Row Rolls On
Petty Theft Row, untamed. That's the headline after a Saturday sweep that saw the Row vanquish both @The Goodfellas II and @The Lobsters, staking a claim near the top of the Fall Manhattan standings. Two wins. Zero losses this week. Not bad for a day's work.
First up, it was a commanding 13-1 victory over @The Goodfellas II. A statement win if there ever was one, a comfortable margin that suggests Petty Theft Row came ready to play. Then, with barely enough time to catch our breath, the Row battled @The Lobsters, emerging with an 8-6 win. Closer than the first game, sure, but a W is a W.
Across the league, the plot thickened. @PlatanoPower continued their dominant run, notching two more wins to remain undefeated. First, they edged out @The Traffic 7-4, then followed up with a 12-4 victory over @The Goodfellas II. @The Warriors also had a strong showing, dispatching @Perfect Perfects 10-1. Meanwhile, @The Traffic bounced back from their loss against @PlatanoPower, securing a 14-5 win against @The Dirty Water Dawgs. And speaking of the Dawgs, they managed to claw back a little pride, overcoming @Perfect Perfects 12-4. Poor @Perfect Perfects: still searching for that elusive first win.
As it stands, @PlatanoPower sits atop the standings at 4-0-1, just a hair ahead of the Row's 3-0-1 record. @The Warriors aren't far behind at 3-1, while @The Dirty Water Dawgs and @The Traffic are knotted up at 2-2. At the other end of the spectrum, @Perfect Perfects are still looking for their first victory of the season, standing at 0-4. Remember, Petty Theft Row kicked off the season with a tie against @PlatanoPower and a win against @The Dirty Water Dawgs — results that look pretty good in retrospect. This week's results put Petty Theft Row in second place in the league standings, just behind @PlatanoPower.
Looking ahead, Petty Theft Row has a double-header next week against @The Warriors and @Perfect Perfects. A chance to keep the momentum rolling, or a potential trap game situation? Only time will tell. One thing's for sure: with @The Warriors nipping at our heels in the standings, that first game next Saturday could be a pivotal one. Time to lace up those cleats and get back to work.
