Yep, that's right! Two things to waste time on, back to back. Deal with it, suckas! Tell 'em, internet:
Why another write up? Cuz this week is packed full of goodness. Let's take a look, shall we?
There are 6 teams with wither 7-6 records or 6-7 records. All of the 6-7 records are above 1,000 points and half of the 7-6ers are not. So, a few wins could really shake things up.
It's getting so intense that I hear that there are some subtle threats abounding. Just today Skoot told me that Ben was trying to bribe him to kneecap me. To that, I respond thusly: "Why, Ben? Are you that excited to get sodomized by a cripple??" (That was the PG version of my response. For the grown ups in the room, I wasn't sure whether I should have threatened to chili dog or Cleveland Steamer him. Just sayin'...)
So, is there a game of the week this week? So many choices!
Skoot vs Terri. The battle of the Titans! (but not the football team. This match up, unlike any of theirs this season is going to be interesting) With the right scoring, I could actually wind up in first place. Oh, and the projections put the final score within 2 points of each other. Of course, both of these teams are locked in the playoffs... so maybe this one isn't so interesting.
Phil versus Ben? Well, Phil's a lock in the playoffs, so Ben is just fighting to get into the playoffs. Now, this is an interesting game because this is projected to be within a point of each other. Plus, can Phil keep his massive winning streak alive into the playoffs?
On the far end of the scale, We've got Crutch (10th place) against RA Dave (11th place). Now, this normally wouldn't be too interesting of a game. But here's the thing, if Crutch can pull out a win, and McClennen or Mike G loses, then he'll sneak into the playoffs. But don't count RA Dave out yet. He very nearly knocked out the 2nd place team last week. So, he's got the very real possibility of freezing Crutch out of the play offs two years in a row.
Looking at the ladies, Melanie versus Missy, this is very much win or go home. The winner of this game will go into the playoffs and the loser will not. (OK, Missy might sneak in, should she lose, but what kind of drama is that?)
Mike G versus Kookie probably won't be all that exciting as Mike will most likely get his Kookie BYE this week. BUT, wouldn't it be great if Kookie woke up, pulled a team together and got his one and only win this year??? It would pretty much guarentee that Mike is kicked out of the play offs. I'm not saying anything, but if Melanie were to set your line up this week, I would look the other way, because that would be deviously delicious.
Finally is Patrick versus McClennen... This one is do or die for McClennen as well. Lose and it's almost certainly curtains for him. Win and Patrick gets bumped a few seed spots, but he gets to fight into the playoffs.
Really. there's not a lame game out there this week. (Assuming that Kookie can man up and put up a team this week..) So, stay tuned as I lose a third of my audience in next week's write up.
Phil, I am so moved (wipes tear from eye) that you think I would run Chris's team better than he has run it. I totally would, but it means a lot that you've recognized it. :-)
ReplyDeleteHeh, I read that initially as "ruin Chris's team". I thought, come on now. Kookie is the ruin master. :)
