How It All Went Down

the teams weren't fairly matched. eveyone on henriatta's sux. but u have stacked teams like rockbar
I think the teams were more fair than previous seasons. Did anyone else see one of the refs totally go loco on the black team last night? I have never seen a ref yell at players.
The real question is why did Cubbyhole, oh excuse me, Eduardo's team, get the better end of the schedule. All of thier games were in the middle while everyone else had to play early or late or, in some cases, play an early match and then a latter one.
NO,REALLY!!!! MAYBE ITS BECAUSE SOME JERK ON OASIS WENT NUTS ON ONE OF THE REFS> WHY DONT U TRY REFFING AND SEE HOW EASY IT IS.
The refs were getting shit on last night. Tensions were running HIGH, oh boy, seeing Sam scream at Chance was priceless. Sure shut him up.
The Eagle team is not a mess. Chance was actually in the right because:
A) Sam is not a great ref
B) Bonobos is a bunch of cry babies
C) A shitty call was made and all he was doing was defending himself.
Sorry but Eagle should have won the game, but because of bad calls they got the shaft.
I hate to say it but this is one of the first gg comments that I agree with. Bonobos has to be the bitchiest and fakest team this season, with the exception of Mike Mez. (we love u!!!)
I find it suspect that they start up some shit last night w/ oasis and then turn to eagle. now they try to blame them on gg but make friends w/ thm at the same time. Grw the fuck up.
Oasis was out of line last night. You all are so shady, the players on Bonobos do so much for the league. But typical of the selfish people in this league always hating on everyone else b/c they are jealous.
Chance may bitch a lot, but let's be honest, no one complains more than dom and brian. Dom has pulled the same shit in multiple weeks. He LOVES to bring the game to a halt while crying about some shit he's decided to make up.
It is pathetic and we all knw who wrote it: Dom, Brian B. or Seth L.
I prefer to say 'big-boned.'
Sorry kids, wasn't me! Guess it'll have to be the other scapegoat this time.
Maybe if the afterparties weren't so boring and more people got laid there wouldn't be so much on court nastiness, especially from the middle ranked teams.
The cutest newbies are probably gonna leave the league with their shell-textured cherries intact.
To comment or not to comment; what a load of crap to think that I am going to get into a name calling war on gossip gays and still be Anonymous. If I have something to say I will obviously say it to your face! If the author of these posts would like to leave their names I could probably find some back-handed comment to respond with...And I really doubt it was BBahr or Seth!
I will apologize for being loud on the court, but I will not apologize for standing up to players who refuse to leave after getting hit with the ball and/or argue a controversial call by a ref. I also know when we have been outplayed and have no issues congratulating the other team for a job well done. If this makes me "fake" then ya'll really do not know me ...And please tell me those fake ways!
On a final note; it’s typically this time in the season where tempers are high, bring it to the tournament! ...and let's play fair, if your hit with the ball, go out. I may be loud, but Honesty goes a long way!
The Ref's are absolutely horrible. Gets worse and worse every year. I would say the refs at the near court were the worst.
trying reffing? it isn't rocket science. It was a pathetic showing on monday and for entire season.
I am going to go against the grain on this one and say I think this season's refs are better than seasons past. Anyone remember flower hippy girl?

