Monday Night
Breakers Alley @ Bearskin Eightballers - ..........There's your match pretty much. 7-0 Win for Bearskins, BA's stonecoldshooter did all he could as a last-second captain sub, could only gather up 4 players, they all lost, 0-7 for their 7th loss of the season...just hate to see a group of nice people like that struggle, but sometimes I guess it has to happen. Bearskins are now 2-3 and they do have 3 matches to make up...Don't set your playoff brackets yet, both of BE's wins have been 7-0. Whether it's by timer, or if it's against BNR and BA, they're at least doing something right. It's not all that realistic they get in but again, keep your eyes out for them.
8BallRunners @ HappyPool - Welp...man 8BallRunners is a mecca of pool when it comes to big names compared to HappyPool...8BR just gonna swamp HP. ...Haha, what interleague are you watching? HP's first 2 wins of the match result in the 10-day boxing of 8BR's runningwildhorse for tell HP to "get cam" after he got flat-out beat, and miz getting bounced from the 8BR team completely at the captain's request for this report comment: "i asked for camtasia... no comment" .....well...this should be fair game...YOU'RE STUPID. No comment. 8BR would proceed to get trounced 6-1, mspoolpro picking up the only dubbya for the Runners. HappyPool are now an even 4-4, and here's the most amazing stat of their season...THREE AND ZERO at home. There's some kind of magic in that place or something. Their room name is Don't Stop Me Now and so far nobody has there. 8BR...they're either really good or they just stink it up. Tonight, it was the latter. That kind of inconsistency is going to kill them in MLP, maybe with the gap miz's ejection leaves they can try and get one of their regulars in the league on that team, and when you let the regulars join...It really can change a team can it not Theike? 8BR 3-5, LPL and ElitePoolers play matches Tuesday, either of them win...8BR is completely out of 4th place in the Atlantic.
Absolute Finest @ ChampionsPool - AF struggled like crazy in their home room, they would play visitors to ChampionsPool tonight and they were the 6-1 team they came into this match as. The first couple games were a bit uneasing, but Austen (Tearz) especially recovered very well after some real dumb shots, and he survived his over-snooker problem to provide one of their wins in the 5-2 victory. Their Away streak still continues, 5-0, they're 7-1 overall, ChampionPoolers ibehappy and Dedrick unfortunately add their name onto that cold streak list, both with their 5th consecutive MLP loss, and worse...after CHP's 3-0 start (after having their loss against EZ8 wiped) they're 0-4...and they've still got 2 very difficult matches in the next two weeks. Fighters and Masters...Very unfortunate situation for this team, but they do have some real talent on that team. Mjaust is a prime example, and in the Tours they don't all fall out in round 1. They can win in the Tour, but the 7v7 just hasn't been there. They do have a game in hand, if BNR loses this week and if the BeerBallers were to lose...They're still tied for 4th....BNR hosts PoolMasters Thursday, it's possible.
BritPool @ PoolFiction - BritPool's the best 2-5 team in MLP coming into this match in my opinion. They're not a league that loses easily, they don't play utterly stupid, and a big plus in my book: They don't use people who play 1 game every 20 days. 8BR, MadSkillz, up 3-0 on what was a very good DreamPool team, and there weren't any captaining mistakes by Jan in that match. It came down to DP simply playing clutch. So...after a 5-game win over DP, won in 6 over MZ...Pattern? Maybe. One of the two matches I paid attention to because...they were the only good matches tonight. Mark ended his 2-week losing skid with a W in game 1, and then I seriously stole one against slavko in game 2, should've easily lost a few times. Mick actually played game 3 here, against oldlady_with_attitude...in a game that could only be described as a combination between a roller coaster ride, and a teeter-totter. Mick had it won, Jan had it won, both players played extremely well at the end of the game, recovered well before that, it was Mick who came away with the win. 3-0 PFN...A 6-1 in the making...Not so fast. Jammy failed to clinch it against river_blake, then Stud lost what is likely his last YPool game to dragnlord62, it's 3-2...Comebaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack...killed by Coma. He beat PrincessNeo for the 4th win, lordshaggy beat a rare sight at a 7v7, guerrero_de_dama, PoolFiction stills wins 4-3 but don't be fooled by BP's 2-6 record, they are a very good team, as much of a joke as it may sound. PoolFiction doesn't seem to be what they were early on these past couple weeks, they're still 8-0, but next week they face SuperbPool, they smoked CKP in 4 games, LPL's gonna be tougher, I think if you get a couple wins off SuperbPool in the first 4 games, they may find themselves in a hole even at 2-2. But hey, it's all situational when it comes to successful captaining, in most every case.
Pool Legends @ Beerball Masters - Well...we've seen a 7-0, a 6-1, a 5-2, a 6-game 4-3, CAN I GET A FREAKIN' 3-3?!?!?! Thank you! It was BBM's wheelzy who gave BBM the first game of the match over jmunoz, but Bam's a legend took care of that to tie it up against Evil_Walks. But game 3, zalkanda's 8ball shot hung like every pitch Dimitri Young swung at today (he hit 3 homahs for the Detroit Tigers, Marty's happy), and Angelmarie (CandyCane) was able to pick up a win, very poor use of the parenthesis I know. 2-1 Drunks. But fink...against polar_bear_cub...Only 1 cub is allowed to win per night, I already won, so fink enforced that rule very well. Legends tie it back up 2-2, but BBM still in control though they've made PL play keep-up all match. Based on previous games, BBM wins game 5? Heh, that's if drunkdendragon actually gets a shot. Poolstud1111, I bet you've never even HEARD of him, MVP of the night. There's no official nightly MVP award, but it's my post, so if I wanna make up an MVP award and you don't like it...Too bad ;) A very nice table run from break, it's 3-2 now all of a sudden BeerBallers gotta keep up. Capacityflaw does just that against Ice1001, now known as poollegends2005, and yes!!! 3-3! Man we've got everything except a replacement league winning their first match in MLP. pcp_is_back is #1 in BBM, Luckydog71 is #2 in PL...We got your #1 vs. #2 in NCAA Hoops, and the #2-ranked Heels won...Luckydog? You wanna give your league their first win please? Pcp, Lucky's down to 2 solids and the 8, and pcp puts the cueball in the top left, and the cuestick back on the wall. Lucky finishes, 4-3, Legends are now 2-5 since they took over PoolPals' 1-5 record, they've got a good chance to make it 3-5 if they beat HotShotz who have been unexpectedly impressive this season themselves. BBM now 3-4, they host the Pimps Wednesday night to break even at 4-4...But I'm about to tell ya something yu may not have known.
In the past 4 seasons on MLP, there has only been 1 season where a replacement league didn't make the playoffs. In season 1 Unstoppable did it, season 2 the Outlaws did it, season 4 MadSkillz did it...Well that just leaves season 3...when EZ8 just missed the playoffs. Through 13 weeks they finihed 6-6...never got to make up a 13th but it didn't matter, they needed an 8-5 record to get in. Pool Legends? They have a very good chance with the team they have, to come i with a 1-5 record and get into the playoffs...Hey Lisa, Eddie, Monkey, Hero, BlackSilver... They DO have a chance right?
On a more personal note, some of you may have noticed a huge change in attitude from me lately, and of course a quite noticeable slack in posts. I won't use any of the work I've had to do offline as an excuse, I simply blame my ignorance for letting any emotions flow over where they shouldn't. All I can say is "I'm sorry" and you guys can take it however you feel like taking it. That's to everyone in general, not just any specific person. But one thing will never change no matter what you guys try to do..............................................................................................Jammy smells =D
