up and then down, down, down
after a scheduling "quirk" that resulted in the Terrors having almost the entire month of February off, we made our triumphant return to the court last Tuesday to take on the venerable Watch Your Balls. the time off had only augmented our powers, however, and we took them down in straight sets. i seem to recall Kat shooting well (and winning the possibly discontinued "Hot Hand of the Day") to take our record to 3-0 on the year. other than that the details have gotten a little fuzzy.
our powers eroded during the short 6-day layoff before last night's match with nemeses If You Want My Bocce, however. despite having no female representation due to meetings and illness, the boys started strong to take the first game with relative ease, 7-2. then i put myself into the game and the whole thing went down the shitter. we didn't really make any terrible shots, just not any really good ones, while they started making just about everything. the 2nd game finished at 3-7 and the rubber game was barely as close as the 1-7 score would indicate. frankly, i don't even want to dwell on this one bit longer. i think our losing streak to the Rodders has reached 5 consecutive matches including at least 2 in which we won the 1st game only to succumb in the end. this must stop.
next week we get defending champs ODB and the chance to take our revenge for the ouster in last year's playoffs.
record: 3-1
mood: surly
