Monday Night Picks
Booze N Spliffs @ UnitedPool - Thank god UP is the home team. -_- Anyways, the season has been disappointing for both teams. On one hand you have BNS coming in, trying to make a name for themselves, and they have but not the one they wanted. UnitedPool returned looking for a strong start and that hasn't exactly happened either. So finally, SOMEONE is going to get a win on the season and I'm thinking it'll be UnitedPool. They played MadSkillz a really good match last week overall, BNS hasn't really told us they want to win by the way they've played. If you can get them in a long game, force them to take shots, they will take them and when they miss, it's all over. UnitedPool takes it 5-2.
PoolFiction @ 8Ball Runners - 2 really good teams here I think, but there's one problem. 8Ball Runners have gone underachieving once again. Eventually you're gonna have to ask yourselves are they really underachieving, or they just not that good? Here it seems we may see PFN's Captain Kerryanne start playing reserves to get more players closer to the 5 7v7 games required for Playoffs, so the Runners may have a chance but I think PoolFiction has it bagged as they start possibly the toughest 3 weeks of their whole season, and will win 5-2 as well.
Bearskin Eightballers @ Jokers Alley - Well, Jokers back in action after a forfeit W last week over... Ah forget it. Anyways, the Jokers are simply better. BE will be overmatched just about every game, they're gonna need a lot of breaks to go their way. Jokers win 6-1.
Pool Hustlers @ Breakers Alley - The Alleys are invading Monday night! ...Right. Just another expected blowout. Cory should probably get away form his usual 7 and let some backups play to get a game taken care of early on, while obviously still staying competitive and making sure he doesn't let BA steal a win. I think PH will win something like 6-1, maybe 5-2.
Not expecting any matches taking us to game 7 waiting for a winner, but you never know. Any team can get hot for one night and pull off a shocker. We can only wait and see. Also throughout the night, and week, think about those down in New Orleans and throughout Louisiana as katrina passes by. Apparently it has lost a tad bit of force but it's still going to cause immense damage when she's finished. Even up here in Maine we're gonna get the ghost of Katrina pretty much, just light rain and such but we're a lot luckier than those who will get hit before us. Hopefully everybody is safe, and the Superdome holds, and ultimately I think we all hope this thing magically disappears but that doesn't look likely.
