Week 6 News and Notes
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009Now Fresh Kills Can Look Like A Team
Hot Styles Coming Through
In an effort to draw closure on the “Hollywood” Jeff Lesser era, Fresh Kills tossed aside its trademark powder blue tank tops for a new look. Gone is the old design of a fish skeleton and tin can, replaced by two ornithological creatures that appear to be seagulls (or crows or vultures or whatever else might fly over a landfill). The uniforms once again feature numbers on the back. However, since each number represents the respective player’s year of birth, there are no numbers higher than 63.
Not to be outdone, the Mighty Squirrels also debuted a new jersey (New Jersey!) on Sunday. Although the new shirt bears the same crest logo as the old shirt, it is made of a more breathable fabric, enabling the Squirrels to burn off all of their excess alcohol in a more comfortable fashion. In addition, with league members no longer going to Iggy’s, captain Rachel “A-Korn” Greene has already secured sponsorship from new league bar, the East Village Tavern, whose logo adorns the sleeve. The Squirrels are also expected to unveil their “Team (S)crappy” jerseys any day now.

Week 6 Preview
Thursday, May 7th, 2009The Sky Fighters Are Hungry For A Win
GAME OF THE WEEK
Sky Fighters (3-1) vs. Dark Rainbows (3-1)
Location: Tompkins East, 2:00 PM
All-Time Series: Dark Rainbows lead 3-2
Game Notes: After a successful 2008 campaign, the Sky Fighters have continued to wow a once skeptical BTSH crowd. They have won three of their first four games, with the lone blemish coming at the hands of the What The Puck juggernaut. Under the smashmouth approach of captains Amy Lott and Dan Hopper, their staunch defense has only yielded seven goals so far this season, highlighted by holding What The Puck to its lowest one game total. Unlike the rising Sky Fighters, the Dark Rainbows have been perennial contenders for several seasons. After a season opening loss, they have won their last three games in a row and seem poised to once again finish towards the top of the standings. They boast an extremely balanced and deep offensive attack, as their 12 goals have been scored by seven different players. The outcome of this Schloeder Division game will likely hinge on whether the Sky Fighters’ vaunted defense can hold the Rainbows’ multi-dimensional offense in check.
Keys To The Game:
1. Despite the Sky Fighters claims otherwise, defender Martin “Ocho Cinco” Cejka is the primary component of their offensive attack. His seven goals represent half of their total scoring.
2. Trevor “White Jesus” Tyrrell’s transition back to offense has gone swimmingly. He now leads the Rainbows in scoring with three goals.
3. Dark Rainbows captain Sean Reynolds is brimming with confidence. He boasts, “We wear pink and it’s Mother’s Day. How can we lose?”
Eli’s Pick: Dark Rainbows. Sean’s logic works for me.
Derek’s Pick: Sky Fighters. Sean’s logic would work better for me if their jerseys weren’t faded to white.
