Battered & Bruised

So 3-0 last Wednesday with picks, but 1-3 on Sunday giving me an overall 4-3. Although its better than .500, I still have some work to do.

Alien Joe Vs Bearing Group

Alien Joe is looking to take their winning streak to 7 games. After destroying Alien Mike last week to take sole possession of 2nd place, The Joe's are ready for another win prior to the holiday break. All their players need the break as their roster is full of injuries.

Bafia - Broken toe & severe weight loss

Lowell - Strained left knee & lost use of left arm

Bishop - 4 broken ribs, 3 missing teeth, 2 ear infections & a partridge in a pear tree

Van Patten / Close - Broken Butt bones from constantly losing balance skating backwards

Topliff - Strained voice box from excessive screaming & migraine from calculating his own stats

Ford - Blown out hamstrings

Brand - Finger tendinitis, and severe kidney stones

Fascian - Broken wrist & bowlers elbow

Bartak - Bad shoulder, bad trigger finger, and dislocated eyeball

LeFleur - Torn intestines, pink eye & severed tongue

Barker - Freezitis (unable to freeze the puck and always plays it)

McElyea - Heat exhaustion, dehydration & hernia

All need a rest to recover and begin 2nd half of season. Bearings on the other hand is healthy as a horse. We are looking at testing their team for illegal use of steroids. "We use HGH, and that's not banned in C League" argued VerMulm. Mersberger, Danielson & the Brott Brothers all agreed. "We get together at Rocky's house and have a big HGH party. " stated Danielson. "Until they say I can't use it, I'm going to keep on doing it" proclaimed Hoekstra. "Without it, I would have never gotten that 1 assist." Since no ruling on this has happened, I choose the "wired" Bearings group by 2 in this one.

Plaza Vs Irwins

Plaza comes in losing their last 3 of 4 games. "I'm sick & tired of these losses" said Hale. "I should be getting more ice time to make a bigger difference." Mulford & Wermers spent all week watching film. "Woody Woodpecker is my favorite" announce Mulford. "I'm more of a Tom & Jerry fan " declared Wermers. Irwins, on the other hand poses a great question. What do you get when you combine Dahl, Dean, West, Anthan & Feathers? Answer: Nothing really. With too many superstars, and no role players. Captain Goodman wanted to point out the team's focus. "I keep saying there is no 'I' in team, but there are 2 'I's in Irwins and I'm still waiting for those 2 players to show up and take over." Irwins bound for the loss column again. Plaza by 9.

Legends Vs. Alien Mike

The slaughter last Wednesday against Alien Joe has Mike's group mad. Rumors has it that Perry & M. Kielty couldn't sleep all last week and needed nite-lites for comfort. Koenig gave himself a tattoo across his left chest that said "I Lost to Alien Joe...So What!" Brown & Wheeler both agreed as to why the lost occurred. "The score is tied and there are 30 seconds left with Shane in net...did you expect any different?" questioned the duo. Legends has won 3 of their last 4. Hoeppner & Jordan commented to the media this week, "Alien Who? Mike...is that his name? All speed & no finish for that kid..no worries." Legends captain Wente wanted to keep his team focused and not start a trash talking war. "I give Alien Mike all the respect in the world." said Wente. "For a bunch of degenerates who should be playing hopscotch & drinking Hi-C from a sippy cup, they're not half bad." Legends by 6.
