Hope you all enjoyed the one week hiatus. Team B8 was on its bye week last week, and the rust showed last night. A few lapses in concentration were all it took for mighty B8 to fall to its stiffest competition yet (thats what she said). One positive to take away (and I had to think real hard to come up with one) is that we most definitely would have dominated any of our previous 3 opponents if we played as well as we did last night. The other team last night played like a well oiled machine, they took advantage of our miscues and that was really all there was to it. Well, almost.
B8 isn't going to receive a game ball for our performance last night. Too traumatizing an ending. Instead the game ball will go to the horrendous referee. I'm not going to come out and say the word, but she was a "rhymes with bunt." A seriously blind "rhymes with bunt." I'm not sure if the other team paid a little extra in ref's fees or if the Maestros threatening body language and stolen looks turned her against us but it sure seemed the fix was in from the start, and there is nothing more aggravating than realizing midway through a match that your side isn't going to get a call the rest of the way.
