The Slog Begging Teams to Beat Easy Town
What makes a 10-game winning streak "bad"? Well, for the red-hot The Slog Ghouls, winners of 10-straight, having your league rival keep winning can do that.
While the Ghouls have gone 10-0 in their last 10, raising their record tto 46-33, the Easy Town Assaultrons are on an eight-game winning streak, helping them to maintain a 2.5-game lead on The Slog.
"We really need somebody to beat those dudes [Easy Town]," Ghouls 3B Zap Mast said. "That would be great."
It may be a ways off, but the two teams meet at Easy Town Field in 11 days. Winning streaks may not remain, but the chance that both teams are still atop the standings is likely. Only Malden and Nahant are above .500, and the Celtics are currently moving in the opposite direction, losing their last six.
"I don't know what it is about [the Assaultrons," The Slog SP Flirt Perez said, "but I hate them. Can they just lose the rest of their games, please?"
Perez faced off with the Trons on May 4, an 8-2 Ghouls win.
It appears a rivalry has brewed in the Brotherhood League! Historically, the Assaultrons have not been successful. Their sole BL title came in 2307. The Trons appeared in the Sole Survivor Series twice (2298, 2316), both times as runners-up in the BL. The Slog has also only won one BL title since the full CBO began, 2314; they won the BL and the Sole Survivor Series in 2297 when the leagues worked as separate entities. The 2314 league title led to the Ghouls' sole official Sole Survivor Series championship, a 4-1 win over current defending champions, Quincy.
