In what was the most impressive bout of the season so far, the HellBombers manage to retain their undefeated reign by the narrowest of margins. This bout was one of the lowest scoring bouts that I have ever witnessed as the Bombers scored just three points over the Pinups 47-50. Turn Two was in total amazement, from beginning to end.

To start things off with the first jam, another first Stroker did not get lead jammer and score her usual 8-9 points. Instead Punk’d Pixie pulls lead jam and starts the day off with an 0-3 lead, as a matter-of-fact Pixie managed to score the first 25 points for the Pinups. The excitement never ceased, both teams were were laying it all out on the track. The defensive strategies played by both teams were some of the greatest I have seen, the tail block battles between CoCo, Soulie, Garguilo, and Boots were just down right brutal. Eva Lucien… Hell yeah, welcome back Lil Lady, you were on fire out there! This bout stayed so close the whole game, I was actually shocked at how close it stayed. After half-time I thought the Hellbombers would come out guns blazing and the Pinups would be too fatigued to hang in there. Fortunately, I was way wrong, watching the Pinups stifle jammers like Garguilo, and Stroker I was in awe. Now CoCo Sparx that is a different story, on three separate occasions CoCo Sparx out skated the lead jammer, and forced them to call the jam before it ever hit the pack. Who put the firecracker in CoCo’s ass, that girl was so fast that night. And Garguilo, watching you freak out for a point that you had already received was pretty damn funny, mostly because Scissor-Lick is so un-phased by you women that as a fan you just have to laugh!

Oddly enough I saw some very different player lineups from the Bombers, often seeing Destroya on the pivot line three times in a row. Pivots calling some sort of audible, didn’t seem to work for them, I would just go with what you know. With such as close game, every little mistake can be tragic. In one of the craziest moments Stroker Ace managed to have her jammer pantie inside out on her helmet, for three laps her team tried to get her to flip and she kept adjusting, but that net the Bombers 10 missed points. Stroker never looked so devastated on the bench. Unfortunately that is what happens when you wear the Knockers panties (that sounds dirty). I just want to say thank you to both teams for such an exciting (I lost my voice within the first 15 minutes) and well played game. All that excitement was quickly muffled by the last jam, Boots vs. CoCo Boots seemed to break through the pack first but was just short of the 25 foot rule, as the Bombers managed to get her back towards the pack, CoCo broke out as lead jammer and quickly called the jam.

What a great time this was! I decided to make one of my favorite appetizer Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts. I ended up making 180 of those little bastards; I think they were all gone in about an hour! It is always good to see everyone. For the first few hours, I jumped around saying hi to so many people whom I’ve come to love, I could not believe how fast the time had went! But down to business; the whole reason we were there was to announce the results of the draft! The fresh meat was brought to the center floor with their mustaches looking better than anything I could ever grow(and I’m almost 30)! So basically the draft went down this:

Cleveland Steamers:

Killustrator (transfer skater from Leheigh Valley, also now on the All-Star team)

Electra Mayhem (transfer skater from Green Mountain Derby Dames in Vermont)

Take-out

Bamm B Hunt-her

Holly Huntress

Rainbow Fright

Death Proof

Rolling Pin-Ups:

Paddie Whacked

Lebrawl James

X-TRON-X

Hard Knockers:

Syren Van Dahl

Finnish-Her

Sergeant Fractal

Gorgon Girl

HellBombers:

Chelle Shock

Olive Bruises

Buggie Smalls

Delilah Dartmount

Of course the biggest draft announcement was Professor Booty, who was a free agent is now a member of the Rolling Pin-Ups! This is huge for the Pin-Ups, this puts them in a postion where the 2009 Hazard Cup is in they’re reach.  Another huge announcement was the tragic loss of the Steamer’s Pain Austen, who is going to be dearly missed. Pain Austen “The Mayor of Painesville” has went “ALL IN” in a game of “No Limit D.C. Hold em” and we’re hoping she has a full house “Queens over Aces”; we love you to death Pain!

So after the tears, hugs, and smack talking (mostly by me). The party ended with some beach ball hacky sack. I was glad to get to see everyone, hear how people are feeling about the ’09 season, and just get to talk derby with everyone! Thanks for a wonderful evening!
