DAILY DOSE: "On the Ground With My World Upside Down"

Best. Idea. Ever.

And that friends, is your Link of the Day. I've got to say, this idea sounds like so much fun, I can't even get over the thought of it. And between March Madness and this, March is going to become the best sports month of the year. The Bracketmaster will now have TWO tournaments to win every spring.

Without rosters even remotely set, my money's on the Dominicans. Think about this murderer's row (to quote the Page 2 Daily Quickie)

"Tejada, Pujols, Vlad, Ortiz, Aramis, Soriano, Sosa with Pedro as the ace. Yikes..."

of course, the Colonies will field a pretty decent squad, too.. let's think about this for a second...
RF Brian Giles
SS Derek Jeter
3B Alex Rodriguez
LF Manny Ramirez
CF Jim Edmonds
1B Sean Casey
2B Jeff Kent
C Jason Varitek

They'd probably use a DH, which would suck, but the bench looks like THIS (remember, 27 man rosters)
Derek Lee (1B)
Scott Rolen (3B)
Joe Mauer (C)
Adam Dunn (OF)
Pat Burrell (OF)
and a middle infielder (I would say Clint Barmes, Jack Wilson, Marcus Giles or Kahliel Greene)
or they could just use ULTIMATE UTILITYMAN Rob Mackowiak (i had to)

and they're pitching would be d-e-a-d-l-y.
Clemens, D-Train, Beckett, Prior, Maddux, Unit, Schilling, Mussina (THE OTHER Mr. Montour), Schmidt...

can you tell I think this is an amazing idea?
I can't wait.

Otherwise, slow day around here. Although I did get another bill from the library, brining my GRAND TOTAL up to $2,550.

However, I took the books back yesterday, and since they hadn't reordered any of the "lost" books, those charges were wiped away. That just left me with my overdue charges, which were reduced by the "one-time forgiveness" they can give me of 50% knocking the REAL TOTAL down to 60 bucks. She was like, "i'm sorry that's a lot.." to which i replied, "not compared to 1300 bucks, it's not!"

so alls well that ends well.

As for the interview...meh. we'll see. I'm less than confident on this one. I really don't feel like it's going to happen at this point, which sucks, because I'm all about this firm. They asked me how many years I played baseball at school, and then asked if I ever used steroids, to which I replied,

"I'm not here to talk about the past..."

after they stopped laughing (if you don't get the joke, i'm not telling), we were off and running. But I just don't know..they asked me for a transcript, which is never good, because my grades are less-than-stellar... frak.

Party at Pig & Wrona's was pretty solid last night, though I lost my only beruit match. They played six cup, and had, i shit-you-not, THREE Re-RACKS (at 4, 3, & 2), and played throwbacks. I hate throwbacks. I smoked four shots in a row at one point (but didn't get throwbacks, because we were shooting 1-and-1). So the game goes into OT, and with 1 cup left on their side, a freak bounce off of my chest plopped right into the goddamned cup. I hit my shot, but my partner missed, and that was that. Oh the bitter taste of irony (although that's a misuse of irony). I play great O for once, and botch the D, costing us the game. Oh well. Lots of cute girls there. Actually, it was sort of a Who's Who of Law School girls I thought were cute but never talked to. Even the Original Wasp made an appearance...crazy.

Your Song of the Day is "Forever Love" by Anna Nalick, for no other reason than it's been stuck in my head all morning, I don't know part of the lyrics, and I'm about to look them up anyhow. Congrats. It's a good song though, from my next ex-girlfriend Anna.

that should do for today, keep droppin' it like its hot, feel free to post-up and tell me all about how unacceptable it is for me to lose a game like that. I'd have been drummed out of the corps at Dson for a botch like that.. seriously..that mistake hit me really hard...

or just tell me what you think the Team USA lineup should look like.. I built mine around balance and flexibility, hence no Piazza, and the OBP MACHINE Giles leading off.

be good to each other
