Don't miss Gaines' hotel room tribute. Heal quickly brother.
I played in a Chippy Poker tournament the other night in Plymouth. One of the prizes was a Jake's Sports Cafe t-shirt. This very drunk girl declared that if she wanted a t-shirt she could just sleep with the manager. I did not win any prizes.
The Indomitable Drinky Crows started a new season yesterday. We lost 2-1, despite outshooting the opposition by a factor of roughly five. Sometimes that happens I guess. Not surprisingly both opposition goals were scored while I was playing "defense".
The Minnesota Thunder's absurdly dense schedule continues tonight. They take on the Rochester Raging Rhinos at 7:05 p.m. at The Jimmy. Then tomorrow night they host Mexican 1st division club Dorados up in Blaine. That will make for five games in seven days. The club continues to scuffle. The Thunder (4-5-6) have played six of their last seven games at home--but have managed just five points from those contests. They currently sit 10th in the 12-team table. However, in terms of points per game (the most accurate indicator of how a team is doing), the Thunder are actually in 7th place, just behind the Atlanta Silverbacks. In other words, despite playing mediocre to poor throughout the first half of the season, the Thunder are just one team back from the playoff drop zone. Three points are vital tonight, especially considering that the squad will now hit the road for four of its next five games.
Damian Stewart is a vicious thug.
