NOTES.

BANANA GEORGE.

Last year, I kept extensive notes during the softball season(s). Here's a sample:
"RESTON……October
7……Lake Fairfax 5……First games since Vegas……Beth and I still
sick……Justin not there, so I manage the team……We destroy the
other team 26-3 and 20-5……They took their beatings happily……I
pulled a ball and hit the base of the fence in left field……Lauren
doing a cartwheel into second base after we scream for it……The other
team wanting a “taunting penalty”……A girl on the other team
fouling a ball off her face……Barney’s mom out for the games (“Do
it for your mom, Barney!”)……As BD was fixing second base (it came
out of the ground), Barney pitched to the next batter.
The umpire said, “Sorry, I can’t see around the
pitcher.”……Matt taking the lead-off spot to heart and running like
mad and hustling……Writing big “K’s” in the scorebook when
Vicky and Beth struck out……Me doing a 'farmer’s tissue' in the
outfield."
Now I need to figure out what to do with all of this. Hmm.

More fantasy baseball smack talk:
FROM SCOTT: "3 votes will stop this trade we now have 2 does all the big talkers have the balls to vote no?" |
FROM
GLENN: "I'll only vote no on a trade in two circumstances:
1) If it's obvious that two owners are working together to make one good team out of two teams.
2) If an owner decides against their own trade after it's been accepted.
Apparently, neither circumstance exists, so I'll stay out of it."

Fine,
I'll just title this entry Irrelevant Forum Posts From An Online
Fantasy Baseball League...
FROM BARNEY: "Hey Depot boy [Scott]] - think for once - Kenny and I were the 'big talkers', and we both voted no. Matter of fact, I was the one that called you a fucking retard,,,, a bit harsh, yes, but that was my analysis of your side of the trade at that moment.
And keep this in mind Einstein - Kenny and I are trying to keep you from destroying your team... We're looking out for your best interest, and the competitive balance of the league seeing that you don't have the sense to do it yourself!
On that note, seeing the trade is probably going to go thru, how about Zambrano (he's a Cub!!) for
Vlad?"

FROM
GLENN: "'We're looking out for your best interest.' - Barney.
That's a hoot! You just don't want Hammy to run away with the league title. And when you say 'competitive balance,' you're talking about your own balance.
I voted yes on the trade. Do I believe that it's an even trade? No. Do I begrudge Hammy for getting what we perceive as the better end of the deal? No, again. If any one of us were offered the same trade from Scott, we all would have accepted in a heartbeat--me included.
And one last thing: I find it very disappointing and quite disturbing that I used the word 'hoot' in a sentence."

And in other news, my spam is definitely improving. This is
verbatim:
