I’m off to buy a carton of cig’s cause the gummit is raisin’ taxes on ‘em at midnight tonight from .55 / pack to 1.25 / pack, and I just, got paid today, I didn’t win the lottery.

Fat people, I’m here to tell ya… when they get through suckin’ the cash out of us smoke stacks, or we all quit smokin’, they’re gonna go after another easy target. It ain’t gonna be long before they start taxin’ “Big Macs” and “Bucket’s o’ Chicken”. Once damned near everybody is smoked out. and starved to death, I reckon’ they’ll bring up a “stink” tax… So all yall that’re smellin’ good, but makin’ people’s eyes burn, you better get ready too. Hell, the smokers are all dead, or have quit. The fatties are all skinny or dietin’. In the famouse words of my buds “Cheech and Chong”… “we gotta come up with some new shit.”

Now, did I leave any other possible assinine tax out?

I reckon’ the next tax will be a blog tax. They say bloggin’ will make you go blind. What? You hadn’t heard. It’s not fair for all those people to be bloggin’ and usin’ up the eyebals and fingertips and visual aid doctors (VelociDoctor included) to blog when there’s so many lazy asses sittin’ ’round channel surfin’ and wearin’ out their eye’s and fingertips too, that we can’t make no money off of! We need to tax bloggin’ ’cause…. well, we just do and all the other things that were fun to do like smokin’ and eatin’ and drinkin’ and f*****g we’ve already taxed the shit out of until they’re not possible for the fiscally responsible anymore. Oh! What to do now… my fellow polackticians? When will it end? ‘Nah, nevermind, I know when it’ll end. It’ll end when I’m dead… or at least it’ll end for me then.

Man, Damn! I was just listenin’ to that, and I swear there’s a whole lot more guitar in that song then there are words, so for you all that won’t listen to the music, lemme sum it up rightchere, Just got paid today, got me a pocket full of change… lots of gutiar … second verse same as the first … hella cool blast off into space ending. There. Saved you the download.

It was a great run for us. We left everything on the field. Third in the state is what we are today. If things hold, it’ll be the second time we lost to a team that goes on to be the State Champions… And we took ‘em to 9 innings to get there. Another extra innings game. A fluke play, and it’s game over in that situation. 2-1… Them. 34-6, us. Hey, you can’t get down over that. There’s 34 other teams spread acrossed this state that’d love to trade places with us. There’s only 2 that wouldn’t. Nobody likes to lose. Our boys don’t like it. Until today, We hadn’t lost a ball game since memorial day weekend in a tournament we won.

Flynny has a post about a town close by that kicked a team out of the league for bein’ too good. She wondered what I’d have to say about it and she’s pretty close to right… I had to add my own stink in the comment section. Please don’t laugh to much at my spelling errors there in the comments… it’s late, I’m beat, and I’ve got an early game to coach in the the mornin’ in a tournament where the only way you get “kicked out of it” is by losin’. They’re rewarding success where we’re playin’. Please take the time to peek on over their and check out the fox news link she provides… absolute assholery.

Whew. It’s just past eleven, and we left the house at 7:15 this morning for a 9:30 game. We won that one, but I’ll be damned if I can remember the score, or much about that game at all. The team we beat was from Mentor Ohio, up around Cleveland. That win, and the results of the games a little later in the day, would wind up being enough to make us a 5 seed in the tournament for the Championship.

Around 3:30 we found out we played again at 5:30. We were to play the number 4 seed in the tournament. 10 teams remained before the games startin’ at 5:30. We won that game, but let me tell you… it was not an easy win. It went 10 innings. 8 of the 10 were “regular baseball” innings. When there is a tie, in this tournament, they let you play one more regular inning to try to break the tie. After the eighth inning, you take the players that made the last two outs the inning before, put ‘em on 1st and 2nd, and continue on with you battin’ order. You repeat this process until their is a winner. I think they call it “Texas Shoot Out” or something like that… a little help please Dash? Anyway the person that made the second out of the previous inning is put on second base, and the person that made the third is put on first. We went two innings tonight using that format. It was nerve wrackin’. We were the visiting team, and we were up 8-5 goin’ to the bottom of the seventh, and the other team came back. A shot to left field with the bases loaded, and two outs, put ‘em in that situation. Our ace hung a curve ball, and evidently their motto, like ours is “You hang it, we’ll bang it”. Our left fielder finally got to the ball, hit ‘Neckson with the cut off throw, who turned and gunned down the winning run at the plate with a just in time throw to our catcher. Damn… that was freakin’ close.

In the extra innings, we scored one, and they scored one. Right back in the same situation. The next extra inning, we scored two on a single by ‘Neckson to right field. Now all we had to do was hold ‘em. In situations like that where you’ve got runners on you usually try to burn an out and move the runners around. Well that’s what they tried to do, and it came back to bite ‘em right sqaure in the ass. They tried a bunt, but didn’t get it down. They popped it up to our pitcher, who turned on a dime and fired a shot to ‘Neckson coverin’ second base for a double play. Now they’ve got one runner on first, and two outs. Next batter… fly out to left center on a full count.

Long damned day. At the end of it, we’re 34-5, and in the semifinals. Oh, remember that team we got into it with Thursday… We might have to play them for a bid to the Championship if they win the game they started to play tonight, that was rain delayed until tomorrow, and beat the 1 seed team after that. I hope we can get one more win and make it to the Championship. As it stands now, if we lose tomorrow, we could be as high as 3rd in the state, and as low as 4th in the state. That’s the best we’ve ever been. We’ll see how it shakes out tomorrow…

But… I think she’s probably right…
