Week 6: Goldilocks

In the notable children's bedtime story Goldilocks judges with phrases like "too hard," "too hot," "too soft" and "too cold."

Sludge visited with a friendly UnClq at one of Anacostia Park's more dangerous field (too rocky, too dusty, too manholey). Our opponent's unforced errors and punts were lapped up like well-tempered porridge creating many of Sludge's first half points. A few short throws to advance the disc, then a medium-long throw for a score was really working for brown. Unbelievable (the good kind)!

Yes, there was a wind, tho Sludge played more person D to tire our short-handed/legged foes. Habits are hard to break, so some zone was also played. Since UnClq had another game after ours, the game turned into a reserved lackadaisical back & forth with one team keeping score.

With an 8-4 lead, Nigel's "no shorts" game nudged Sludge to show more leg on defense. Brown's offense>defense energy reminds me of the pope mobile where it's a safe haven but it sure looks/feels imbalanced.

After about 65 minutes, Sludge won 15-8...,which was "just right."
