Week 5, Not 3 Stars

Wednesday, May 7th, 2014

We can’t all be winners at life, and remember, with every winner, comes a loser. We at The Authority feel its better to let someone lose with dignity and grace, then rub it in. Except when it comes to these three.

The *Real* Stars of Week 5

Tuesday, May 6th, 2014

So yesterday we put up stars 4-6 of Week 5. We at The Authority felt they played great and deserved our love. But the backlash that you, the BTSH Universe, gave us has been unprecedented. You only want the top 3 stars.

Gil demands that we show only the top 3 stars of the week. Especially in a week where he gets a goal and three assists.

Week 5…3 (of 6) Stars

Tuesday, May 6th, 2014

BTSH Universe….I’ve got some baaaaaaaaad neeeewwwwsss. Since there are no games next week there will be no previews. However I’ve also got some good news. Since there are no previews, we could do more than 3 stars, so we’ll double up and hand out six. And actually…that’s not good news that’s great because instead of 397 people feeling shame for not being recognized, only 394 people this week should hang their heads low. 

Time ticks a little slower this week with no games because of Mother's Day

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.

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!

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!)
