Am I wrong in thinking that the Ducks should just start with overtime? I haven't seen a team dominate like that in quite a while. Just when I was all set to start ranting that I needed to get some sleep the Ducks decided that was enough and scored 39 seconds into overtime. Good enough for me. Since I was working a long day yesterday, I listened to the first period on the computer from a Ducks oriented radio station, or as they called themselves, Orange County's Conservative Radio, found all the way to the right on your radio dial. I listened to the second period on the way home in the car on some random AM station, but this station was broadcasting from a New Jersey perspective. And, to make it just a little surreal, Edzo was doing color commentary. I got home in time to see the third period and the overtime so it was a weird way to watch the game. Oh and if I have to listen to Chris Berman make one more reference to the Hotel California I'm going to make sure he's punted back to where he came from. Hockey is painful enough to watch with the ESPN camera angles and announcers without dragging some jackass in that isn't even connected with the sport for the majority of the season.
Anyway, yesterday came and went and so will the month of June. Not much else is going on. I'm attempting to write a procedure for the consultant so that she can pass it off as her own work. Thankfully senior management is well aware of who does what, or rather, who doesn't do what. Maybe I'll get promoted to something a little more in line with my skill level and closer to the salary I'm looking for. And if not, there's always the option of beoming a high paid escort.
Tonight, if it isn't rained out, which in Pittsburgh is never a given, I'll be at PNC Park watching the Pirates play the Boston Red Sox. Now, I'm not a big baseball fan (tix were given to me by Tom) but I will go to a game or two every year with a group of friends more for the company than for the game. However, on the radio this morning I heard that this was the first time that the Pittsburgh Pirates would play the Boston Red Sox since 1903. 100 years! I found that a little difficult to believe and started asking questions. "Well, there's the NL and the AL and they started interleague play recently and the scheduling was weird and they finally switched things around." No wonder baseball is a dying sport. There are like 500 hundred scheduled games a year for each team and they can't squeeze in one game for every team? There are 82 hockey games and we see everyone at least once. Perhaps they don't play home games with each team every year, but within two years, you can catch just about every single team in the arena of your choice. See, now you know why hockey will always triumph because baseball is dumb. Or something like that.
