Since I'm still in Stanley Cup Hangover mode (did that really happen?) I don't have an opening tirade, since I have nothing to tirade about (or about which to tirade, for your grammar-fascists) This does a lot to help one's disposition.
PART II: "The Soft Parade has now begun. Listen to the engines hum. People out to have some fun. A cobra on my left. Leopard on my right, yeah." - The Doors

The Boston Kreamers 5 over Pitch Please! 2
Pitch Please took an early lead scoring a run in the first inning. Once the pressure was on, the Boston Kreamers rallied back scoring 3 runs in the bottom of the 3rd. Craig M (Mr. Papagiorgio) held a tight defense as the starting and closing pitcher, and the Kreamers enjoyed their first victory.

Ninja Awesomenauts 14 over Waka Flocka Flames 6
Marking the second week working together, the Ninjapollo crew wrapped up a week of various maintenance tasks, science experiments and drills during the June 16 mission against Waka Flocka Flame. To prepare for the new league rival, the currently docked NASA' large kicking engines were used to reboost the station's productivity. The move increases the number of thrusting opportunities in the first inning, bringing a new high of 8 Awesomenauts to home base in the very first inning of play.
It seems the entire team put forth a good effort, getting runs on the board in mass numbers, but the Flames battled back, pushing the NASA core shields to the brink before running out of steam. Kudos to you, maroon warriors, we shall see you another time. Kyla rocked the MVP space suit for her mutliple base hits, crafty manuevering on the basepath and heated comments on the sideline. The sword of honor went to Rick, who was able to turn back to back at bats into a soft bunt single followed by a shooting star of a home run.
As for Waka Flocka Flame, they brought the heat this week scoring 6 runs against NASA. Although they didn't win the game, they did have some killer body paint including a very realistic fire breathing dragon (so realistic, in fact, that it is rumored that small children ran and hid in fear). This week's MVP goes to Jenny who managed to kick the ball into "outer space" getting her a home run and sending the Astronauts running (or flying?). The Flames also now holds the title of having “the biggest fake-out in kickball history” (as long as you don’t ask for a source quoting that). We would give you more details, but where’s the strategy in that? Overall, WAKA Flocka Flame continues to heat up both the field and bar with their ridiculously good looking players and extraordinary beer drinking skills.

Ball Busters 4 over Looking to Score 2
It was a pitchers duel for most of the day. Through four innings we were only able to push one across (that being Jordan) and trailed 2-1 going into the fifth. With Richie on first Tom kicked a homerun. Max tacked on an insurance run for the busters and we shut them down in the fifth thanks to a nice defensive play by Lindsey.

Victory is achieved one step at a time. But we cannot march to our own beat. Winning can only be achieved as a team (or if you are Charlie Sheen through copious amounts of mind altering drugs, an avalanche of porn stars, millions of dollars, and no shred of dignity) working together in harmony. Though the route may be long, and not cordoned off nicely by members of the Boston Police department, victory is only a march together away.
Good luck and Happy Kicking.
