The lesson of tonight was a tried and true one: you win some, you lose some. IYWMB took down Jonny Cakes in three games, dominating the last one 7-0. But I think it took a lot out of us. Against Boccelism in the second match of our doubleheader, we played hard but they just had too much ammunition. It was a fun night, and we all played decently well. Adam was the MVP, with some crazy accurate shots and unwavering confidence. We tried some different combinations of players, kept things relaxed and loose, and didn't take ourselves too seriously (unlike certain opponents who take a half hour conference to figure out each shot).
We finished out the season 4-2, having lost only to the two finalists from last season's tournament. That's a solid improvement over last season's record. We should have a decent seeding in the tournament. Whatever happens there, we did ourselves proud in the regular season. And we still have the best team name and best t-shirts, regardless of whether some other lame-os win "best team name" this time again.

great job guys. i'm supporting you in my own se asia kind of way. on the plane to saigon from tokyo, there was a loop of videos on one of the channels including "some guys have all the luck." go rod!
see you for the playoffs!
Captain Boccelism is the Chuck Knoblauch of bocce. He takes a million years to get ready for each shot! He did display good sportsmanship though and made a point of telling us when we made especially nice shots.
All in all, is was a great season and I am proud to be associated with such a fine crew of Rod lovers.
They totally wore us out by taking 20 minutes to prep and adjust before each shot. We definitely did not roll out best in the second game, but I'm glad we were able to overcome losing the second match in game one and seal the deal.
I totally sucked last night, sorry I couldn't step up. Thank goodness I'm on a great team to cover for my lameness. Maybe I need a 30-90 sec warm up for each shot to improve my game.
i would totally watch that movie.
RTB, you did not suck. we all missed shots, we all made shots. we die as one rod, we live as one rod!!!
rtb and i totally gave them four points one round, i think that this is reason enough to hang our heads in shame. luckily, we have teammates who just love to play, and will support us even in failure. i actually think that the extended warm up routine of our rivals was an elaboroate form of hypnosis. also, i want to point out that our first game lasted almost an hour and a half. so, i take pride in the fact that we lasted as long as we did. to end this rather extended rant, i am going to now admit to all of my teammates - and possibly the world, that i am actually very competive by nature, something i keep in check by not usually participating in competive sports, and now i have a huge chip on my shoulder, so boccelism better watch out next time we play -i also hold grudges.
