The Enforcer and Jenufine Reunited
Looking to rebound from a demoralizing Week 3 loss, The Greatest and Best Team in the World drew from the Olympics for inspiration in Week 4.
In a page straight from the US men's gymnastics narrative (minus the stunted musculoskeletal development, delayed vocal maturation, and their unexplainable inability to give a proper two-handed high-five), we returned to the familiar role of underdog. We knew that to prove our doubters wrong, we would need to embrace the strong foundation of friendship, trust, and unity that brought us to the DC Bocce League in the first place. Like the Olympic competitors from Georgia and Russia, we, too, reached across the competitive divide to embrace those with whom we may not agree (above picture). In addition, we integrated into our bocce throws an array of exaggerated facial expressions that women weightlifters use to convey a marked sense of assurance and self-control. Next week, we anticipate the addition of several adroit lunging maneuvers the likes which have never been seen outside of Olympic fencing competition.
Most importantly, we incorporated Michael Phelps' infamous pre-swim tradition of flailing his flaccid arms about as if they are completely independent from the rest of his torso.

Shoulder Injury Waiting to Happen
In the end, none of these strategies made a damn difference, and we lost another close match to Irritable Bocce Syndrome (IBS). It turns out you can have all the heart and dedication in the world, but if you can't score more points than the other team, you aren't going to win. Unless you cheat. And, that's exactly what we're going to do next week. Lesson learned.
