I don't like biking in the gym either, but the X-box makes the time go by really quick. No complaints.

Your gym provides an XBOX while cycling? Geez, what gym do you go to?

It's called "my basement." Very exclusive. You can't get in unless you...um...ask. Like, twice.

Speaking of which, just finished 40 min (meaning 2 games of NHL 2K6), 8.5 miles.

If that's all that can be done, then that's all that can be done. Atleast you're doing something and keeping active.

I'll bring Silent Hill or Halo or Ghost Recon or something like that.

Done and done!

Pylon · 06-21-2007, 09:58 PM

Softball game sucked. Our second loss (to a team we smoked in week 1), marred by sloppy play on our end, strong defense on their end (all our line drives were right at people), and some very close calls, none of which we got.

The only play I take any blame for was in the 1st. With 2 out, the batter hit a line drive that our SS dove for. I run to the bag as he comes up with the ball in his hand, and the umpire signals out. I started off the field, then he changed his call and the runner beat me back to the bag. I checked later to make sure I saw him call an out, which he did, but he changed the call after I looked away. (He got the call right, by the way.)

I went 1-2, 1 R, and would be willing to swear I was safe. (Bystanders said it could go either way, which sounds like a tie to me.....) I ended the game on deck because down by 7 and with 2 outs, our runner decides to try to go from 1st to 3rd on a ground ball to 2nd (no throw was made to 1st, by the way), then was called out for sliding into the bag when he would have been safe. (It's a no sliding league. We lost 2 that way tonight, both on plays where they just lost their footing.)

Pylon · 06-21-2007, 09:59 PM

Almost forgot, did 40 min on the bike...since I didn't get to run the bases much...

Malley · 06-21-2007, 11:17 PM

You know Py sometimes that happens. You lose to teams you stomped early in the year. We lost to a team we beat by 20 and beat by 15. They beat us by 1, but we did only have half our team and some subs....

Pylon · 06-22-2007, 05:41 AM

We had everyone there. We've just been flat the last two weeks. They raised all kinds of hell at the end of the game when our runner "slid" into second. Their entire infield was surrounding the ump and screaming at him (he called the runner safe, but didn't really understand the slide rule. The rule is that once you hit the ground you are out, and it doesn't matter if you slide, fall, or make dirt angels in the process.)

So, that irritated us a bit. There are only 4 teams in this league, so we will play them a couple more times. I'm betting we won't be flat for those.

Malley · 06-22-2007, 05:46 AM

So you cannot slide? Are you kidding me? What are you suppose to do plow someone over?!?! Thats the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Let me guess they have a halo rule with single wall bats and string balls. Not to mention you cant wear metal cleats and everyone on your team has to have the same uniform.

WOW, I hate leagues like that!

Oh well good luck again, I hope you guys dominate.

Pylon · 06-22-2007, 07:25 AM

No uniform rule...but not metal spikes. ASA bats only. And if it is close, you are supposed to give yourself up.

Yeah, it sucks. But what can you do? This is our first year at Forest Park. The guy who runs it writes his own rules. I don't know if we will be here next year or not.

That guy sounds like a pussy to me.

Wow, a no-sliding league.

Can't say I've ever heard of one of those. So if you're running the bases and accidentally trip in the middle of the base path, you're out?

Archangel · 06-22-2007, 04:02 PM

Hey have you seen Brother Pylon??? I wouldn't want him sliding into me either!!!

Hope all is well my Friend, Best Wishes in your tournament!!!

Pylon · 06-22-2007, 06:50 PM

My sliding is fine...rare, but fine. Thanks for your concerns, everyone.

Fixed up a great salad for dinner. Fresh strawberries, granny smith apples, candied pecans, grilled chicken and blue cheese. Good times.

Pylon · 06-22-2007, 09:53 PM

Another 40 min bike ride (and 2 more shutouts on NHL 2K6).

It's been a really good week. I've been consistent on cardio work and my diet has stayed clean all the way through. All in all, a very good week.

Bakerboy · 06-22-2007, 09:56 PM

^

That's how you get results, great job Py.

b_reed23 · 06-23-2007, 04:18 AM

how many days are you lifting now?? I'm considering switching to a 2 day lifting (uppers/lowers) and doing more cardio...whatcha think?

Pylon · 06-23-2007, 06:00 AM

Thanks, Bake.

Well...um...I didn't lift at all this week. Not that I am forgoing the weight...just busy, and I can get the cardio in at night. It will be back, I promise.

Pylon · 06-23-2007, 03:38 PM

Mmm...love me some cheat meal.

Nachos? OK, I'll have a handfull. Ooh, cajun chicken wrap, thanks very much. Extra pizza? Sure, I'll try some. Hey, let's get ice cream!
