Manatees split 1-1; Nicole stays up past bedtime

Stealing 1 win from a very strong “Straight Kickin’ It” team was a great way to kick off the year. By scoring runs from the very beginning, you would not have known there are 8 new-born manatees on this years team. Everyone played really well, except maybe the catchers, who let the creek do most of the catching. Special congratulations to Nicole, she didn’t fall asleep during the second game even though it was after 9pm! Next week the Manatees play some unknown team at 8:20pm…figure it out Scottsdale.

Below is a re-enactment of Steve T sliding into home plate:

Manatee 3-Peat

It should come as no surprise that the Manatee Kickball team won it’s third consecutive City of Scottsdale Monday night championship this past week. An extra innings walk-off RBI sealed the victory on a rainy summer night. The highlight of the playoffs had to be ManaSTEVE thinking 8 feet of mud was an acceptable habitat for his Manatee body. Coming in at 2nd place is Gabe getting some brown substance all over the front of his shirt and claiming it’s just tai food. Our overall record is now 67-13-2 which gives us a winning percentage around .817. We cannot be stopped.

The recent dominance by the Manatees has fueled speculation that the team will not return for it’s sixth season. What do you think? It would be $20/person from September 28 – November 23rd

Some environmental group recently freaked out about people swimming with Manatees in Florida. I don’t know about you, but as a Manatee, I wouldn’t mind if someone came into my house and rubbed my belly…

The Last Month…

A lot has happened in the world of Manatee Kickball in the last month. We won our second straight City of Scottsdale Kickball Championship! There was little competition in the playoffs, the closest game was actually the first game against the lowest seed in the league. We were going to skip the summer session, because of this, but everyone got all mad sea cow about it so we decided to play. The competition has been fierce thus far. After two opening week blowouts, we barely squeaked by with two wins the following week. Season four MVP Andy Gulbis will return week 4 and hopefully give the offense some much needed power. The Manatees will continue their unbeaten dominance this season and hopefully win a third championship. We are 36-1-1 in our last 38 games!
