"We Like You So Much We Ranked You" (On-Site #2)
7/20/14
Devin Nelson featuring the MNWA Gophers
We all know where teams finished in the tournament, and we decided to rank them a little differently this time around. These rankings are based on how much we enjoyed our time with and or without these teams at the NWLA Tournament.
14. MYWL
They didn’t show up, they disbanded their league, they made us play at 6:15 A.M. and they’re probably racist.
13. WSEM
They won the tournament. #wewinthings? Nobody likes winners. On the plus side they had awesome socks, and the moustaches were on point.
12. TBW
No one from MNWA talked to a single TBW player. They also beat our OCWA friends. Also, Linderman didn’t draft me to his all-star team.
11. GBL
Once again, not a single GBL player talked to anyone from our league, and vice-versa. They spent too much time in the tent or away from the field.
10. CWBC
Were they the Nuggets? Aaron can hammer the ball as he did in the home run derby, but that’s all I really heard about this league. Trent appreciated Dennis Johns’ tribute to The Ultimate Warrior in using his song as a walk-up song.
9.HWL
They never even got us juice boxes. Josh Smith could make a solid living as a stripper. I mean did you see that 6 pack? No wonder the man managed the Brew Jays. They are surely our “rivals” from this tournament. I forgot to mention: Apology accepted.
8. SRL
Bill, Beau, and Mitch played they their hearts out. I half hate them for drawing so many walks, but they figured out early that was the way for them to win. Hopefully they come back next year and have some more fun.
7. HVWBL
They have a weird logo. Hopefully they change that. They were nice about absolutely hammering us after our tough loss to HWL. Hopefully we get to know them better next year.
6. KWL
We share a special bond because we played the 6:15 A.M. game. Also because “that one guy” (AJ Tate) asked us about ice fishing. Brian Lewis, their manager, was a real nice guy.
5. PWL
Chris is from PWL, and he threw the best Wiffleball tourney in the nation. They did beat our buds from OCWA, but that dude he pitched against them had some NASTY stuff.
4. WWL
Even though they beat us, and were hung-over as F*ck, they were still a nice group. They won the Dangerfield bracket, so that counts for something. We have no extra hats either “Johnny Lasagna." They did let us hit 5 home runs. Also that ball did hit Kevin’s foot in the 5th inning lol. Tough Luck.
3. MWLWI
They came out and proved everybody wrong; They got 6th and beat some damn good teams on the way. They were members of the “Staybridge Suites Club” and Mike likes the Vikings. We both also have our “issues” with WSEM. Last statement about Mequon “dat name doe”
2.OCWA
Where do I start? Tomkins drafted me to his All Star team, and is funny af. Randy Bush had a mullet. He cut it, and became Ryan Bush. They may have lost to Tampa, but they’re higher than Tampa on our rankings so that’s what matters.
1B. SWBL
We love them all. Sam teaches music. Gus had a cool headband. Chris liked Minnesota sports. Ty has a ginger mustache. Edloe has an awesome name, and may have made the best “drunk finals weeks purchase” EVER. They beat us worst than anybody, and we were completely o.k. with that. P.S. we’re joining your league next year. Skibbe is Wiffle #skiffle
1A. HRL
There is more than one reason HRL ends up at the top spot of this list. Here are 15 reasons why we loved them:
1: Homeboys
2. H8r’s bucket kicks, chair throws, insults, and HR celebrations
3. Variola Major (Small Pox) (Tyler Flakne)
4. Truck is amazing
5. Their 2014 NWLA Tournament Champs Banner
6. Eddie Bauer is nice as “crap” (Trent’s Words)
7. Vlade “Seemed” to “enjoy” our presence, and had a cool beard
8. Dr. Suess is cool under pressure
9. The Ball is never dead. EVER.
10. Beardface had the coolest beard
11. Chris “ Megabeardface” had a cool beard
12. H9K is an even closer to home boy
13. Handsome Mat had Fancy as his walk up song & nice hair
14. Two Bat (why’d you only use one?)
15. We all know got screwed vs. WSEM #umpssuck
Special Thanks to all the teams who participated in this years tournament, hopefully we’ll see you all back here next year!! Have a safe trip home, and good luck with the rest of your season
