QFBA Rag – 2007-8 Week Eight

Yes, April, There is a Santa

And his name is Jolly Ol’ St. Rednick. Not that this will come as a surprise to anyone but Chief Flap-his-jaws stuck his foot in his mouth yet again. Referring to Week Eight competition Jolly ol’ St. Rednick said; “So Great!!!!!
Chief can't lose this week... Cap'n goes down... Chief WINS!!!! Bus goes down... Chief WINS!!!!. “
Actually, it goes like this” “Cap’n Wins... Chief loses!!! Incubus wins... Chief loses!!! FJCruisers Win... Chief loses!!!. In fact, the Chief tied the ‘Gals for the weekly low at 142 so he couldn’t have even beaten the Gals this week unless he did it in overtime. Those over-inflated egos will get you ever damn time...

Coach Heiniger Jr. nearly beat St. Rednick with only four players. When Thursday rolled around she needed but four points from Iverson for the Christmas Dubya. In typical Me-Myself-and-Iverson overachieving fashion, he responded with 62, leading the Cruisers to the second highest point total of the week.

Jitz’ Sprint Past Runners

I’m thinking that Coach Hayduke didn’t know that Jitterbugz is named after our dog Jitterbug, who has officially been crowned the fastest dog in North America by two different racing organizations. Had he know that, he may have realized he had no chance of “Running” past the Jitz. Still, the ‘Runners may be the best 2-6 team in league history.

I mean, they’ve had several weeks now when they had one of the highest point totals of the week, only to run into one of the few teams who did better. I mean Part Deux: ‘Runners average 159.4 points per week VS 151.4 for the didi’s who are 5-3! It hardly seems fair, does it folks?

Speaking of hardly seeming fair, what about the Jitz who are in 6th place with the 3rd highest average in the league? That’s why we play ‘em!

Heinigrrr!! Part Three

Rounding out the Heiniger Trifecta, Good Cap’n Parrotdead pulled in the high score of the week (yet again) and in so doing, vaulted to 1st place in the standings, downed the Evil Incubus, added $20 to his season winnings, and completed the Heiniger Hat-trick as the Heiniger’s finished 1-2-3 this week. Not a bad week’s work, even if I do say so myself. How’s that fer havin’ a set, ‘Bus?

In the “what a difference a week makes” category, I consulted the infamous hidden data sheet (now in festive red and green for the holidays) and discovered that Incubus’ 152 points matched his season low set last week in a winning effort. Gimpy McGrady limped with 11 for the ‘Bus and Tinsley showed why he was a free agent by posting 18. Coach “Trade-em” Moyle responded by promptly shopping both players around the league as trade bait. Hey, Coach ‘Bus, the term “bait” implies something desirable to entice the “victim”!

Gal Watch 2007 Continues

I had a feeling that this could be the week the ‘Gals get the big Holiday Win against Coach JW “I’m winning the real game” Meyer. I haven’t figured out if the Rookie Guber Coach has just given up on the season in trading his top two players away or if he really believes his spiel that he’s ahead in the Yahoo Standings (was, anyway) and “that’s the real game so what do I need these Guber for”? Or...???

Who knows, but LeBron told me yesterday, when he reported to his first Parrotdead practice, that he’s glad to finally be on a team with a Coach who know what he’s doing.

I digress, however, let’s not forget what matters here, which is getting the Comely Gals a win before the season expires. We only have 14 more weeks! Week Nine pits the Gals against the Cruiser and it’s not likely to happen this week against a Heinigrrr.

PS. Inside sources told me that the Gals have no intention of trading away their best players and are highly offended at the plethora of insulting offers they’ve received. My guess is that most of those emails came from cmoyle@aol.com. The league is investigating this outrageous spam problem.


Clutch Post’s Best Non-Heinigrrr Score of the Week

Too bad the Crutch didn’t play the Home Club this week when Duncan exploded for 57. It was just unfortunate for Clutching the Tittie that Gordon did even worse than McGrady, who he traded for Gordon, because Crutch had a shot at the weekly high score with a decent game from his Point Guard. It didn’t matter much though, since Clutch still clobbered didi dave 187-148.

I see the didi’s as a real oxymoron: They have the talent to be 5-3 but have not put up numbers deserving of their 5-3 record. Oh, it’s all so confusing. Give Coach Sisti credit though, I see that he continues to scour the free agent wires to improve his team. Lots of time left in the season and the didi’s are fortunate to be in the thick of the competition still so we’ll see how this story plays out. Hey, I hear the ‘Gals have some players available... DOH!!
