The missing item that might have been helpful is a sample output of what you have so far. I'll guess that it's something like: gdate, gtime, division, teama, teamb -02-21 15:30 1 blank blank If you substitute/add hometeamID and awayteamID in the resultset (purely for debugging purposes) then you should see the IDs 12 and 13 appearing, but still no team names under teama or teamb. You probably know that you are missing the join between games and teams. There is no reason why you cannot have two joins - "double dipping". Did you try it? WHERE...teams.ID=hometeamID AND teams.ID=awayteamID NB the above does not imply (as some might at first think) that hometeamID would have to equal awayteamID for this to work, the two ANDs/the two joins are independently arranged.
