We did play better the second half. We lacked focus and weren't playing together during the first half. And, obviously, the majors committed by every single one of our jammers really hurt us. Not having a jammer on the track scoring points is the worst possible situation in derby.The Bitch Doctors no longer have the mystique they once had. I don't think intimidation was a factor in this game.

I've heard members of other teams describe your team as very physical and intimidating. Do you agree with that, and do you cultivate that image on purpose.Well maybe last year when the season started. We wanted to look as menacing as possible to really try to get in side people heads. But this year is different. We play & practice with these women weekly so any type of intimidation that was there

I did feel that we lacked focus early on and we do seem to start slow when we play at bouts (especially this season). I feel that we scrimmaged a lot and tried to prepare during our practices for this, but our jammers had penalties right off the get go and our defense did not hit or hold the other teams jammer, which put us down immediately. We did try and call a time out early on and regain the

"Given the rise of roller derby and the momentum of Baltimore's own Charm City Roller Girls, do you have any interest in doing a movie about the roller derby?" No, but I'm for them, and I love that most roller-derby girls today are ironic burlesque stars. They seem to do both. I've met the ones in Baltimore, and I've met the ones in a lot of cities I go to. It seems like roller derby girls are
