Pothole Rodeo
The Hellmouth II/Season 1 League Division Series pitted the 
Alewife Arsonists
against the 
San Francisco Boat Shoes
, and the wild 5-game series was a chaotic, messy, bone-jarring ride like hitting a series of massive potholes at high speed. The lurching, violent swings in momentum felt less like strategy or deliberate formations, and more like trying to hang on for dear life on a frenzied course down a neglected city street.
The final pothole of Game 5 caused the ultimate breakdown for the Arsonists, with the Boat Shoes deftly stealing a win from the Arsonists in the final generations, causing the ultimate breakdown for the Arsonists, and an eventful end to their season. Fans took to calling it the Pothole Rodeo for the jarring twists and turns the series took.