TEAMS HENRIETTA HUDSON BEAT:
UC LOUNGE
RF LOUNGE
AMERICAN APPAREL
BOY BUTTER
TEAMS HENRIETTA HUDSON HAD TO PLAY TWICE:
PENELOPE (1st place)
OASIS (who they will be playing a 3rd time in tournament and if they win has to go onto play Cubbyhole)
EAGLE
SO YES GG Hens couldn't catch a break and no the players did not suck! The matches were hardly shut outs. Every team had to fight to beat them.
You don't lose matches based on one or two bad calls. You lose matches because you aren't dodging, throwing, and catching better than the other team. Is it that hard to understand? Oasis gets a bad rap because they have one Jolly Queen Giant who is a jerk, and it gives the rest of them a bad name.
Too bad everyone remembers Chance getting yelled at rather than him catching a ball in each hand while diving to the ground.
I watched the Bonobos/Eagle game and it was very, very clear that both Chance and Matt got hit with the ball. In fact, it bounced between them a few times. The refs may not have called it but they both knew they were out. Both teams were loud but Chance was shouting how proud he was that he may have gotten hit but he won't go out unless the refs call him out. Perhaps that's what most people think - but honestly if you get hit just go out.
The refs simply need to be quick, clear and confident with their calls and I think that will mitigate much of this drama.
Um, EXCUSE ME Kurt? I most definitely wasn't shouting about how proud I was about anything. If a ball hits me and I'm sure it hasn't hit the ground or wall yet I go off. The ball that hit me in the third game after it hit matt(?) I wasn't sure if it hit the ground first, so without the refs calling me out, I didn't go off. I don't give a fuck how loud the other team yells, if I'm not sure a ball hit me while it's live I'm not gonna go off unless called out by a ref. If you're talking about the end of the second game that was Eric and Matt, and the ball didn't hit Matt after it hit Eric (I was standing where it could be seen, where as Matt was between Eric and the players on Bonobos). So please shut the fuck up and stop making shit up.
How bout those Penelope's, huh!!! Well done.
Wow. This league hit its peak four seasons ago. Kind of sad now.
I feel like we have this same ref argument every season. I have played in other leagues where the "shagging" team acts as a 3rd pair of eyes. They aren't given authority to call people out, but are looked upon as a resource to help with overlooked calls:
Player A hits Player B
Ref doesn't see Player B get hit
Player B stays on the court
Player A argues the call
Ref defers to shaggers
Since all teams shag at some point, I think this could be a fair compromise. I think the refs are doing a fantastic job with what they are given. I am of the mindset that, like all sports, some calls go your way and others don't, but everything washes in the end.
Totally agree with Anon 5:25.
Shaggers should definitely be used as line judges and a 2nd set of eyes for refs to defer to when they simply didn't see it/can't make the call/the player is being shady.
With 4 balls on the court, there is no way 2 sets of eyes can keep track of all of them at the same time...
Board...get on this...
This has been recommended to the board. This is what the volleyball league does. It works great. The shagging team can see when someone steps out more clearly, too.
I think as long as the shaggers aren't allowed to call people out, then this could be a great idea. Otherwise, it could be a disaster.
Also ... good job, Penelope. You guys are a classy bunch.

Are u joking???????!!!!!!!!!????????
Those teams are mediocre. So you beat boy butter and rf lounge. Oh, wooooow what an accomplishment.
you're only sticking ur foot in ur mouth.which is apparently the only thing uve been getting in ur mouth!
HEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!
So my two cents... the arguing between both teams was kind of ridiculous. If any of us have played other organized sports, you know you're not going to let the opposing team call you out... EVER! Furthermore, to point fingers at another team for cheating when several of your team members cheat on a regular basis is kind of silly. As most of you know I am far, I will call out my own players just as quickly as I call out the next guys, but if I didn't see it I'm not going to tell them they should get off because the other team says so. BTW, kudos to John for calling himself out on that last game even though everyone else swore he was safe.
In my opinion, leave your shit on the court. All this "you cheated" "the refs suck" shit is B.S. and we really need to act like adults. The refs do the best they can and if you think you can do better than become a ref. If not, shut the hell up.
Oh and fyi, I think someone else had that same idea of line judge last season, I wonder what happened...
Let's not be coy, what happened is they got told they weren't worth their opinion and were easily replaceable and went and played volleyball instead.
He played football instead actually...
speaking of that, are we going to hve elections or no?
Ummmmmm
Yea this shit is awesome!!!!
Get it KWEEEEENNNSSSSS
"The refs do the best they can and if you think you can do better than become a ref."
1. Here's a simple notion, Do better. We pay them to.
2. I'd rather play, duh.
