Three Stars: “How many teams can you play for?” Edition
By Rachel G.
Third Star: Tim Burke
Team: Butchers
Nearly Dead Tim Burke
I know we’ve given him an honorable mention before, but this kid played three games on Sunday…and I think the conditions were even worse than the last time we played. When he also played three games. I can’t list the names of all the teams he’s played for, I think it might be easier to find out who he hasn’t played for. I’m quite sure if he hasn’t played for Fuzz, or one of the seven other people who bother reading this blog, you’ll let us know. Again, I’m sorry Dave Liang.
Second Star: The return of Chris “Creamy” DiMotta
Teams: Gut Rot, Butchers, La Famiglia, Filthy, Gouging Anklebiters
Sure, ‘let’s stick with a white shirt, so you don’t have to commit and buy a jersey.’
League favorite, most lovable, most smileyasshole, Creamy, has returned after a multi-year hiatus to Atlanta. Who else can hold your stick down, smile at you while doing it, and somehow make you think it’s all ok? Many have tried, but few accomplish it. Welcome back. You’ve played for a quarter of the teams in this league and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
First Star: Cheeky (Sarah H’s sister, real name unknowable)
Teams: Mathematics, Instant Karma, Mega Touch, Gremlins
? ? ?
We are giving her this first star for that really lovely, lovely goal she scored in the Math game. Geez, that was pretty. But we can also give her a star for the two goals she scored for Mega Touch. Possibly for the goal she scored for Karma. Or was it Gremlins? Who can keep track. Cheeky, great game(s) on Sunday. Three regulation goals and a shoot out game winner by your sister? Well done…but can we get a roster check over here?
(Ed. Note: she is currently in negotiations to join Karma. But don’t worry, like Danielle, Ben and I will also loan her out for beers.)
Honorable Mentions:
Alexis N. of the Sky Fighters (by Mia)
For hopping the fence, kiddie pool side, to retrieve seven balls that had gone under the East Court fence. It was disgusting! All these flies flew up as she picked up the balls and tossed them over to Caroline W—something or somebody was definitely dead back there amongst our balls.
Liam M. of Cobra Kai
With the Riots down by 1 and knocking on CK’s door, Liam gained possession in the defensive end and quickly pushed the ball up to Will who then gave it back to him at the point and Liam fired in his third goal of the game. Giving his team a two goal cushion with less than half to play in the second half.
Mike T. of Sky Fighters
It’s hurts to write this. It really does. But Mike deserves a mention here for scoring 4 goals against one of the best goalies in the league. Karma had no answer (or defense) for his wicked-quick release.
