Results - Week 3

This week's results: NYDO Standings

We, the Dartbags, are currently in sole possession of 6th place (out of 7). However, we're only 2 points out of 4th, and have yet to play a match at full strength. We will finally be at full-strength this week.

Monday night, we face-off against arguably the toughest team in the division, Armed & Hammered. I have no idea who they are, these are uncharted waters. But they look pretty strong on paper, with some big-time heavy hitters. This one's a tough one. No doubt. We'll give it a go, at The Jeek.

In other news...

Starving Dartists: Pya Lou's team continues to roll in C4, on the back of Chris 'The Freak' Mellen, who can make a legit run at the C-league all-star team this season. Also, our own Pya chippin' off some rust with 300 asp's. WOW. They play at Soldier McGee, a fantastic pub that sits across the street from The Jeek. Pya Lou on deciding to make Soldiers the new home of the 'Dartists: "The best decision I've ever made." Sweet.

Poison Dart Frogs: Our adopted A1 team is a bit slow out of the gate as well this season. Granted, when the opposing team's starting lineup drops a hayadoin' of at least 1000 asp's each...well...you're lucky to get out with a point...let alone, clean skivvies.

If they're firing on all cylinders though, they're as good as it gets. 'Killer' Kevin King. 'Never-Shakey' Harlan Blaikie. Dax 'Head-Condomunna' (I'm open to alternatives, submissions are welcome, or maybe its just plain Dax...like Madonna or Seal). Ralph Pravata. Brian Walsh. And a guy named Chris Walklet, who we've probably met, but I can't remember. Anyway, kick some ass this week guys, we'll be lookin' out. And if you're gonna go down, go out slammin' haymakers, Chuck Wepner.

And finally, treasury prices rose Friday as investors, anxiously awaiting next week's batch of bank earnings, took their money out of stocks and put it in less risky assets.

Though the Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 100 points after General Electric Co. posted a surprise decline in profit and lowered its forecast for the year, Treasury market trading was fairly light, with investors in wait-and-see mode.

"It's a dead, quiet Friday," said David Ader, bond strategist at RBS Greenwich Capital in Greenwich, Conn. He said trading could get more volatile, however, as the market is girding for massive asset write-downs from banks in the coming week.

This is Cuppa Joe.
