I thought it was "injure" not "insure" or "ensure"

That's cruel, Al.  How can you do a poll and make the rest of us choose just one?!?  What if 1 through 4 are all acceptable and desired answers for this season?

Actually I've already done that in match 2,

So I guess I will have to Injure half his team if we meet again!

 Bringing out the mind games here.

Did Max mis-click?  Or is he trying his hardest to make sure Curtis is the favored son?

It may have been intentional.   Ian hasn't done anything adverse to Max like Ian did to Curt (dropping him when Curt was 1 year old on an Ian visit).  

That's karma for ya....Ian drops Curt on visit #1...Mary Ann drops Ian on visit #2....
 

I pledge to set my teams hardness level to 10

Al (HAR),

So why did you play only 3?

Well, in reality we mainly just wanted to beat Ian.  :-)
