Heat Fears Make-up Previews – Part One
Thursday, September 6th, 2018Gut Rot at Denim Demons – 12 pm, East
How in the world did GR agree to a 12 pm game?!? Vegas is taking bets at +/- 5.5 players present for them when the game begins and the game actually beginning +/- 16.5 minutes late.
Well, there’s a lot riding on the line for Gilligans and Gut Rot in this game. With two precious points up for grabs that will ultimately seal their final place in the 2018 standings; they can’t afford to be lackadaisical on any shift. Playoff seeding is vital and no team wants a date with the Butchers.
Same can be said for Boatsex Brad and the Demons. With two precious points up for grabs that will ultimately seal their final place in the 2018 standings; they can’t afford to get all slapdash on any shift. Playoff seeding is vital and no team wants a date with Mathematics.
Prediction: with the early timeslot already working against Gut Rot it will be the Demons starting Sunday off right with a win, 3-1. (more…)
If the 2018 playoffs started today…
Tuesday, September 4th, 2018If the 2018 BTSH playoffs were to start today (or this Sunday), here’s how the match-ups would look based on the current standings. And while we’re at it, let’s go ahead and predict the whole thang. And…we’re off!
Opening Round
20. Tompkins Square Riots at 13. Mega Touch
Prediction: Classic southeast division match-up that favors Alok and Mega as they swept Dave and the Riots this year. Having said that, defeating a team three times in one season hasn’t been done since Karma crossed the Elves arms over their chest and put them to permanent rest in 2015. Still, we like Mega 3-1.
19. Dark Rainbows at 14. Butchers
Prediction: Well, it was a good run for Katherine C and the Rainbows during the second half of the season, but it ends here. Creamy, MDF and the Butchers have so much pent up frustration that the Rainbows will be left walking funny for a week. Butchers move on 9-0.
18. Gut Rot at 15. Denim Demons
Prediction: History suggests that Josh and the Demons should cake walk through this one (and they’ve been playing better lately too), but Peaches and Gut Rot are known to pull an upset out of their rear. Even though GR has the edge in goaltending (no offense) the Demons will win 3-2.
17. Sky Fighters at 16. Mathematics
Prediction: What an unfortunate way for Math to end a miserable season, but perhaps it is for the best. Despite the veteran savvy of Justin, Amy and Brad, the young guns on the Sky Fighters will be too much for them. Carlin, James, and Matt move on to the Round of 16, 4-3. (more…)
Three Stars of Hockey Beach 2018
Thursday, August 30th, 2018by Rich
Another Ocean City weekend is in the books. Unfortunately, the usual drunken debauchery was hidden from me as those who stayed in the Cayman Suites seemed pretty tame. But that doesn’t mean there were heroes and villains. And while I hate giving my competition exactly what she wants, Cat…I have beef with you. Today, I’m not just giving the stars to winners. Two of these stars are losers!
10 Things I Learned At Ocean City (aka Hockey Beach 2018)
Wednesday, August 29th, 2018by Dave GDR
By this time, BTSHers and all other types of ball hockey players have left Ocean City, MD far worse off than how they found it. Hockey Beach 2018 was yet another raging success that encompassed the Crab Shack, Seacrets and the Shortis rocking a four-peat to ensure their legacy as a legit dynasty. To that end, the three days of debauchery that was unleashed on this quiet beach community yielded plenty in the way of memories, hook-ups and the subsequent gossip that goes with this type of affair. (Oh yeah–and hockey. Lots of hockey). In all seriousness, thanks once again go out to Matt “Worky” Workman for making this weekend one of the most highly anticipated dates that pop up on the BTSH calendar. Without further adieu, here’s what I learned at Hockey Beach 2018. (more…)
BREAKING NEWS: Dark Rainbows Sign Yetter
Friday, August 24th, 2018Bob Mckenzie reports that the Dark Rainbows have officially inked free agent Mike Yetter to a team friendly max contract.
Yetter will be paid $3 Pale Ales with a $5 Narragansett due at signing and performance incentives that could go as high as 2 Slurpees per game.
The newest Rainbow could be heard yelling “Blakwolf, baby!” repeatedly at team officials upon signing according to sources.
When reached for comment team co-Captain Cat Boyd said, “He’s BEEN on the team!” Yetter has been widely criticised in recent weeks with some calling the journeyman Center a ‘man of many shirts’ but his production cannot be denied. “Well he scores, so that’s cool” says Boyd.
This is the most recent win for the surging Rainbows who are eyeing a deep run in the playoffs. “I mean, I’ll call him Blakwolf if we keep winning” said Boyd.
