Man, I'd Like Today Off

But it is not to be. Brutal. 

HoF Late Post

Congrats Pedro!

But boo to HoF voters for leaving Piazza out. Crossing the digits for 2016 induction!

Two Zero One Five

A little late but Happy New Year, townsfolk.

I haven't made a resolution yet. Maybe just keeping last year's going. Which means I gotta ramp up the workouts.

Did go to gym early New Year's Day, biceps and back was the deal.

We start baseball practice for our 14U (YSSS) team tonight. Looking forward to it.

Grizzly Bears

Spied two grizzly bears at JFK last night. You had to be there.

Week of Slowness

This is the week of slowness here at the J-O-B. Between holidays, so we have sales people dialing for dollars, and a lot of folks taking vacation. Me boss takes this time off, so I do not. Gotta be on the mark.

OSSS is down in Bradenton, FLA playing baseball with Under Armour Baseball Factory org. Left Saturday (7:00 AM flight!) and started playing, working out, etc. Saturday afternoon. He had a good day at plate on Sunday (first day of games) which was awesome to hear. There are kids from 35-40 states at this tournament, so it's a good place for him to see how he stacks up against national-level comp.

YSSS is home with us...took him to cages on Sunday and he was ripping! Playing some hoops but maintaining his casualness. Attaboy.

The Plan

Lost in FF championship. Luck and Green = 0 points. That did me in. So I get 2nd place share (35%) which should be about $400 or so.

So now we have fantasy basketball. This is an 8 player league for 1/2 cost. So to make up for my losses, I plan to WIN. I am currently in 1ST PLACE! and I am on a mission.

Daddy needs a new pair of shoes!!!

Andrew Luck

After the Zero (0) he put up in FF yesterday, and dimming SoulSlam's chances at a FF Championship and the moolah-di that comes with it, you would think that I consider Mr. Luck (?) a villain. A black hat. A devil in disguise.

I do not.

Blame to be assessed:

The "O" Line for all the penalties when Luck actually made some nice throws downfield

The guy who dropped a WIDE-OPEN PASS on the fake punt early in the first Q. Different game if he catches that

The HC Chuck Pagano, who decided to put in Matt Hasselback in the 3rd Q, when game was way out of hand.

The whole "we didn't want Andrew to risk getting injured in a meaningless game" argument holds zero (as in the number of points #12 scored me) water. If that is the case, why don't you just seal him in amber until playoffs?
