Final Four: Tuesday, 8/1 @ 6:40 p.m.

Hello team,

It's the moment we've all been waiting for -- the kickball Final Four! We are matched up with the top-seeded Monkeys and are slated to play them tomorrow, Aug. 1 at 6:40 p.m. Depending upon the outcome of that game, we would play a second game at 7:20 against the winner of the Kids Who Can't Read Good/Ball Busters game for the championship. Fields will be set up at 7th street again.

Please let me know if you can make it!

Thanks.

Hello team,

Don't forget that our final regular season game is TODAY, Monday, July 24 at 6:40 p.m. We will also be playing tomorrow, July 25 in the first round of the playoffs - kickoff time TBA.

Today's game is against Kids Who Can't Read Good, which was postponed from last week. I know it's short notice, but please try to let me know if you can make it (send your status for both days). Thanks.

Week 8: Tuesday, 7/11 @ 7:25 p.m.

Hello team,

It's been a while since we last played, but there is still more kickball to be played. There are two regular season games left, tomorrow and next Monday, and then we have the playoffs after that.

Tomorrow's game is against the Kickbrawlers who we were originally supposed to play on May 9, but then got bumped because of bitter park rangers. Please let me know if you can make it! Thanks.

Postponed Game: Tuesday, 6/27 @ 6:40 p.m.

It was a tough week for sports fans this week as the Donkies suffered a one-point loss to the Gators in kickball and Team USA lost by a point to Ghana in the World Cup. But unlike Team USA, we are still in this! We dropped to second place in the standings, but our team plays better with a chip on our shoulder and next week we can return to form against our WAKA rivals, Kids Who Can't Read Good. Game time is 6:40 on Tuesday and it is our team's turn to squat (hold the fields) . Kara has graciously volunteered to do so, so the earlier you all can get there to help her fend off pesky softballers, the better. You know the drill - let me know if you'll be there.

p.s. Props to those that showed up at the bar and redeemed the Donkies in flipcup!

Week 7: Tuesday, 6/20 @ 7:25 p.m.

We are alone in first place with a 5-1 record, but this week's game against Kickin Gators at 7:25 p.m. tomorrow, should be a challenge. Although they're a new team, they're 4-2 and were able to knock off We Kick Balls, the team we lost to, with a score of 8-2. Please let me know if you will make it and if you'd be able to ref the early game at 6:40 (preferably someone who hasn't reffed yet this year). Thanks.

Week 6: MONDAY, 6/12 @ 7:25 p.m.

What an exciting finish to yesterday's game! If anyone wants to write a recap of the game in Andrea's place, send it to indy_kickball@yahoo.com by Friday evening. Don't forget that next week we play on Monday at 7:25 against Why Daddy Drinks (another top 5 team). Please let me know if you will make it and if you'd be able to ref the early game at 6:40. (someone has to step up next week as I won't be around to cover for the team).
