Homestar and Pom Pom take on literally all the other main characters in a game of kickball.



* BaitAndSwitch: When Coach Z disputes one of the Umpire's calls.
-->'''Coach Z:''' I don't know what kinda low-rent, three-bedroom, two-bath, section 8 sport you're playin' here... but I'm playing women's lacrosse!



* CheatersNeverProsper: Played with and subverted. Strong Bad has way more teammates than Homestar, but this is due to Homestar choosing Pom Pom for all his picks... Or so everybody thinks. Homestar technically cheats by performing a double side-mouth whisper draft to secretly get Strong Sad on his team, but because Strong Bad wrote in the rulebook to make it considered legal, Homestar gets away with it.
