Soggy,
overgrown, and cold was the early mindset at opening
night on the
grass. It all burned off quickly as the night turned into
a scorcher, with the usual suspects doing most of the
flame-throwing.
Three courts sizzled with anybody's game, as DaveButler proved
dominant with 16 points after the long ride from the
long winter in Alden. KentLorence, as controversial
as
ever,
managed
to
squeak out a mere 13 points, whilst keeping the mantra
alive, "HitKentSendKent" with some unnamed players. BobGannon missed
a game and still hit it hard with 11. BillRupp and NelsonMntgmry are
just fun to be around with 11 and 10 respectively. Who
is this Stifter? Must be that BlondSurferDude.
He gets a bullet next to his name for 9 in the opener.
Wankers: RobinMitchell for
hanging around a little too long at the gates of victory
coming away without one skinny point
that game. CarlJosephAmorosi for burning so hard
his edges corroded. BillyCleary for the poorest
showing from someone who plays WayTooMuch croquet.
Walkers: ________ and
the rest of you who don't set-up or clean-up. Please
make a point of doing one or the other in some small
way. You really suck if you don't. Mike Doran for
leaving in the middle of the game cuz his new wife wouldn't
believe he would be playing croquet until midnight.
Winners: MikeDoran for
coming out so strong in the beginning. Bill
Rupp for
playing hands-off on rules exceptions and that BuffaloPepsiTrademark-infringing
sweatshirt. Rob Price cuz
i'm writing this and I know all you guys by your first
names.
Wenches: JaneJacobson for
taking a real interest and not being bothered by the
coarse language and constant cajoling. We may have our
first croquetBabe.
OGorman Billoni RobG and Sullivan all held back
to create a false sense of security for the night's leaders. Townsell
Lega and Mergler when
you get more points, we'll publish your first names. DaveWhite???
TskTsk one lousy stinking point??!!!
LauritzPaulsen was missed. Visit him if you
get a chance at ecmc.
