Week 8: Place, Showup, Wins

Game 1
Sludge entered the gates at the Polo Fields on its high horse undefeated in the spring season. Oddlyenough, oddsmaker were less-than awed at the oddities of this matchup. Here's what brown had to work with:
1 - savage men (David - tweaked hamstring, NICH - fatigue, Joe - hadn't played in 3 weeks, MattHew - strained eyelash, MicHael - carpal tunnel).
2 - the young colts (opponent) had the loins to stomp.

Sludge went off with no horsing around. Their cohesive play was founded by person-D creating turnovers and then marely transitioning smoothly from D-to-O.

Up 4 strides at half!

Around the turn toward 15, big brown's up-field movement began losing out on an aggravating loose zone. 13-10. A timeout was smartly taken to corral and take some livestock. Like a past champion, this lean big brown closed the game out outpacing Pgalore for the whinny -- 15-10 (3:2).

As wonderful as the first game was, this game lacked any stress tests -- fact that has nothing to do with the extra players Sludge gained. The missing piece to this second game was giddyup. Brown kept the pace from the first game while ShamWow-N-stRoll trotted.

Aided by Nigel, Andrew & Russ, the first half was easily downed like a minted julep; 8-3. Gulp!

MJ, Bucci & Meg easily reined their women during 4:3 play with a gallant gallop to a 2nd win of the day -- 15-5 (3:1).

:Game Notes:
CHarlie was the second cutest fan after Charlotte Rose arrived.
