Mr. Clean wins it for the Whites!

3 full lines usually produces a much faster contest than usual, but when Kevin the Cheese head shows up and he gets Art and Brinks Jr. to team up with, the game quickly escalates to men's league speed.  The Reds had Tweedy, Johnny and Tommy Z to keep them in the game.  There were a lot of goals, so I lost track and quickly forgot the score.  I sent out an e-mail plea on Saturday, but my usual reporters did not reply, so the following is a semi true story.*  (Turn up your sound to hear Jimmy Buffett sing that song)  Kevin gave the Whites an early lead, then Art made it 2-0 with a "Cherry Picking Goal".  Tommy Z scored to make it close, but Mr. Clean fired a shot that was headed for the net, but Art smacked it out of the air and into the net, The Anvil never had a chance.  

Kevin scored again, then Art added to the lead with another "Cherry Picking Goal" Tweedy scored for the Reds to make it 5-2.  Mr. Clean took a pass from Brinks Jr. and fired it past the Anvil for the Meaningful game winner.  Mini Wheezer scored in the third to make it 6-3 and it looked like the Reds were on their way to another third period rally, but Kevin-dashed their hopes with another "way to fast for Duffer defensemen goal".  Terry Made a bid for the  Klinger Krash Award when he hit the boards head first.

*Just when I finished my semi true story, my most reliable reporter sent this report at 9:09 PM.  "Better late than never."

Cub Sox Outing is Cancelled!
Klinger was the only one willing to cough up $45 to see the Sox play the Cubs on June 29th at a TBD time.  ESPN will probably make them play a night game.  I guess no one wants to be on the South Side at Midnight on a Sunday night.  Before the Sox won the Series, we used to get 15-20 Duffers every year for a day game.  After the World Series win, the Sox quit offering the group tickets, but after losing 90 games last year, they offered the tickets again, with another increase.  In 2003 we paid $25.00, it went to $28.00 in 2004 and $35.00 in 2005.
