Last night was proof that it's anyone's game this season as the undefeated Eastern Bloc and second place Stonewall took a tumble by losing both of their matches. This was just the thing Gym Bar needed to take over the score board and come out on top. All of the top teams are currently tied for winning 6 matches, but it's the games that count! At this stage in the game, Gym Bar has a good lead on it's competition, Eastern Bloc, Pieces, Bamboo 52, and Carraway & Sciacca, who are all neck and neck for first. See for yourself here.
That being said, we think the teams have finally decided to bring their A -Game and try to win. We saw several underdog teams finally start stepping up to the plate, making it a VERY interesting season. Also making it more interesting is some of the team flair on the court. We don't know how Gym Bar does it, but they play in wigs. Yes, we never thought it would come to this, but if Kelly can still throw hard and look fierce doing it, hats off to him!
Last season it was socks, this season headware seem to be the team flair to wear. We saw pink banadanas on Carraway & Sciacca, blue bandanas on Pieces, "Angry Beaver" headbands on Henrietta Hudson's (how terribly ironic), bedazzled white karate headbands on Eastern Bloc, smiley face headbands (how very Watchmen) on G Lounge, dark hats on Besspots, and yellow do-rags on the Boy Butter team (cheers for making gay look so thug).
We will give props where props are deserved and give a shout out to the Eagle team who managed to have their shirts altered in different designs using small metal holes. Everyone's shirt is different, and we could see them totally wearing them out after. Also Pets at Play did some altering to their shirts, with interesting results. Adding a little color to white shirts definitely helped.
After the games people headed uptown to Splash Bar for some two for one drinks after party fun, only to realize it was Musical Mondays. It definitely made for a different kind of post play afterparty. When we saw Sergio and some newbies singing along at the tops of their lungs, we were happy to see there were some dodgeballers who were secretly theater queens in the league. All in all it was a nice change of pace. We are sure the after after party at Woof! was a little bit more of our pace, but as you know a change will do you good. xoxo
