Filthy and The Rehabs Have a Long, Strange Journey From Moffo to Corlears
Due to a postponed game, Filthy Gorgeous and the Rehabs had double duty on Sunday. In addition to having to make up their game against each other at Moffo, each had to play a second game at Corlears. The results for both teams were mixed. Although Filthy kicked off the day with an impressive shootout victory over the surging Rehabs, they could only muster a tie against LBS. On the other hand, the Rehabs rebounded from the heartbreaking loss to Filthy with a convincing win over the feisty Cobra Kai. Although neither team managed to sweep the day, both added three points in the standings, keeping them high in the upper tier of BTSH.

2008 BTSH Ladies All-Star Party from Erik Price (filmed by Len Guinto) on Vimeo.
Three Wheels Are Better Than Two
Just prior to the start of the Women’s All-Star Game, the (potentially) First Annual BTSH Tricycle Race commenced, as all five entrants chugged a beer to determine which trike each one would ride. Once each participant had his vehicle, the three-beer, three-lap race officially started when the five competitors, as well as self-appointed race official Bryan “Stork” Welch, drank their second beer. Dan Owens (Filthy Gorgeous) was declared the winner in a photo finish, after he stormed past runner-up James Townsend-Butterworth (Sky Fighters), who dogged it to the finish line, believing his victory was already secure. However, James’s efforts should still be commended as his front wheel broke off early in the race, thus requiring the assistance of teammate Chris Shumaker. Although Alex “Coop” Eben Meyer (Bad Touch) finished third, he was soundly booed for his blatant cheating. Erik Price (Mexican Standoff) finished in fourth place, despite jumping out to an early lead. Rob Gorden (Mighty Squirrels) struggled to down his first beer in one gulp and brought up the rear, even with Amy Kovner (Gouging Anklebiters) pushing him from behind. There will be an awards ceremony for the race at the Johnson’s this Sunday evening.
The only item missing from the race was a bullhorn for announcing purposes. Jefferson Hendricks had his sister bring one down from his parents’ house in Albany, but could not resist using his new toy on Saturday evening. It was confiscated by police at 3:00 AM, and he was issued a summons for using a sound production device without a permit.
