Mayors vs. Power Sleds Wizard's Winner...the Power Sleds
Fighting Slovaks vs. Wizards It’s official that the wings have completely come off of the “Magical Mystery Ship” as the Wizards have crashed and burned in spectacular fashion over the last month, and the damage may not be over yet as the injury-riddled “Wand Whippers” host the “Green Card Ol’ Country Critters” this weekend at Merlin’s lair. Not withstanding any defensive heroics, it is unlikely the Wizards will get up before the count of ten after suffering another knockdown last weekend by the lowly Sloth Monsters. The only real concern here for the Fighting Slovaks is forgetting to pull the fork out of the Wizards as they turn on the spit before feasting on the home team, because the Wiz is done. Wizard’s Winner…the Fighting Slovaks.
Grenades vs. Cheetahs After coasting for much of the season by going yard early and often the first half of the season, Chris Hand and the “Banana Eaters” found themselves in the loser’s bracket with their backs against the wall and their red, polyester coaching shorts pulled up tighter than a tick as the “Fairfield Electric Company” brought their “Friday night league” game to town and played lights out in the Gray Beard Division leaving the Grenades up to their armpits in furballs. Although the “Nashville Nads” pumped themselves a little more last week in the weight room and put up a valiant effort to erase part of the deficit, it may not be enough to get back in the hunt. Another rival is on tap Sunday when the Grenades come back home to face the “Finicky Felines” down at the Cathouse giving Chris another chance to load the bases and run up the phone bills by dialing “8” a few times. It’s also a chance to prove the Hands can’t be run out of town by a few losses…wait a minute, with Bullet banished to Montgomery, Jaimie exiled to Fultondale, and Chris hiding out in Nashville, that’s exactly what has happened… Wizard’s Winner…the Cheetahs.
Woosiers vs. Bootleggers The “Pulaski Whiskey Pumpers” will have their stills running at full tilt to make sure the local rabble is well lubricated for this weekend’s showdown with the “Woe-is-me-siers” who are a scant one loss away from winning the battle but losing the war after another defeat last weekend, and there’s little doubt that Thunder Valley will have more than a splash of “Rocky Top White Lightning” circulating in the crowd in hopes of sending the visitors to a watery grave at the bottom of the Tennessee River by days end. Injuries have dealt a crippling blow to the “DooDoosiers” although the return of Chad Pennington has helped right a sinking ship if only momentarily. However, without the “High Priest” on deck, it’s a safe bet the rats and the Woosiers BDFL title hopes will scurry overboard as the last rites are read. Wizard’s Winner…the Bootleggers.
Juggernauts vs. Dogs A dazzling performance last Sunday by Mark Burr and the “Brookside Tirebeaters” have the Dogs on the cusp of a division title while Allyson Edwards should be down at the courthouse filing papers to sue herself after a miserable season got even worse with another shellacking last week. Unfortunately, for Allyson things won’t get any easier when her “Ambulance Chasin’ Chumps” get to Five Mile Crick Ballpark where the “irresistible force” will greet the “removable object”. The Great Wizardo likes to gamble on big lines, but sees the Dogs as a bargain in this one no matter the cost. Wizard’s Winner…the Dogs.
Wooden Warriors vs. Sloth Monsters The “Apache Pine Knots” have proved very tough in addition to being lucky this season as evidenced by an overtime thriller against the Slovensky clan down at the Knights of Columbus clubhouse last Sunday evening, and the Wizardo always says he would rather be lucky than good. A Green Horn Division championship for Jaimie seems to be safe with the regular season heading into the home stretch and the Woodskins may try to rest some of their starters prior to going to the BDFL “Big Dance” in two weeks. However, Mike Dismukes and the “Spooks ‘n Kooks” would like nothing better than to send the “Cinderella Seminoles” to the ball less at least one glass slipper. The Sloth Monsters are getting healthy, and dangerous, and a big day from Brooks and James could cause the midnight witching hour to come a little quicker than normal for the Warriors.Wizard’s Winner…the Sloth Monsters.
Blades vs. Wildcats A pedestrian “21” might good at the black jack tables, but it spells trouble in the Yellow Hammer Division, especially when your chief rival posts a 65 spot as the Dogs did last week. With only two weeks to punch his ticket, Lyle needs to come roaring out of the gates if the “Super Sabers” want to slice into the Dogs’ lead to any great degree. Fortunately for Lyle, the “ChildCats” will be the main course at Sunday dinner, and should provide a chance for the Blades to make up some ground. The Wildcats could be a “trap” game for the Blades, but a strong showing from Culpepper and McGahee should carry the day. Wizard’s Winner…the Blades.
Gamblers vs. Bullets Kenny Breal and the “Bayou Buccaneers” sail up the Alabama River and into Trey Pettimore Stadium on Sunday to battle Bullet and the “Saturday Night Specials”. Although from the Wizard’s point of view, there ain’t nothin’ special about the “Benton Boneheads” this season. The Bullets have struggled all year long and had better have something more down their cold, blue barrels than the usual fare if they want to end the season on a high note. Meanwhile, for most of the season the Gamblers have appeared more like a pirate born 200 years too late with no cannon thunder and nothing to plunder to add insult to injury. Nevertheless, a few broadsides from Kenny ought to send the local yokels running for the hills in short order. Wizard’s Winner…the Gamblers. |
