The Alewife Arsonists loss to Milwaukee Flamingos the very next season (Season 9 of the Hellmouth Cup) is blamed on the 'Gansett Curse (a.k.a. beer allergies, a.k.a. a hangover). The Arsonists, still basking in the glow of their victory, were extremely hung over. Their patterns were sluggish and unfocused, their rage diluted by satisfaction. Everybody was wearing sunglasses and trying not to get sick at the smell of the beer-soaked Milwaukee Flamingos. The mysterious Brake Master Cylinder lamented that the team seemed to have beer allergies in addition to sun allergies. They had burned so brightly winning the Season 8 Hellmouth Cup that their grand burning torch had been reduced to a tiny pilot light. It was a brutal reminder that for the Arsonists, contentment is a poison.
