Around 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 »

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 »

After a long, painful and sometimes depraved four months off, the 2018 season is just about ready to get underway.  In 2017 the Third Division (aka the Katz Division aka the Welcome To The Johnson’s Division aka we really need to just settle on division names and be done with it) featured three of the league’s top six teams in points, multiple top scorers, the rookie of the year and some of the finest shotgunning and group sex this league has ever seen.  Cro and the Hookers are gone but the rest of the division remains along with a new franchise from the francophone region of BTSH.  Who will take the crown this year?  Who will be relegated to D4?  Who will drink the most?  Who will hook up with the most team members?  Answers to some of these and many of life’s other great mysteries below.

Cobra Kai
2017 Record: 13-5-0; 26 points, 5th overall, 2nd in division
2017 Pythagorean Win Expectation (based on goals for/against): 29.45 points
2017 Playoff Finish: Eliminated in the Sweet 16 by Math in a 12/5 upset.
Three Year Aggregate Points: 63 points

Slow down Olivier. You are heading over to Cobra Kai, not Gut Rot.

What’s Right: Cobra Kai rolled to a surprise 5th place finish and were in pole position in the division for basically the entire year until the final weekend of the season.  Led by LJ, Will, Liam and the ROY selection the shook the world, Campbell, they were a force to be reckoned with until the opening round of the playoffs when they were surprisingly eliminated by the 12th seeded Math.  Now they’ve added Olivier and are loaded up for another run at the division (and league) crown.  The question is, are they the heroes or the villains of their own story?

It is finally here.  After months of waiting, the 2018 BTSH season begins in just a couple days.  Because hype and excitement are at an all-time high we’ve decided that the moment calls for an entrance survey.  The media’s most devoted BTSHers (well, mostly) discuss their expectations, advice for rookies, futures of Gabe and Ariel, and the agave shortage.

The Beer that will make Instant Karma famous!

Q: What are you looking forward to most this season?

Walker (Gremlins): As much playing time as possible.

Cheeky (Butchers): Chilling at the greatest blacktop beach I know, playing some puck (or, I guess ball?), drinking some brews, poking fun at Glanzer, and watching the Rehabs fail to win another Championship.

Chadwick (Instant Karma): Impeachment proceedings. 

Probie (Gouging Anklebiters): Heckling Walker about his plus-minus, Monday hangovers, Ocean City tournament.
