“it is a dream of ourselves as better than we are.”
what an appropriate quote for the conversations taking place in my life right now. originally said by a. bartlett giamatti, former commissioner of baseball. just a thought.
so i have two fantasy baseball teams. one is in a league with a bunch of friends where there are eight teams and we pick a 24-man roster from both national and american leagues. this team consists of players like barry bonds, curt schilling, todd helton, shawn green, jim edmonds and john smoltz. they shall be known as “my all-star team.” my other team is in a league with a bunch of guys from my division where there are ten teams and we pick 40-man rosters from only the national league. this team consists of jim thome and eric gagne followed by a long list of mediocre players. this team shall be known as “my sucky team.”
now that i’ve clarified things, i can talk about the teams without you guys getting confused. and if you don’t care about baseball, you can let it go in one ear and out the other. happy? happy!
so my all-star team is doing well. the only improvement i could make is to pick up a starting pitcher who gets more strikeouts, as i’m third from the bottom in that category. my steals are also low, but i’m not too worried about them…
as for my sucky team, i sort of think they’re hopeless, but if i can continue to fluctuate as far up in the rankings as third from last, i suppose i’ll be happy.
so we just got back from lunch, and the fluorescent light bulb directly above my computer desk has burned out. i wonder how long it will take to get it replaced.
in other news, i am well into my second day of trying to track down the portion of code that sets atmospheric density in our sim. sounds easy, right? wrong.
what a dull day. i hate wednesdays.
