Space Tractor v. Darkside

The weather report for this evening was looking pretty bleak, but I was very happy to see all 12 Space Tractor drivers show up as promised tonight at BF Day. We were able to huddle regarding the taunt, throw the silver kickball around quite a bit, and get a bit buzzed. The weather held, the taunt was exceptional, and Space Tractor is now 2-0!

It didn't go exactly as planned, however. Upon seeing the Darkside for the first time this evening pre-game and welcoming them to the field, we found out some unexpected news. You see, last year your captain spent hours and hours constructing a scale model of the USS Enterprise in order to mock the Darkside (get it?). They countered with a rolling-credits-style story about Miss Commish and her vagina and ended up winning the taunt, much to Keytarded's chagrin. This was the team to taunt this season, in my eyes. So when we sauntered up to the Darkside to wish them good luck, we were crestfallen to learn that they hadn't even prepared a taunt for us . Not only that, but they weren't even able to muster enough players for a regulation game. Eight o'clock came and went, and with only six players representing, Darkside was forced to forfeit. A disappointing win for Space Tractor, but a win nonetheless.

The game went on, however, with Darkside poaching players from Tha Tang and Happy Birthdays in order to form a full team. Since we had already won by default, this would be merely an exhibition match. Matt Hodge decided to play the entire game with a beer in his hand. We had two brand new rookies joining us this game, Callie and Kira, and they share MVP status this week for hitting the ground running and totally rocking in true Space Tractor style. Matt Hodge falls from MVP to LVP this week for dropping the ball twice and letting a ball bounce over his hand once. Granted, he did have a full beer in his hand, and granted, he did manage to catch one pop fly even with the beer, but this was his one chance to get LVP and there you have it. The final score: Space Tractor 8, Darkside 9. Good thing they forfeited!
