G&G Peoples,

Somehow it is already our last week of regular season games, and it's another double-header in Silver Spring! We already have 9 people signed up, so it's "way on" as the G&G elders say. I'm not sure who we're playing, but I'm sure many of them will try hard.

Since it's our last weekend and the weather looks beautiful (just guessing, haven't checked at all), I'm hoping a few more people will find some leftover beating piece of their charcoal hearts to show up and support this storied team. 

See y'all out there with a light, dark, water, and beer!

tl;dr
Start Times: 10am & 12pm
Field Address: Francis Scott Key Middle School, 910 Schindler Dr, Silver Spring, MD 20903
Carpooling: Cole I need a ride

xoxo,
Radio

These are the last two games of the season before we really turn up for the playoffs. Last week Cole helped set Graham up with a tuxedo fitting, and I don't think I'm being too forward here to say that he will do the same for anyone else who needs it.

Whoo hoo!! I’ll be there this weekend. For some reason it wasn’t letting me mark my attendance online

Graham let us know how the fitting went, I assume you'll bring it to the fields for a "walk the endzone" 

Mike, given the Parker-Ivey household's rather... relative construct of time, I'll pick you up at 915 AM EST. I'll bring spiked seltzers in the hope that it encourages more subs, I don't think I can handle 2 capped games with 10 total players again.

Can't wait!

I'm excited about not being excited on fields in Maryland this weekend. I'm coming for both games, but I'll be late to the first (or not, given frisbee time).

Erik, are you crazy?! You're closer to 50 than 25. You've got a daughter! Think of Emma before you do this!

I'm still closer to 25 than 50, so I'll bring some tecates.

Tom that’s exactly right. I’ll be late because I need to take my family to the farmers market beforehand, because I am a family man first and foremost. 

But I still have an enormous amount of self-loathing that drives me to constantly prove myself against ever-declining competition. See you all Saturday!

I’ll be there Saturday for both games! If anyone is driving from dupont / NW let me know as I’d like to drink some tecates…. Otherwise I can drive 🙁

Putting Auri down now. We’ll head out after her nap, hopefully making some of the first game.

Don’t worry everyone, we didn’t let bmarsh put Auri down - she’s alive and well.

Thanks for coming out today for our last regular season games, always nice to have subs and finish 2-0! 

Up next is the tournament, which I’m being told will be either the weekend of November 6th or 13th. I’ll keep everyone posted as I hear more from the not-so-much-powers that be.

Xoxo,

Mike, you left out an important detail. After the game, as we were taking off our cleats and marveling at the beautiful babies, we overheard someone on the other team say, “this extends my WAFC losing streak to nine games.” We have put an indelible mark of shame on someone else. THIS IS WHY WE PLAY.

No games this weekend. Reg season ended last weekend. End of season tourney is either 11/6-11/7 or 11/13-11/14.

Looks like pool play is set for this coming saturday? Does that mean that Day 2 will be on Sunday, or the following weekend?

Games are at 10, 12, and 2 at the Polo Fields. RSVP if you can make it. Iris, Jorve, this is when we need you. Please disappoint us in the most wonderful way possible.

Don't take this lightly. 

The WAFC gods have given you all not one, but three opportunities to bail, go to brunch instead, and live a truly nice injury free life. 

Don't squander this opportunity. The local economy needs you more than 9-losing streak try-hards need your effort. 

Best of luck this weekend!

Friends, don't listen to Tom. It will be a beautiful fall day made all the more beautiful by dashed dreams of other teams. Unfortunately, I can't make the games this week. 

Make us proud, or if that is too strong of a word, then try to make us less ashamed.

Hey, how are we doing on numbers? Attendance is looking pretty grim in the WAFC site but have no idea if that actually reflects reality. Should we bring friends to play?

I believe that JD and her bf, Cam, are also playing on Saturday, so we can add one woman and one man to our totals. Mike, what are your thoughts?

We are sitting at 9 for 3 games. I believe Jessie is bringing her BF and she hasn’t marked her own attendance yet (shame!) so that puts us at 11. Molly I know you can’t officially rsvp, but can you make it?

The games are at the polo fields, so it’s way more convenient than fairfax for everyone on the team - no excuses! 

Bmarsh, Jon, any other folks on roster that haven’t replied yet - do the thing 

If by the end of the day we’re still so sparse, let’s extend some invites to our friends. The good thing is that we’re lady rich - so we can do lots of 4-3 and some 3-4!

Cheers,
Radio

HAHA, Kk I marked my attendance and yes Cam is planning on coming too (some of you should already know him). Would love more people because my legs are not currently in a three-straight-games kinda place.

CAM Daddy! 

Colleen is also planning to attend, though we probably won't make it until the noon game.

So that puts us at 13 (6 men, 7 women) for all three games, and a smattering of Katra (1st game and some change), & Bmarsh / Colleen (2nd two games).

How do people feel about that? Should we tap into the deeper reserves? This is typically a non to anti-democratic organization, but just this once…

Hi Team,
My better half is out of the country but fortunately the grandparents are in town to watch the little one, so I will be in attendance!

I think we can safely say we have plenty of women to consistently play 4-3 but might be tough for the 6 apathetic men showing up to the games. I defer to their preference or whatever.

Cranston and Hannah are in for the noon and maybe 2PM games. I know we weren't looking for another woman, but it was a package deal. I communicated our anticipated attendance to level set expectations for her PT, prioritizing those on the team.

Happy to bring my boyfriend for a game or two if that would be helpful. He uhh actually likes frisbee so might not be a good fit for team culture.

Ya I’ve played with him before Krista and that’s a big red flag. But if he brings a case of beer and doesn’t fuck up too much, I guess it’s okay.

I am pleased to inform everyone that while our bodies are broken, we did not break. 3-0 babies. 

That means we have games next Saturday, hopefully later as I’m looking into the 1st seed bye situation.
