It's Anyone's Game

Last night was proof that it's anyone's game this season as the undefeated Eastern Bloc and second place Stonewall took a tumble by losing both of their matches. This was just the thing Gym Bar needed to take over the score board and come out on top. All of the top teams are currently tied for winning 6 matches, but it's the games that count! At this stage in the game, Gym Bar has a good lead on it's competition, Eastern Bloc, Pieces, Bamboo 52, and Carraway & Sciacca, who are all neck and neck for first. See for yourself here.

That being said, we think the teams have finally decided to bring their A -Game and try to win. We saw several underdog teams finally start stepping up to the plate, making it a VERY interesting season. Also making it more interesting is some of the team flair on the court. We don't know how Gym Bar does it, but they play in wigs. Yes, we never thought it would come to this, but if Kelly can still throw hard and look fierce doing it, hats off to him!

Last season it was socks, this season headware seem to be the team flair to wear. We saw pink banadanas on Carraway & Sciacca, blue bandanas on Pieces, "Angry Beaver" headbands on Henrietta Hudson's (how terribly ironic), bedazzled white karate headbands on Eastern Bloc, smiley face headbands (how very Watchmen) on G Lounge, dark hats on Besspots, and yellow do-rags on the Boy Butter team (cheers for making gay look so thug).

We will give props where props are deserved and give a shout out to the Eagle team who managed to have their shirts altered in different designs using small metal holes. Everyone's shirt is different, and we could see them totally wearing them out after. Also Pets at Play did some altering to their shirts, with interesting results. Adding a little color to white shirts definitely helped.

After the games people headed uptown to Splash Bar for some two for one drinks after party fun, only to realize it was Musical Mondays. It definitely made for a different kind of post play afterparty. When we saw Sergio and some newbies singing along at the tops of their lungs, we were happy to see there were some dodgeballers who were secretly theater queens in the league. All in all it was a nice change of pace. We are sure the after after party at Woof! was a little bit more of our pace, but as you know a change will do you good. xoxo

Case of the Missing After Party

In it's second week of play, albeit snowy winter play, most of league showed up for BAD! on Monday, and the games were intense. Eastern Bloc won both of their games again making them the team to beat in the competition this season. According to the stats, they are in first, but they haven't won the most games out of the league. Stonewall and Gym Bar have won 9 out 12, while Eastern Bloc has only won 8 out of 12. Although they have won more matches, which we think means more than winning more of the games.

Whatever place they are in didn't matter as we tried to steer clear on Monica in the open play, because girl looked like she was going to take off someone's head, and poor Lori looked like a deer in headlights as the last player standing against her in open play. We did see some new team flair, and we are loving it. Legally Blondes had pink bandanas and pink socks (BTW we loved Gilbride giving us full drag with the wig and vintage pink jacket), Henrietta's had some nifty green socks, Splash looked like they were going to war with the red face paint, and Eastern Bloc had some bedazzled headbands. All in all, the season is just beginning.

So we headed to G Lounge, and while we didn't quite get our flip cup fill, we did enjoy some tasty mixed drinks for once at after party. Although we felt like the place was a tad empty. I mean we loved that some of the after party favorites like Sergio, PTW, Endre, and Benji were there to mingle with, and we love that we spotted a newbie from Pieces with a shaved head macking it hardcore with the boys for a second week in a row, we just felt like more people would have come. All in all, we blamed it on the snow, until we stumbled upon some pictures from the night.

We are a little confused, was there an after-after party we weren't invited to, or was this an alternative after party headed up by some the ladies in the league? Granted we did the Cubbyhole several times last season, and it was really fun, but why would people go there instead of G Lounge? Also we could swear we some people in the photos who were definately at G, so are there dueling after parties after dodgeball now?

Whatever the case may be, we better make sure to keep our ears open at the dodgeball court and find out where the real after party is going to be. After all, if there is an after party, and we aren't there to crash it, was it worth going to? xoxo

Snowball's Chance in Hell?

Yes those crazy dodgeballers are braving the cold and playing tonight. No snow day for the dodging.

We suggest you check the schedule and get there mad early before your game time like usual. It's probably going to be slippery, so be careful.

