QFBA Rag – 2007-8 Week Six

I’m a Gal watcher, I’m a Gal watcher. Watchin’ Gals go by, my, my, my...

Unbefreakin’-leavable! That’s all I can say about this one. Coach Tobias doesn’t know Duncan is hurt and doesn’t bother to put a live body in his Center spot. Kinda hard to imagine a Texan missed that one but now the stage is set for the ‘Gals to grab their first ever Dubya until Wilcox drags in with 8 fantasy points.

Okay, all is not lost; Marbury will play after his dad’s funeral, only needing seven for the win. Friday rolls around, Marbury is back and repays his coaches understanding during his time of need by creeping in with five. Five! Can you believe it?! Five Freakin’ Fantasy Points!! Disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful.

It doesn’t sound at all right to call a 3-3 team lucky but the Incubus Farm Team is freakin’ lucky to be .500 at this point, thanks to the SeaGals amazing ability to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

It’s going to be a while before the winless ‘Gals get another chance to win, what with the streaking Parrotheads up next. Maybe Week Eight when they draw the mismanaged Dubers.


Speaking of Snatchin’ Defeat...

It was going to take a Herculean effort for the ‘Bugz to get past the ‘Bus this week considering the Stinky One finally replaced the Cap’n with the weekly high score at 203. It was a wasted effort on the ‘Bus’ part considering half the league would have beaten the Jitters this week.

The surging Inkers were let by Howard, who has been absolutely phenomenal this year, while Minor league call up McGrady played wingman. Incubus also got nice performances from former free agents Tinsley and Jackson.

The loss was a team effort for the Jitters with Ming’s 43 pretty much the only bright spot. A little better effort in Week seven might get the Jitz a Dubya against the didi’s and it should be easy picking for ‘Bus against their depleted farm team.


Snatching Defeat Part Trey

I know, I know, it’s a little harsh to call a team that puts up 190 points mismanaged but considering that Duncan is out (is the Cap’n the only one on the planet that knew that going into Week Six?) and Ginobili is assuming the leadership and scoring role for the Spurs in his absence, Coach Hayduke should have made sure Ginobili was in his lineup. I’ll cut the coach a little slack since, being only Guard eligible, inserting Ginobili would have required benching Paul or Williams. Still, Ginobili for Paul would have netted the ‘Runners a whopping 213 points this week. Advice for next year Coach Hayduke: flexibility.

As hard as it is to swallow losing with 190 points on the board, knowing he could have posted another 23 points and grabbed a badly needed win from the Cruisers must really be salt in Hayduke’s wounds.

FJ’s have to thank their lucky stars for Iverson’s 62 offsetting Stoudemire’s 61 to keep them alive for the Dubya in this one. They really needed this win to stay in the hunt. Now they just need to hope the Dubers continue to make personnel errors next week.


Snatching... Part IV

It wasn’t Cap’n Parrotdead’s best week and he’s grateful for the Dubers dubious decision dropping. Aside from Boozer’s usual monster game, no one was particularly impressive for the Cap, though he was happy to see Gasol beginning to post the kind of numbers he should.

It’s kinda hard to understand what Rookie Coach J-Dub was thinking with Barbosa in the game while Butler sits on the bench. Slide Iguodala into Barbosa’s Guard slot and Butler in at Forward and Dub’s get the cross-office rivalry week win.

Dubers could have put up even more points with Chandler for Biedrins at Center but I can’t blame him too much for that one as it’s pretty tough to tell from game to game which of these two inconsistent Centers are going to have the better week. With Chandler developing into a rebounding madman though, I think I’d give him the nod until proven otherwise. Whatever, Cap wins. Cap likes to win.

PS. Roman Numerals just for the Chief.


Injun Squaw Dodges didi

Frankly, Rednecks VS didi was dodo doodoo. For all her chest thumping and bleat-bleat-bleating and mega-gay yoo-hooing, the squaw was damn lucky to squeak by this week. How often is Allen going to come in with 15 or Camby with 22 and both in the same week no less? A whole lot less often then Okafor comes in at 16, that’s for sure.

I’m not sure why Okafor has become so inconsistent this year but this reporter has to think it has something to do with his dissatisfaction at playing for the Squaw. Whatever, the truth is that neither of these teams deserved to win this week.

Say, wasn’t there an Indian Chief in the Village People? That would go along way toward explaining the Squaw’s obviously homosexual attraction to the Cap’n. One more time Chief: Homey don’t swing dat way.
