Bentleague IV Blog 11/2/2018 – Where’s Waldo (Olinde) edition

Welcome to November...
Match Recap from 11/1/2018.



Mother Tuckers vs. the Flying Burritos:
610 Stomper and Ronny win VS. Jay and Chris in 3rd set tie breaker.
Battle of the top spin lobs won by the 610 Stomper Wanna-be Hunt and the always steady Ronny Regouffre.  Biggest surprise of the match was that no rackets were broken by the disheveled short short wearing Jaybird.  Seasaw battle in the tie breaker ended unceremoniously with a 2nd double fault securing the win for #EffingMotherTuckers.  Surprising good spirited after the match showed a lot of class Jaybird.

The Dancing Donald and Magic Mike Mount win in straights VS Entrepreneur Dave and Chairman Bentley
Did the #EffingMotherTuckers captain really put his number 1 draft pick on line 4?  To the Chairman Bentley’s dismay – YES.  Seriously Mitch…Make Donald Man up.  Someone is trying to build up his stats like Mickey did for Rocky in Rocky 3 after his eye injury.  At least we got to welcome Magic Mike Mount to Bentleague IV.  Heard the good shots were few and far between for this Flying Burrito twosome and even the red rally towels couldn’t propel them to win more than three games.  Early night for the Sad faced McGuire was literally left holding the Burrito.  Nice idea Andrew! Curious to know how many you brought to the tennis courts and how many you took home?

The Mouth that roared (Brad) and Big john Allen Win vs Robby and B III in Third set tie breaker
The Mouth is not trying to make friends that’s for sure.  Could be the most hated heckler in tri-state area.  Entertaining match witnessed by early finishers of match one and 2nd match early arrivers.  Close third setter goes to the hard serving / long armed combo of Team Burrito.  One too many missed volleys by the Chairman’s apprentice doomed the #EffingMotherTuckers pairing.  Burritos compliments of Captain Burrito McQuaid.   

Doug “the Chin” Autin and Paul “I wear my hair like Tim Tebow” Eskine lose to Rocky and Gordo in Third Set tie breaker. 

This one was closer than expected but in the end best team on paper prevailed.  #EffingMotherTuckers captain trying to get Eskine’s matches in early.  Odds are we may not be seeing the Tebow look alike in December.  Captain Fucker happy with 2 and 2 playing 11th and 12 round picks. 

CMC vs. Double Shots:
Who’s Crying Now Duo loses vs. Councilman Keller and El Cubano
Another Stat Mongol, Captain Cubano pairing himself with the Councilman serves up bagel and a broomstick to Journey 1981 Classic combo.  Harvard on the Bayou Blogger trying to figure this out because it was not even close. Jimmy the Jew’s stepson seemed distracted.  Jimmy the Jew’s stepson don’t like 7:30pm matches.  Hide the IPA’s because Jimmy the Jew’s stepson is not happy with poor showing.  This one was over before Line 3 started the 2nd set so I’m not even sure we had a shirt change after 1st set to Bentley’s chagrin.  Next match at 6pm so Jimmy the Jew’s stepson promises to play better.

Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch wins vs. Si Senor’ and Manly Man Miller
Wait ….did El Cubano put his 11th round selection on Line 2 vs. the undefeated Funky Bunch tandem.  No surprises with this outcome.  Psst.  Manly Man Miller may want to have a talk with you Captain Cubano.  Senor’ Sid has a nice forehand but should not be on line 2 Captain.  The Ego don’t need freebies.  May actually be time to put the undefeated first overall selection at line one Captain Willy.  Just saying!
 
Certified G and Slick Willy win in straights vs. “Not So” Super Ray and the formally undefeated Jedi Jeff Thompson
Best team on paper my ass.  Free Willy and the Gangster rise to the challenge and administer crushing first defeat to Padawan Thompson.  Looking like the favorites pre-match, crowd says Jedi Jeff and not-so Super Ray played well enough to win.  Just like you don’t talk about fight club, Free Willy don’t want to hear about pre-match favorites.  High level of tennis on display with Free Willy controlling the net and  the Prince of the Parish showing why he is[PT-O1]  the best service returner at PAC. 

Vicster Morlas and Dr. Nietzch lose vs. Stylish Schneider and the Bionic Ryan Doubt
This one hurt from a Double Shots perspective.  Two points away from a tie for first place and then in the blink of an eye (not to mention two short lobs later) we are left with a 2-2 split (to El Cubano’s glee).  Welcome debut for Bionic Doubt playing with the young difference maker.  Favorable matchup on the surface for Double Shots equalized by clay and wind.  This one may haunt the Doctor and Vic the Mick for a while.  At least there were no foot faults.  Well…none were called anyway….
Latest Standings as follows:
T -1 CMC 14W 10L
T-1 Mother Tuckers 14W 10L
3 Double  Shots 12W 12L
4  Flying Burritos 8W 16L

Here are some mid-season observations:
·         Half way home Guys and we still don’t have an Olinde sighting.
·         Certified Italian Gangster starting to like doubles and is really a ½ inch taller than the ego.
·         Undefeated Kingsdorf asking why undefeated George getting all the Geritol Love
·         Time to play Mark the Ego Fair at line 1
·         #EffingMotherTuckers Captain either a genius or an Asshole
·         Jimmy the Jew’s stepson loves IPA’s, himself, and Bentleague
·         Cannon Cayman tired of storm chasing
·         Eskine needs a new hairdo
·         The chin still in the running for title number 4
·         Softhands Thompson has a new nick name at his own request
·         Gordo gives out good Halloween candy
·         Hunt is really a 610 stomper
·         The Chairman would like Captain Burrito to match him up with Big John Allen after impressive showing in Florida.  On line 4 though.
·         Speaking of Line 4…Man up John Dancing Bear Allen and if you do play line 4, don’t brag about your victory.
·         Power of the P is real.  Just ask Blake.
·         Tony and Robby got wins because of Free Willy.
·         Magic Mike Mount pretty good tennis player Mitch.
·         Nick and Tyler learning old guys can still play tennis.
·         Ps.  Tyler you still owe me for waffle house
·         PSS. Dave…waffle house called…they said you should give up tennis and train short order cooks for a living

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...
