Posted by mep | Filed under life, sports
So i decided to mix up the schedule a bit – try something new – mix up the routine and see what i see.
off to the gym at 3pm. ugh
takes twice as long to get there mid day due to traffic. had to wait for equipment. took more than twice the amount of time to [...]
Opening Day – again
Posted by mep | Filed under sports
How nice it is to be at the office and hear the words: “can you go to the game tonight – opening day”
Indeed I can, and did, score some free tickets to Padres opening day. Back to back season openers for me – and not even needing to pay for the tickets – sweet.
New Shoes
Posted by mep | Filed under life, sports, tech
My new Nike Free 5.0 shoes arrived via UPS from Road Runner Sports today. Nice shoes. I, for one, am a fan of getting as much of the ‘technology’ out of shoes. Over the years I have had lots of ankle/foot issues that I’m convinced have stemmed from shoe ‘advancement’. They do feel the [...]
Mexican TV for World Cup
Posted by mep | Filed under rants, sports
Feel free to add this one to the not so obvious reasons to live in San Diego:
For big sporting events, one generally has the option of catching the TV feed from Mexico. I clearly don’t understand what they are saying, but when it comes to World Cup TV, they make more sense to me than [...]
Improve the game – pelase

This American has a few suggestions to make the World Cup better:
if it’s 0-0 after 90 minutes of play, keep going until someone scores or someone dies
nill-nill is not a way to ‘dress up’ a 0-0 draw
Cheerleaders – more cheerleaders please
The bonus/injury time is too warm and fuzzy – play over or around the fallen [...]
simple math problem?

it seems like I have been picking on mlb.com a bit too often, but come on simple math boys:
check the the 2nd inning runs and follow it to the R column 0+4 = 3?
CMS lags ASS

This is what happens when your Content Management System (CMS) lags your Automated Scoring System (ASS).
Look at the column that starts with ‘H’ – it needs to be a 0 (not a 1) for a no hitter
yet another game
Posted by mep | Filed under sports
Gotta love it – yet another last minute Padres game. This time the attendance was a little more than half the opener, which makes for an easier visit to the ballpark. Parking, traffic, bathrooms, everything was a breeze.
I do get a kick out of San Diegoans – the filed thermometer said 59 degrees, yet every [...]
Opening Day
Posted by mep | Filed under sports
Yesterday’s plan was to go to work, catch a few opening day games on MLB via the internet, and hit the gym on the way home.
Around 1pm someone jammed a ticket for opening day for the Padres under my nose and said, go! Who am I say no. I’m no Padres fan, but I’m a [...]
