August 10, 2000 Reporters Cammi Granato *** Rich Storm

Beer nuts and Harvey Whip the Whites
 The August 4th summer skate provided plenty of ice time as we skated 4 on 4 with only 8 skaters on a team.  A 15 pack of Strohs only left 3 guys without a beer. 
(The guy that bought it and the 2 Goalies went beer less) 
The pace was much slower than the July game because only 1 female fan was in the stands.  She inspired Harvey to do a 360 spin-a -rama and put the game out of reach with a goal for the Blues. Beer Nuts had scored in the 2nd period to give the Blues the Meaningful lead.  Stump was spectacular as he shut out the Meaningful Whites.  Roger was able to score 2 Meaningless goals while Stump stopped him 8 or 9 times. 
Berserk may have had one, but he was under control this week.  Johnny Z and Doc picked several corners on Drano.  Tweedy also solved him on the first shift.  Drano made a spectacular kick out save when Beak tipped a Butt Head pass.  Rich Storm made the most unusual play when he gloved the puck behind Stump's net and held on to it for 5 or 6 seconds, then he avoided a hand pass by flipping it into the air and swatting it into the slot where Joe Jr. tapped it in for an illegal meaningless goal.

Beer Nuts scored Game winner!
Harvey does a Spin-a-Rama!
Thor's bad back kept him out of action on the ice, but not at Henrys
Knarf and Mike just got the scores of the Cubs and Sox losses.

Butt Head drinks to a Duffer Win!

Rich Storm sent the above picture with hopes of getting the Sox some ink in the Duffer News.  He forgets that the Sox are the team with 100 flubs and the Cubs would have a lot more wins and the Sox would have a lot more loses if the Cubs were in the Central Division of the American League. (See the Fact below)

The Cubs have pounded teams like the Twins and KC (667 winning %).  They have even beaten the Sox 67% of the time when Big Hurt has to get out of the dug out and put on a glove.  The Cubs have outscored them 22-13 when they play by the Senior circuit rules.



 
 
 
 
 
 

 Get ready for the Persied Meteor shower on August 11-12.  All you have to do is find a nice dark spot on the satellite image above and go there.  Watch the sky in the north east for shooting stars. 

We Leave for Wally World in Florida on 8/10/00!  Since Wally bought homes in Charleston SC and Florida, he has been hit by hurricanes twice in each location. What are the odds?  That should be the safest place on earth now!  Let's go to Wally World for the Persied meteor shower!

What a Summer!
