It started at 11 a.m with the legend and MR. T as in Tom Barrack of Piocho Ranch vs. Long Beach/Klentner. It was a rough game and the pedal was to the medal. Memo and Mikee as in Azzaro have always had plenty of battles with and against each other. It was more of the same as Mike Azzaro drew 1st blood, but it was Memo Gracida at the end of 1 by 1. At the end of chukker 2 it was by 2. Big T lit up the field with tough defense and the Redhead (Kris Kampsen) was smokin’. In the early part of the 3rd Mike Azzaro was hauling you know what to goal. It was Memo Gracida doing an emergency dismount to save a goal trying to hook him at the goal line and he probably will not try this again soon as I am sure he is not in a jogging mood tonight. He is tough and took 15 and headed back to the field. By the way Mike Azzaro missed the goal, but kept the heat on. Azzaro tied it up for a bit in the 4th, but then the flow of a red and white machine began to turn on and it was adios amigos as the San Ynez cowboys of Piocho Ranch and trail boss Tom Barrack headed back to the valley with silver on their plate. Piocho Rancho goes to 2 & 0 + 7 and Long Beach/Klentner goes to 1 & 1 – 3
At 1 p.m it was ERG/Grant’s Farm vs. Gehache. It took a while as Grant’s Farm trailed 8 to 2 at the end of 1, but 4 of those were handicap goals given to Gehache to start with. Grant’s Farm then started to play and fouls were the death of Gehache. Three of Grant’s Farm first 6 were from penalties. It was all even at the 1/2 and add 3 more penalties and 2 for Gehache. It was not an exciting game to say the least. There were a lot of fouls most by Gehache front end early and the back end late. Grant’s Farm got ahead by a couple in the 4th then it was Gehache coming right back in the 5th. That was good as the score was tied at 16 all at the end of the 5th. Grant’s Farm/ERG was not up and cruising, but they got that way soon as they blew by Gehache in the 6th like they should 5 to 1 and put 21 on the board. Even with 30 fouls in the game they go to 2 and 0 + 5 and Gehache goes home at 0 & 2 – 7 or 8.
In the main game it was two teams each with a loss and needing to win. Audi was ready early as Zacara was thinking as they were on Friday. The main Man was there today and thinking on the run is his game and he soon had the sticks of Nick Roldan and Ruki Baileu humming. It was just a matter of time until pure speed was a factor as Zacara woke up and smelled the Zac and hauled a- – to the winners circle to go to 1 and 1. Audi falls in the hole at 0 & 2. Melissa Ganzi took a bad looking fall early, but came out fired up and did her job the whole game. Andy Busch was happy as he sold a couple of cases of cold Bud today to Memo Gracida and Melissa Ganzi and Memo and Paco’s groom might owe a case as well (you buy a case if you fall off).
Friday could be exciting as it spells the finals of the 2007 America’s Cup and all games turnout important as:
LongBeach/Klentner Ranch @ 1 & 1 -3 take on ERG/GF 2 & 0 + 5
Gechache @ 0 & 2 take on Zacara @ 1 & 1 Gehache is out Zacara needs to win and by how many depends on other 2 games.
Audi @ 0 & 2 take on Piocho Ranch @ 2 & 0 + 7 Audi is out, but can be a spoiler if they win. GF/ERG or A have a loss
as it stands.
Ocean division
Audi 0 & 2 – 5
Gehache 0 & 2 – 8
