Grape Wall of Alewife
Hellmouth Cup
The 
Detroit Grape Chews
, who had established their "Big Purple Machine" reputation early in the Hellmouth Cup, saw their team narrative gradually morph into the Hot League Choke Artists - the team that was cursed with never winning a pennant. The 
Alewife Arsonists
had a significant role in this shift in the narrative, repeatedly frustrating the Grape Chews by handing them Championship Series losses in Season 8, Season 11, and Season 19. While the Arsonists were hardly the only team to deny Detroit a pennant in the Hellmouth Cup, the Grape Chews found themselves particularly vulnerable to the bustling commuter energy and Brutalist designs the Arsonists brought to matches.
Hellmouth II Cup
While the rapid succession of Hellmouth II Cup series losses in Hellmouth II/Season 13, Hellmouth II/Season 15, and Hellmouth II/Season 20 were some of the most heartbreaking in the Alewife Arsonists
's long and storied history, the consolation prize was defeating the Detroit Grape Chews
and holding the Grape Wall of Alewife strong through the entire Hellmouth II Cup. The Grape Chews continued their endless nightmare of being cursed to never win a pennant, having already "celebrated" a Century of Failure in Hellmouth II/Season 4.
