The Rehabs, just like the Mets, are fueled by naysayers.\u00a0 \u201cRehabs suck, Rehabs suck!\u201d\u00a0 And guess what\u2014they love it!\u00a0 Who do you know on the Habs?!\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Congrats<\/a>

Congrats new people. You earned it. I wish these two could join the fun. They earned it too.<\/p><\/div>\n


Yeah, that\u2019s right\u2014no one with a reasonable mind thought this team would go this far.\u00a0 And yet, they are killing teams in BTSH and have the opportunity to beat the #1 seed team, Filthier.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Well, right now, the Mets have lost Game 2 of the World Series\u2014everyone who is not in NYC already knew this was a long time coming, but DID\u00a0THEY KNOW<\/em> that there is a team in Tompkins Square Park that finds itself in the same situation, but that there is only one game, with close to a hundred fans, likely in costume, that is far more important than any World Series match?!\u00a0 No, they did not.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sam\u2019s Pick:<\/strong> As much as I have grown attached to the Rehabs over the past couple of weeks\u2014a team of scrappers\u2014it is tough for me to see Filthier falling prey to the boys in black.\u00a0 Filthier has guns\u2014hired guns (sorry Jenna!)\u2014so it\u2019s hard to imagine nonstop offense from the boys in black and pink.\u00a0 This raises the most important question of this matchup: who is the home team?\u00a0 Who is going to have to ditch their main jerseys because it is going to be so confusing to have two dark gray\/black teams on the court?\u00a0 Well, in the Rehabs defense and in a non-sequitur, their defense is stellar, so if they score a few early, it may be the downfall of Filthier. \u00a0Of course, if this happens, Filthier will be rebranded and repositioned after acquiring some Fresh Kills as \u201cFilthiest\u201d, as is tradition.<\/p>\n

Rich’s Pick:<\/strong> Getting to the BTSH finals, is usually wrought with either gigantic upsets (If you are a team like the Rehabs), or fantastic matchups (if you are a team like Filthier). But honestly, I’m not sure any two teams had an easier run to the finals. The Rehabs beat Karma (17th seed), Math (2nd Division, but no\u00a0James) and Sky (2nd Division). Meanwhile Filthier beat maybe the Riots or Rainbows, Gremmies and Anklebiters. In other words, neither team had to go through a top division team. Who the hell stole Soko, Eitel, Rubens and Karstan? But you play who you play and if you don’t like it you shoulda been there to beat them. (For the record I don’t like it. I was hoping to play the Dark Rainbows in the finals for not only the BTSH Championship, but also for the Fairy Tale Cup and Bernstein’s girlfriend). But I digress. Filthier was built not to play, but to win this game. They have two stacked lines, a great goalie and a competent but not great defense. The Rehabs have some dudes I don’t know, and a goalie I truly love. I’m a $h0wT!m3 Guy.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The only time I ever wore a non-Elves BTSH shirt. The only time I ever will. (Sorta)<\/p><\/div> If I was black, and he was white and he had cancer like Brian Piccolo did, I would make a movie and say, “I love Brian $h0wT!m3 Piccolo.” Oh why bother, none of you saw that movie besides maybe Coach, Craig, Dave de wishehwasasgoodasGIL Rubio, and of course Rob Walsh.<\/p>\n

\"Brian's<\/a>

Brian’s Song. One of the few movies men are legally allowed to cry.<\/p><\/div>Since 2007, the BTSH Gods have been very generous to the Cinderella teams. $h0wT!m3, get your championship. You deserve it brother. 3-2 in OT. Black Rob with the wrestling winner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
