Corinaldi at an all-time high, management had no choice other than shipping him to its farm team in California.\u00a0 Needless to say, Corinaldi was not amused\u00a0with this demotion.\u00a0\u00a0Sadly, the team&#8217;s other former co-captain\u00a0and goalie\u00a0Sarah Coombs will sit out for a majority of the season with a bun in the oven.\u00a0 To replace her, the Mathematics signed local product Joe Boshko, who impressed management on a scouting trip to Roosevelt Island.\u00a0 Captain Derek Tagliarino also claims to have &#8220;bought&#8221; star prospect Jim Nolan, who brings legions of followers from the New England area, and whose notorious shimmy drives the ladies wild.<\/p>\n<p>Whether these moves can pull the Mathematics out of the red remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Food They Closely Resemble:<\/strong> <em>Organic Produce<\/em>.\u00a0 Certainly, there isn&#8217;t a lot that&#8217;s actually bad here, and there are\u00a0probably even a few benefits to having them around.\u00a0\u00a0 However, at a certain point, you have to believe the media has taken the hype a little too far, and nothing could possibly be as good as they&#8217;re making it seem&#8230;or can it?<br \/>\n<strong>Fast Fact:<\/strong> Adam Langer was raised by wild wolves until the age of eight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ROSTER<\/strong><br \/>\nAmy Anderla<br \/>\nJoe Boshko<br \/>\n&#8220;Lord&#8221;
