Wiener of the Week


Well after taking a season off, there was an entire team that has basically forced me to bring back the Wiener Award. For those of you who don’t know, this award is reserved for the player(s) on the other team or your team who redefines the word “power-douche”. Whether it’s a girl getting too drunk or a dude who is just way too pro’ed out. So without further adieu the winner of the Wiener of the Week award is…The entire TEAM EASY squad! This team rubbed me the wrong way from the get go. After taking about 10 minutes to take the field we look up and they’ve got 13 players on the field. I don’t ask for much in knowledge of the rules but at least know how many players are supposed to be out there! Some of you may be reading this saying “well we kinda did that in our first inning too”, notice I didn’t specify an inning because it was EVERY inning. The next thing that rubbed me wrong was the multiple shoeless wonders on the squad, come on hippies this isn’t Woodstock, we wear shoes in this game! Wear shoes or don’t but until you do I’ll be praying someone stomps on your toes. To wrap this up, you guys looked like you were having fun, and hey I’m all for that, but lets respect the fact that the other team would probably like to play 5 innings and get your ass on the field with ELEVEN players. Do everyone a favor and please come next week actually prepared to play a game!

I can’t be everywhere at once so if you see someone actin’ a fool (hitting girls hard with the ball, being too drunk at the bar, screaming at an official/the other team, or if someone just flat out rubs you the wrong way) please email me the story with a name to jr0780@hotmail.com

Love,
“The Mug”

  1. They also switched pitchers half way through the game and asked for a few practice pitches (with beer in hand). This was after it took them 5 minutes to take the field.

  2. I also loved the power douchey guys who were trying to run up the score on a team full of new WAKA players. Way to make them feel welcome!

  3. Their captain was not at the game and none of them have played WAKA before so you guys could resist being so harsh speaking of welcome to WAKA. ha.

  4. One might argue that running up the score on a completely novice team and then slamming them on the blog for not knowing the rules well enough in week 1 of their first season registers a bit higher on the 'power-douche' scale than not wearing shoes. Get your Mug out of your ass.

  5. Oh Stephen, I didn't say anything about running up the score in my write up. As you know we have no problem with that. My problems were clear. Also pointed out in my write up was that I don't mind you not knowing the rules but the fact that you don't know you need 11 people after you've played a couple innings is the issue. If you're really that upset I can write an apology, just wait it'll come....
