Summer '08: Week One Results

Games of Friday, June 20, 2008 Rock Sorters JoSox 19 Bezzig & Lezzig* 5 Bezzig & Lezzing are still, um, cohering, so the Rock Sorters (Note: Temporary name) feel fortunate to come out with a win. Ziggy & Schwa agree that B & L's best days are ahead of them. Sorters' Kevin woke up before 10 AM in Michigan to find out the result. See, to be a Rock Sorter, you have to be dedicated...to sorting rocks. Trojans 12 Nomads 11 The Trojans continue their dominance over the Nomads, making it two straight over the No-Shuks, going back to last season's playoffs. The Nomads stuck an "IV" at the end of their name, because, well, they are a dynasty. But after this game, they just needed an IV to replenish all those lost fluids. The Trojans appear to have climbed to the elite level of ASL's teams. Slackers 20 Trojans 12 The Slackers didn't yell. Were they missing a player? Seriously, is Wally Abu Hassan even in the country? Is Rocky Abushaar in some Zen meditation program? The Trojans chipped away at the Slackers' first-inning, 10-run barrage, but the Mighty Orange held the Prophos off for the win. The Slackers offense is as potent as ever, and their defense is getting solid. *** It's early, but you cannot keep the cats quiet. Here are Ziggy & Schwa's thoughts on who has a chance at winning it all this season: Slackers: 2-1 Trojans: 3-1 Rock Sorters JoSox: 7-2 Nomads: 8-1 Bezzig & Lezzig: 9-1 *Bezzig means "spit" (verb) & Lezzig means "stick (as in to paste)" (verb). This is basically the Arabic phrase for "jury-rig."
