2012 Schedule has arrived

What a lovely morning this is – we just finished scheduling our 2012 season!  And hard as it might be to believe, our offseason is just about over.  With global warming climate change  a bunch of bogus liberal hippy science turning DC into a sauna even earlier than usual, I figure we might as well take advantage of the nice weather.  We embark upon our heroic 2012 campaign against the first of two teams named “Sons of Pitches” on Tuesday, May 8, two weeks from this coming Tuesday.  I want to encourage everyone to come out, whether as a player or cheerleader, to give our season the strong start it deserves. 

Some other schedule highlights include: renewing rivalries against the likes of the Muckrakers in our second game of the season, The Freedom Ticklers at about the halfway point, and the Non-Pros, longtime foes of the ACLU (but not so much the FOEs), who we missed playing last year.  On June 19, we play against my favorite opponents, a team we played to the most epic tie in CSL history last season, the Republican National Committee.  And on June 14, we will play in a war for the ages, the Battle of the Amendments, as we take on the 10th Amendments (National Conference of State Legislatures).  Then we have plenty of games against naïve teams who have yet to feel the wrath of a First Effing Domination.  The full schedule is posted at the bottom of this email.  Most of our games are on Tuesdays, with a few Thursday games and one on a Wednesday.  There are 5 weeks in which we’ve got 2 games, for a total of 23 games (three more than last year).

Now for some minor business; let me know if you want a jersey.  Our logo this season comes from renown fashion designer Patrick “Pickypants” Connors; just fyi, the shirts aren’t exactly censored.  Also, please come find me to pay your team fee ($20 for the regulars, $10 for part-timers), which covers our registration and insurance.  And, this is very important: I need hydration sponsors for the season.  Unfortunately miller lite dropped its sponsorship of the league.  We need one person per game, and I only ask each person to do it once throughout the season.  It’ll run about $35 per game – please let me know if you’d like to volunteer.

So, come on out and join the fun this season. 

Effing A,

Mike
