Ugh...

Put The Playmaker through a 90 minute basketball workout.  Sweaty and exhausted.  Ugh.

Mitt in 2012

We're effing PISSED...

Pissed away an 8-2 lead after 4 innings tonight, losing 14-8.  The Playmaker was 2-4 with 1 RBI and 2 stolen bases.

Memorial Day

Started with a 60 minute elliptical workout at 5:45 AM.  Showered and took The Playmaker for some BP and pitching.  (The Wife shagged balls for us.)  Came back and squeezed in another 60 minute workout.  Showered (again) and then watched the Phillies-Mets game with The Playmaker while The Wife and The Playmaker's Sister went to a friend's house and swam all afternoon.  After the Phillies W (six RBIs for our whipping boy, Wiggy.), we grilled boneless chicken thighs on the grill and ate dinner on the deck.

75 Big Ones...

Just got back from 75th birthday dinner with father-in-law.  Wow.  That will be us one day.

Forget it...

When Dirty Prick Garnett trips Spencer Hawes into Brandon Bass and the refs give Bass two foul shots, you know the NBA wants no part of a 76ers-Heat conference finals. Game over.

HUGE win...

Defeated the first place team tonight, 7-4.  Details tomorrow.

And he says Mitt will win in 2012. Click here.

OMG...

Accidentally turned on American Idol tonight and was "forced" to endure it for 15 minutes.  That's possibly the worst CRAP we've ever watched.  Who would willingly watch that sheeeet?!?  First time in the history of the show we watched some of it.  Never again will we make that mistake.

A show of pathetic losers watched by pathetic losers.

T-I-R-E-D...

45 + 90 = tired legs

Happy Birthday

The Wife joins us today in the land of 44.

Exhausted...

Triple header today. Two lax games and a baseball game.  Details later.

A.I.

Papelbon!!!

Phillies 6 Red Sox 4

Well done...

News item: Eagles ink Shady McCoy well before training camp.

Smart.  Very smart.

Debbie Downer...

We still don't think the 76ers win the series.  BUT, if they manage to win game three tonight, then things will get very interesting.

Not kidding

Too exhausted to post. Multiple workouts, followed by lax in the pouring rain.

Get 'em outta here...

My name is Lou Williams.  I shoot 37 percent from the floor.  I can't guard anyone.  And I think I'm awesome.

Happy Mother's Day...

Celebrated with three games -- all completely spread out.  Lax at 11:15.  Baseball at 4:00.  Lax at 7:00.

Ugh.

Not even close...

Sixers will lose to the Celtics in a short five game series.

Good stuff

The Playmaker had another good Metro Friday Night.  He won the one-on-one competition for his group.  And his father hosted other dads after practice for several rounds of drinks on the deck.

"Tim, I don't mean to be inappropriate..."

Three & out...

1. Cliff Lee is back!  He is the best hitter in the Phillies' piss-poor offense.

2. Chris Carter is a waste of a person!  We would love to punch him in the face.  Hard.  Really hard.

3. Off the field, Tom Brady is a total pu$$y!  Good gawd, man.  Get some stones.

Coming soon...

The Hoops Whisperer.  Eight weeks.  All plotted out.

Best we can do...

Coming soon...

Best we can do...

TGIF

The end of a sheeety week.  Sheeety 10 days, really.  You bypass the normal Friday Night Drinking with fellow metro team dads.  Instead you stay and watch Your Son's metro basketball practice.  He locks up the opposing point guard, who is a total prick and thinks he's NBA bound (as does his jerk-off father).  Holds the kid scoreless and picks him twice at halfcourt during the 15 minute end of practice scrimmage.  On offense Your Son blows by the loser and an iso play and converts the easy layup.

By the end of the 90 minute practice you are feeling good again.

Wow

In Buster We Trust...

Oops...

Didn't realize two days when we posted that Seau would, in fact, off himself today.

Yikes.  Not cool.

Philly Trifecta...

Watching the Phillies (tied), Flyers (winning) and 76ers (winning).

Might be time to Seau ourselves...

Not entirely kidding.

Dinner Bell Mel

Bryce Brown...

That is classic. Effing classic

Ugh...

Completely exhausted...

Give us some deeeeeeeeeefense...

We don't care who the Eagles draft tonight, as long as the pick is on defense.  All that we ask is that they don't trade down from 15.  (Trading up would be G-R-E-A-T...)  But if you put the water gun to our head?!?

We' want safety Mark Barron of Alabama.

Sheeeeet...

Pissed off.  Lost last night in baseball, 7-1.  Pissed away a 5-0 lead in lax tonight and settled for a 5-5 tie.

Eff off.

A comeback for the ages...

Not really (© Teddy).  But it was still suh-weeeet.  Your Dodgers trailed their opponent on Opening Day Saturday, 3-zip in the bottom of the fifth inning. At that point, we had one hit.  Even worse, we had only put the ball in play twice.  Our worst two hitters started off the inning with walks.  A single put the score at 3-1 with runners on first and second.  
p
And up to the plate stepped ... wait for it ... The Playmaker.
p
Now till that point he had been dreadful at the plate, striking out twice.  In fact, he hadn't even been able to muster a foul ball.  First pitch, a crappy strike that was about three inches off the plate.  The next pitch was chest high and right down the chute.  No lie, he effing crushed it.  He unleashed a gapper to left center field that ended up rolling all the way to the fence.  His double cleared the bases, drove in two runs and tied the score at 3-3.  By the time the inning was over we were up, 6-3.  A 1-2-3 6th inning cemented the opening day win.
p
For the game, The Playmaker was 1-3 (double) with 2 RBIs. He played 2 innings at first base, 3 innings at catcher (where he tagged out a runner to end an inning) and 1 inning in center field.
p
Tonight, we face the team that scored 22 runs in their first game.  TWEN--TEE  TWO RUNS!!!  And The Playmaker is slotted to be our second pitcher of the game.
p
Yikes...

Best we can do...

OU 1985-86: Tillman, Bryan, Boz, Brown

Effing cold...

Spent 90 mins in the freezing rain today and came away with a 9-6 win. We are now 3-oh on the season. The Playmaker played the whole game on defense  (ZZZZ). Come back tomorrow for a recap of Saturday's opening day in Little League Baseball.

Oh, yeah.  We're making chicken wings for dinner.

Opening Day...

Wow...
