Who will win in 2008?

I took the week off and never made my picks for last Sunday. I figured it would be too difficult to get them right as the holidays mess everyone up.

So to get 2008 off to a bang, here go the picks for Wednesday C League:

Alien Mike Vs. Bearings
Lynn Karrick & Gene Kelley of Alien Mike both got NHL 2008 for the XBOX 360. They have been practicing strategies on the game 24/7 and want to incorporate it into their real game. "On the game I do this cool 360 degree spin-o-rama move and shoot the puck from between my legs" bragged Karrick. "Now its time to show it for real." Bearings players on the other hand got nothing for Christmas. "Santa left us all a note that said we get nothing since we beat Alien Joe." cried VerMulm. "Even a piece of coal would have been nice" suggested the Brott Bros. With Christmas 2008 only 357 days away, the Bearings Group throws this game to show Santa that they want presents next year....Alien Mike by 3.

Irwins Vs. Legends
A New Years Resolution was made by all team members of Irwins. "Starting with this game of the new year, we will no longer talk about our goalie Brown behind his back anymore" declared Kavan & Dahl. "We thought making fun of him after every game was OK" said Clutts, "But its probably bad karma." Legends has a new motto for the new year. "Legends is great in 2008" yelled Anderson. "I'm going to celebrate every goal I score by diving on my belly and pretend to swim." stated Lenhard. Legends is looking to show no mercy this coming year and will run up the score every chance they get. Irwins captain Goodman had this to say, "The new movie should have been called 'I am Irwins' not the current title of 'I am Legend'." Well put Bill, but you still lose by 4.

Alien Joe Vs. Plaza
All the injuries for Alien Joe have healed except for Lowell's strained left knee & lost use of left arm. He is rehabbing in Florida (or at least that's what he has told his team) and will not be in the starting line up. This will put a serious crimp on the center position as both LeFleur & Ford are mediocre at best. "Ford couldn't win a face off against a 2nd grade violinist" declared teammate Fascian. Also, goalie Barker was off the last 2 weeks and will be coming in cold. Plaza having some police officers & firefighters on the team have done the opposite. With the annual Guns N Hoses game, they have been hold practices 3 times per week. "We're ready for anyone" guaranteed Patava. "We play with the same urgency as putting out a fire at kerosene plant."
Alien Joe does there best here to not let it be a blowout....Plaza by 3.

DON'T FORGET ABOUT CUPID CUP ON FEB 9th. Spots still remain, but are going fast.
