Crooks Fail to Fail without Captain as More Questions Loom

Game Recap
The Heroes of the 10th Block tallied their first non-loss of the indoor season on Sunday, lasting out the Ecofinishes to a 3-3 draw. This brings the pink record to 0-4-1 and earns the Crooks their first point of the season.

The K Street Kings and Kweens put on a clinic of offensive mastery and defensive domination from the first whistle, despite the strong presence of both beer and cupcake hangovers respectively. Goals were tallied by faux-hawked forward Tim Malacarne who put up two in the first half. He was defaulted the third goal after the Eco's finished themselves off to bring the Crooks to the intermission up 3-2.

K Street bent but did not break in the second half allowing only the equalizer and not much else. The defense held a block party in the closing minutes of the match, resisting an onslaught of shots from the Ecofinishers.

The Melon Maulers was ecstatic after the came. "If what they say about tying is true, that it's like kissing your sister, then maybe I didn't need to spend so much money on Amy's ring," said defender, and West Virginia native Justin Sargent after the game, "I rather enjoyed that."

The team did not appear lost without the services of their captain, who had better places to be. These places included Michigan, which was boasting a balmy negative 8 degrees on Saturday. "I think that the team, as a unit, really stepped up and filled the leadership void," said Malacarne who filled in as captain, "Next week we'll try to fill something even more substantial - like a thimble."

More Questions about Captain's Commiment
Captain Dimbiloglu did appear at a poker tournament which he organized on Friday night at which he won $20 dollars. If you recall, Dimbiloglu did not want to spend more than $50 to change his flight but the airline wanted to charge him $100. The $50 difference could clearly have been offset by the $20 he won and the $60 he blew on poker chips from Brookstone, now residing (perhaps permanently) in his trunk. Team Comptroller Tim Snyder said his office was looking into it. "I didn't need to take math at GW to see the issues here," he said via telephone, "which is good because I didn't." Dimbiloglu was not available for comment.

Next Week
The K Street Crooks travel to Fairfax Sportsplex next Saturday to take on the Spinoffs. The match starts at 3:00PM and the team is confident Pink Power can bring another point home to K Street. "Spinoffs?? That's a dumb sounding name, we should be able to beat them," said forward Ben Hoefs. "That logic has never failed us."
