Inevitable and Against All Odds

Alas, a re-draft happened. No one is to blame for this, things happen that are out of our control, but the captains were quick to rectify the situation even if it meant staying up way too late.

With Ashley already asleep (not before giving her blessing for Borges to pick the lottery order) and all 4 captains on xbox, Borges pulled out the names 1 by 1. Brett. Jared. Johnny. Borges. Yes that's right, Borges got last pick for the 3rd time in a row. Again the draft order goes 1234, 4321, 1234, 4321

And the picks went something like this.....

Eric
Nick
Ron
Griff

Darrin
Billy T
Mike W
Joe

Demaio
Bobby
Andrew
Frendon

Elliot
Tony
Reggie
Jack

And so at midnight what was completely unnecessary was complete.

My new team of Nick, Ward, Reggie, and Bobby is ready to go.

What could have been Ron, I just had to go in a different direction!

Brett said...

Re-grading the re-draft

Johnny was the clear winner. He went from having no shot what so ever to being the 2nd ranked team, provided Tony plays like he did last week. 3rd pick is the best isn't it Johnny?

Jared had the chance to get Ron again with the second pick and yet, he chose Nick instead. Jared falls in love with other teams players. But I'm guessing Nick is already on the trade block. Don't trade anyone. Your team is the clear #1 as of now.

Brett lost Tony but retained all his other original teammates of Eric, Joe and Demaio. Brett's the opposite of Jared. He falls in love with his own players.

Borges...will he ever catch a break? Granted, the small rink hides a lot of blemishes of players, but the bottom line is that him and Griff won't be able to sub at all in any game all day and Darrin better be good after a year of doing nothing.

Nick said...

JB said...

Is darrin playing this week. I need him to get some reps

Jared said...

Look how chipper nick is, do you like your new team better? Borges you get to spend a whole day with brendon explaining to you the odds of picking last in the draft 3 straight times!

JB said...

That or how or zone defense will work.

Ron said...

I once had a dream that Jared was smart,
But now I can see that he's sharp as a fart.

The old team was a beauty, that he said would stay,
But Jared choose defense to show him the way.

So Jared says his teams is ready to go,
I say no way you'll shine at the show.

I'm hoping you wonder how your team will fare,
Cuz I will be gunning to be your nightmare.

So you needed to go in this different direction,
Now I will defend you like a fungal infection.

It's going to be fun to take your team down,
That bright smug smile turning into a frown.

I hope you know this is all in fun,
But It's gonna feel good to see you undone.

You have a week to think you've been wise,
When the ball drops will be your demise.

JB said...

Jared has a target on his back! I love an angry motivated Ron.

John said...

That is some beautiful poetry!

Jared said...

Stand in line Ron! Your part if a growing group of angry hockey players like griff jb billy Demaio and many others whose entire goal is to ruin my time at hockey.

Ron said...

Yup I'm waiting in line. I can be a team player.

However, I ask you, how many of your adversaries are multi-talented?

I already feel you are being broken psychologically and of course the physical smack-down will come later.

Here is some more psychological gamesmanship that is sure to weigh on your little mind.

Oh Jared oh Jared you were once my friend,
But now you think I'm just an old has-been.

You used to come to me for advice,
But now if you do it will be no dice.

When the time comes you'll be ready to play,
But I'll be there to stand in your way.

Your hoping to ride Nick to promised land,
But I'm bringin a fork cuz your already canned.

I know Jared your pretty good on that court,
But my mission is clear, you will have to abort.

I also know that your a witty kind of guy,
But trust me when I say it's time to go bye bye.

Brings years to my eyes.
