Best Idea for a basement....

Thank you Steve for sending me this link.




So, for 15k, "You get four TVs, a 1200-watt Panasonic 5.1 home theater, DVD player with 5-disc changer, iPod docking station, a keg-o-rator, microwave oven, two cigar humidors, 32-bottle wine rack and — get this — a 7-foot long sports ticker with its own computer built into it."

Wow just wow. I would like to add a little more if I could. I want to expand the main frame so the TV could be a little bigger. Can we put a shelf for hard liquor and hard liqour glasses? That way we could have a full bar. Other than that, I think this wall is PERFECT.

Softball - Game 3

So last Thursday we had a LATE softball game, 9:40 start. We were missing a lot of people so we pulled in three subs. On a sidenote, thank you subs!

So, our defense as usual was playing strong. This week Mary subbed for us and played 2nd. She played great. That is now two weeks in a row we had a sub play awesome at 2nd. We could not get our bats going. We were losing 5-2 going into the bottom of the 7th. Well, our bats finally starting producing. We scored 3 runs and forced extra innings.

In the top of the 8th, we gave up a run. In the bottom of hte 8th, we end up scoring 2 and getting the win!

Since Friday was a holiday for most and there was a broken down paddy wagon by our field, we decided to head to our roof top to celebrate the win.

We are now 2-1 with a plus 10 run differential through three games!

Dodgers and Softball.

Matt Kemp owes me an apology. The dodgers lost to the white sox in 13 or 14 innnings last Thursday. I do not even remember now. Matt Kemp who is usually our best hitter went 0 for 7 and cost us the game defensively. ARGH! He blew a routine fly ball to start the inning and cause the final run to be scored. You owe me a jersey!

Softball last thursday was awesome. We won 12-2 in 5 innings. We were winning 12-0 in the 5th but gave up 2 runs. We were only playing with nine people and we had to take an automatic out at the bottom of the lineup because we only had three girls.

Michelle who had not played softball in almost 2 years played great. Her first two at bats she got timely hits. She was playing 2nd base and had a lot of action. I think she had 5 put outs during the game. She looked like she had been playing 2nd her whole life. She was worried about playing so it was a nice surprise to play that well. Our team really came together and I think we will be a force to reckon with this year. Our defensive is good which will keep us in every game. Should be a great year.

The Bet!

Funk and I made a bet on today's White Sox/Dodgers game. If the Dodgers lose, I have to buy a Pierre Dodgers jersey. I then have to wear it out one night and get heckled. Lets just say I hate Juan Pierre in many ways. If the White Sox lose, Funk has to buy a Podsednik jersey. He then has to wear it out one night and get heckled. Big bet!

Well, right now the score is tied and we are in the top of the 8th! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Transformers....

was AWESOME. Of course you are going to like the movie if you are a transformer fan. Here are a few random thoughts without giving away the movie.

1. Watching it on the IMAX helps. It is big, intense, loud - the movie and the screen!
2. The movie was funnier than I was expecting.
3. Much like an action movie, not too much developement but lots of action.
4. Not as good as the original
5. I still loved it and was glad I went to the opening night.

Now, go out and watch this movie!

More Random Comments

1. "Cheese is said to have been discovered by an Arab nomad travelling across the desert during the Neolithic period with milk in a container made from an animal’s stomach. The enzymes in the stomach curdled the milk." Now that is one extra treat for making your way through a desert!
2. The rematch of the 1959 World Series starts tonight. Even though I like both teams, lets hope the outcome is similar.
3. Transformers opens at 12:01 am tonight. Lets just say I am going and I am watching on the IMAX. Yes, I am VERY EXCITED!
4. No. Really. Transformers. Tonight. TONIGHT! EXCITED!
5. RIP Ed McMahon. The true definition of a wing man. Dare I say the best Wing man ever. RIP.

Have a good Tuesday!

Randomness

1. The weekend was good. My wife did a great job of summarizing the last four days on her blog.
2. Sunday was great. It was a lazy day of watching golf, playing Wii, and taking naps.
3. Watching little league is fun but it can really drag on. Three hours for a game is too long. Both of my nephews are better players than I ever was. That is not saying much though.
4. I love little league concession stands. So cheap and so good.
5. Now that summer is finally here, the family needs to hit the pool at Hamlin park.
6. Heading this Friday to Minneapolis for a wedding. Lets just say June was a very busy month!
7. Love the #7. Elway!!!

Happy Monday!
