Week 5 Preview: Part II

May 2nd, 2014

GOTW: Butchers at Gremlins

It’s an all Kazin Conference week for the featured games, as our second Game of the Week features a couple of Glanzer Division squads.  Last week, the Butchers downed the Dark Rainbows for a second consecutive win, while the Gremlins struggles continued with a shutout loss to Cobra Kai.

Keys for the Butchers:
They have moved on well from the off-season defections, and that opening week loss to Fresh Kills seems so long ago.  Wins against Filthy Gorgeous and the Dark Rainbows have the Butchers spirits soaring, and their new players have been leading the way. 

We found Jeff!!!!!

We found Jeff!!!!!

Some guy named Jeff Laniando potted four goals in their two wins, Tim Burke has been steady between the pipes, and Meredith returned from her sabbatical to anchor the defense.

Tim says he will stay with the Butchers til the Expos get back together.

Tim says he will stay with the Butchers until the Expos get back together.

There was even a random Gary Kowalski appearance on Sunday, as Rachel seems to be getting nostalgic for the days of the Mighty Squirrels.  Who shows up next?  How about Andrea Schloeder?  Or Eric Breitman?  Wait, Mungo?  Please, please let it be Mungo!  Remember when he used to do comedy sets at the season-opening party?  Those were epic.

Keys for the Gremlins:

Even though they are 0-3, the Gremlins must be doing something right, because how else would they get a cushy Game of the Week spot?  Marketing, that must be it.  Sad Jamie and his other, less frequent, iterations have been all over this site since the season started, and why not, since the only time he has been kicked out of the crease is when someone shows up in a town car.  Unfortunately, this “All Jamie, all the time” blitz has obscured the rest of the Gremlins.  John Walker, Luke Berg, and a bunch of other people we don’t really know are getting buried right now.  The key to ending this? 

We want to write about other people besides Sad Jamie!

We want to write about other Gremmies besides Sad Jamie! But in the mean time we made Sarah T. and Jo-Ann very happy with another cat picture.

Scoring some goals.  Only two goals through three games is not going to move the needle.  Put some on the board, Gremmies, and the accolades will follow!

If Jamie smiled more often, maybe he wouldn't be so sad.

If Jamie smiled more often, he wouldn’t be so sad.  Maybe Julie can teach him.

Prediction
Even though he had to latch on to the rising tide of Fresh Kills, Jamie did get his first win of the season on Sunday.  With that taste of victory still fresh in his mouth, maybe he can now spur the Gremlins on to a victory.  Sad Jamie is slowly morphing into Happy Jamie, and the Gremlins prevail, 3-1.
Rich’s Pick:  I’ve played a lot with Arnold lately. At the charity tournament that Rachel rigged so she would win my team purposely took him out and busted his nose. Arnold didn’t miss a shift. Respect. Respect. Butchers 3- Gremmies 2. Sad Jamie, remains sad.
Derek’s Pick:  At the beginning of the season, I really thought Sad Jamie and the Gremlins would make a nice little run.  It’s make or break time.  This game is divisional, and an 0-4 record would put them into quite a chasm.  They realize this and notch a 4-3 win. (P.S. Eli, you remind us of all those old-timey Mighty Squirrel players, but no Tim “(S)crappy” Gray mention?  For shame!)

Week 5 Preview Part 1

May 1st, 2014

This has been an exhausting week for me. Derk and Elly are watching the Rangers Game 7, so now I’m forced to write this preview a day earlier than I wanted to. But I’d rather not get into a public spat about how much I’ve been carrying them this whole season.

Sometimes I do so much and they do so little I feel like an old Papua woman.  (BTW, my obligatory Becky Norris mention is this Papua woman can beat Becky in arm-wrestling)

Sometimes I do so much, and they do so little…I feel like an old Papua woman.
(BTW, my obligatory Becky Norris mention is this Papua woman can beat Becky in arm-wrestling)

So now that we got this drama out of the way its time for our Game of the Week! Before the season, a Mega-Poutine matchup did not seem like it would garner a ton of GOTW action, but last week, both teams pulled off impressive upsets and deserve The Authority’s attention.

Week 4’s Three Stars ***

April 30th, 2014

This was a real busy week for BTSH, as we not only had a full-slate of games, but we also had the Rose Charities Tournament. We will have the full story next week on the tournament, but for now, enjoy the three (actually four) people who did better than you this week. 

To these four, you deserve all the glory.  To the approximately 396 other BTSHers, you all should feel shame.

Third Star: ***
Nick Barretta, Rehabs.

Barretta had another impressive week at BTSH. He scored an impressive goal at the charity tournament and volunteered to ref for free. Then on Sunday, he came in early to ref the 1 and 2 p.m. games.  Unfortunately for DiPierri Jr., the Rehabs lost a heartbreaker to Poutine, so Nick will have to settle for the third star.

Unfortunately for DiPierri Jr., the Rehabs lost a heartbreaker to Poutine, so Nick will have to settle for the very unimpressive third star. Thank you for all your volunteering Nick, but maybe try to be good at hockey too.
