Every team enters a game wanting to win. Any player that denies this is a downright liar. However no matter how capable a team is at winning games, often there are times when a match-up gets away from a team. There comes that moment when a loss slowly starts becoming more and more of a reality. That is the exact moment when you find out what your team is made of. Once you start to see players hang their heads that is the first step towards disaster. Those looks and feelings of distraught a very contagious. It spreads like wildfire through a team until inevitably the wheels come off.
Mental toughness is worth its weight in gold. Its one of those intangible skills that truly matter. Which is why it was so disheartening to see Kixxx collapse on itself during their match up with league rival Kickin' N' Screamin'. Every season this game is much anticipated. A battle between two of SCK's best teams. Too bad last Wednesday's match-up was one of the least memorable ones. Although the score was a close 3-0, the drama in the dugout over shadowed any of the game play. We all hope Kixxx can put it behind them and get back on track.
Kixxx wasn't the only one suffering fo mental toughness Wednesday night. The much improved Longstrokes are suffering from an elevated ego. They came out of the off-season well prepared to compete with the best in the league. Which was apparent after their big Opening Day win against the Party Pandas, 9-0. However since then they have done little to impress. Coach Ronnie had some choice words for his team, none that I can repeat here,during their match-up with Das Boot. The Longstrokes will need to get their heads out of the sky if they want to get back on the road to winning games. The competition is just going to get tougher.
Also a special shout out to The Benchwarmer, congrats on going 1-2 with your "upset" picks. Granted you got the Pandas v.s. Id Hit It right, but picking Kixxx over KNS and Longstrokes over Das Boot was ridiculous. Better luck next time... Just leave the kickball to IJK.
In Lone Star Land, the Royal Tennenballs, It Burns When I Kick, and Kickballaz are leading the pack. Granted the Lone Star Division is easy to dismiss, its interesting to see what, if any, competition may be heading to the King of Kickball post-season.
It Burns When I Kick is playing well. However this week they have an experienced LTA. So it will be interesting to see how they stack up against a team with some real kickball chops. Ill be watching this game with interest.
Also two leading Lone Star teams will be facing each other, the Tennenaballs v.s the rookie Kickballaz will be another interesting match-up. The Tennenballs claim to play for fun and they have been having tons of fun considering they have won all their match-ups. The Kickballaz are a true rookie team, but seem to be doing well. Probably won't make it to this game, but I suggest the rest of Kickball Nation check it out.
However if you are looking to watch something a little bit more hardcore, don't miss the Das Boot v.s KNA game. Kickin' N' Screamin' will more than likely walk away from this one, but for Das Boot this is more of a dress rehearsal for a possible championship match-up. This is where the meat meets the metal and we see what Das Boot really has in their arsenal.
If this game happens to turn into a blowout, wander over to Modesto 1 where I'd Hit It will be looking to rebound against a very hungry Longstrokes team. Nice match-ups all the way around.
That's all for now...
Happy Kicking and Good Luck

Ironic how this blog is fucking stupid, no one really cares and the only ones reading it are the same few idiots bitching about stupid shit. People come out to just simply play and this pointless same old recycled shit gets put out season after season after season after season after season. The author thinks he's capable of writing anything meaningful and does nothing to contribute to the spirit of the league. The predictions are fucking stupid, the idea that the author knows anything about any of the teams, regardless of how often teams expand, regroup, collapse, regroup, shift, reform, is the only thing this fucking moron can put out. All this is is a soapbox for people whining and complaining and talking trash and trying to sound like they have anything relevant to say, but when it's time to get on the field, they're no longer have anything to say. There's no point in even trying to write commentary about games no one even saw or try to write about games based on what they saw on score sheets. This is exactly why there are so few comments on any posts. This board is dead and why anyone wastes their time trying to read it or come across anything relevant is simply wasting their time. This stupid blog isn't even updated on a timely basis and doesn't bother to give credit where credit is due. It took nearly two weeks to write about the winners from last season and when it came time to give them their so called "time in the spotlight" it was already too late.
This is for all you idiots that come on here and complain about other teams or who's a better player or who's a better team and who should win and bla bla bla bla fucking bla. GET A LIFE! Absolutely no one gives a damn and not a single soul here can back their claims up when it comes time to get on the field. This is getting old and redundant and cliche and does nothing to promote the league. If only the author had anything, and I mean ANYTHING relevant and exciting to say about anything, then maybe this garbage would be worth reading. All this does is provide a platform to create hostility and giving idiots a place to vent their pathetic insignificant insecurities to a deaf audience. If that's what it takes just to get noticed as an author, then I must say, please try spending your time doing something else instead of thinking you're some great blogger whose posts have such tremendous following that everyone is dying read more and more like it's some bestseller novel. It's absolutely lower than pathetic to have to put in this much effort just to get noticed by people whose opinions are about as useless as watching paint dry.
LMAO, yet you come on here to comment on a blog that no one cares about. Obviously you care enough to take the time to wrie a comment at 1:00am. So thanks for that, it's appreciated. Also don't hide behind an anonymous name...
If you dont like it, dont read it. Simple as that. Also dont be a coward and post your real name.
Ha! What crawled Mr. Gofickyourselves ass?! What a total deusch. I agree that this blogs suck with out the Angry Ump, but come on buddy I think your asking the wrong person to get a life. In summary, your a retard with nothing better to do than read kickball blogs in the middle of the night. Try getting some sleep, maybe you'll feel beter.
Great blogging rich fuck that guy, he's hating because he is not as creative
I have gone back and forth about the kickball blog...
ITS ---Amusing, Ingenious, Creative, Funny , Good reading because its comical to see people Care
ITS, --- thoughtless, Insults, discourteous, rude comments; Crazy to hilarious to see people get upset!
But at the end of the day, IT JUST KICKBALL!!!!!!!!! Just Play……
It's never JUST kickball that is a straight up lie. If it was JUST kickball then why keep score, why have umps, why have a champion? On the other hand 90% of this league is plain out competitive, so it burns when they lose and its a great feeling when they win. Teams yell at the umps, push the umps, teammates punch each other, original 6 boo anyone that isn't part of that, super teams are made to win a championship, and leave their original roots and people. So where in all this, is it JUST kickball?
