Company Outings

I didn't get any posts up in a while because I decided that yesterday, in an effort to throw off my co-workers, I would actually do a little work.

No, I'm kidding. I would never do that. Yesterday, we had a company outing at the Frisco Rough Riders game. Just think, I got paid to get hammered with my bosses. Never do you learn so much about someone you work with until you tie a few off with them. Suddenly, they are whispering how they feel about some scrub that works in accounting, or they tell you how much of a jerk-off they thought you were when you first got the job. Either way, its always fun. Especially when the CFO pays for all of your beer. I'll keep agreeing with you, if you keep 'em coming. Thanks, dude. I am starting to learn the loop holes of the corporate world.

After a nice sunburn, I had to go get my car fixed because the engine is about to fallout. Not good times. Anyways, I finalized my one and a half day sports purge (watching mavs on tues, attending frisco in the am) by going to the Rangers game last night. Shut out the Sox 8-0. I slept well.

Mavs stuff up in yo face...
Although I was disappointed in the outcome of that game. And although the Mavs played like crap. And although we should be 3-0, I still think this thing is in good hands. I think they'll win tonight. After all, there is no way we can lose as long as we have this guy on our team.

A few more thoughts on Tuesday's game:
--Since the playoffs began this season, Dallas has had trouble with either the first game of the series or the first game on the road. None the less, they have finished all three series on the road so I am not that worried.

--After Stack made such an impact in game two, he does nothing in game 3, except missed a dunk. That was just funny though.

--Ok, I agree. DWade is unstoppable when he wants to be, much like Dirk. Although it did help that Devin Harris was the only Maverick to score a FG in the final six minutes. I'm sure a point or two here and there might have made difference in a two point game. Just a hunch.

--Shaq made BOTH of his FT's in crunch time. That's the equivalent of Miami Vice not sucking because Collin Farrell has an Oscar worthy performance. Literally, what are the odds?

--The Crafty Veteran said it best: "Dirk won't miss another free throw like that for years. That was a freebie to the Heat."

Agreed.

--http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOVFTgCVgnU&search=mark%20cuban-- I don't know how many of you saw this interview with Mark Cuban before game 1 of the finals while he was on a stair climber for no particular reason. All I can say is I can see him hearing that Stu Scott was there, then proceeding to jump on the machine while spraying a light mist on his face and arms with a spritzer bottle, and then issuing the order to send him in. I swear I love the guy, but the man is ridiculous. Also, I had no clue a man could flex his triceps for such a long time while the camera rolls. I say he practiced that almost ten times before he let the cameras in.

--http://sports.espn.go.com-- First, Pedilla plunks Pierzynski twice last night, then Ozzie calls in some minor league clown to hit Blalock. Minor leaguer chickens out, but gets an out anyway; Ozzie looses it and demotes him back to minors. I don't know what else to say about this other than that this Rangers-White Sox rivalry is really starting to heat up. Someone's gonna get fastball in the temple or Ozzie's head is gonna explode.
