Bentleague IV first match in the books and there were some surprises...

Straight from A tale of two cities - it was the best of times for some and the worst of times for others.  Two best teams on paper come out shaky and prognosis for a title is not good if they do not rebound soon.

Cuban Missile Crisis takes three third set tie breakers to show experience and moxy do pay off.

Super Ray looks super in strong single match showing against Kobrock.  Witnessed a lot of good points in this one but Ray had all the answers on this heated September evening.  at least no rackets were thrown but  the battle of top spins and slice back hands went to the steadier one in the end.

Undefeated Jeff Softhands Thompson pairs with the latin assassin and takes down the Flying Burritto Captain and Nice Guy Gordo proving once again that nice guys do finish last.  Just like Mush in the Bronx Tale...cries of “we can’t win” we’re heard when Burrito’s posted their line up.  O’fer since 2016 has the Chairmen threatening a mid season cut just like last weeks Cleveland kicker.  Don’t worry Gordo...if Cleveland can get a W in the NFL you can get a W in BIV.  that is...if they ever put u back in the line up.

El Cubano carries the steady elder statesmen Kingsdorf to victory on clay vs. the chairmen and new comer Butcher.  Third set nail biter ends unceremoniously after a couple of double faults in third set TB.  Rude welcome for the 5 inch inseam wearing Beau Chen transplant.

Burritos able to capture one as Big John Allen justifies 1st. round selection pairing with the new mouth of the south former captain of HHH.  Jim Cornett has nothing on Brad after a few Beers but props to a good hard fought win.  Rumor has it that Councilman Keller not happy with his protégés work ethic on the tennis court since the “new girl” came into the picture.  Hopefully the “new Girl” can help Blake with his toss before the Councilman’s head explodes.

final result CMC 3, Flying Burritos 1.

In the night cap it got ugly...

If you thought the Cannoli’s were hated last year...wait till you play the Mother Tucker’s!  Mitch “pink koozy” Tucker comes out with guns loaded and brands competitors that lose.  Could the pip squeak squirrel lawyer be behind this classless but ingenious act?  Looks like a common thread to last years hated champions.

Early Analysis says that either Tucker is a genius or Donald is a wuss after throwing poor Todd the wet sprocket to the wolves in his single pairing against the Ego Fair.  Betting line says that both may be true.  Valiant effort acknowledged from the Todd but the Ego gets stoked again with straight set victory.

Feature match has a 1 and a 3  for MT’ers vs. a 2 and a 3 for the Double Shots.  Singles Dodging Donald pairs with “all he does is Win” Regouffre and wins anti-climatic third set tie breaker.  Perry “Peacock” Gaffney proves excellent addition to B IV masses but falls with Charlie Jacobs in an early B IV classic. Crowd was into it as chairs were pulled to center court in critical third setter to welcome strutting Perry to the league.  Ronny looking like a cross between adam west and Willie Nelson provides calming influence to Dodging Donald and all his extra voices.

Line three featured Young B Harvey and the pip squeak Lawyer vs. Captain America and the former Captain of String Music.  The captain has to admit...very humbling defeat at the hands of the squirrel and the younger Harvey.  Dont judge the book by the cover with this guy Captains.  although he walks like his dad and appears to creek like the tin man this youngster covers the net and volleys almost as good as john allen.  the squirrel was steady and that combination spelled doom for the free birds.  rock and roll express better rebound or captain american will need another outfit.

Line 4 pitted the Double shot Captain and Cannon Cayman vs. don’t call  me curious George and come back Shane.  The match ups worked out for the motherfucking tucker’s and the battle of the forehands went to the young squire.  chalk a second victory up for two thirds of the geritol three.  hopefully
no issues with scoring with this crew but final as recorded was 4 and 4 for the ambidextrous veteran and the jovial youngster.  

two teams at 3 and 1,  two teams at 1 and 3.

a lot of tennis left but inauspicious start for some making pre season predictions vulnerable.  time to step it up!


Great start and great attendance.  Congrats to all the winners.  anyone else notice that Doug wore his tennis clothes and shoes to throw off the opposition.  MTers gamesmanship on the rise.  rest of you captains better bring it.

Tucker’s Bitch

ps.
if i see another pink koozy someone better hide the knives in my kitchen.


next match Saturday.

Bentleague X: The Sequel Draft Recap

  Bentleague X: The Sequel Draft Recap   Not for the faint of heart…back by popular demand…here is the St. Bernard Swami’s recap of the Bentleague X Draft.   First things first, this is an unbiased take on the captain’s picks and how the teams fared out on draft night.   As the ombudsman of Bentleague you can count on an unbiased evaluation of each team from top to bottom.   Congrats to the Commish for finally getting rid of the cockamamie scoring system that favored top picks more than late round selections.   This is an inclusive league for all PAC members, and a win by Rockin Toupsie or Josh (Mr. Irrelevant) should be just as much as a win by Russ “Don’t call me Russell” Anderson.   Wait…did Josh win any Bentleague matches last year?   I digress…on to the team draft grades. Drafting in the number one position was Hairy Hal Neitzschman aka. Spin Doctors II.   No surprise here with Russ going first overall.   Clear #1 by everyon...

Bentleague Blog/Vlog 10/22/2025 - Round 2 Match 2 and 3

  I'll BE BACK! Going with the VLOG to recap match 2 and 3 of Round 2. https://youtu.be/rLpJlQK81UM? feature=shared --- Here are a couple of parting shots as I go to the IR: Sensei Kobrock will live in Bentleague infamy for having a person who was in Germany in the line up. Grant is still winless!  How is this even possible with those fundamentals. Rudy is working hard to fulfill third round expectations...finally gets in the Win column and it only took five matches! Old Knees Harvey should not complain about being at line 6.  Congrats on the W with Millsie. Nick is the only captain this year to not have a previous title under his belt and its showing.   Don't bet on the Ego on Saturday mornings! The youngin's are asserting themselve,s but a few of the old guard still know how to win.  Especially in TSTB's. Round 3 will reveal who had the best draft middle on down.  Time to get some more players involved. Being on the IR during Bentleague is more painf...
