Big TRD match between Vice Squad and Iron Curtain today. Interestingly, Furious Truckstop Waitresses standout Jezebelle Jonez will be playing for absence and injury plagued Iron Curtain. Jezebelle and Berlin Wall on the same team? How the heck will that work out?

I think Jezebelle told me that her nom de guerre (nom de skate?) will be Fire Belle. I don't think that the name is sufficiently communist. Jez is just too much of a capitalist tool to come up with one, I guess.

The doors open up at Bladeworld (1065 W Grant, just East of I-10) at 6:30. The match is expected to get underway at 7:20. Bring the kids, it's always good, clean fun for the whole family.

Also remember that next week will be a contest between the Saddletramps and the Tent City Terrors of the Phoenix-based AzRD. Both teams are all-star "travel squads" for both leagues.

Last year, the Phoenix teams were much better than the Tucson teams, but they have had trouble with infighting and rival leagues being formed. Back on May 21, the Vice Squad crushed the Surly Gurlies of the AzRD 104 to 43. The Gurlies were outclassed at every turn. So, I expect this to be a blow out. Unless Ditka is playing.


There was an article in Friday's Tucson Citizen on the league. Heck, why wasn't it in the sports section? They sports section featured a story on a basketball camp for ten year olds, but no room for Derby? What is that about?


Today is former Everton, Columbus Crew and Górniku Zabrze midfielder Robert Warzycha's first game as coach of the Columbus Crew. The game is against Chicago, so the league's press office headlined it: "Baptism at Fire." Wow, these guys are clever.

Now that they have hired Warzycha, he joins Piotr Nowak as one of two Polish coaches in the league. Given how many foreign coaches work in Poland, this may be more than in the Polish first division. His hiring even made news in Poland. Now, the league needs to find jobs for Jerzy Podbrożny, Roman Kosecki and former Rev Janusz Michallik.

(Note: Podbrożny used to play for Widzew Łódź. I really have no reason to mention that, I just wanted to see if those fancy diacritic marks would show up.)

I never thought that Warzycha looked physically strong, but I always had the impression that if you got into a fight with him he would kick your ass because he is a wiry guy that just would care if he gets hurt, as long as you get hurt more.


The thing that all of you need to realize, the Poles have infiltrated everything. Lou Dobbs and Tomás Tancredo are worried about a Hispanic takeover. I am obviously going to be one of the few demographically prepared for this eventuality.



Do zobaczenia Robert i Piotr. Hasta la proxima Lou and Tom.
