Hammers Team Overview

"Give me a Hammers on 3
1...
2...
3...
HAMMERS!"
- Pre-game cheer of the third place team in IID.

Since we'll soon be demolished by the Almighty Mahatma, I thought it was an opportune time to provide the overview of my intermediate team. Of course, names have been changed to protect the less-than-innocent ;-)

Mama Fish (El Capitaine Numero Uno)
Strengths: solid handler, one handed grabs with her go-go-gadget arms, and patience with headcases like yours truly.
Weaknesses: speed, and not speaking up when something is going wrong.
Andrea Hardenup
Strengths: In-cuts, flick, and endurance.
Weaknesses: Backhand and height.
Lilyhammers and Tiesmen
Strengths: Athleticism, willing to experiment in different positions, and field sense.
Weaknesses: Inexperienced handling (but pretty solid), and bad knee.
Giddy-up
Strengths: Speed, striking ability, and willingness to play a position she excels at.
Weaknesses: Limited as a handler (although does have a solid flick), and she can't play every point (wish she could).

InVinceable EverYoung (El Capitain Doze)
Strengths: Lefty, able to break force consistently, and loads of experience.
Weaknesses: Playing with torn ACL, overly aggressive as a handler, and quiet as a captain.
DGo
Strengths: Pretty throws, uses dump effectively, and experienced handler.
Weaknesses: Mobility and defensive effort.
Mr. UnMarkable Hardenup
Strengths: Athleticism, speed, and willingness to lay his body on the line.
Weaknesses: Unpolished game leads him to run a lot (but LOADS of potential).
Rigid
Strengths: Hammers, hucks, and experience handling.
Weaknesses: Athleticism and slaggability ;-)
Big Jean Stud
Strengths: Speed, decision making, and defensive effort.
Weaknesses: Height and confidence in his game (he should have more than he does).
Gym Rockin' Robinson
Strengths: Height, great hands, and willingness to lay-out.
Weaknesses: Inexperienced handling and doesn't strike as often as he should.
K. Bringiton
Strengths: Solid throws, solid cuts, and solid defensively.
Weaknesses: Attendance and endurance.
Nurple
Strengths: Writing ultimate parody songs, associating with superior ultimate players, and stlyin' ultimate gear.
Weaknesses: Unrelenting, unwarranted confidence in his forehand hucks, playing defense at the cadence of "a walk in the park", and being broken as consistently as Paris Hilton's headboard.

There you have my brief assessment of my IID team. Hands down the third best team in the league, but, as mentioned above, not for long. Wonder how the holiday shuffle will impact the Hammers??? Until next time, happy hucking!
