Another frustrating night for Roll'em If You Got'em. In the first game we shut up trash talking Officer Tackleberry and his Late Bloomers team by a 9-1 score. The game was never really in doubt from the start in spite of Officer Tackleberrys attempt at claiming every point for his team.
In the second game we never got going and Roll'em went down in flames on the short end of a 9-3 score to the Holy Ballz Batman team. I've got to give them a lot of credit as they continually put us on the defensive with a very good first ball or would make a great last ball to claim a point (or points). Overall Roll'em was never on our game and are off to a very slow start.

The Roll'em Adventure Team staged an impromptu adventure Saturday minus members Thurston and Gilligan. We met up at Fat Bottom Betty's for some food and of course beer. At this point we decide to jump in the new Clutchmobile and go to Walkers Bluff which I'd never been to. An awesome place and some really good sangria but expensive which didn't keep us from having a couple of them. We then proceeded to Mount Allegro winery. The Professor and Lovey were skeptical upon arrival but seemed to really enjoy it. We tried their sampler tasting and then a bottle of their Rose'. We then went for a little ride which ended up at Giant City Lodge for a quick beer and then back to pick up our Durango. The Clutchmobile would be much better if it was yellow and apparently the ride in the back seats is very rough and can cause cans to jump right out of your hand. All this caused discussion about our next adventure. Lesson learned: wine bad! The much anticipated start to the spring season came with a lackluster outing by the Roll'em team. We managed a split, winning against the Mission: Imbocceball and then losing to 2 Boobs and 2 Girls. The long wait while 2 Boobs and Squatchy played a marathon game probably didn't have a positive impact on our throwing the second game. One positive aspect on the night is that The Glue managed to stay upright. Line of the night came from Big Ed who told The Glue that he "was her height when he was in first grade".
The Grumpy Shillelaghs kicked of the 2016 season in the Wounded Warrior tournament. While we successful won our pool this was tainted :-) by a loss to the Whops and their loud mouth captain.
Alas our championship hopes were dashed by the ancient players from the Eclectics in a close, hard fought game. Crabby's (aka The Glue) Irish Stew and Grouchy's (aka Clutch) toxic green punch were big hits and probably left several people with big heads and grumbly bellys ;-). Great time overall especially with our BBQ! buddies M&M (aka Big O Dang O). Overall it wasn't our best effort on the court but now let the season start however that didn't stop us from celebrating the start of the season with beer and food at Midland Inn. |
