HaHa August 17 Preseason Blog

Follow me on Twitter (@fenway617)

It had to start somewhere this season . Why not at 2:20am on 8/17/2011 after I have has 4 pops of zambuca which helped me wash down an Ambien. Don't worry, I am OK. Or if I am not this blog post will be worth money tomorrow.  This is what is great of just being my own boss here. Do what I want to do. Of course I don't get paid shit.  But that's OK, it is fun. And I didn't really booze with Ambien, it just sounded so Hollywood to say it.   Other big events to happened on August 17th.
  • 2008 Michael Phelps wins 8 Gold Medals in 2008 Olympics
  • 2000 The Democratic party nominates Al Gore to run for president
  • 1998 President Bill Clinton testifies before a grand jury investigating his conduct and admits an 'inappropriate relationship' with Monica Lewinsk
  • 1980 George Brett goes 4-for-4, raising his batting average to .401
 If you followed me last year you know I am a Nomar fan. I still feel he is one of the best Red Sox players ever, I'm not going to argue that here though. But I do wear #5 in softball for him.   But I can announce that I will not end this or any future blogs with a Nomar quote like last year. Nomar sent me  and asked me to stop so I always listen to my god. So I need a new idea this year to end this silly thing.

This blog has evolved a great deal.  I find awesome is people actually read it despite my butchering of the English language.  If readership ever drops I thought about posting a nude picture of Brady's kid to grab some attention but someone beat me to that.

Does anyone care about the preseason? I thought I did, really I did.  Patriots 1st preseason game last Thursday. I was actuallty looking forward to it. So the game comes on, 5 min later my girlfriend screams from the shower "Only cold water" I knew what that meant, we ran out of oil. My fault, I knew it was very low. I was watching the stock markets and oil prices all week and hedging my bet for a bigger drop in oil prices.. opppps. It was now 10pm, she is col. I really want sex so I need to spring into action.  Off to the gas station I go, 6 gallons of diesel in the container.  Heading back home. Chug, Chug, Chug, Chug, Chug, the tank has the six gallons. It fires up slow, I bleed the lines and we are good to go. I feel so gettto but hey we got hot water. The next day I had the tank filled.

So back to the preseason, I saw one play before the oil went dry so I DVR the game.  By the timegot to watch it later that night I completely lot interest. Did I really want to FF trough 2nd and 3rd string players. I stood there looking at it until I finally clicked "delete" & "yes"to confirm".. and it was gone. I feel like I missed nothing.

As far as this blog goes. I will be around more. I will be writing a lot about folks in the pool but I'll mix in random stuff as well.  I am wrapping up grad school so my thesis will be done soon. Anyone out there hiring? I'll need a job after my thesis and my MS in IT. Follow me on Twitter to see when this thing is updated.

  1. Welcome back everyone......this is tabaccy .....yes I'm a guy.......(*&%@!!#@^&%) Holy Crap !!!!!!
    How could HE pick so bad and be in last place for so long ??? The answer is in the comments from your last blog on Fri., Jan 28 at the end of last season. But I'll tell you now anyways. I was TRYING TO LOSE so I could get in last place and grab the 350.00 !!!
    I was so far out of getting into the top 15, I decided to try to lose to get to the bottom. Why not ?? If you look at it like I did....I ended up winning more than 12th - 15th place WINNERS, and I tied in dollars with 11th place !!!! I'll tell you this.....if you think it's easy to pick the losers....think again. It's just as hard to do. I don't understand the logic behind coming in last place and winning more than the folks being in the top 12 or 15 ??? Last place should just get his/her money back. Put the extra into the folks that made great picks !!! I understand the Monday night closest to the number....that's hard and he/she deserve the cash.
    Well enough of that. I want to ask everyone that's in the pool to say thank you to Ed for running a super pool. He does a tremendous job. Please follow my lead......when I send in my money, I'm going to send him and extra $10.00 as a thank you for his services. It's only $10.00 bucks !!! And if your in the top 10, 12 or 15 on the money list at the end of the year, throw him an extra 5-10 % of your winnings. Thanks Ed.....and good luck everyone. 10 game lead going into the last game....COULDN'T be a guy.......$@!#@^%& HOLY CRAP !!!
