Hot Dog!
This is the time of year when beisbol is actually interesting. The wiener won the race over my boy Italian Sausage in the big race tonight at Miller Park in Milwaukee. Coach also saw the Brewers retain first place with a 3-2, 2 out grand slam in the bottom of the 11th. The Twins also took 1st place with a comeback win over the Suck Sox.

Macbeth
Hello friends. If you're lookin' to get your Shakespeare on this October I'll be swinging a sword in a production of Macbeth at the Minneapolis Theatre Garage. I've attached the link for tickets, times and directions. http://www.torchtheater.com/
There are two pay-what-you-can nights, an opening night gala and a post-show Halloween party on 10/31 if that strikes your fancy.
Hope to see you there!

Punchies 2008
It's award season and time for the Punchies, the annual gathering of Bulldog players to give respect to the finest players of this past season. It is also a time for fellowship, wine, and song (get a sitR). We don't know where it's going to be or what time, but save Saturday, September 27 as a fun day on your mental, paper, and computer calendars.
Any thoughts on new award categories or party place? Add it to the comments on this blog.
Summer is almost over and I'm sad. It means a close end to comfortable leisure biking time. This kick ass (Gordie term) video from Doomtree will likely help me get through the winter.

Sabotage (Part 1) - 1998
Coach's brother is in this. It was filmed in Rochester, MN in October of 1998. It was originally meant as a high school anti-smoking video, which turned into a loving homage to the greatest music video of all time, Beastie Boy's Sabotage.

Take Back Labor Day
Coach and some of your teammates are going to rock out on Harriet Island September 1 with Atmosphere, Lupe Fiasco, Billy Bragg, Mos Def, Steve Earle, Allison Moorer and Tom Morello. It's only $10. Get a ticket. It can be your little RNC protest without all the tear gas.

Lollapalooza
I never want to go back to being a serf after being included in the backstage ruling class. Yes indeed.

Lallapalooza Journal
9:59 AM Boarding plane for Chicago along with a professional kickboxer or what is just a really sad poser.
10:00 AM Woman ahead of me in the plane in Minneapolis - Is there a time difference in Chicago (from here).
11:05 AM Man in seat across the aisle has a nose of gushing blood.
11:10 AM Woman next to nose guy to flight attendant - Why do I have to have a bag of bloody napkins under my seat?
Flight attendant - Because that's the way it is.

Bulldog Down
Photo Caption: 80s Country Singer Mickey Gillis on a sub shop wall in Kansas City
Maya got worked by a softball that hit her in the collarneckbone on an errant throw as part of a double play attempt. This was the scariest thing I had ever seen in my five years as player/coach. With the grace of Jeebus she is just now regaining her ability to walk and speak without a lisp. My greatest regret as Coach is that I didn't have whiskey in the first aid kit to kill the pain.
On a positive note, ringers Jill and Amy came in to help continue the hotness . . . Our our winning streak. We made the win over 1st place Capella University (13-6) feel easy thanks to smart fielding and timely hitting. This year we have guaranteed a winning record plus third place in the league. This may not sound like a lot but it is considering that we didn't even have a white board (or Mel Jensen's glove) five years ago.
Side Note
Meg is back with hits that landed her on second and third bases the past few games.
Sad Note
Tomorrow is the last game of the season.
Super Note
Pinata party at Coach's this Saturday.
Saucy Note
The Punchy Awards back at Buca this year? I say yes. You say?

God Rocks...this Thursday
From Sexiest Man (Pete):
Hello there. I did a movie last summer called God Rocks and it will be screening at the Heights theatre this Thursday. It's a classic coming of age story about a Christian battle of the bands. A mockumentary if you will. Lucky for you I play the director of the film so you don't have to spend an hour and a half looking at my face, just listening to my voice as I conduct the band interviews. No worries if you can't make it, but if you got nothing going on this Thursday come on up to The Heights. Here's the info:

Axel F in E Minor
Do you think we are the only one's that enjoy Tyler's music? Check out Capella's #21 in the background of this video.
We beat the Hot Sakes 19-3 last night. Josh (new guy) hit a home run over the left field fence in his debut Bulldog at bat. It must be the double batting gloves. Jeff must feel threatened at the AlphaMale. He'll have to get over it. Welcome Josh.
Two More Notes
Liz and I decided to make a documentary about the Bulldog and everyone we destroy. FYI - when you paid me for this season it included a full release for me to use your likeness in any way I see fit.
We play Capella the second to last game of the year at 9. We challenged them to an old fashioned pre-game drink-off. They accepted, so let's start to train and bring the pain.
