2006 Volleyball Playoff Game (8/29/2006)

On Monday night, Team TRx had, in the words of Golden, a "Nice (playoff) win... Its a wonder what a team that's not coached by Berardi can do." In response, Berardi congratulated the team on their victory, and made some sort of stupid pathetic attempt at a joke involved bricks and a house. What did it all mean? Nobody knows, and we were unable to bring in an elf translator to find out in time for this write-up.

2006 Volleyball Game (8/14/2006)

Last night TRx took on Larry David and the rest of Konica Minolta for their last game before the playoffs. TRx was nervous from the start, as Golden mentioned that "this team is supposed to be good." Pregame jitters as well as a feisty little spider crawling around on her had Ana out of her element, while many other players were distracted by thoughts and discussions of an apparatus known only by the name "The Rabbit." Silly rabbit, trix are for kids...

Softball Playoff Game 2 (8/9/2006) - Blue Sox? More Like Boo Sox

Last night, in a sad state of affairs, the dream season of the TRx softball team came to a disappointing end at the hands of the Blue Sox. With one playoff loss already, it was do or die time for TRx to attempt to continue on in the double elimination tournament. However, in this case, TRx chose death, as they suffered a humiliating 15-5 loss, as the mercy rule was invoked in the 4th inning. In fact, it may have been the worst game ever played by the team, and the blame for this is clearly on Captain Berardi. After Monday's painful 7-2 loss, B-Rad decided to mix things up, putting himself at the rover position in the field, and batting 7th, with Legrand taking over the 2 spot, while keeping the hot-hitting Buonocore at the 8th spot in the lineup. As most of Berardi's decisions usually do, this one failed, as Legrand and the Elf combined to go 1-4, while KB went 2-2. The utilization of the rover was also a terrible idea, as the Blue Sox guided their hits to the open spots at will (although even if they hit it right at Berardi, he'd probably screw it up anyway).

Softball Playoff Game 1 (8/7/2006) - It Wouldn't Be A Loser's Bracket Without Berardi

As Jim Moron would say: "Playoffs? Don't talk about playoffs. Are you kidding me? Playoffs? I'm just hoping we can win a game, another game." Unfortunately for TRx, the game that was lost was during the playoffs, putting them on the brink of elimination... Last night TRx opened their playoff run with a devastating 7-2 loss to CAPMARK in opening round action to fall into the aptly name "Loser's Bracket." Despite having the previous week off, TRx came out flat as they could only muster 5 hits. Even getting the whole team there on time was a struggle, as despite the promises from Captain Berardi that there would be a plethora of female participants (at least 6 according to Berardi), the game started with only Shannon as the lone female. Well, some might include Berardi as well, since he throws like a woman...

2006 Volleyball Game (8/7/2006)

Taking on The Mod Squad in late afternoon volleyball action last night, TRx looked to continue to the march towards the playoffs. With the playoffs almost upon us, TRx decided to employ some new tactics this time around, included using their sex appeal as a weapon, as a near record four females showed up to participate (Kim, Sarah, Shannon, Monika). These fine specimens, combined with Blin's size small shirt, and the guns of sleeveless Golden, JR, and KB proved to be too much for the opposing semi-retarded four person "Odd" Squad to handle.

Softball Game (7/26/2006)

Last night, in thrilling softball action, TR took on one of the many GMAC teams, with the potential for TRx's first ever playoff berth on the line. With the game starting late, TRx took advantage of the added time to consume copious amounts of alcohol instead of practicing, which paid dividends in the long run. Knowing of TRx's affinity for alcohol, and despite their 2-9 record, GMAC didn't want to be known as the team that let TRx into the playoffs, and brought in many ringers. Initially, this seemed like a poor predicament for TRx, as they were playing without both manny and orr, due to a honeymoon... I'll leave it to you to determine if they were on a honeymoon with each other. Yet despite missing these two studs, TRx was confident, as they welcomed blin back from his tripod injury, Kelly back from an alien abduction, and the new addition of Shannon to the team.

2006 Volleyball Game (7/24/2006)

TRx took on team Chrysler last night in exciting and stimulating volleyball action. TRx was without former captain GLG, who was beginning his lifetime suspension from the league for his lack of sportsmanship and general jerkish demeanor. Without GLG, it was as if a great weight was removed from team TRx. Actually, it was just the weight of Greg's bulbous head. But without him keeping the team down, TRx welcomed Sarah L to the team, and the results were nothing short of spectacular. Overcome with joy due to Greg's absence, TRx jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead in the first set, as they were fueled by the thirst quenching frozen gatorades and water brought by super-fan/team mom Dana, who showed her true allegiance and passion for the real v-ballers.
