in years past this week has been a great bar night…..lots of people off work and a perfect night to get shitty baraccos pizza and a bunch of beers in a stripmall in Crestwood.  with College hoops in full swing we hope to see continued support of this scumbag ridden establishment.

6pm “gotRobbed” vs Brian Healy

Q: whats the best way to get your team back on track?

A: play team Manzke or Team Mac.

Not only is Rob out but Mac will be down a few others this week as well….if Mac can add John Sexton it will change the complexion of this squad but until i see him on the court, we are going to assume it wont happen.  Great opportunity for Don to remember how to be a dominant player….even with Sexton team mac has nobody to match up with Don.

Hannigan Vs Mac

this will be a great matchup…..both never stop but play a completely different game….Hannigan cant shoot but slashes with the best of them.  Mac hasnt taken a shot inside the 3 point line in his 6yr career and is the best shooter in the league

Healy vs “the oafs”

pretty even matchup with Healy vs Gainer and Healy vs Sexton.  as always, team Mac will create matchup issues with both of the giants on the floor

this one is gonna be ugly

Healy 58 Mac 38

7pm O’Malley vs Spaindoni

lots of bad blood in this one…..every single player on the ex worst team in the league is out to get team O’Malley because of their mouthy captain.   horrible time for these teams to match up with McCann going down with the calf strain….if he was playing this game would be a blowout for sure…..BUT, the handicappers have gathered and from the looks of it, IT WILL STILL BE A BLOWOUT.   Team O’Malley has too much to lose and will come out swinging and mark my words, it will be a first round KO.

Bendo vs Nolan

46yr old Billy Nolan has had this game circled on his calendar since he was 12.  Billy has always hated Lugans…..ever since Sarunas Marcullonis beat team Ireland in the 1996 Olympic pigtails.  Big game Billy…lets go

Statham VS Jerry Hahn

Statham is young and quick is will have no chance against Jerrys unrelenting D.   i predict less than 10pts from Statham…i also predict that Jerry will only airball 1 3.

Colin Sullivan vs Hurd

Hurd is a tough matchup……not easy to see around that girly head of hair when he is boxing you out.   Sully is pretty soft so it will be interesting to see if Hurd’s bruiser play can get him out of his comfort zone..

O’Malley vs Pat Fitz

Old and fat vs Old and rested

all of us working folk spend 8-10hrs grinding while Pat Fitz and a few others (not naming names) are kicking their feet up on the couch, taking naps and snapping selfies next to a red truck.  gotta be pretty easy to practice defense when you sit around and do nothing all day.  If Fitz plays his game it could be an ugly game for O’Malley.

Spadoni vs Hunt

I pick Hunt

O’Malley 56 Spadoni 48

8pm John Healy vs Decarlo

if we are being honest, Team Healy kind of stinks.   although they are 2-1, their wins are against 2 very, very bad teams….and of course, lucky for them they run into the 3rd worst team in the league and will coast to 3-1 feeling good about themselves….but dont be fooled.  this team is a fraud and it will show in time.  Team DeCarlo is an interesting group……Great point guard, a big that gets every rebound, a hustle player that has a super high motor and then a bunch of scrappy (remove the s) guards.  cant believe i am saying this but they could use really use DeCarlo tomorrow

Harrigan vs Gierhahn

great match with these 2…..age and talent go to Harrigan, Ethnicity and grit go to Gierhanchez.  Jay must find a way to keen Whitey from scoring at the bucket and will need at least 20 to keep team DeCarlo in the game

Healy Vs Tyler

here is a tip.  when you rebound the basketball, turn around and throw it towards the orange thing attached to the backboard.   if it goes in, you have done good.

Doorhy and Shalvis vs scrappy (remove the s) guards

team DeCarlo has about 5 guys that will rotate on Shalvis and Doorhy.   rumor has it team DeCarlo’s strategy will be to leave Doorhy open and see how many 3’s he can shoot…..will it work?

John Healy 47 DeCarlo 42

9pm Harrigan Vs Manzke

9pm is just enough time for McGinnis to get drunk for his 3rd straight game….at this point, i dont blame him…..they are 2-0 and should have no issues getting to 3-0 after playing Manzke.   this game has all the fixings to be a trap game.  Team Manzke is on the verge of an epic meltdown….Has Cosme lost his touch?   Can Slager finally make a 3?  Does Manzke know how to make a layup?  we shall see.

Cosme vs Koll

Cosme is due for a big game and i have a feeling it will be tonight…..hard to keep a shooter like Andy down

Manzke vs Harrigan

Harrigan is averaging 26 3 point attempts per game and that # will not decrease after this game….he loves to shoot over a smaller player and Manzke comes at the perfect time……i could see him going off for 25 in this game.

Harrigan 56 Manzke 47
