more blog time. Kickballs #1 a-hole has nothing good to say its not worth our time. That was some good stuff though....
