Danny Boy is a man now — an old one
Today the Pocket Rockets’ second-best player (according to Freddie) turns 30! Happy Birthday, Danny. He won’t be with us this weekend because he’s competing in some kind of alcohol decathlon on the Cape. The pregame began at the Last Drop early this morning with a few rounds of shots just after midnight… just me, Freddie, the birthday boy and his designated driver Kimberly.
Here’s a few others we can raise a glass to today:
Pat Tillman
Rebecca Romijn
Ethan Hawke
Maria Shriver
Glen Frey
Sally Field
Mike Nichols
Walter “Big Train” Johnson
James Naismith
John Philip Sousa
Y hoops update
The Misplaced Apostrophe’s welcomed The D Man back to Y hoops with a 35-33 come-from-behind triumph over everybody’s favorite opponent, The Fire Breathing Rubber Dukies. Channeling ‘Mad’ Mike, TFBRD were called for two technicals and an intentional foul. The free-throw barrage helped M’A climb back into the game.
In other action, Fig Newton outlasted Lacks Initiative, and Old and In the Way pwned Oblivious.
Election Hangover
Phew. Glad that nonsense is finally over. Leave it to The Onion to put a smile on my face. Here’s a great video.
Git ‘Er Done topples FRED; Will Face Bruiser’s [sic] in semis
In non-football PR sports news, Git ‘Er Done (Stepha, Vegas, Jos) beat FRED (Danny, Freddie) in the quarterfinals of the YMCA hoops co-ed playoffs Wednesday night. We don’t give game balls in hoops, but if we did it would probably go to Jos, or perhaps erstwhile Pocket Rocket Aubrey Love, for their outstanding three-point shooting that helped us extend the lead late in the game and force FRED to foul and take desperate 3-pointers. Next up, the Bruiser’s [sic] (Mere & Uncle Ron) at 7:30 at the Oak Square Y on May 7.
