Ok, so I missed the first week due to unexpected circumstances. I guess after all these years of no drinking, no smoking, and no fooling around with wild women, God decided to reward me by making me absent for what was the lowest point of Boston Blitz history… an O-pher on opening day. Of course, I did follow things from afar… and it did ruin a few of my days… but, this is neither here nor there. Who cares about my suffering? Let’s talk getting back on track as our Blitz heroes smashed their favorite opponent the Philadelphia Inventors, (2.5 – 1.5).
Usually I would back up that brash statement (smashed) with brilliant analysis and insightful commentary to convince our blog readers that the Blitz are back… but, in this case, it is a joke… and a bad joke at that…
This termite walks into a bar and asks…Where’s the bar tender?…ba da boom.
Alright!… we were lucky as heck; but, there were some bright spots.
Disclaimer: Due to the holiday weekend, I am unable to offer my usual full 4-game coverage. Also, since I was relayer on the critical game, board 2, IM Smith (PHI) – GM Perelshteyn (BOS), which went down to the wire and lasted late into the evening, I was unable to get a bird’s eye view of this match. In short, I am offering only one game’s worth of limited analysis… Denys, I’m sorry, but I chose your game. Why? I don’t know… third base.
Now, on to the action…
