Disc, Iguchi, Bob

Another win on the ever exciting BUDA Ultimate field, featuring a whole lot of craptastic, wind-blown Ultimate. We were on top and stayed on top of the war of attrition from the beginning, but it really was a little sickening - just loads and loads of awful turns, and even if you're a half-way sensible player, you realize quickly that punting it is the best strategy, given the circumstances, a whole lot of the time, turning you too into a turnover factory. Just to give you a general concept of the quality-level, the last pull of the day landed in the endzone - their own endzone. Which raises the "what happens if you catch that?" question, one I hope will never actually be answered.

Parentals, Aaron and Ellises are celebrating Easter down in SA by, at last check, eating Chinese food. Huh? Eggs, chicks, bunnies, spring and Asian cuisine. Yep, pretty much... I came home to grade tests (meh) (performance-wise, that is) and then watched a ludicrously boring half of NBA basketball (Lakers v. Suns, and it turns out Kobe shoots. A LOT.). And now it's here. Liz just called, she's doing well and rumor has it the Bishops have a new puppy. Marathon and Patriots' Day are tomorrow, so short day at work and then I'll hopefully get to hang out and watch some baseball.

Baseball - speaking of - I fed the upstairs neighbors cats this weekend (you can't buy entertaining narratives like this!) and took a moment to watch some Sportscenter. Iguchi, the second baseman for the White Sox, made one of the sickest plays I have seen in quite some time. Here's the video, and here's a photo:



Ridiculous! Dude comes charging in on a bouncer up the middle, lays out into a catch and from beyond horizontal zings it to first for the out. Oh, and as a complete side note, this was in a 4-2 game with a man on in the 9th. Insane-o.
