March 9th,
2007-
For the third week in a row, the ‘Bulldogs’ faced a
sub-par team. For the third straight game they went down
in defeat, this time losing to the ‘Raiders’ 8-4.
The game was never really close. The ‘Raiders took a
commanding 4-1 lead into the third period. Despite the
‘Dogs’ scoring three in the third, the ‘Raiders’
answered right back with four more of their own.
“Rough
game” Said Alex Martinez. “The goalie sucked, the
defense was drunk and the backstop saw more shots on
goal that the opposing goalie. I apologize to the fans.
You will be seeing some changes as we need to start
getting our act together for playoffs and Vegas. I am
also disappointed that we have not practiced. Believe
me, it shows in every game.
“You
may not see some of our full time players for next
season. This means they may be retained as subs, sent
down to the minors or outright released. I’m not sure
about all of this yet, but players beware--missing games
and last minute absences do not sit well with the club.
You are doing your team an injustice by having them
perform more than they should. That usually leads to
losses, injuries and overall bad sh*t”.
“Several players [free agents] have contacted me with an
interest to join the team. It’s ridiculous that I
continue to hold onto players that refuse to make an
honest effort to improve the team. I know that several
players have outside commitments and I can totally
respect and understand. However, some have no
justification other than Mickey Mouse excuses. I will
look at this in the next few weeks and decide what is
best for the team moving forward.”
Could
this be the end of the ‘Bulldog’ era? Stay tuned.
