As Red Sox Nation moves slowly towards accepting a loss that no one besides the manager deserved, we wake up this morning one week away from the Eighth Halloween Foosball Tournament. As reported yesterday, the tournament's official starting time has been set at around 3:00. New reports is that Jim wants to hold an opening ceremonies, ala the Olympics. While it won't be as extravagant as the one in Athens next summer...reportedly fire will be involved.
Steve wants to change the format of the Halloween Foosball Tournament. Instead of playing foosball, baseball, football, or any other sport, everyone just sits at the computer and plays solitaire. Oh dis. And there'll be a special race of the IM. OH DIS.
The NFL Drafters were very saddened by the news that their official hockey supplier is closing. Decathlon, located in the worst town in Massachusetts, Chelmsford, is holding a closing sale now. The Drafters will purchase some hockey equipment as well as perhaps some stuff for the HFT. A Hockey Game is on the agenda for next Saturday, but its not 100% certain it will happen.
Wilson Rith is planning on trying to get to the HFT late by taking the 6:00 train from North Station. Although it would fly in the face of prior practice, Jim is considering reserving Wilson's spot in the tournament even before he officially arrives. Jim would need confirmation that he was on the train and on his way back to Lowell, at around 6 when the Tournament is probably about to start. Wilson is expected to miss the Football and Softball games however.
Go Marlins. Fish in Four.
