Play Ball!!! (For Some)

The 2010 Winter kickball season began after two weeks of cancellations, but only for those teams playing on Memorial Park's Field #1.  Good news for teams like Brews On First, who finished the night with 2 wins, and Houston Taggers, but not very welcoming news for Balls In Action, who have been waiting to play since November 3.

The cancellation of only one field prompted Scott to immediately demand an explanation as to why B.I.A. would have to sit out for a third straight week.  Below is the city's official response on the matter:

Unfortunately, we are not going to be able to make up the games from
November 10th and 17th. There are no more available dates. The only
option is to issue refunds.

In reference to yesterday’s rainout decision, the fields were indeed too
wet to play. However, the reason why they were still not in playing
condition was because of damage done to the fields during last weekend.

A private organization that rented Fields #2 - #3 played on the
fields during the weekend when they were too wet and caused damage
to the fields.

We are sorry for the inconvenience this problem caused for your team.


Due to this, B.I.A.'s season is now reduced to six games, with their next two games being two weeks away, December 1 against Houston Taggers and Where My Pitches At, both on Memorial Park's Field #2.  Scott, although eager to get on the field, has expressed his frustration on the matter.

"I hope they can get these fields in playing condition by December 1.  This is completely ridiculous and unprofessional, especially to allow an organization to play on wet fields.  If we can't, why should they?"

Never in Balls In Action's franchise history have they had to endure three straight weeks of not playing.
