Bulldog Softball- May 20 2009

May 20, 2009

Dear Diary,

Tonight was Bulldog softball!  WE WON!!!  I can't remember the exact score, but I think it was 18-10…maybe 12-8…but don't quote me on that.  We played the Habitat for Humanity team.  They were really good sports…some of them were really cute (not as cute as the Gong Hitter's pitcher though…heart him!!!)  It was SOOOO hot, Diary, 88 degrees!  Anyway, we (Karl, Michael, and Me) got there early to "scout" the other teams.  Truth be told, Diary, I was looking for boys…Karl and Michael were checking out the competition (although I think Michael has eyes for some of those Capella girls.) Anyway, the game started sooooo late, 9:40PM!!!  It was crazy!  Get this…apparently some dude from another team said "Bulldogs got nothing!" to which Coach Karl replied…"We have a keyboardist (Tyler), an A.V. team (Dave) AND a singer for the National Anthem (Tyler's Dad's Best Friend)."  WE GOT IT ALL!!! HA!!!!

Anyway, everyone played really well.  Janna was a highlight…she's SOOOO good at 3rd base (and I don't mean what you think I mean, Diary…Ha Ha!)  Levi was also a really good pitcher! Todd can throw the ball so F@$%ing FAR!!! My favorite part of the night was when Cameron said to me "is it bad that Janna is better at softball than me?" to which I replied "I'm sure you are better at a lot of things than Janna…like having a penis."  OH…and…the last call of the night was controversial…apparently, Erik might have stepped off the bag but Gordy called the runner out anyway (bulldog win!)…You know Gordy calls 'em likes he sees 'em! 

I 've got to get some sleep, Diary.  It was a late night!  'til next time!

Love,
Jackie

Cam : Gordy wishes you a speedy recovery. He had a pabst with the bulldogs after the game. Oh and bdogs win again.

Here's my English Pale Ale, hand crafted using a combination of raw grain and extract home brewing techniques. This was my last bottle out the five gallons I made this winter. Initially it was suspected of giving me a four day fever but later this proved to be unfounded. Thanks to then-pregnant Alewife for living smell of the boiled malt extract and hops on brewing day. I love that smell, the aroma of accomplishment. Once you get past that first day, the effort require to home brew is non-smelly and totally manageable (this was pre-Sig).

Here's my beer geek review:

Appearance
Burnt orange color (Hook 'Em Horns!). The head develops fine off white bubbles that quickly dissipate.

Nose
Citrus smell from the Cascade hops (similar to Sierra Nevada Pale Ale). Smells good!

Mouth
Smoother and less spicy than Sierra Nevada. Hoppy and crisp, slightly sweet, light malt, thirst quenching. Slight yeast, more so as the bottles aged and at the bottom of the glass.

Body
Thin. This is a session brew. Two 22 oz bottles causes a warm tingling sensation in extremities and temperal region (5.4% ABV).

Improvements
Enhance head retention and creaminess. Rough up the round edges for a greater hop bite and finish without going overboard.

Next brew: Hopefully I can birth an IPA of West Coast Pale Ale in June. Next winter I'd like to make a Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale clone and my first lager.

Funny: Miller Lite commercial touting it's superior taste because it's hopped 3x.

Live Game Updates

Stuck in traffic, I hope to share live game updates tonight with the assistance of miniature computer.

Interim Coach Karl: Coach, we won tonight. We have some swingin ladies on our team, good to see. Capella still sux. Bulldog rules the universe.

Man Down

Coach might not be of much use for the next month due to Epstein-Barr beating him down. Rach, can't you pull some strings for me?
According to Wikipedia, my special condition is "caused by multi-tasking and talking to girl named Morgan."

Coach's wife, I multitasked but I swear I never talked to Morgan.

Wednesday's game is at 7pm. If I am awake I can intimidate the opposition with threatened drooling.
