Thank You Jamie (not fuck you Jamie)
June 8th, 2017Thank You Jamie (not fuck you Jamie)
From the entire BTSH media
Have you seen this man? Well, he’s seen you.
Jamie may be the only person ever who can snap so many candid photos of everyone around him without anyone thinking he is a creepy stalker.
For the last couple seasons or so, Jamie has been taking awesome photos every single week, and sharing them with the BTSH media for use in various articles and apparently for JW to occasionally mock the people in them. He clearly started doing this just for fun, and to capture some of the games, but it quickly turned into something much larger than that. Each week teams and players look forward to seeing their triumphs and their tragedies, the victories and the smiles, all in full technicolor (the millennials don’t get this reference).
Jamie’s first collage.
From the specific team collages to the “Week in pics”, we love it all. It’s even gained so much acclaim that I’ve had teams ask me when Jamie is going to finally do their team collage. (Cobra Kai, Jamie. They’re waiting with bated breath.) It’s especially nice when you miss a week, because these photos really tell the tale of what went down. Jamie has even progressed to taking some video now, which is an even bigger treat for us (not so much for Tim K., though.).
In recent weeks Tia has thrown her hat into the ring, vying for BTSH photographer of the year. Tia deserves our thanks as well, and we all love her photos. However, Jamie has been doing this a long time. You may have won some battles kiddo, but only longevity is going to win this war.
Zooming in for the money shot.
Thanks again Jamie, without you we would just be a bunch of people blathering on about Miller High Life, pop culture, and…wait what’s the other thing……oh, yeah, hockey.
BTSH Goes To Belmont
June 7th, 2017by Perko and Sam
This is Perko of Gut Rot. He likes to gamble. And every year, he puts together a rowdy bunch of bandwagon horse racing fans to throw down wagers at Belmont. He loves to gamble on horses so much, he will even teach you how to read those odds booklet things…
And, here is Perko’s message to all BTSHers. Let’s rock n roll this year, as BTSH goes to Belmont:
The illustrious Belmont Stakes, the final leg of the Triple Crown, is upon us once again for the 149th running and this year’s race looks like it will have some very long odds. (for you non-gamblers out there, that means you can make a lot of money!) The ponies will hit the track this Saturday, June 10th!
The first post (first race time) is 11:35 AM, so make sure to get your beauty rest Friday night because it’s going to be a long day. Moreover, they will be running LIRR trains direct to the track throughout the weekend, so you don’t need to be there that early.
This is an American pastime like no other (fuck the god damn polo match) and it will be our 4th year in a row participating. I do hope to see everyone there and if you have any doubts, you’re probably an idiot [slightly edited].
Tickets are listed at $25 on TicketMaster.com, but I’ll be reaching out to my admissions person to inquire about reduced cost tickets or ones without fees.
Very much looking forward to this very exciting weekend!
Please feel free to invite anyone who might be interested. Everyone is welcome to join.
Best,
Perko
P.S. Please reach out to Perko (if you have his phone/email) or Sam (via FB, email, or phone) to join in on the action. If you don’t have either, just ask your team captain for it, you ding dong!
Three Stars of Week 8
June 7th, 2017
Third Star
Scrimmages
On Sunday teams were playing at about 60-70%. Just look at how kind the Hookers are to let Roberts bring the ball up.
Mother Nature may have ruined the pre-season Free Agent Scrimmage, but so far she’s provided just enough precipitation to not call it a game, but also not call off the game. For the second time this half season we’ve been treated to a friendly with our opposing team for the week. (Although, some of us that have wiped out would prefer she not do this a third time.) While it won’t show up on the Schedule or Results these games deserve an asterisk.
Second Star
Cheeky from Mega Touch
Cheeky swears Rob ran into her blade.
Against all odds Cheeky put on a ridiculous defensive performance for her squad. Sharp passes out of Mega’s defensive zone, sacrificing her body by blocking shots, and frustrating the Rehabs forwards with each shift she took. She is now in conversation for the Best Defense and possibly the Rachel G Award for Snark, Style and Finesse.
First Star
Spirit of BTSH featuring Ben P from Mathematics (via Gouging Anklebiters)
Ready. Fight!
This guy gets it.
With Math desperate for a goalie and only 10 minutes to go before the puck dropped, Zach pleaded to the Sidelines for a hero to step up. Heeding the call to lend a helping hand, Probie put aside their divisional differences and put on those repulsive league pads (with the help of $howT!m3) and hopped in between the pipes for Math. Even though he had never played the position before (well, at least that’s the story Sam sold to the Tia and the Dark Rainbows,) and was a wee-bit pissed at the moment, he was able to post a 0.857 save percentage and secure the W. Thanks for keeping it BTSH-real Stinky-P.
Honorable Mentions:
Suvin M from Filthier – Mother Nature doesn’t bother this dude. Slicing through Karma’s defense he eclipsed his season goal total and plus one for a hat trick. In my opinion he doesn’t get enough credit for his contributions to Filthy.
$howT!m3 from Rehabs – coming out of retirement for the uncountable time he withstood the onslaught of Mega’s shots and posted another shutout to an already hall of fame BTSH career.
