Come share the adventure of summer life in Chicago as a young man living in Chi-town working for a gaming manufacturer and playing in the MLL.
Squaring off against my old team, the Rochester Rattlers, on Sunday for our last game of the season. It's going to be a pretty tough game, they have an unbelievable squad of great players. I know, I played with them all last year. I'm interested to see who they decide to play this game knowing that they already clinched a spot in the playoffs. A little note, during playoffs teams are allowed to dress 20 guys as opposed to the regular 18. That being said, I remember be sat last year for the final game after we made the playoffs because they said the game didnt matter and they wanted to try out some other guys to see who they would put as the extra +2 guys on the dress list during the playoffs. I'm not gonna lie, it really makes no difference having those extra two guys. The 6,7th midfielders in the 18 man lineup dont play alot as it is anyway, (they'll maybe have 1 offensive run a quarter and play a wing everynow and then) so wasting time trying to pick the right 8th and 9th midfielder is exactly that......a waste of time.
Got a good feeling about this weekend, we are flying in all the guys for this game, so the sidelines should have a lot of enthusiasm and a great group of motivators. There is definitely going to be a good atmosphere, especially at the last game at home.
On the flip side of things, with all the guys flying in, it will be interesting who we also choose to dress knowing that we wont be making playoffs this year. Do you be fair to guys that have traveled and not dressed that much and give them a run during the final game? Or do you dress some guys that you want to get a better look at in a real game for next season? Or do you stick with the normal lineup?
Obviously I have my own opinions, (which I will not be sharing).
In other news, we recently picked up my college teammate David Mitchell from San Francisco. It would be great if we dressed him this weekend having Mitchell, Pittard, and Myself out there like the good ole days our senior year at Cornell in 2007.
