Well, as of yesterday we figured out that we were going to only have 3 players show for wiffle: Me, Joe Dean and Caff. Couey is coming, but not until around 1 p.m.
So ....
West Side Part Deux includes:
Me
Joe Dean
Caff
Cou (late)
Tim Clark & Brett Cloer (both good friends of mine from home and pretty damn good athletes, too.)
And possibly Cou's friend from work (female)?
Paco's boys had better be on their A-Game. Weavervegas and the West Side II is coming hardcore.

Bele Chere Invitational 2008: Who's There?
Trying to figure out how many of my homies I'm going to get to see next week. I know the usual will be there (minus Daven that I know won't be there ... and possibly Ivy if he gays out and goes downtown instead of to the hill). But will Shope and they Franklin boys be there? What about the usual ladies? I hope it rains this year. It's just not the Bele Chere Classic w/o rain.
Right now, the West Side is assembled and ready to go.
Dunbar or Web, could you guys fill us in on any rules changes, etc. we can expect this year?

Five days to go ...
So what's the situation? Any rules been laid down for sure? Any idea how many teams are coming? Is there going to be a pick-up (free agent) team? Do I need to get some money to somebody before I show up? What time is it starting? Is it BYOB or is it provided with the entry fee? Is it just me or is Ivy's butt really unattractive?

This is what happens to your toothbrush when you go to Mexico and trust the Cruiser's to feed your fish. Let the games begin.

New Ideas that are better then yours.
This is our disscusion from last night about money:
A--We did some math and figured out we need a $20 buy in per player. Each player is given a 12pk of beer at the commencement of the tourney. This beer must be finished to enter the championship, if in fact you do make it that far... so don't worry Buko, you won't have to drink that much. Addtional beer will be given to players who in fact want to drink more. Each team will be given a trash can and ice where they will keep their team beers, thus you might drink 11, while someone else drinks 13, no big deal. This not only saves cost due to dropped/bitched beers, but also ensures a moderate amount of alcohol consumption, and keeping freeloaders away from game supplies.
B--Food will not be provided
C--Addtionally we talked about proping up an apple basket behind the batter. The pitcher's goal would be to get the ball in the basket. If the pitcher did pitch two balls which hit the inside of the basket and the batter didn't swing, it would be an out. If the pitcher missed the basket three times it would be a walk, or man on first as we like to call it.
There would no longer be bitching about bad pitches, or people watching thirty pitches before deciding to swing, and the basket would as a result provide shorter games.
We have disscussed the idea of the ball staying in the basket, which would control the pitch speed, but that might prove more difficult then we imagine. The height and position of the basket is yet to be determined.
d--About the grounder/double/any fielder rule. I must disagree with weber that his fifth rule is the most important. It is bad. If the ball hits after the pitcher and rolls into the double it would be good because we need more hitting which increases game speed, the any fielder rule serioulsy handicaps the batter in the fact that grounders are not always guarnteed singles as they usually are when Ivy is pitching.
The biggest issue with the rule is that it can be hard to tell where the ball initially strikes the ground, and is even harder to tell from the field. If we do away with it I will be happy, and there will be one less thing to complain about from the Westside which is always beneficial.
E--Daven is not playing for Westside. We made him an offical Red Devil with a cirlcejerk 8 days ago. Skinny is also playing for my team, but hasn't been made offical yet.
F--We need to play this sunday, to iron out rules of pitching basket and double grounder thingy.
What do you guys think???

FOOD
Any Ideas? Even if everybody brings their own they will still require a methid of cooking it. We probably need a couple of Bigger grills and a shit load of charcoal. Or maybe let teams know upfront that they will have to bring their own team grill and kind of do it like tailgating.
