The drama begins with each new CBL season, and Round 1, Game 1 kicked off like the opener to Game of Thrones. Five minutes before the first ball was even rolled tension was unbelievable high as the House of Missin faced off against the The King of the Iron Throne Jim Woodcock. We all knew just as Winter (Winner) is Coming, this epic battle was inevitable. Running past regulation time, The Lovely Lynne with stalwarts Chris Cattich, Leslie deGiere and the recently arrived Carol Lingo, truly a Priestess of the Roll, bravely, but barely defeated Jim with his new King Slayers Jamie Milliner and Joe Hunter and the female knight Brienne of Tarth disguised as Deborah Garcia. Final score Girls with Ball 12, Funky Cold Pollinas 11.
New Captain Carla and her Easy Rollers, Ted Lusher, Susan Chaney and Moisha Smith may have spent a little too much time laying in the pleasure palaces of LittleFinger. Surprised by the relentless attack of Dragon Ballz Leader Conor (Danerys) Pullman and Clay Lingo, Jim Leon and Sand Snake Taylor Missin, the Dragons burned the Easy Rollers to crispy 12-3.
Our night’s final battle was waged between two new Captains who each hope to sit on the Iron Throne this season. New Captain Barb Kutschinski has risen through hard effort to lead Michelle Smith, Nate Castillo and Jill Milliner to glory, but alas, despite impressive skills displayed by newcomers Jill & Nate and the uncanny accuracy of seasoned pro Michelle, Captain Bobby Corso with his band of wily pirates Rupert, Jack and Chris used the darkening evening to their advantage and barely escaped across the Narrows with the treasure. East Coast Cosmos 13, A Bocce Problem 11.

Alderete`s will bring fried rice and bubbles…:)
Just a note to the East Coast Cosmos. I, Rupert of Haberdashery fame have received a collection of tattersall blue and black checked shirts together for our team picture. While resembling each other they are not identical and will do for a team photo. They range from size L to XL for we more rotund players, meaning me. They vary from blue check to black checks and will look apropos as if we were strolling through campus in Cambridge.
I shall also volunteer to bring the Pina Coladas for the party including the rum! Har! har! there me mateys.
Stay sharp Cosmos, as we are facing a contender this week. We were lucky to slip by a weaker team two weeks ago.
The Smiths will bring potstickers.
