Day 4 Action!

Game 1:

Lady Berries vs. Q-Balls

Three of the heaviest hitters in the tournament facing each other in an elimination game this early in the tournament? Who had that in the pool? Nobody. Kirk was there, too. Don't forget that.

Pow-pow-pow-pow-pow!!

What the heck was that?! I'll tell you. That was the sound of Lady Berries storming out to a 5-1 advantage. Holy cats and dogs! This game is getting over quickly!

Pow-pow-pow-pow-pow-poww!!

Whoa. My head is spinning. What in the name of the Great Egg was that?!? Unfortunately for Lady Berries, that was the sound of Q-Balls ripping off a 16-2 run to put themselves up 17-7. Ye gods. Joel took the opportunity to practice some slams, safe in the knowledge that their ten-point lead would hold.

It did, eventually.

Q-Balls: 21, Lady Berries: 15

Game 2:

Velveeta Manwich vs. Jew Magix

All the religious groups were represented at the table for this game (assuming that Gibby is Hindu, as I suspect). The only question here today was which god would smile on which team. Manwich rushed out to a quick lead as Harry Hannukah forgot to wake up Clemmy. Buddha abandoned Stephen Wong for a while as he tried to shake off the rust. Ganesh was rocking the court as Gibby and Will were about to usher in a Great Convergence at the beginning of a New Age.

Alas, the sleeping giant awoke and Stephen found his happy center and the Magix pulled ahead. Neither team could gain a firm foothold on the lead as both sides went on four or five point mini-runs throughout the game, keeping things interesting as a multitude of deities battled in the heavens for ping pong supremacy. As the Greeks used to say, "By all the gods!!!"

In the end, Will and Gibby turned out to be more Velveeta than Manwich. Apparently the collection plates in their churches were a little light this week.

Jew Magix: 21, Velveeta Manwich: 18
