5-0: The Streak Continues.

Team Continental Office continues it’s dream season with another strong performance. The final was 13-3, with a solid showing by the defense after getting off to a bad start last week. Like most of our opponents Mercer Consulting had no answer for our offensive juggernaut.

Next up is undefeated Team Connextion Lofts (yours truly will not be attending), some are calling this the game of the century. The game has been picked up by ABC as a regional telecast so check your local listings.

Kickball: Close Call.

The pictures above are pretty bad but I’m working on the Action/Sports photography. Anyway’s, today’s game was by far the closest for the Continental Office team. We lost our momentum when we rattled off 8 straight runs in the first inning but once you hit eight we learned you must end the inning before the other team faces permanent emotional damage. Once this occurred we never really recovered. We ended up winning 10-6 but for a minute there the score was 8-6 and things were looking bad. Either way we pulled it out and we continue our march towards immortality.

On a side note there was an article in the Wall Street Journal yesterday about Adult Kickball leagues with the following title: Playing Kickball Is Much Less Fun With Adults Involved. I tend to disagree but that’s probably because I believe at age 25 I’ve hit my Peak Kickball playing years.

Tyson & the Birds.

Tyson is making yet another comeback and with that comes some great quotes. During an interview with USA Today Tyson compared the public’s perception of him with the perception of Jeffrey Dahmer:

“They would give (the late) Jeffrey Dahmer a second chance before they gave me another one. If you saw a (police) lineup and saw Tyson and Dahmer and they asked, ‘Who killed and ate those people?’ you would pick me and not Jeffrey.”

That’s my boy.
