beat/win


something seth and i love to do is discuss sports. not really. the teaser in me actually does like to ask seth sports questions. it drives him nuts. i am amazed with the amount of baseball i have watched and still there are things i don't know. for example, i learned the other day that the phrase, "you won the yankees" is incorrect the correct phrase is, "you BEAT the yankees". seth explained the reasoning is that if carson's team "won" the yankees, we would need a bigger car to bring the team of 8-year-olds home. makes sense. it really got me thinking about the motivation teams would have if they really did "win" the players. not just on a little league level but imagine on a professional level-in any sport. say that if a team "won" the lakers you could choose a player from the lakers to be on your team...mind blowing.

I wouldn't mind "winning" a gang of King Kids. I'll bring my giant car over to your neck of the woods. Just listen for the honk.

So I'm laying in bed with Holden and you guys pop into my head... and I think, "Hmmm, it's been a while since I've read my bff's blog I've never met."

And then I think, "Hmmm, the summer is closing in on us FAST and we still haven't gotten together."

And then I read this post and realized that we're really not worthy to hang out with you guys, but hoping we can still make it happen. (Well, Holden may be funny enough, but Danny and I are a little rusty... and kind of chubby.)

Anyway, think about your work schedules, availability, etc and I will fb msg you to see if you guys are game.

I just laughed out loud imagining that conversation between Angie and Seth. Funny stuff. Invite us to dinner finally and we'll bring the Keystone Light.
