Throwing. Catching. Running. Hammer-ing. Mis-hammer-ing. Swinging. Swatting. Cutting. Diving. Attending. Bleeding. Counting. Injuring the other team. Folks - we did it all last night, save for winning. I daresay if ever we were handed a game on a silver platter, the shorthanded orange folks did so last night (that is, handed us the game on a metaphorical silver platter)… before knocking it in the ground in a CACOPHONOUS RACKET OF SHAME AND DISAPPOINTMENT (metaphors!).
I maintain that victory will be ours soon enough, and we may not have to wait for another attendance-challenged team. We will will it so (we will). For the Bag of Hammers from last night were far from the Bag of Hammers from our first few games - we were patient when we needed to be, aggressive when we needed to be, we moved the disc better than any game yet. We just didn't score as much as we needed to win. Kudos to ALL.
Moving forward, I would like to propose a new offensive strategy/fail-safe. I call it The Gregor Offense. In this new offensive system, Gregor, the handler, never actually leaves the field. We also seemed to have more success with our ~horizontal stacking last night, which I may propose as an added component to The Gregor Offense, provided it can be successful against man coverage in future games. Otherwise, we can go back to our standard vertical stacking if need be. If all are cool with this, especially umm... Gregor, I say we give it a shot. As my daughter would say "SERIOUSLY".
The Lion's Head Glutenous Poutine Orgy Player of the Game: me, for completing the most awesome hammer in the history of HURL, with all apologies to Derek Land. Fuck all y'all! (smiley face emoticon) Runners-up include Sandy, Mike and Michelle for the majority of our points... and everybody else for everything they did that was good. Heh... SERIOUSLY.
Again, please let Becky know ASAP if you won't be able to attend next week as we may have to reschedule.
Huzzah!

I feel there are not enough comments on these blogs. I mean they are super funny and hella informative. This week I would like to point out that Gregor burnt his shorts on the exhaust of his bike on the way to the field AND tackled some poor girl in the end zone at one point. This is why he should consistently be on the field. Go Gregor offense.
Aaron your command of the english language is awe inspiring. It pales only in comparison to Gregor's command of those borrowed, uncharred, second hand shorts. Adjectives!
