You ever get a funny feeling when the team you're rooting for, the underdog, is leading? I've gotten so used to Jeff's squad overcoming adversity that the current state of the match has me a little concerned. I mean, you're SUPPOSED to win the match when you're up 33 with 18 boards to go. Frukacz leads Molson 140-107.
In the other matchup, it's Bawlin Time for Ballantyne, as they trail Thurston 154-74.
Izzy's squad is up by 41 in the Ladies Final. Only 8 IMPs more than Frukacz' lead, but it seems so much more insurmountable somehow. Izzy's squad led from wire-to-wire in the Round Robin and hasn't lost any quarter by more than 2 IMPs. A very solid and consistent performance. Not as exciting as Jeff's results, but winning steady is the name of the game. Hail Marys are exciting, but ...
As an aside, I don't see why the Ladies Final should have fewer boards than the Open Final.
