Disappointment

When I begged to be added to contribute to this blog, Juicelaw was posting something nearly every 30 minutes and was not bashful of posting cool words like the word "FUCK" throughout the day at work. However, now he has taken a new position at a stuffy law firm (see picture), and understandably so, is a bit nervous of checking, much less contributing to the blog throughout the day in fear that someone might write the word FUCK in giant letters and cost him his job. I respect his position, but it is very disappointing for someone like me who hardly ever has clients any more, doesn't have an office internet policy and likes to frequent the blog in search of Juice's patented comedy and sarcasm. Like I said, I understand, but I am deeply disappointed.

On another note, I just got a letter from a bigshot attorney in a big town close to here. One of those "it was a pleasure to meet you at the CLE the other day, if you are ever interested in going to lunch" type of letters. I think (hope) he is possibly trying to recruit me to his firm. Either that or he is gay and is trying to seduce me. As long as I get a different job, I'm gay, umm, I mean game.

My on base percentage is now .982 in our slow-pitch co-ed league and my batting average is roughly .850. First game I was 1-2 with a single and reached on an error. Second game I was 3-3 with a single, inside the park home run, a triple and 5 RBIs. That's right boys, GLORY DAYS. And yes, I understand how sad my athletic career has become that I have to brag about slow-pitch softball on an internet blog.

Butt-stink really choked in the clutch last night. What were the odds that he would ground out to the shortstop to end the game? 1:1?

Things You Should Pay Somone Else To Do

- The wife and I spent 14 hours on Friday and Saturday landscaping around our house. We only almost got divorced once. If I had known then, what I know now, I can guarantee you I would have found a way to pay someone else to do it. Two days later, I am having a hell of a time typing because my hands hurt so bad from hand digging the trench around my house to put in the edging. I also realize that they have tools that one could have used to do this, but I was trying to do it as cheaply as possible. I'm just sayin' pay someone.

- The Brewers may want to pay someone to manage their baseball team as well. I hypothesized before they left for Pittsburgh that if they didn't win at least 4 games on the roadie, Neddy should be toast. Today seems to be the big day. Seven games against perennial bottom-feeders. If you are supposed to be a playoff contender, you should be able to win 4 of 7, if you are playing on the fucking moon. The inconsistencies haven't been fixed. The ginger appears to be our second best pitcher. Yesterday, Neddy trotted out FOUR bench players on the same day. Billy Rob Deer Hall finds himself in a platoon because he has come down with Geoff Jenkins syndrome (can't hit same handed pitching at all, destroys opposite hand pitching). The players haven't performed, people are starting to get injured. I understand all or even most of this isn't Neddy's fault, but I think the players need a) a new voice, b) to understand that there will be repercussions for playing like shit. Neddy has a leash that is way too long and he is too stubborn and defensive to get it done. Maybe they will be worse off with a new manager. Then Melvin and the players can go next. But if anyone in the organization believes this group can win now, then a change should be made soon.

-Weeks Watch (last 3 games): 2-10, BB, 5K (Season: .207/.706)

-The Rob Deer Watch is over. Platoon players aren't going to lead the team in K's

-7% chance for playoffs

- Once again, starting a new job tomorrow. I am completely unsure what their Internet policies are. My old job had none. This new job is so different from what I was doing before it is going to be like the Brewers deciding tomorrow to convert Gabe Kapler into a starting pitcher. Which at this rate might happen next week anyway.
