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.

Happy Birthday $howT!m3!
Despite a flurry of activity this past weekend, the most monumental event was easily league side show Hector “$howT!m3” Melendez’s 26th birthday. Although many festivities were brainstormed for the occasion, only a handful came to fruition. $howT!m3 planned on making a grand entrance via car (or cat, we’re not sure) on to the Tompkins courts, but was unable to procure said means of conveyance (even the cat!). Thus, he was reduced to walking through the gates like a commoner. Even with this setback, the Rehabs’ victory was the sweetest present of all.
To continue celebrating his birthday and the Rehabs’ win, $howT!m3 planned on holding a 20 person Irish Car Bomb drinking session. Although he was only able to convince four other people to join him in this endeavor, it didn’t make his birthday any less special. Love for $howT!m3 was definitely in the air.

Week 3 Preview
Thursday, April 16th, 2009It’s Always A Good Time In The Schloeder Division
GAME OF THE WEEK
Mighty Squirrels (1-1) vs. Gouging Anklebiters (2-0)
Location: Tompkins West, 4:00 PM
All-Time Series: Mighty Squirrels lead 4-1-1
Game Notes: The Mighty Squirrels snapped a 12-game losing streak last week with a solid win against Mexican Standoff. After lying dormant for 75 minutes of play, the Squirrels’ offense finally awoke when Arthur “Lil Weezy” Revechkis scored their first goal of the 2009 season. Also promising was new goalie Eric Ramirez, who made a splash in his debut, holding the potent Standoff offense to no goals. With their two victories to open the season, the Gouging Anklebiters are already halfway to equaling their four wins from 2008. Their latest win, a stunning upset over the Rehabs, proves that the Anklebiters are putting their foot down and can no longer be taken lightly. The Anklebiters will look to stay undefeated as they face a familiar Schloeder Division foe.
Keys To The Game:
1. Nestor Nonato’s return to BTSH has buoyed the attack of the Gouging Anklebiters. His offensive prowess has been a key component to their fast start.
2. Despite getting a little dinged up last week (as usual), Mighty Squirrels shutdown defender Marie Marberg is probable for this game.
3. Eric “El Guapo” DiPierri scored the game-winning goal for the Anklebiters last week. However, captain Phil “Sandy” Donohue remains steadfast in keeping him relegated to the eighth line.
Eli’s Pick: Gouging Anklebiters. Another win or two and Charles DeFranco might even start talking some trash.
Derek’s Pick: Mighty Squirrels. Tim “(S)crappy” Gray has been conspicuously absent so far this season. This can only mean good things for the Squirrels.
