Beer Beer Beer! Bed Bed Bed!

Hey all - solid effort by everyone last night, despite the loss. Bolstered by the return of former Hammer superstar Chantelle Rapchuck (aka, "Heather MacDonald" if anyone asks) - the BoH fought back from an early deficit and defiantly delayed halftime for a good 20 minutes while our jittery opponents smoked nervously on the sidelines.

As Derek proclaimed during our time-out cheer - we are indeed getting better by the minute. For perspective, recall that the last two times we faced Discs Of Fury, we were spanked 13-1 (unofficially) and 12-1 (officially). Zone defense seems to agree with us; players are makings cuts with more confidence; handlers and handling; the disc seems to be hitting the ground less and less each game; and I continue to enthusiastically high-five everything in sight. Ahh, yes... I would hereby like to apologize for any activity unbecoming in my over-stimulated and adrenalized state last night: bossiness, excessive mumbling, clipped conversations, bum slapping, crazy eyes, etc. I believe I "shushed" McKim at one point, and I may have french-kissed some muscley-faced guy dressed in red. Then I made inappropriate jokes about 9/11 and groped myself on the car ride home. *blush*

Moving on - specific highlights include Sarah's huge run and catch on the goal line, Cruddick's mocking of their disc-flipping "traveling midget", and a few more of Matthew's now-expected physics-defying catches, with an added give-and-go off of Michelle's upper torso (illegal, but creative nonetheless). And I'mma go ahead and award the Armview Cupcake Martini Player of The Game award to Captain Tim for a few long sprints, good D, and because he'll never give himself player of the game. Huzzah.

Until next week Hammers…
-AA

WHAT!! I thought we agreed this entry was going to be called Hummers from Beantown???

Also, I would like to put another shout out there for a return of the Chantelle, er I mean Heather. Last night she not only showed us how to cup but how to calmly and cooly tell a dude that you are not allowed to take 3 steps when catching the disc while standing. As yelled from the sidelines in support of Chantelle's travelling call - "you cannot create inertia."

Good times kids.
