Triangulatin’
I had the privilege of attending a Replay post-game(s) show-and-tell for the first time this season. What a whirling dervish of revelry! Apparently, the spirit of this league is limitless. Members of many teams, together, sharing time and stories. Fantastic! It was great to chat with folks about kickball, life, Batman, the Royals, and anything else people were [...]

TKO once lost, now found
Friend, outstanding human being, and former teammate Tim Keogh learns a painful lesson about kicked balls. For me, this season hasn’t been the same without him. As a new father, he has responsibilities that keep him closer to home and away from the KVKL. Even so….he is missed. Yikes, ice down those [...]

Looking for a few games to watch this Sunday? I believe these are worth a look-see:
Lyons East – Weaver’s @ West Coast Saloon (5:30), Open Sky Landscaping @ Solidarity (7:00). Both games feature teams with solid momentum. These teams are adjusting to the competition, have tasted victory, and their respective confidence is growing. Good luck all!
Hobbs – Love [...]

The Craziness of Kickball.
As I usually have Monday off, I had been writing these posts early on that morning. Some big things happened (see below) on Sunday and Monday that kept me from this joy. The Royals beat the White Sox for a series win at the Cell for the first time in FIVE years (although I’m convinced [...]

Hillcrest hosted some high-quality kickball this week, for sure. The Brewballers and Liberty Hall see-sawed back and forth the whole game, before the Brewballers blew the [...]

Week 7, here we come…
After a full week of mind numbing proposals and RPI blather, I’m again ready to talk about kickball games. No offense, Coug. Speaking of, did any of you get a chance to listen to us on KJHK last Friday night (8 p.m.)? I meant to record the interview and podcast the resulting chatter on this site, but failed….miserably. [...]

RPI 101
Posted by Cougar:
Well, it’s back. I am using the RPI system (ratings percentage index) to rate each team in the KVKL. To me, this is the most objective method to rank teams one through 28. I first instituted this system last year and it had an impact (how big it was only lies in the [...]

There has been some grousing with regards to the KVKL Board and whether (or not) it equally represents ALL the teams in the league. Let’s briefly look at the constitution of the board: Adina Scanland, Mad Greek, John Brown Div. Curtis McCoy, Rangelife, William S. Burroughs Div. Deron Belt, Jayhawk Guttering, JB Div. Josh Hunt, Sacred Sword, WSB Div. Leslie Smith, [...]

Thinking of the Brew Ballers.
Please be aware of Dustin’s forum post regarding Jana Lynne Mackey. This was an incredibly tragic loss. Dustin has asked for a moment of silence before each of our games this weekend. We’ve a fallen comrade and owe her at least that. My thoughts are with her family, friends, and all whose lives she influenced (there were many). She was [...]

Water Tower in Week 5=War
Posted by Cougar:
Remember the song “War” by Edwin Starr from the 1970s (for a reference, it’s the song Jackie Chan sang in Chris Tucker’s car in the movie Rush Hour) where it starts with “War/ what is it good for?/ absolutely nothing. Well, war is absolutely necessary in Week 5 @ Water Tower Park, when [...]
