Game Day [5&6] and Big Oil

Ohio River Blvd Field
12:30 & 3pm

Ducks at Warriors
Ducks vs. Warriors

Before we get to the upcoming Ducks Warriors contest, some thoughts on the current state of NABA affairs.
Joe, put Playmaker on the Oilers.


The Oilers have a witty, if not pretentious mysite news section which I find entertaining.
Big Oil has defeated the Bulldogs, no-hit the Warriors, and recently topped THE HURRICANES!!! 8-1.
Rumor has it there was a fight or something during or after the game.
I get my info from the Bulldogs blog.
Always solid.

these two are sandbagging

Interesting a team capable of such feats would beg to be in the 18A division.
Begged for it.
Big Oil manager Reggie was pleasent in our conversation to reschedule, and it is possible that they just added some guys after that decision was made, but my tinfoil hat tells me its a conspiracy.


A plot to gain a bye and better position themselves for an attempt to dominate an unsuspecting AA team in the end of year tourney. Plus they probably want the lame, smaller trophy awarded to the A champion.
Whatever.
It's fishy.
Speaking of fishy, the Warriors are one of the Ducks oldest rivals they're like the Black Sox, except they don't have any outstanding warrants and are allowed to leave the state without visiting a parole officer.

The Warriors always seem to be around the top of the other conference. And it's a shame we don't play them more often.
And by shame I mean, it's too bad Heckman is such a dick.
They are also the first team to get into a fight with THE HURRICANES!!!
Which lead to the first half of the Fightin' Rafalskis moniker.

segue to...

Pittsburghgh NABA History

The Warriors were once called the Piranhas. The battles waged between the teal wearing fish and the Ducks out in Ambridge were epic. (They wore Miami Dolphin teal - it was terrible)
On the way to Ambridge we would pass the Ohio River Blvd. Field and wish we could play there instead of the rock hard, gravel covered, Pony League sized band-box ten miles down the road in smack-infested nowhereville.

Now the Ohio River Blvd. Field is a pain in the ass - it's never mowed and the dugouts are too small, there is nowhere to warm up; there's an on-deck phone booth you have to try and swing in.
At least we're not playing in Ambridge.
I don't know anything about the Warriors current squad except they probably will find two more top-tier pitchers by the time the playoffs roll around and hopefully knock out the joke Big Oil.

Kelly Leak is 1-0


Bad News for the Warriors.
