The first of the dispersal dealings

July 1st, 2008 by Lauren Ward

In order to address their scoring woes, the Edmonton Rush first added Andy Secore and then swapped defender Troy Bonterre for Rochester Knighthawks’ dispersal pick-ups Lindsay Plunkett and Matt Brown, all of which are much better ideas than sneaking a second ball onto the floor. (Feel free to ignore my letters Mr. Hamley.)

In MSL news, been wondering why the Six Nations Chiefs were so thoroughly hammered by the St. Regis Indians Saturday night? Turns out a large chunk of the team came down with the Akwesasne Flu, symptoms of which include not wanting to go to Akwesasne. As a frequent sufferer of the My Best Friend’s Softball Game Flu, I would just like to say that I understand and wish everyone a speedy recovery. (Note: I have since been informed that many players were with good friend and teammate Roger Vyse at his stag and doe, and I think a lot of you will agree that an impending marriage is a good enough reason to miss a game and if not then maybe don’t tell your wife you feel that way. Congrats to Mr. Vyse.)
