Cubby's Week 10 Outlook
Hustlers and LuckyPool. This is just obvious, while LKP did get a 5-2 win last week, they beat break and run, not exactly the big momentum boost they may have wanted. Hustlers are gonna jump out to another half-game lead, and remember if it stays a 4-way tie it comes down to games record, so they can't just slack off if they pick up 4. They'll pick up 5, for the dumb that means they win 5-2.
HappyPool and CueKeepers and for the record, it was 2-3 CKP players being ignorant not the whole team, and 1 or 2 of them well...they may not see another match. The match is now a 7PM match, where it was 9, which still means Midnight for a lot of the players, but a lot better than 9 eastern...if HP can drag the games out they have a huge chance here, but being that it's not exactly their style, CKP wins 5-2.
NewCastle and Breakers Alley the match really doesn't matter at all, neither team can possibly reach the playoffs, now it's all about fun. NewCastle has the better players, like romper, who is pretty much the Randy Johnson of an Arizona Diamondbacks-like team. He does his job, they...don't. They'll get it done here, on an all 5-2 night.
PoolFiction and MadSkillz...beginning to like this 5-2 business. Maybe 4-3, but PoolFiction simply has a better team whether anyone would like to admit it or not. MadSkillz have the single toughest schedule over these final 4 weeks, SuperbPool COULD potentially tie them for the #4 spot in the WildCard by the end of this season because PoolFiction's gonna win either 4-3 or 5-2.
XPool and BlackSilver, XP matches are tough to call because right when you think they're gonna be god awful they come up and find a way to win. Like they did against the Smoking Cues. Now while I really want to go with XPool to win this match, BlackSilver still has something to fight for, and the poolMasters have a hell of a match. BS can possibly make it, and I think they will win this match 4-3.
SuperbPool and EZ8, EZ8 wants to keep their Atlantic lead, SP wants to try and tie MadSkillz, again later on. Haha, these matches are so fun especially this late in the season. SuperbPool knows they HAVE to be on their A+ game for this match, and that means Lady Acid may take the non-playing captain role. In these types of matches you have to go with who has actually been producing wins, EZ8 certainly has a nice team, but I think SuperbPool can pull off this upset and win 4-3.
PoolPimps and BritPool lead off Wednesday night. Ya know, BritPool ain't all that bad now are they? But then you have the Pimps against them, and they won't have paris back, in fact he's...with SuperbPool after earlier telling them never to ask him to play again. Oh well stuck now, BritPool's not gonna be able to pull this off, when you come so close against a team like PF, just because of their reputation as a powerhouse, however true or false it may be, it practically kills ya. Pimps should take advantage of this, again dragging out some of the games, and win 5-2.
PoolFighters and StraightShots perhaps you can call this match of the week, but PF isn't gonna get anything more than 4 from SS, hey they may even only get 3. PF has been a little bit like the Outlaws this season, except they've A: Lost some, and B: Haven't accused the 2 teams that beat them of AA. That and of course they're in different conferences. I want PF to lose because I really wanna clinch this division with PFN ;) but also because I'm picking them to lose to a much sharper SS team. They've picked up a few extra players who can be a huge asset to the team, JJ and Luis you've gotta believe it'll come up in this match. That in fact could be the deciding match, SS to win it 4-3.
Another chance for the Outlaws to clinch the Mountain, ElitePool takes on the PoolMasters. Now, I really wanna see the Masters win that division, just a little personal humor. But again, EP is on a roll. The Masters have been a little iffy at times this season, much more than the Elites. Depending on the team PM brings out, this could be a really great match. However...congrats Outlaws on the division because EP is likely going to win 4-3.
Break and Run against the regs, not much you can say here I mean the regs are clearly the better team. While it may be a sweep, I think BNR can pull at least 1 or 2 from the regs, but again every win counts. Regs know that, you gotta keep up with whatever everyone else does. Regs will likely win 6-1.
Now, this is where BeerBallers are in the PERFECT spot. They know they're against a league with no chance of beating them. They're also part of this 4-way tie, and they know exactly what they have to do. They're I'm sure very conscious that EP gets a 7-0 forfeit later this season, and they're gonna do whatever they can do win all 7 games. Oh, and they'll do it too. BeerBallers broom the UnitedPool team 7-0.
