Today's Action: Day 12 Results!
Game 1:
Toss It (Jean/Mike B) vs. Tres Huevos (Jance/Clemens)
Would someone please wake up Clemmy!
The man looked downright sleepy out there today and unfortunately, it was elimination day. I wish I had something more exciting to write, but this one was over right after it started. Toss It blew out to a quick 7-1 lead and the game didn't get much closer. The Huevos nearly pulled into spitting distance at one point, but it was short lived. Toss It had it and Tres Huevos didn't.

Game 2:
Toss It (Jean/Mike B) vs. The Dooze (Jonny/Blaise)
In reference to Jonny's pants:
Rally Chimp: "Are those the pants of a champion?"
Jonny: "They're better than Kirk's!"
Joel: "He's right!"
Ok, onto the action.
If we had a radar gun, we would have been able to quantify how much faster this game was played over any other in the history of the tournament. I'm not saying that the game was over quickly. I'm saying that the ball was moving! Every shot was hit hard and fast and on the table. It was also the most athletic game I've seen. Everyone was everywhere on the court! Lots of movement, lots of speed, lots of excitement. I'd say that the action was fast and furious, but that phrase has been co-opted by Hollywood and I just won't use it. Unless Paul Walker was playing, which he wasn't. Or if Jessica Alba asked me to, which she didn't.
About halfway through this game, and it was subtle enough that you may have missed it, Jeremie and Ralves saved many lives. The game was so intense and so pressure-packed that people were starting to have physiological trouble. Mel sat next to me and was starting to look like a fish out of water, gasping for air, Steven Q wadded his shirt in his hands like his bowels were obstructed, JBrown was frantically rummaging through his pants pockets for his heart pills, and miles away, as he was recuperating, Kane's ankle inexplicably swelled up to the size of a ripe melon. Just when it looked like all was lost, Jeremie and Ralves succumbed to gravity and almost wound up on their rears as Court #2 miraculously slid out from under them. The screech of metal on pavement was nasty enough that the crowd was temporarily distracted enough for five or six points to go by unnoticed, allowing their bodies to normalize. Hooray! The game continued its frenzied pace through to the end, safely and without the need for paramedics (Sorry, Heather).
Great times.

Clemmy.
Just like any good Dodgers fan to leave before the game is even over...
