Hey!
real quick - 2 extra-extra-curricular events to note: first, a bunch of us are meeting on friday at union sqaure for critical mass. email me (fun@broolynkickball.com)to rendezvous. Second: jens's and lola's birthdays are both on saturday. Jens's party is the day event, while lola's is at night: "Kamp Karstensen will be set up on the beach off the boardwalk at W. 12th St., by the water squirtin' frolic inducin' palm tree, across from Wonder Wheel Park, the same locale as Camp Miale, if you were at the Siren Festival." Lola will hold court at "300 Meserole Street.(Between Waterbury and Bogart) Montrose stop on the L train. 10,000 Square ft. Rooftop. 9pm-??? Cash Bar provided (I'm bringing my flask). (Beer and Liquor!) Karaoke with Colin, the King of Karaoke and DJ FLIM FLAM. Then...Dancing till Dawn."
Let's get right to it. Playoffs start 3 Sundays from now. I need to know how many other teams are playing besides the O' Sleeves, Orphans, Daggers, and Los Piratas Mechanicos. If anyone can contact any of the other teams, please do so. No matter what, the Pirates are the #1 seed. If there are more teams coming, be it the Dob Kings, some juxtaposition of former teams, or an impromptu squad, their seeds start at 5 and go down. I imagine the Daggers would be the 2 seed, as they haven't lost many, and I must confer with the Orphans to see who are the 3 and 4 seeds.
I will work out with Jens what exactly the tournament format will be, but know that the 15th is when the post-season begins.
I want every team to email me their playoff roster before the 8th, as to prevent anyone from bringing their cousin Pele to show up for the Finals. I will meet with all the Umps and Captains prior to each game, ensuring fair play and a legit roster. During the playoffs, I will demand that all players not on the field stay in the dugout, as to prevent last week's controversy. The only people allowed outside the dugout are the Umps, the fielders, and the 1st and 3rd base coaches. However, regardless of last week, there will be no instant replay. Too much bullshit.
During the Playoffs, we will still have anyone come play. I can have games in the outfield, and in between official playoff games. Like Washington warned about political parties, I warn about teams discouraging strays to come play. The Barbeque will be aflame. Smoke, drink, and put her in the buck. Encourage the meek to kick a ball on a minor league field.
Attendance is down, and many people have their theory and opinion. Mine is that everybody's reason holds truth: the switch to 4-8 from 6-10, long season, and summer vacationing. But people can still come at 6 if they want; furthermore, no other league seems to claim the field from 8-10, so unofficially speaking, we can play from 4 - 10. Don't bank on someone not coming at 8 though. I'm definitely annoyed with the Parks Department for unnecessarily screwing with our season. Can someone in IT steal them a copy of MS Access or Filemaker Pro? Their database system clearly blows. We didn't have to switch our timeslot, but again, people never were spanked for tardiness. Anyone can come play whenever they want. This is Kickball with drinks, not Gym Class.
See ya Sunday.
