November 23, 2003Back in blackMaking his first regular start of the season on Sunday, Lobsterboy said he needed every edge he could get. But an intimidating all-black wardrobe wasn't enough as he was overwhelmed, 20-9, by a potent offensive barrage that included three of the game's most explosive scorers and a wily veteran to quarterback that offense. "I have to set the tone," says Lobsterboy of his frightening pallor. "The players have a jump on me, they know each other, they know their moves." Sunday, in the second consecutive game plagued by wet, slippery conditions, that meant springing the odd man rush behind sputtering defenders who couldn't hustle back fast enough. "On the wet court, it's nearly impossible for somebody to get back in a hurry," says Paul One, who played one of his strongest games of the season despite a lingering illness that almost kept him out of the lineup. "We were just trying to find an open man. You want to get as many shots as early as possible on (Lobsterboy), you wanna test him." For Lobsterboy, the exam started early, as his high-powered opponents jumped to a quick 8-2 lead, batting in rebounds and cross-court passes with nary a challenge. "When you get two, three, four cracks at a shot, eventually it's going to go in," says Paul On Posted by jaysuburb at November 23, 2003 04:34 PMComments
You're right beetlegirl...nobody believes its not weather-related! ps. too bad PFG its not the same without you. Posted by: elvis at November 28, 2003 04:26 PMSorry Wink, just kidding about the Hollywood return. Posted by: PaulOne at November 28, 2003 03:55 PMBeetle Boy won't be returning to the courts until Sunday, December 7th. I know no one will believe me but none of my absences have been weather-related. Posted by: Beetle Boy at November 27, 2003 04:01 PMHollywood will be making his return this Sunday! Posted by: PaulOne at November 27, 2003 12:37 PMnyet lobsterboy, i don't like to kick the wounded when they are down. Once you haf fixed your game, then you come talk to me about rematch... Geez look what you started Newgay... Posted by: elvis at November 26, 2003 01:27 PMpfg, er Mr Pig, dare we make this a double or nothing match, when your hoof is better? Or should we have an old fashioned olympic style shoot out match? Posted by: lobsterboy at November 26, 2003 09:27 AM"Billy Idol your [sic] going down"? Enough with the gayness Lubesterboy. new guy, i am proud of the fact that i have improved in goaltending. 20 goals in one hour, roughly 1 goal every 3 minutes, is better than my famous 6pack challenge against PFG, where i believe i let in 3 goals every minute...(btw PFG, i won't forget that i bought premium beer for you, and you bought industrial sludge beer, maybe you should be called PCG, pretty cheap goalie, PFG not pretty f...gay). Ooops the gay card again and newguy, did you have to bring up liberace? Thanks Wink for the threat issued from Mtl, i look forward to the booming slapshot, the withering yells, and the intensity. i agree with elvis, no love, take no prisoners, and Billy Idol your going down next weekend! Posted by: lobsterboy at November 25, 2003 01:58 PMWay to go throwing in in the gay card Elvis. I think Jay is trying to sanitize the stories to keep the poop talk down Newgay...oops, I mean Newg...no ...thats fine as it is!
