Spring Dodgeball - Week One: A New Beginning.

That sounds so much more dramatic than it needs to be. You get the idea: the new season has started.

Yeah, those two weeks off were nice, but now it's back to the grind of sweating through my shirt because I'm throwing balls at girls. Daz Dillinger said it best: this is the life I lead.

We're looking good already. We've lost one member from last season, but gained a new one, so we're solid. And with everyone feeling more and more confident every time we go out there, it won't be long until we find ourselves in the World Series of Dodgeball. If such a thing existed.

A lot of the same teams are back, and while they continue to keep their names from previous seasons, we continue to change ours. This time out we're Team Awesome. It's a lot to live up to, though I suppose if we suck we can claim the name is ironic. So, in the end, it's a win-win. Speaking of win-win, that's what we did this week. Pulled off decisive victories over our first two opponents, and it feels good.

Next week should be a challenge, as we're up against the champs from last season, the same team that beat us in the playoffs. I'm already working up some Tonya/Nancy shit to pull in the parking lot, pre-match.

Keep that under your hats. Standings are here.
