Three Stars of Opening Day 2018
March 27th, 2018
Third Star
Opening Day Crew and New Commishes
Arriving to the courts as the Opening Team means that you could be in store for just about anything. Special shout-out to the Denim Demons who cleaned up debris, shoveled snow with their sticks and had the brilliant idea to fill the fence holes with it. Those who played on the East Court definitely appreciated it (Karma did).
Man, that’s almost enough blow to get us through June.
New nets and cages! Woo-hoo! A huge round of applause to Sarah and the Brain, our new Commishes, and Shotgun Charlotte, local goofball, for procuring new nets and cages for the league. We’ve been asking for them for years and you actually listened. Thank you.
That being said, none of it would have been possible without the sweet hookup by the second best Stewart in all of BTSH. We owe you a beer.

Around the League – Week 1
March 26th, 2018Around the League is a new post we’re trying out this season where we recap Sunday’s games with what we’ve heard. We may not capture everything, but we’ll give you what we know.
The Rehabs got revenge on Fresh Kills by allowing no league subs but somehow they used Hicks. This game was worth two points.
Olivier fit in like a glove with Cobra Kai and they handed the Demons their first Katz Division defeat.
The Gremlins and Poutine delivered an exciting game that almost went to a shootout, but with mere seconds left in OT the mighty Poos slipped one in. Mikey and AJ took extra gravy with their meals. Read the rest of this entry »
2018 Opening Day Narratives and Predictions
March 23rd, 2018Rehabs at Fresh Kills
Narrative: Rematch of last year’s explosive PBR Cup Final.
Prediction: Rehabs unveil their new weapon (Hicks) and hand FK their first regulation loss since September 18, 2016, 4-3.
Awwww, come back to us Gabe and Ariel. We were only kidding.
Denim Demons at Cobra Kai
Narrative: Welcoming the Demons to the Katz Division are the wily Cobra Kai. Brad is one of the league’s best two-way defenseman, but Liam lead that trend back in 2016.
Prediction: A nail biter that goes into OT with Zach 2.0 (Demons’ shiny new toy) showing his worth by getting his team the W, 3-2. Read the rest of this entry »
2018 Caroline Division Preview

Fuzz (Midnight blue/electric lime)
2017: Last in the Soko Division; 9-7-2, 20pts, +3 goal differential; lost to Rehabs in the quarterfinals
The squad that was once, a long, long time ago, the brainchild of league legend Ben “Chadtrick” has been—for at least one full season—under the dictatorship of the full kit wanker Richie G. The former half of 2017 didn’t show great promise (3-5-0-1 in the front 9) but things stabilized, we suspect, when Jeff and Alexa finally tied the knot. Although having given the Gremlins a 6-0 drubbing in the Round of 16, the luck of the draw as the #11 seed didn’t prove advantageous, because they pulled the Rehabs for the quarterfinal game, gently crashing and burning to a 1-0 loss.
steM. New York City’s new number 2 baseball team.
With new co-commissioner /“pharaoh” Brian H. reuniting with Ramy on the Rehabs to make a steadfast Wolverine partnership, it potentially leaves Rich as the “strongest” person on the team. Gil reaching Yoda-age levels may be an issue as the season progresses, but he’s like a fine wine… please make sure not to lock him in a cellar, Rich.
Prediction: 2nd in the division, and they end their postseason in the quarterfinals. Read the rest of this entry »
