Team Awesome 25 - East Side Ballaz Association 2
The Sophomore Thump
Team Awesome – ah, yes – you remember Team Awesome. The perennial purple losers; spunky, hard fighting, salt-of-the-earth types; short on wins but long on winning hearts and minds: the perfect underdogs you just can’t help but root for – even as they’re in the midst of falling apart. Rock of Love Two, come to think of it (except for without the weird lip implants). She’s so cute! kickball, and you know, who the hell actually takes kickball seriously? Friends, Ballaz – I’m sorry to tell you that we too were quickly disabused of our childlike naïveté. While our losses were nowhere near the magnitude of yours (25-2 in case you’re into particulars) we also took our lumps. We endured shattering offensive plays (like the grand slam homerun kicked in by star athlete and stone-cold ass-kicker Charlie White in Inning One). We watched as our runners were taken out on easy pop-flies. We feel the pain of being the new kid in town, that funny looking dork in the back of the room with the brand new Wranglers and giant white Reeboks you just can’t wait to Trash-can after Social Studies. Yes, Ballaz, we’ve been there, we’ve done that, we have the T-shirt and the balls to use irritating clichés in our write-ups.
We enjoyed playing against you, enjoyed drinking with you, and our mighty purple hoof (25-2 for you Math-letes). Because in the end, it’s not whether you win or lose. It’s how fucking awesome your mascot is.
Unicorns Forever!!!
