Wise coaching and talent scouting skills were shown on this day.
We decided to resort to the old schoolyard method of picking teams, with Fish having first pick and me second:
Fish: E-dub, Jess, Lloyd, Dwayne, Dale
Me: Ford, Jim Back, T2, Dick
That's 6 on 5 with the first pick to boot. Long odds indeed for the undersized and understaffed squad. But, as is frequently the case, speed beats power.
I barely had to do anything after picking the teams--the first three picks did all the work. The other squad's mojo was at half mast before the first 5 points had been scored in game 1. I think someone was doing this to them:

Long story short, I think the opposition scored 8 points in 2 games.
OK, let me emphasize that we should really, really try to start playing by 2-2:30 rather than 3:30-4:00 during this long weekend. In all likelihood, minus a couple of miracles, this is probably it for the year, pandas, so let's go out fighting strong on a good note.
