Our city’s kickball tournament was this weekend, and we started out as one of 16 teams battling for the Friedman Cup.

We won our first 3 games over some tough competition and made it to the final four. Sadly though, the ref (who had been drinking and admitted he would be “making some bad calls today”) totally fucked us on a terrible call. Even the opposing team was saying the call was bad, but it still cost us 3 runs. We couldn’t jump back from that, even with amazing defense. We scored one, and they scored one more before we ended the season 11-1.

So let this be a lesson to all aspiring kickball referees out there — DON’T DRINK WHEN YOU WORK. Some of our teammates were ready to pull his head off, no doubt.

But speaking of defense, I had a few great catches including one diving-roll that should’ve been on ESPN’s top 10. Some great over-the-shoulder catches by our outfielders, and the girls did pretty well too.

We’ll be taking the summer off, it’s just too damn hot in Atlanta for kickball in the summer. In the fall we’ll be back as RED DEATH, and we plan to take it all the way to the end as champions of kickball!