Post-play party tonight is at G Lounge (225 W. 19th St. @ 7th Avenue). Hmm...sad no flip cup. We may have to actually make conversation. xoxo

The End Is Rear

Balls (literally and figuratively) were flying in the air on Monday at the final night of regular play for Big Apple Dodgeball. Flying so high that at least 5 people (that we saw) were hit in the face with a ball, and that wasn't even the tip of the iceberg (Kelly can't you just play nice??). We aren't sure if its just the intensity of final night play, some hidden animosity between players, or roid rage but whatever it was, it wasn't pretty.

We witnessed the vicious elbowing of Poppy by an Eagle teammate. She totally had a crater on her forehead, but what concerned us most is the paramedics that tried to convince her to go to the hospital, but just like Amy Winehouse she said, No No No. She was fine after an icepack and a drink, just what the doctor would have ordered!

Splash may have single handedly won the season, with United Shipping Company and Eagle competing for second and third place respectively. We give props where props are due, but they better bring it at next week's tournament.

When we asked Benji what he thought of reffing this season, he made this face and then proceeded to run to G Lounge for the after party. And what a way to end the season, we saw more couples pairing off than an singles cruise in Mexico. Perhaps Paul the Commissioner was just speaking to Spencer about the season, but we saw them get awfully close. Perhaps this wasn't the first time they hung out this week?

Also what was the deal with the side meeting of the minds? We saw a heavy discussion happening with V leading, Sanchez nodding, Sergio dancing, Weeks looking pretty, Dom getting icy, and Monica itching for a drink. We hope they were discussing something VERY important for that long, you know how we like to be involved in everything! We were jealous we weren't invited.

It was off to Cubbyhole for the after after party and boy did it deliver. The boys and girls got together for the impromptu danceparty and hookups indeed. We love that Dykey Mikey found a new boy lesbian in Craig who was totally willing to join him in all things lesbian. And could it be two certain teammates have found love on and off the dodgeball court. We know one of them may be in a relationship but it didn't stop them from making out in the corner! Like we said before, the after after party is always where it's at, two turntables and a microphone. xoxo

Post Play 11-24

We hear those dodgeballers are heading to G Lounge (225 W. 19th St at 7th Ave) tonight following their almost last week of the fall season. They got a lovely $4 draft special (after 9pm) and strong ass frozen cosmos that will keep you very warm on a cold winter's night.

I know, deja-vous right? We swear this week it's for real. We also love any reason to show off Week's backside. xoxo

Post Play 11-17

CORRECTION: 11/17 @ 3:55pm
Looks like those clowns at Big Apple Dodgeball partied so hard they couldn't keep the parties straight. Evidently, post-play fun tonight is at STONEWALL, not G Lounge. G Lounge is the following week. After-after party remains at Cubby tonight.

UPDATE :: 11/17 @ 1:20pm
According to our loyal readers, the after-after party is indeed at the Cubby Hole tonight. Who knew one party isn't enough for a Monday night? I think we need a disco nap. xoxo

G Spotted

While the games winded down, the drinks began to flow at the post-play spot G Lounge. Immediately we saw Brian and Jeff taking it down on the dancefloor while Dominic was grinding the lovely ladies of dodgeball. He was trying to show them the dirty dirty, but it was just plain dirty.We would like to thank Poppi for trying to get us drunk, and then calling us out on it. It's almost as if you set us up!

Hank is back this season and on the Stonewall Riots, after a little "R+R" they say, but we were more shocked to see he had a bizarro who kept grinding on everyone. Perhaps Hank 2.0 is a little bit sluttier than Hank 1.0? Ain't nothing like the real thing.

We also saw Edwin having his fare share of boys coming up to comment on his new pink attire, we thought for sure he wouldn't be going home alone when alas we saw him grab his coat and beeline for the door. Was there an after-after party we weren't aware of? You know you can always trust us to keep the party going. xoxo

Balls, B*tchiness and Bawdiness

Though there were some fashion snafus (team Logo shirts were white, not orange – GASP!), we managed to get through the evening with minimal ref bitchiness (*cough* Benji), and on-the-court drama (*cough* RJ charging the opposing team). But let’s focus on the positive – we HAVE tees-shirts. Yay!

A ball-catching pit bull with lipstick (affectionately), Vanessa V. single-handedly took out the entire MasterBeat team. And hats off to Jeff S. for A). being the last man standing in each of his Gym Bar games, and B). buying everyone within a five-foot radius of him a drink at G Lounge.

Also, we heard a comment about Splash being "the most handsome team" in the league. Well, it *is* kind of hard to disagree. Pun intended.
