I checked in with Lazer Beam, captain of the Pistolwhippers, to find out where the team is at:
Detroit Area Dork: What players aren't returning this season, and what vacancies did that leave in the team's overall skill-set?
Lazer Beam: Tara To Pieces retired, Jackie O Noyoudidnt is off for the season, and Meli Ali is off in till mid-season. We lost two of our best Jammers, and one of our best Best Blockers.
L: We took Tig O' Hitties and V8 Nightmare in the draft. Both ladies have the ability to be key players on our team in the future. We are very excited for their first bout as Pistolwhippers!
D: What factors led you to make your draft choices?
L: I think the Dames always have surprises waiting. They have worked hard all summer and are hungry for a win. But so are we. It should be a very good game.
D: Do you think the Dames are going to have any new surprises for this bout?
