Congratulations, Pandas! We almost showed up on time, except for Late and Later, the Tardy Twins, who also left early.
Attendees: Master Bruce (host), Mikey, Dub, Navy, Ronin Steve, Dan, Woodcock, Malachai, Attorney Scot, Taz, TJ, NY, Nick. Special guest appearances by Attorney Kent, Nick's friends, and Sanders.
3 days til 50. I want more life, f*ckers!
My day started pretty slow. 3 games scoring 6 points per game? This will not do. Struggling gets you sat. Then the team I was on scored even less. To quote the Simpsons, "Ha Ha!"
Props to Lil TJ for building a dynasty team. Might've been the only one on the day. Late season ball also makes for some good rallies, though games were a bit lopsided today in terms of scores. Scott had a very dominating day on the net, as did Mikey, and Jess, who also beat me out for point guarding skills pretty easily today. Special achievement award to Dub for overcoming the hangover to hang in there and achieve.
Thanks also for the professionalism and good sportsmanship to share the pool with Nick & Co. for what turned out to be a mighty Newb/vet battle. Notable Navy quote: "Chief has 2 speeds: Kill, and Suck." I tried my best to use both gears today!
Turnaround on my end was the Dub draft. That team went 15-2. Not bad for a draft team matchup.
The shadows and the day grew long. We were about ready to pack it in, when what to my wondering eyes did appear??? Sanders!!!
Most excellent. I am still molting from my chemical burns, and like the Mummy, I need fresh blood to regenerate.
I'm sure the late arrival thing is something they learned from LJ, the Emissary. He used to pull this all the time at Argosy. Never worked, though. Here's why:

It reminds me of a conversation I had with Wilbur one time out at the court: "Yikes, Will, look at em. They are young and tall."
Will: "Who cares, Chief! Let's get in there and beat them, like we always do." Great motivational speech:

In this case, it was the Fabulous Baker Boys (and girl), with special guest star Dub.
To be fair, they won the second game, until we extended it to 21, but that's what you get for showing up late in the day. They promised to be there earlier tomorrow. So 2pm again people.
While I of course welcome the promised new era of 1000 year dominance by our sand overlords,
