From The Crystal Ball
By Spaceman Spiff Bullets vs. Mayors Alan Arrington’s “Rainbow Coalition” were mostly black and blue after the beating they took last weekend, but hope to rebound Sunday when they host the “Stars ‘n Bars” bunch from Lowndes County in a pivotal battle for two teams that are fast fading from division contention. The Bullets have been one of the BDFL’s favorite whippin’ boys so far this season, and the Wizard sees little chance that the Ol’ South will rise again in Week 6. When the dust settles at Fair Park, expect the Mayors to take the Bullets to the local “whippin’ post” and give the visitors a floggin’ they won’t soon forget. Wizard’s Winner…the Mayors.
Grenades vs. Bootleggers Chris Hand and the “Grain Sprangs Grenadiers” (the All Irish Deli Division, of course) were in full retreat this past weekend when the lowly Bullets hammered their “March to the Sea” back to reality. After a stinging defeat, the Grenades will regroup in Prattville and march north to the Tennessee foothills to see if the “Firewater ‘n Brimstone” hurlin’ Bootleggers are any more hospitable. Unfortunately for Chris, the Grenades will likely find the Bootleggers’ fortress bristling with Jon’s well liquored, coonskin-cap-wearin’ Bootleggers, and that the end result will more than likely resemble Waterloo for the Grenades with Chris in the title role of the “Little Emperor” himself. Wizard’s Winner…the Bootleggers.
Sloth Monsters vs. Juggernauts A season on the brink has left the “Jolly Green Giants” less than jolly as a recent stream of tirades directed towards the Commissioner indicated in a season filled with frustration so far. However, the oft-injured “Bra Burners” have had little to cheer about in recent weeks either as their once strong division title hopes have gone up in smoke faster than their delicates. Both teams have their fingers poised to push the panic button, and this weekend should see one of them move back from the brink while letting the other fall into the abyss. Nevertheless, the “Jolly Green Giants” are deep at running back and having lead dog Edgerrin James taking a bye week should not leave them in the corner of the West End High School locker room doing…whatever the h&!! it is you do in the corner of a West End High School locker room. Wizard’s Winner…the Sloth Monsters.
Wildcats vs. Wizards Merlin has been tossing thunderbolts at the rest of the BDFL so far this year with startling accuracy, but a bye week followed by a two game suspension by lead bolt-thrower Jamaal Lewis will make for rough finish to October and have the Wizards in need of some help from the schedule maker. And help they will get indeed from the “Cool Cats”, who have been anything but that so far this year, when Jerry James brings his motley crew to the “Lawn Tennis, Cricket & Croquet Club” for afternoon tea and crumpets. The Wildcats need to generate points more than victories right now to get back into the division title hunt, and will have every opportunity to do both on Sunday. ELVO likes the Wizards a lot in this one, but the Great Wizardo has other ideas. Wizard’s Winner…the Wildcats.
Wooden Warriors vs. Blades The sci-fi flying “Blade Runners” took out their silo sickles and slew the opposition last weekend, and plan to have it honed to a fine razor’s edge come Sunday when they hack into the “Black Crick Chop Shop” down on the turf farm. Meanwhile, the “Tomahawk Tribe” has struggled to cut hot butter in recent weeks after a white-hot start to the year. It is crucial for the Wooden Warriors to get their war dance back on the right path before too much longer if they plan on another run at the coveted BDFL crown, although the Greenhorn Division title is still very much within their grasp, so expect the war paint primpin’ to be a little more intense this week than normal down on the reservation. However, if Jaimie wants to hit the trail back home with a victory, it will take more than making sure his sweat bands, head bands, and stockings are in perfect alignment. Nevertheless, ELVO is discounting the Tribe too much based on their recent performances. Wizard’s Winner…the Wooden Warriors.
Gamblers vs. Cheetahs The red light district in Riverchase will be at maximum wattage this weekend when Kenny Breal and the “General Electric Light Orchestra” try to mount some jungle cats from the “best little whorehouse east of Texas” on their trophy wall. The Gamblers have had a tough time putting points on the board this season, and need a big day out of the Deuce if they plan to add the Cheetahs to their trophy case. Unfortunately for Kenny, although mounting and scoring on the Cheetahs at the local Cathouse is about as easy as waving a few dollar bills in the air, at the end of the day the visitors will end up getting screwed…but they won’t get kissed. Wizard’s Winner…the Cheetahs.
Dogs vs. Fighting Slovaks When they’re not spending the nest egg their ancestors stole from the Great Wizardo in the “Kick-off Cash” rip-off of yesteryear to bring relatives over from the old country, the “Fraudulent Slackers” have been navigating their way through the rough waters of the BDFL, and have found themselves run aground as often as not. Nevertheless, the Slovaks are holding their own relatively well so far. However, they will have to step things up a notch this weekend when they line up across from the “Coalburg Canines” on Sunday. Mark Burr’s Dogs have displayed a pedigree that hasn’t been seen in the last few years, and appear poised to contend heavily to end the season at the top of the BDFL heap. Don’t expect a trip across the big pond to the old country to be much more than diversion in the Dog’s quest. Wizard’s Winner…the Dogs.
PowerSleds vs. Woosiers There was no joy in Woosierville this past weekend as the schedule maker dealt the “Woosierville Eleven” a tough defeat despite a more than respectable score. Nevertheless, one strike-out is not enough to take the luster off a good season for the Woosiers although Jack Barnes’ “Midnight Train to Memphis” will be making a whistle-stop tour of Smoke Rise on Sunday afternoon in hopes of adding some more misery to the home team. Unfortunately for the Sleds, the train station doesn’t go through Blount County and it is highly unlikely Jack’s tender ham will be able to bounce back from his Friday night league miracles in time to carry his raggedy hobos far enough to pull out a victory. Wizard’s Winner…the Woosiers.
