Good game Matt. It is a big win for Left Jab after losing a squeaker in week one. A win anytime against Matt and his Bald Beavers is a nice feather in the cap. I just hope that I can stay competitive throughout. On to week 3.

Wow, your Jabs were pretty rough on the Beavers.

Nice win, LL

Minor oops!!!

Fixed.

I didn't think at anypoint I would be 2-0 with my Fly's at 5-3. Of course my LW's going 8-0 has helped.

Thanks, we'll see how my guys hold up as the league progresses and everyone starts moving into the pre-prime/prime stages. Many tough fights ahead.

Congrats to all this weeks winners...and we move along to the next.

While I certainly hope so,I dont think that anything is a sure bet in this league. In looking at all the teams it seems that some will just match up better against certain teams. I think our match should be a good one and while I am hoping to win,it is by no means a sure thing. I will be very surprised if it doesnt come down to 2-3 points in our matchup. I simmed it 3 times and the record was 1-1-1..LOL. Seriously. One match you won by 5 pts,we were even in sim number 2 and number 3 I eeked out a 2 point win. So..who knows?? LOL. You definitely have a scrappy group and I think you will be in every match. Take care and good luck(after this week of course

Thanks Matt,I know your guys will bounce back and you will be in the mix. I tell ya the top 4-5 teams really look good but it is only 2 weeks and I think some teams just have some favorable matchups. It may take a few weeks to sort out the contenders from the pretenders. Just hope I am competitive and I will be happy! Take care and good luck.

I'd like to invite everyone onto the "wow Thomas Damgaard doesn't suck" bandwagon before all the places are gone.

[SAL]

I've sent the bout logs and the database update out to Romy.

I'll start week 3 tomorrow night if there are no objections.

Also, I'll post the fighters that will be in the waiver pool (courtesy of vistaman44) sometime today/tonight. These fighters will be in your database update under the waiver pool group if you get the db update before I post the list.

Infer from that what you will.

Diggstown v. Tomato City in Week 3 . . the Battle of I-91?

It probably sounds more impressive to those who have never actually seen I-91, but I'm going with it

Now he's performing. A tad to late if you ask me. This makes me look like a fool

New Haven (Tomato City) is only about 35 miles south of Hartford (Diggstown Ringers) via I-91. For what it's worth, I-91 is a walk in the park compared to the traffic on I-95 southbound from New Haven towards New York.

I fully expect my team to be thoroughly smashed and embarrassed against the Ringers. My guys are very chinny in "Beginning" stage. In the few sims that I have run, I'm averaging about 10-15 KO losses with usually about 5 ending in 1st round KO.

I predict that the Diggstown Ringers will smash the all-time points record and that it will stand for quite a while.

I just hope that my team improves once the guys age a bit.

My mom hailed from Connecticut. She was born in a village called Tariffville. A very old Gazeteer (1966) associated it with a place called Simsbury on the Farmington River 10 miles NW of Hartford. Has Hartford expanded sufficiently in the last 40 years to have swallowed up both of these locales?

Not at all, Simsbury is a somewhat swanky suburb sufficiently far from Hartford that I doubt it will be encompassed by it any time soon.

I am quite sketchy on the details, but a number of municipalities that had no functioning government and had been defacto wards of larger entities for a while were swept from the state's official records in the eighties.

The only reason that I have a vague half-assed memory of that is because I am from Gilead, CT which no longer exists. After 50 plus years of being a ward of Hebron, the arrangement was made official in the late 70s or early 80's.

Our old Gilead town hall has been a personal residence since the sixties. When it happened, my grandfather refused to write 'Hebron' as his address. The Hebron Post Master would always hand-cross out Gilead from his mail and write "Hebron". As the years passed, it became "Hebron!!" with very deep indentations from the pen he was using.

I've got the free agent fighter list (courtesy of vistaman44) added to the free agent pool post now. Use the link in my sig. or it's on the first page. The waiver ranks are based on the teams records as of now. They will change by week 5.
