-Black Vatican City, July 16
In a stunning upset, the Ball Dodgers (AKA "Rules Nazis"), won their first game this evening. Their opponents, the aptly named "Sitting Ducks" were 2-2 coming into the match, and seemingly had no idea what was in store for them. Playing without their manager/coach Troy Scott, and anchor dodger, Maggie Scott, it looked like the 0-4 Dodgers would have a rough time of it, but clutch performances from interim captain Britt "the Squid" Standage and Brendon "Vanilla Fresh" Orr, along with a great walk-on performance from newly acquired free agent "Big Gay" Jim Osborn, helped the underdogs squeak out a victory against the stunned Ducks.
The Dodgers took a more defensive strategy, following the lead of injured thrower, Linus "the Gimp" Furious. "We just started working the back line, and let them throw themselves out" said Furious after the game, with his destroyed elbow in a bucket of ice and Coronas with lime. This defensive strategy paid off, as all of the Dodgers had catches, a first in team history.
The Dodgers have a well-timed bye next week, hopefully allowing them to field a healthy team as they square off against Cinci D's on July 30th. Cinci D's is heavily favored to win.
Upset!

dang, I wish I didn't have to work. I would have loved to be there.
I caught a ball! It was VERY exciting. :)
and you looked damn fine doing it Jim! ;)
Everyone really played well last night. It was a blast. It also helped that the other team was comprised of great sportsmans/womans.
DEFENSE! DEFENSE!
It's true what they say, beer won is better than beer ... um ... not won...
er... W0000 go team!
watch out for the flying V. Wait wrong movie.
*CHEEERS*
That's BADA$$!!!!!!
I'm so proud of you guys!
Now you know that since the Sitting Ducks won twice before your match that there is great potential for at least 2 more wins for the Dodgers!!!
I'm also sad that I couldn't be there to cheer you on.
One day someone should really video-record a bunch of Handball, Dodgeball, etc activities that the Flock Hall gets into. THEN it could be edited into a fan-tastic set of clips.
The more I think about it... This "Clip-Show" is something i'd really love to see.
When someone pulls off an amazing feat in handball, dodgeball, volleyball, boomerangs, etc., we frequently joke about "that's one for the highlights reel!" Maybe there is an actual call for some clips of our physical prowess. G-Fresh owns a digital video camera...
I love how the descriptions make the Flock sound like it's comprised entirely of athletes.
Mucho congrats on dodging those balls!
(That's something I never thought I'd say to this crowd.)
Mandy,
We ARE all athletes! (sex is a sport, right?)
Congrats to the Flock Dodgers!
Do we get to break Modig by explaning "sport fucking" for 20 comments now? ;)
Modig's sensitive heart be damned! Sport Fucking is a venerable tradition with a long and illustrious history, and I'll not hear otherwise! The proud Sport Fuckers among us will certainly feel the same, right?
I think that deserves an amen!
Oh dear....chaos is bound to ensure now.
But we won!! Great job guys! *sniffs* I'm proud of my team, it just makes me all teary-eyed. Troy and Maggie would be proud, that we pulled out a win. Oh and Linus don't forget the amazing catches Tara had!
Do we have "proud" Sport Fuckers? I always thought that was game of shame and secrecy, with the objective of racking up the honeys but never letting the dolts at the watercooler know...
Britt, good call! Tara was the MVP for at least one of those games.
Linus & Nerdy, I am running away with my fingers in my ears while shouting so that I may avoid learning anything more about sport fucking.
*runs away before soul is corrupted*
Mmm....souls are tasty
As for pride among sport fuckers, I say it is a matter of style. Some like to be the surreptitious sneaky sport fucker. Others - like myself - never made any bones about the sporting nature of my pursuit of the opposite sex. If some are not comfortable with that, all I can say is "hate the game baby, not the playa."
It's true, the boys in the flock don't seem to be too shy about that sort of thing. Hell, if you look hard enough I think you can find rookie cards for most of us...
Wha?! And just what would be ON those rookie cards, Flynn? I might have just found my first reason to get an ebay account... ;)
I'm imagining a glossy picture of the "player" on the front, and a table filled with vital stats on the back - you know, measurable things, like... circumference.
Neat. Like trading cards? Can someone collect an entire set of Flock rookies?
wtf (what the flynn)
I leave for two minutes and *poof* there are now votes for the MVP of Sport Fuckers.
*le sigh*
Next thing you know you'll add Harry Potter's Wang onto one of the Flock Rookie cards and put them up on the blackvatican.com site as swag.
Who is the Flock's MVP anyway... ya know self-sport doesn't count.
Are you volunteering, WNG? :)
