Week No. 13 - iTeam gets a worm

Woodstock Rocks 9
Bless U. iTeam 6

Rough night.

We took our first loss of the season tonight at the hands of Woodstock Rocks. After a dismal 1 to 5 beginning to the match we only lost 6-9. We won five of the last nine and outplayed them at the end. For example, Allen and Johnny held a doubles clinic, beating Woo handily. Unfortunately,  the hole we dug for ourselves was too deep and got muddy from our self-prostrating tears. Arno was undefeated but only played one game. I think I did a shitty job as captain. I didn't get my head on me until the second round, which was too late. There's just something about Woodstock that brings me down. Maybe it's the blaring music, maybe it's the vampire-like darkness, maybe it's the third pool light hanging as low as a third testicle. We always struggle there, and we did again. Greg, Me, Jun, Jeremy and Johnny all had a rough time in the first round. Yo Yang beat Woo in the first game of the second round and from then on we played better than they did. Too late.

On the other side Emily went 3 for 3, taking Greg down twice and beating Yo Yang and I in doubles with Willy the Magician (does anyone remember the playoff game with him blasting his last ball past my 8-ball that was totally blocking the pocket?). Willy is one accurate motherfucker and Emily is on a lucky (err, hot) streak! She is 6 for 6 with one special game.

Like I said, we always struggle against this team. They are our kryptonite. The good news is if we win the division we will play them at home where we most certainly have an advantage. Hey, at least we played a match this week. Not like last week with the Cacti.

The Bet:

Ralph 1780
Jeremy 1776 (very american number)
Johnny 1713

Next week is Loft Still at Bless U. Happy to be back to the warmth and light of home. It's going to be another rough night of pool but we're ready now. We get to see just how good they really are.
