Monday Picks and Tour 'Did You Know?'
Breakers Alley @ Break and Run Finally, each league doesn't have to play a big-name league. Both leagues though have handled themselves very nicely so far in the season, with a pair of 4-3 results, and 1-1 records apiece...and we all know the deal with bnr's 1 loss. For those who don't, ask around. Now, I know it kinda sucks to go against BA 3 times in a row when they actually have done good so far, but BNR's order of play is gonna be the key in this match. That and of course, if Revolves Ballroom lags like it has a lot lately, BNR's used to it, Breakers Alley...aren't. I think if it lags, BNR wins 6-1. If not, 4-3 or 5-2. Either way they win this match because redhot has got a really good order lined up. With Vince, one of their strongest shooters, playing first, it gives the middle of the lineup a lot more comfort, and confidence knowing they're not playing with the match on their shoulders. Assuming all that of course if he wins.
Absolute Finest @ BeerBallers Heh...This ould be good. AF 2-0, BBM 1-1. Now, in all fairness to bbm, their loss came after they had won, thanks to me. But really it would've been a different story in the bnr match as well, with Ivey ineligible in that match. Then there's AF who for all intents and purposes probably should've lost to BA, but the Breakers didn't have a player who understood the game at all or the situation, and that's their problem. Any other league, they're 1-1. So, the win against TourneyPool I think they really needed, to show that they deserve to be 2-0 and it was quite an impressive win. BeerBallers I get the feeling will struggle a bit in this match. Clogz will need to come up huge, Scott's gonna need to play and he probably has to captain the whole match. If I'm BBM I also want towelie to show up in this match. I can tell you from experience that when he's in a groove, he can be a game 6 or 7 player. BBM though like I said will struggle, and I think the Finest boys and girls take it 4-3.
BritPool @ DreamPool The match I'm supposedly gonna be banned from. Ha. Good luck. Anyways, despite my uh...let's say disagreements with BritPool, you can't ignore the fact that they're 1-1, and really fought hard in their loss to CueKeepers last week. I mean...there's a 7-way tie in the Atlantic for the lead...poor 8br... 6 of the 7 are 7/7, if this keeps up it could be a very tight race to the playoffs especially for that #4 spot. That's months away though so for now, let's look at this match. DreamPool has the better team I mean how can I ignore that fact? BritPool wins the battle of depth however and that's where DreamPool would have their problems possibly. If everybody on their normal team shows up to play and Pascal does his job as a captain this week, making sure they're all eligible, they'll win this match. I said off here it'd be 5-2, but I'm leaning closer now to 4-3. And in any match the last thing you wanna do is let a player get DQed, and give the other boys a freebie. Some of you saw what happened with Florida vs. South Carolina this weekend. I still can't decide on a score, I guess I'll say 5-2 either way DreamPool should win this, but with just 9 players, they need everyone on their team to show. Otherwise, they may get a matchup they don't exactly want, and BritPool could be waiting to pounce on the oppurtunity to punish them. Again I'll say 5-2 DP but they need their team there. Oh and I'll be there. :)
8allRunners @ Cuekeepers You know every season there's a team that loses every match until you pick them to lose. 8BR I believe is that team. 5/9, that's a 5-2 loss and the 4-3 where BritPool had them barbecued and devoured after 5 games. This is not what 8BR is capable of. They have players who can get wins and should be getting wins. Instead those players are getting knocked up, butchered, insert harsh word here. I'm gonna pick them to lose this match because CueKeepers I think are a fairly strong team this season, 4-3, but do not be surprised 1 bit if these guys finally wake up, get that pitchfork in the ass, and start running wild. No that's not a crack at runningwildhorse's name, before you ask.
Again my little BLT Did You Know which I posted in the shoutbox because that tour last night, though I was all for running it, obviously didn't go extremely well. Some people may ask for an asterisk by the points, but here it is anyways. Did You Know that PoolFighters are the only league to lead going into a week, and put up 0 points?*
Best of luck to everyone, and especially that aimer Brandi over in CKP cuz her trial ran out =P lol kidding :p take it easy folks :\
