So, you are kicking Bowser’s ass in one of the myriad Mario installments, and after doing sufficient damage, you think the battle is over…but he just gets angrier, breaks out more moves, and throws more chaos at you. Even when you FINALLY vanquish him…he is just back and badder than ever in the next iteration. Captain Bao Nguyen’s (NC-17) ‘Getting Piped By Bao-Ser’ namesake incarnation seem to be following in their favorite fanged foe’s footsteps, having saved seven giant fireballs for Brown in a HUGE 7-3 win, and turning a seven week struggle that looked to be leading to a regular season ‘GAME OVER’ into the very real possibility of an extra life…

Captain Byran Ossa’s ‘Dookey Kong’ were on the cut line ropes after a three game slide and a disappointing tie, but a one-two-three-four-five punch from Josh Wirt was the main event in an 8-5 slugfest decision over Red to bring them back to the playoff pack with the final bell just two rounds away…

Our Week Six Sunday fell on Fathers Day, and also the official first day of summer. In keeping with those two occasions, Captain Rob Gaudio’s ‘Red Joshi’ finally sired their first win of the summer season, upsetting a very strong Blue side 4-3 to keep jump back above the cut line and keep their playoff hopes simmering.

Captain William Teglia’s ‘Willuigis’ are doing their Nintendo namesake proud and turning L’s upside down. Their latest W also handed a (right-side-up) L to the only remaining undefeated team in the league in Captain Eli Schonbrun’s Blue. The win not only has them at the top of the standings at 4-1-0, but also makes them the first Summer League team to clinch a playoff spot.

If you aren’t familiar with the namesake for Captain Lena Amelang’s ‘Kirby Enthusiasm’, this cute little pink blob uses tremendous sucking power to inhale enemies (often inheriting any special powers they may possess). True to namesake form, after dropping their season opener to the only remaining undefeated team in the league (Blue), Pink have sucked up three straight wins, blowing through their first four games at a 3-1-0 pace that has them tickled to be toward the top of the table.
