Follow-Up Question of the Week: Who Comes in 2nd? A Look at the B-Team's Competition

Some people seem to think that the B-Team will not win the Labor Day Invitational. Here's a look at the notable teams the B-Team is up against.

The A-Team, Bob and Fred
The B-Team's bitter rivals. The A-Team seemed to be the clear cut favorites to win the Ladderball Open. We all know that didn't happen. They blame their sub par performance on a few different things. Fred drank too much and tired himself out by doing push-ups in between games. Bobby the Bounce apparently couldn't focus due to having to man the grill and keeping party-goers happy. They say things will be different this time around. They definitely have the most pressure on them to perform well.

Team Leggins, Kyle and Alyssa

No strangers to the game, this team shows a lot of promise. They took down the A-Team at the Open but fell short when they played the B-Team. This team has a fire in their belly like no other. Kyle could possibly be the best player in the game. Rumor has it they will try and soften up the competition by feeding them tasty appetizers made by Alyssa.

The ZJ's, Rooney Bros.
The only team to beat both the A and B-Teams. They finished 3rd overall at the Open. However, no one has seen them since that night. Do they even still play ladderball? Eric seems to be a pretty solid player but the verdict is still out on his brother. Rumors are swirling around that he might be replaced by the athletically inclined Eric Wyzykowski.

The New Kids on the Block, Brian and Rita
Runners up at the Ladderball Open. Some say that this up and coming team's 2nd place finish was a fluke. They think differently. Sources report they have been getting a lot of practice in the Eddie Bauer League in Sewell, NJ. Brian has one of the nicest strokes in the game. Ol' Andy taught Rita damn near everything she knows about the game. Will that be enough to prove the naysayers wrong and win it all?

Or will it be someone else. Is there a sleeper team out there that will bring home the bacon? Ladderball Weekly wants to know what you think. Let your voice be heard.

  1. The ZJ's have been keeping a low profile, or at least as low as possible for individuals of such enormous physical stature, but competitors can be assured they have been honing their skills on an exact replica set of the one found in the backyard of the shipmaster resort. Shot selection, timely slanging, and top to bottom accuracy have all been emphasized points of practice.

    As for who will be representing the ZJ's on sunday afternoon, the world will just have to prepare for the unpreparable, as those are just two of many scenarios that could emerge for the big tournament.

  2. Apparently the B-Team believes that the orange ladder balls are bad luck and are cursed - choose wisely my friends. Note, the challenging team DOES NOT get to choose their ball color and has to shoot first.

  3. A source tells me the orange ball curse seems to have been resolved and both sets sets are flying and wrapping equally now. They are as close to identical to the green balls as possible, and should be played with confidence against all challengers; especially the large in stature, but lacking in intimidation BJs

  4. Since it has become common practice for commenting parties of this blog to sensationalize meaningless games:
    In an unfortunate turn of events last night, the A Team lost a tough, drawn-out 3 game series to the one and only champs. Was it the lighting, bad hops, or possibly the lack of alcohol consumption? Maybe the B Team was cheating? Whatever the case may be, there is a whole lot to be proven this Sunday, and my prediction is this: we will all realize there are many more pages to be written in the already lengthy "A Team book of excuses"
