The Mets have lost four series in a row to some great teams. Great teams. Anaheim, Houston, Oakland, and Seattle. Simply disgusting.
Can the end of the season be far away? Or is it already here?
Off to play a softball doubleheader. Let's go to 6-1!
Happy Father's Day.

Working, ECW
I hate my boss. I just hate her and the way she manages. God help me, I need to get out soon. I've been crapped on so much lately I believe I should start a toilet paper business.
E-C-F'N-W!!!!
Great to hear both reunion shows for Extreme Championship Wrestling went so well. I remeber when I first started watching ECW in 1995. I was flipping the dials and came to MSG Network around 1:30 a.m. yes, a.m. Steve Austin was cutting a promo and I stopped to see what this was. I knew Austin was a good wrestler that I hated in WCW. Then I saw Bubba Ray Dudley before he joined forces with D-Von. This was when he was just a stuttering idiot. From there, Taz, Rob Van Dam, the Pit Bulls, Rey Mysterio, the Eliminators (the greatest tag team that never made the big time), Tommy Dreamer, Beulah, Shane Douglas, Francine, Jerry Lynn, Justin Credible, Lance Storm, Masato Tanaka, Mike Awesome and on and on we could go. Man, it was incredible. After watching the WWF and WCW since 1985, it was so refreshing to see a different style of wrestling that was in your face, ass kicking, and tough. Now it was not for everyone with the hardcore action, blood, and all that kind of stuff. And there were quite a few things I saw from them I was very opposed to. But there was a certain freedom and passion that just came out of ECW that made me watch it. It was sad when they closed in 2001. It's been 4 years and it doesn't seem quite that long ago.
Speaking of Van Dam, I'll still never forget meeting him in the Denver airport. He was a very cool guy and we talked for about 10 minutes. That will always be a favorite memory of mine.
Sorry, but TNA doesn't do it for me. I don't need to watch X-Pac and Billy Gunn anymore. I saw enough of them when they were in DX.

Softball update
Well after dropping the first game of the season, we are 4-1 on the season. I've had 2 hits in my last 3 at bats and scored quite a few runs. I don't know the exct stats because, hey, it's about which team has more runs. If I'm going to be concerned about a number it's whether we scored more runs than our opponent.
Jay is our captain Amy's fiance and he is one incredible player. He used to play minor league baseball so he knows what he's doing. However, he can get a little obnozious and arrogant and that bugs me and quite a few players on our team. As long as he's producing at the plate and at shortstop, it's a little easier to deal with all that attitude. It's not that he's a bad guy, I just don't want this team to be selfish and me-first.
These 45 minutes commutes to and from Arlington Heights are not exactly a cruise around the block either!

Friday is the night...
I'm going on my first date in a little over a year. I'm taking a girl to play Whirlyball with my church group. I think this is a good idea. It's a group so there's not much pressure. And Whirlyball is a game I am hideously bad at so I'll a few laughs at my own expense. Now could this become something more? I don't know. It could. I won't go into any more detail until then.

Sorry bout that Chief
A quick Get Smart reference.
First of all, my apologies for not writing more. This is an easy habit to break-all this blogging. I enjoy it, so I'll try to keep it up better from now on.
