Nacho Suave (1991)

Nothing hits the spot on a long, busy Tuesday night better than a some spicy hot appetizers. This week, The Ship put in an order for Nachos, and boy did he deliver.

Forced to play in freezing cold conditions on a board with a questionable set-up, The Ship felt at a disadvantage form the beginning. Add in the pressure of the Yankee game, and it was no wonder that The Ship was down 4-2 after S501. Only Rich and John were able to piece together wins in the unforgiving conditions.

Cricket started out equally difficult, with Fred / Andrew dropping the first two games. But Rich / Rebecca were able to split their games, and The Ship started to show some life. In the third game, against the opposition's two best players, Nacho delivered. Scoring points, closing out numbers and hitting bulls, he and John delivered two wins and gave The Ship a glimmer of hope heading in to D501.

Unfortunately, Rebecca / John and Rich / Andrew were unable to continue the momentum, as they dropped the first two games. But once again, Nacho hit the spot, pulling out win just when it looked like we might lose to their highly inebriated team. The Ship ended with an 11-7 loss, and an appetite for destruction.

Props:
Nacho: Extra hot, extra spicy.
