TRx Softball Game 11 Write-Up: I'm Dreaming Of A White (Trash) Christmas

Last night, a reeling TRx took on Quest Diagnostics while fighting for their playoff lives. Going into the game with a 6-3 record, TRx is battling Auxillium (6-3) and Capmark (5-2) for two of the last three playoff spots. One of these proud teams will be on the outside looking in. Luckily, Quest Diagnostics seemed to be just what TRx needed to get back on the right track, as during the first half of the season Quest seemingly made it their quest to lose nearly all of their games, as they entered this contest with one victory on the season. However, they seemed to change tactics in to start the second half of the season, as before the game they attempted to engage in some corporate espionage. After hacking into the TRx computer system and realizing there was nothing of value, they did the one thing they thought would give them the upper hand- mess with the softball attendance spreadsheet, which almost had catastrophic consequences.

Mad Men S4E1 Best Quotes ("Public Relations") (Season 4 Episode 1)

Mad Men is back...  one of the most creative and most visually realistic shows on television.  After finally watching episode 1 ("Public Relations") of this season on AMC, a few things stood out- Lipitor loves the Mad Men target audience (or at least thinks they do- I wonder what Don would think of their advertising).  And for some reason, on my television every Lipitor commercial was about 12 times louder than the actual show...  Stop yelling at me, Pfizer.  But on to the best quotes of the episode, with my general thoughts at the end:

TRx Softball Game 10 Write-Up: The Curse of the Krysta Skull

Last night TRx opened their season against a super-fueled NCO team. Oh wait, they weren't opening their season, they were just having their first game in over a month. The last time something TRx softball-related lasted that long, Mike Berardi was under indictment for various illicit activities. But NCO was certainly super-fueled, as this was the team of former Seafood Factory mainstay "Cokehead," and they must have been under the influence of the very same "caffeine" that caused the original "Cokehead" to currently do midway through a 5 year bid. Although his older, skinner (from excessive use of his brother’s product of choice), and balder brother was still on the team, hoping to win the softball championship trophy to hock at a pawn shop to try to get Cokehead out on a weekend furlough. Perhaps he was going to go to Sonic to make some deals, but the cop staked out there scared him off of those stomping grounds.

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (Recent Links)

Will TRx finally be able to play a game today?  After forfeits, rainouts, and holidays, they haven't been on the field in over a month...  Who will play each of these roles (http://www.zoowithroy.com/2010/07/phillies-as-your-companys-softball-team.html).  My how the world has changed since then (links below the fold)...
