The forecast leading up to Saturday was stormy weather. Regardless of the weather, hung over this game was a cloud – would it be a dark or would it be a fluffy, white one?
There was a playoff scene happening at Lake Fairfax as players/teams streamed onto the green open space & just wandered. Why is it that the field you're playing on is always the farthest from where you parked @ Lake Fairfax? From the first pull, Sludge's zoney ways that we know & adore returned. SoliD really Stepped It Up. It was an impressive shutDown of any up field throws, courtesy of the cup.
With a controlled pace to the game, Sludge excelled with turnover creations, then transitioning into catch-&-pass O. Sludge nicely spread the CSinners from sideline-to-sideline with rotating short cuts for gain and always moving the disc forward.
However, it was quiet; maybe too quiet. Remember when you used Online Bill Pay for the first time? Ya know, everything appears to work real easy; maybe too easily? So, all transactions are deliberate, and checked (& announced after every single score). True, you might make an oopsie, you just don't want it an extra zero faux pas.
Well, there was no stopping it...theeff epp-bomb detonated & was heard loud and clear by everyone of all ages on the sidelines. The game continued on with an R-rating due to inflammatory language. Finally, the ordeal was punctuated by Gayle's game-ending catch. Game Over, 15-8.
Lessons Learned from this Game:
1-Don't get stall counted when you're on your own goal line.
2-Don't get stall counted at the start of the 2nd half.
3-Don't combine 1 & 2.
After the more important game was done [& won], Sludge moved to the next field to play Cold Fusion. CF's MO: zone-based D, quick-to-the-disc O. BTW, their oldest player JUST turned twenty-seven (27)...born in 1980!
First half: ???...Hmmm, totally blanking on the details. Oh, did you know David brought doughnuts on Saturday?
Sludge's O labored right away and the struggles at the goal line were indicative of the game. In the second half, Sludge finally found some holes & scored 5 total points. All I'm saying is the Iraqi Border Patrol could learn something from CF's goal line stance.
One-out-of-2 ain't bad especially when the 1 is the more desirable outcome.
Thank you to all Sludge fans for their support!!

Great recap and good win vs CS. Sorry we missed the game but sounds like everyone played great.
SICK Notes during the games:
1. Rob - for his 3 athletic full layouts. Again, I'm blanking on how many he caught.
2. MJ - bcs she had the flu & was still running around!
