Words can't describe this loss, 6-4 Farmville.
The teal Farmville team made it a perfect
4-0 after knocking off Words with Friends 6-4 on Friday.
They complete the home and home sweep of the Words team, but they are winning smartly.
"We haven't won a game by more than two goals," said captain Tony Onello. "So they whole Downgrade talk hasn't come into play yet. That and we have an untested rookie goalie."
It started badly before the game even started. Tony Maffeo arrived without his cup or his helmet.
"I borrowed some from the lost and found pile, both were too big," said Maffeo.
After a scoreless first period which would have put any insomniac to sleep, the goals came quicker than flies on a rib roast.
Words went up 1-0, then fell behind 2-1 before tying it 2-2, all before the midway point of the period. Goals by Onello and Fortini put the game out of reach before the middle frame ended.
Each team scored twice in the final period, ending this quite forgetful game.
The Friends fall to 1-3 while Farmville improves to a perfect 4-0.
Down by 2 late Rick Armand would not pull the goalie.
"Why give someone a chance at an open net goal and skew the stats?" quipped Armand. "Did you see Bobrycki over there licking his lips with a minute to play?"
There's also more dissention on the team as Jeff Rogato is concerned about playing on a line with Steve Hardy.
"How does anyone expect me to do anything with Hardy out there?" said Rogato.
"It was your turn to play with him," replied John Ragucci.

Dear Beefcake -- I've been dealing with a moral dilemma all morning, but after speaking to my pastor, I decided to come forward and do the honourable thing... I was credited with the first goal of the game this morning (Words with Friends), but I actually didn't score --I think it was Tony Maffeo. Cheers. Todd Nichol
