<\/a>Creamy cant let Gut Rot enjoy their moment, by topping them and going to La Famiglia.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0Game Of The Week<\/strong>: Gut Rot at Rehabs<\/p>\n Keys For Gut Rot<\/b> Gut Rot’s attempt to kidnap Georgine from the Butchers failed, so they had to settle for Eric and Ashley.<\/p><\/div>Keys For The Rehabs<\/b> Also not showing up for the Rehabs.<\/p><\/div>Prediction: Denim Demons at Fresh Kills<\/strong> Dark Rainbows at Filthy Gorgeous<\/strong>
Staying focused.\u00a0 Gut Rot finally executed their long-simmering and carefully put together master plan of revenge for the Butchers taking half of their squad before the 2010 season.\u00a0 Who knew that Tommy and Ellery hold grudges for this long?\u00a0 The additions of goalie Eric Ramirez and defender Ashley McMasters make Gut Rot a better squad, and they should be able to finally finish with a winning record and challenge for the Greene Division title, which is better than their typical goal of not finishing in 20th place.\u00a0 They can’t accomplish all of that on Sunday, but a win would get them started on the right track.\u00a0 Of course, this game is at 5:30, which means plenty of afternoon time to hang out at a bar and get distracted.<\/p>\n<\/a>
Familiarity.\u00a0 The Rehabs have been trying to harken back to some of their better days by bringing former players back into the fold, such as last year’s return of Hector “$h0wT!m3” Melendez and Sean “$h0wJu” McClain.\u00a0 This year, they’ve turned back the clock again, as former captain Meredith Danberg-Ficarelli returns after spending a couple of seasons abroad.\u00a0 Who’s next?\u00a0 Will Stacy S. Kehoe make an unexpected return?\u00a0 No, she will not.\u00a0 What about Adam Skuse?\u00a0 Nope.\u00a0 But with Meredith back in the fold, the Rehabs can once again run their hallmark formation that made them so dangerous in years past: Three males at forward, two women on defense.<\/p>\n<\/a>
<\/strong>Has Gut Rot ever been featured in a Game of the Week?\u00a0 I’m a little skeptical as to whether they can handle the bright lights and prime exposure.\u00a0 The Rehabs are a veteran-laden team and thrive when overlooked.\u00a0 Rehabs take it, 3-1.
Rich’s Pick:<\/em> Rehabs reminds Gut Rot they ain’t good enough for Glanzer Division status quite yet…4-2 win.
Derek’s Pick:<\/em> Gut Rot 3, Rehabs 2 (OT)<\/p>\nOther Games<\/h4>\n
Fresh Kills captain Dave Sokolyansky missed the playoffs last season with a lower body injury, and had Opening Day circled on his calendar all winter.\u00a0 His enthusiasm dampened a bit, though, when he found out his team would face the Demons, the league’s equivalent to visiting the dentist, to start the season. But cheer up, Dave!\u00a0 Your team will win, 3-2.
Derek’s Pick:<\/em> Fresh Kills 4, Denim Demons 2.\u00a0 Bonus prediction: Dave Soko stays healthy the whole season thanks to his new obsession with DDP Yoga.
Rich’s Pick:<\/em> Undefeated season ends early for Fresh Kills. Another Glanzer Upset Special…2-1 Demons!<\/p>\n
Abby Meisterman is injured and will not be playing for the Dark Rainbows on Sunday.\u00a0 Not cool, Abby, not cool.\u00a0 If Filthy is going to bring a full roster for any week of the season, it would have to be the opening week, right?\u00a0 Maybe Matt Novick will show up.\u00a0 Or Sunny Mehra.\u00a0 Remember him?\u00a0 He’s a former BTSH All-Star!\u00a0 I don’t see a great turnout though, and the Rainbows take it in OT, 4-3.<\/p>\n
