Mascot Lucy actually stole the bacon Things aren’t looking good for “Team Mighty.” We arrived at Boston Common in all of our Saucony finest (despite the new city location Jeff “Downtown” Benanto was conspicuously absent) confident that we would steal the bacon and, more importantly, steal back our pride.

We had good reason to be optimistic: Newly-off-the-market Tim Whitman was on hand to make his “Mighty” debut, Maddy Shedno brought her fighting spirit (and Zazz refreshments) and we had a fan (former Schwartzer Nicole Huie) and a mascot (Lucy, who can rock an impromptu pet carrier like no other).

Still, it was not to be. We had some moments: In between waxing poetic about Tahiti’s sunsets Whitman made some great plays, Megan Prock and Zach Servideo, facing aggressive opponents, channeled their inner cave[wo]man to endure the pressure and Justin “I’ll advise you on your trip” Drake was clutch, continuing to play like Papi on steroids even after being dubbed the Mighty’s MVP.

Despite these triumphs, victory remained illusive and the Mighty were once again defeated. Here’s hoping that next game (which will see the return of the aforementioned Downtown Benanto, Nick “You’re a little pitchy, dawg” and, assuming things didn’t get messed up on his gmail calendar, Brian “I’m not sorry” Kramer) will be a better day for the Mighty.

we arrived early, determined to practice and get good and win tonights Skeeball challenge.

we also practiced looking tuff….. this is bout the best we could do.

from behind we looked much more menicing

and so we Ball’d (skeeballed)

no n, by all means you go first. that way i will now how many points we need to win.

having failed in skeeball we decided to make friends and eat chicken fried bacon.

have eaten some bacon and made some friends…… we tried to win the day by making everyone as cute as us.

as you can see, we ruled at cuteness.
