Smackdown at Monday Night League

Posted On Monday, February 3rd, 2003 By David Veatch

Ok, maybe it wasn’t a smackdown per say, but given the odds, I’m going to run with it. Our team, made up of myself with only two BCA-style in house league sessions under my belt, Dean, also with two but with far less table time, Matt with no league experience, and Craig also with none, beat the first place team tonight. I didn’t expect us to be anywhere but last place, honestly. I put the team together to have fun, not win. Given the pressure in place on my Thursday night APA 9-ball team, I really just wanted to have a league night where the biggest worry was whether the cute little bisquit of a waitress was going to remember my water. Out of 11 teams, we’re in fourth, bordering on third place. How’s that for a happy turn of events? Tonights win has an extra special flavor to it also. Two weeks ago, we lost to the next to last place team. When I say "lost", what I really mean is "were hit in the face 18 times with our own cue sticks and left to drown in our own blood and tears." It was horrible. It was shameful, more ยป
