Week one and two highlights

Requested by Travis, here are the season highlights. Please fill in any details I may have missed. I know Dan is working on that statistics book for The Wreckers, so perhaps his keen synopsis can paint a better picture.

Week one featured a showdown of epic proportions. Half Time Rec #1 returned a strong line-up from the 2006/2007 season of Joey, Kelly, Dan, Nick, Kael, and Dean. With unwavering attitude, the round one line-up fought hard and were rewarded with an early lead of what I remember as 5-2 and 6-3 at one point in time. The Urban Achievers chipped away at the lead, closed the gap to 10-9, and pulled off a win of 11-10. The line-up of Matt, Cait, Molly, and Josh found their grove late but well executed shots by Cait and Molly late in the game sealed the win. Rumors persisted of Captain Nick failing to post a score and tensions mounted for round two. Deflated, The Wreckers got off to a slow start and The Achievers went for the jugular. Joey and Nick subbed in for round two and were greated with several 'Noonans' and cat calls. Nick enjoyed a short lived effort of messing with The Achievers heads. Unfazed, The Achievers went on to win 11-not very many. The third game was won by The Wreckers, but at that point in time, Taco Man made sense to me when he talked, White Castle tasted like a fine steak, and I purchased drinks in the following manner:

Me: Pitcher of Miller Lite, two vodka-sodas, and six Bazooka Joes
Rookie bartender: how much is all this normally?
Me: I don't know, the price is always different here
Veterean bartender in background: Don't screw over the bocce league!
Rookie bartender: Just give me 20 bucks

All in all, it was a great opener and I'm proud The Achievers didn't back down to adversity.
Taco Man promised food and didn't deliver.


Week two featured another rookie team with the worst name in the history of world competition, Team Amy. Amy and her friends seemed no older than 17, yet caught on quickly to the fact that tap beer and moldy basements are a good combination for hilarity.
They faced The Achievers, which hosted two rookies that look oddly similar and sport the same name of Ben. Ben #1 played well in his debut, but The Achievers couldn't stack up to several, amazingly lucky shots from Team Assclowns and they were slaughtered 11-0.
Ben #2 arrived late but managed a strong showing in the second game. Several bank shots led to big points for The Achievers and they pulled off an 11-4 victory. Round two featured the beginning of Team Amy's trash talk. Their second spot player repeated the same joke of, "maybe we should get the tape. Ha, man. Just kidding, we're totally closer!" I politely told him to 'shut the fuck up' and he quieted down. This phase also marked the point in which the girls on the other team were no longer having fun and more than likely scared of me and my salty attitude. Imagine if Travis was there. Team Amy folded like a cheap suit and The Achievers marched to a 2-0 record.
On the green court, Half Time Rec #1 faced off against The Bombers. Fun fact from this matchup is that a player on The Bombers is Trevor's uncle. Unfortunately, I don't have many facts from this game other than The Wreckers fought back in game 2 to even up the match, but Dan "Mr. Clutch" Fitch lost his mojo and The Wreckers lost the third game and fell to an 0-2 start.
Taco Man once again fell through on a promise and didn't provide anything other than his presence. He came down to watch the games, eat a bag of chips, and tell us he was sick and that he didn't know when he would have food. Thumbs down to you, Taco Man.
