WEATHER CANCELLATIONS:
There have been a lot of questions
regarding weather cancellations. WAKA
allows (encourages) games to be played
even in bad weather. They DO NOT allow
us to play during lighting. However,
Somerville Parks and Recreation are very
protective of their field conditions, and will
cancel if they haven’t dried out. If there is
a cancellation, I will update twitter and
send an email by 7pm the night of the
game. If you receive no email or twitter
update, the games are still on.

Volume 4
Stewies - 6, New Kicks - 2.
The Ballers lost to Balls Deep 6-3. Josh had
some great fielding and Jeff smacked a girl in
the face with a ball.
Controlled Chaos vs The Situation (2-0):
It was a hard fought battle as each side held
the batting team to 3-5 runners per inning.
Although the opposing pitcher was
tremendous, having most of us popping out
with his amazingly fast and dizzying pitches,
we managed to eek out 2 runs (Migs you
surely deserve to have earned our 3rd run).
Got Tigerblood?– Although they put out a tremendous
effort on Wednesday they suffered a 0-2 loss, but are
still proud of their accomplishments on and off the
field! We might not have won on the field, but we
definitely were winners off the field at the BAR!
Collectively, we took over 40 shots for 12 people! The
Bartender told me the red team were nutz with all those
shots! So that means the expectations has been set...
things only get crazier going forward! Just a recap of
our game...Sam our pitcher had an impressive night
throwing that mean heater with only allowing 2 runs...i
should take credit for at least one of the runs as I drop
one of the balls! (won't happen again). Alyssa played
her part as the catcher with the trash talking confidence
that derailed each kicker as they rolled up to the
plate...Addison and Alan, gets the gold glove awards for
catching all the pop flies without breaking a sweat. Beth
or is it Burt? =) gets the best nick name award! Julie
and Hannah did a great job leading the way with the
contagious smile as they kick the balls with their knees!
Tony and Chad continued to carry the team with the
clean-up spot! Matt with the almost impressive homerun kick in the end - but was called back for running
outside the box! Darn bookworms ref! And Tori for the
impressive dance moves on the bar top - oh wait...that
didn't happen yet!
Where my Pitches (2-0): MVP and the play of the Game is
when Captain Dan Swartz playing in the outfield had a pop
fly come to right field ball whacked him in the face and he
then proceeded to bobble it 2-3 times in the air ending up
with the catch to get the out.
Oh it was ladies night, and the feeling
was right. Due to a combination of
injuries, travel, and a concurrent
soccer game, Stewies Sexy Party was
left with only 5 guys and 7 ladies for
their game against New Kicks. Things
looked bleak, but we managed to
overcome the odds and some tough
pitching to pull out a 6-2 victory. In
her pitching debut, Kristin threw a
great game. Guido made some solid
throws from 3rd base. Tom kicked a
pair of doubles to bring some Sexy
Partiers in to score. All the ladies
played well, making some big catches
and getting on base (perhaps it was
the power of the new homemade tutus
that some had).
Kicking It Old School v Kicking and
Screaming (4-4):
It’s the bottom of the 5th and Kicking it Old
School is down by two after a shocking
inside-the-park homerun from Kicking and
Screaming. Old School wasn’t daunted by
Kicking and Screaming’s unwillingness to
go down without a lot of kicking and
screaming and came back with a clutch
offensive push in the bottom of the 5th.
Andrew “I don’t care if we’re down by two
in the bottom of the 5th” LeFleur brought in
a run with a beautifully placed kick to
center. Up next and unwilling to be shown
up by Drew was Adam “#@$! pressure”
Sweetland. He made pure artwork out of
the gap Screaming had in their right field to
bring in the game tying run.

by playing kickball. The concept has spread across the country
and thousands of people have been inspired to raise money for
childhood cancer research. Proceeds from Kick-It games benefit
CureSearch. View Quinn’s story at

How To Meet Kickball Guys Without Seeming Like a Stage V Clinger:
A Practical Guide
Step 1. Get their Attention
Adult Male Homosapiens, much like the Adult Male Raccoon, are attracted to bright and
shiny objects, so make sure you’re wearing your tightest, shiniest spandex and hot pink shorts
(although homemade tutus also work).
Step 2. Hold their Attention
Adult Male Homosapiens are easily distracted, tempted to look at other shiny female
players, big red bouncy balls, and even worse, Big Screen TVs at Sambas and Bruins Games…make sure
you keep their attention. You can do this by casually bumping into them, “Oh, sorry I didn’t see your
big strong muscles standing in the way of 2nd base” (appreciatively eye and grope abs/arms while you
are saying this). You can also do this by spilling a little beer on your shirt at the flipcup table while
saying, “Oh shoot, I’m so klutzy, I got myself alllllll wet” (bonus points for asking them to help dry you
off).
*Note: Booty Dropping to “ Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” while drunkenly waving around your ring
finger is NOT the appropriate way to get their attention. This will cause said males’ balls to retract into
his body and force them to run out of Sambas as fast as they can.
Step 3. Seal the Deal
Buy a pitcher of beer, pour them a glass, put it in their hand, and say
“I need you to drink this, because you need to be hydrated when I drain your body of all its fluids.”
Or
“Nice cleats, wanna screw?”
Or
“Is there a keg in your pants, because I’d like to tap that ass”
Although there are 3 steps in this practical guide, please note that there can be
just 1: buy them a pitcher of beer and grab them by their big red bouncy balls.
Easy, simple, straight to the point.
