Last night was an indication of what 86th St can do when it has its starting five on the floor (oh ok, its starting three). For the first time in many many moons, MKRCHD (last nite CHDRMK) was able to join spotes and I. He really knows his stuff and specializes in current/recent baseball (Melky!!), golf, and lots of 'current sportscenter' news. If only the final Q
was Atlanta Braves jersey #s instead of Trailblazers
.
First round 30/30 (cept Mike, he went the other way on Jordan Eberle, spotes and i were hesitant and unsure about hockey)
Profiles 30/30
Almost got drawn in to a Jack Clark, but stuck with Stargell, and trying to put a career home run total Q past spotes is not gonna happen
Getting hockey past our expert spotes? hah! (definite sarcasm). Fairly fortunate, got to Esposito easy enough, and went with Blackhawks because of Tony E.
Rubio we were pre-calling the draft class as the and-1 and went back n forth 09 & 10, but quickly got correctly to 09
Box Score 49.6/50 (spotes 49.7, CHDRMK 49.6)
bled .1 on Pistons (why the hell all the B Knights! Our trivia-addled brains were filled with Brevon and original Brandon Knights for our slowness
)
bled .3 on Lidstrom, as GAVV board failed to take the L on first punch.
CHRDMK makes the call of the night with Melky, our letters were LB. Fortunate on Lidstrom that the K in Nicklas came up fast as we weren't sure. Everything else was pretty cake
Overtime 33.5/40 (spotes 34.5, CHRDMK 37 )
I missed 1995 for 3 (spotes 4) once again i was one year off misremembering Carolina
.
spotes and I missed 2007 , went all the way with 2006 for 1.5 CHDRMK stuck with his correct 07 the whole way.
1996 I got for 3/5. CHDRMK got for 4, he correctly got us there. I remembered MLS started as a requirement for the US
to have gotten the '94 world cup but wasn't thinking how much later it started.
btw, while spotes was on a smoke break pre-game btw (86th St now smoke free with the rest of Indy as of Jun 1), I semi-joked to Mike, 'I think we should hang a one-ninety on em'. Mainly joking since we never have this 'full crew' together.
Match Point 52/60 (spotes 54/60, CHDRMK 52/60)
first 4 perfect. And we note that questions 2 & 3 the answers were both 12345 which we don't ever remember happening even once. Got to the trailblazers Q. ouch. so close to 200. knew Walton, CHDRMK and I only get Lionel Hollins the rest of the way, spotes gets Lucas , but mixes up the final 2 players (jersey number # to spite spotes at the end!), to get his 198.2.
Overall a combination of our best lineup, and fortunate Qs that didn't go too far into left field. Usually one of those 'career rebound totals for this one random stiff of this group of 5' Profiles and-1 questions would get us. And we were dreading some kind of Belmont winner matched with jockey/trainer matching Q.
