    for tonight.

    madmax and i, along with a couple other guys, coach a little league baseball team. it's been discussed in some random thread three months ago. anyway, some of these kids have never played before this year and we're honestly not very good, even though they've shown signs of improvement all season. we finish the regular season 0-whatever, with two of our last three games being very winnable. anyhoo, that's way too much background.

    first playoff game tonight. first storm win. shock. the. world!!!

    GoogleRules, when I was a Little League youth I loved the juice boxes the parents would bring.

    very competitive league...every team makes the playoffs...but they divide up into gold, silver and bronze. so the top 8 teams or so are in one bracket...the next 8 in another...the next 8 in the bottom rung.

    needless to say, we were in the bottom rung. but last night was pure joy!!!!! :D i don't think i'll ever forget that.

    Wait a minute... wait a minute... the OP was from last night... AFTER the last game of the season? And you've already lost the first playoff game? I'm confused! :confused:

    Please explain the status for me, GoogleRocks. :eek:

    It reminds of Knocked Up-

    JONAH
    Hey, Crockett. You still partyin’ with
    Tubbs these days?

    MARTIN
    Come on, man. I’m getting it from all
    angles here. I don’t like it anymore.

    JONAH
    I know, I don’t either. Was it weird
    when you changed your name from Cat
    Stevens to Yusuf Islam?

    MARTIN
    Yeah, it was really awkward.

    JONAH
    All right, man. I got to take off. See
    ya, “Scorsese on coke.”

    Jay GROWLS loudly.

    MARTIN
    What’s that?

    JAY
    Chewbacca. It’s, you know, it’s
    Chewie.
