Screwed The Pooch

Sometimes, if you need to deliver bad news, at least you can present it in a nice package.  That is exactly my strategy this week, given our recent performance.  It was ugly, but I'm hoping you will be distracted by the shiny new website.
 
Heading in to the week's action, The Ship was in first place by a seemingly comfortable six points.  Although we were facing the second-place team, anything better than an 11-5 loss would keep us atop the league.  But, before we could say "Upper East Side Democratic Party," The Ship was in deep trouble, dropping six of the eight S501 games.  Only Andrew helped stave off defeat, winning both of his games.

But, just like the Democrats' new healthcare bill, things got much, much worse in Cricket.  Rich / Andrew dropped both in the opener, despite leading by a mile in game two.  John / Darian also dropped two, and suddenly things were looking very bad for The Ship's lead.

The final, punishing blows were delivered in D501, as The Ship was once again swept away.  The 14-2 loss was a doozy, and left The Ship six points out of first place.  But, we have two weeks to make it back up before we head to the playoffs.

Andrew - The only wins of the night.
