For many years, the weekly paddle email chain provided some of the best banter known to mankind… however, it came at a price. 50-reply-all emails a day started to actually become a bother to some members.

Lundeen inadvertently throws down the gauntlet on 3/4 of the club
Curt Lundeen, the very founder of the Lundeen 3000 — whose tireless efforts in keeping a respectable schedule and rankings up-to-date — recently made this apologetic post:
“Guys – This weeks schedule is on website – Sorry for the delay. Vacation / Months end / Other sh*t going on. I am working on next weeks later this AM and will get that loaded by tomorrow. If you haven’t already, let me know if you need off and I will give you a bye. We will have open paddle Thanksgiving week (Nov 22 & 23) Newbies, you may want to pop up this Thursday – Some pretty good matches to watch at 6:00 & 7:20 on Ct 1. Great chance to see how the game is played.“
Mike Farley, the builder of this very website, felt a clear bias against anyone over a Top 20 ranking…
“Newbies — Yes, some good matches on Thursday evening early (some top 10 guys in action)… as Curt said, “if you want to see how the game is played…” by paddle freaks. But if you want to see how YOU’LL ACTUALLY PLAY in a year or two, stick around for the 8:40 match on the B court for Mrotek / Molepske vs. Lehman / Farley. Just sayin’.”
Thoughts?
Mike, I came SO close to commenting on the “other stellar match”, but I felt I would be at risk of over promising and under delivering. As far as the rest of the field and the move in ranks? I JUST WANT TO MAKE PADDLE GREAT AGAIN!!!!
Curt, I never under deliver. Besides, with Lehmann and I teamed up, you’re almost certain to hear fantastically colorful vocabulary along with seeing a few tossed paddles.
….And besides, with my low IQ…..Everything I do is inadvertent.
Betting windows are open
Current line is Farley/Lehman -120. That is subject to change based upon BAC level of Tommy
Am I to presume that the higher the BAC level, the more likely we are to win?
It’s not just about BAC. The difference between bourbon Tommy and Bud Light Tommy? Night & Day…….just peeling back another layer
Members- I have a favor to ask. If the you could make sure to pick up any cups or cans from the courts as you leave them, it would be greatly appreciated. The same goes for old balls.
As is often the case, the dance-card got changed a bit. Just wanted to let you know, Curt, that Scott Molepske and I won a hard fought match vs. Chris Hitler and Tom Lehmann. Lehmann’s BAC was .06 tops. Go figure.
