Tim In a Nutshell

Should be outlawed.

Let me reword that, intersections/streets without a left hand turn lane should be outlawed. It is rather annoying waiting for an intersection where traffic is so busy only one or two cars get to turn left when the light is green. If you get caught behind one, bugger to you! Even worse is if there is not enough room to get around said left hand turning cars. Arg! Don’t people study traffic flows to prevent the traffic stoppage from happening? Why do cities not hire these people and pay them tons of money (if they do their job right). It would make the city so much better and help reduce stress in the city.

Seriously, having a left turn lane makes things go so much faster.

Oh yea, having a 4 lane road that magically goes to 2 lanes since people park on the road (even where it is not legal), is down right illogical. Defeats the purpose of having 4 lanes if for only one hour in the morning you can use all four. I would gladley take a two lane road with a middle left turn lane over any 4 lane road.

For clarification, this is for residential roads. Always a bugger to navigate at a steady pace.

Alas, things have not been going well for out heros, Balls of Steel.

We lost out last two games, brining us to 2-2-1. It brings us to 5th place out of 8. Hey, we’re still first place of the lower half of the league. There’s a peak of positive in everything.

I think we might have found a theme to our loses… lack of beer. We played the games without any beer, and we didn’t do so well. Maybe the beer makes us a little more roudy and active, or maybe I’m grasping at straws here.

In any case, our next game will be @ 9:00pm at Demetral Field # 3. I might be umping the game before us, so gome cheer us on and for heavens sake, remember the beer!

YAHOOOO!

Looks like the Evil Dead series is coming back with another video game version of the movies. Evil Deal: Regeneration

IGN Review

I have to get this game. In addition to the new Zelda game coming up.

It will be a good video game season.

Updates updates updates, here are a bunch more!

The latest game of Balls of Steel vs Capital Kickers ended in a tie! The final score was 2-2. Balls of Steel managed to pull off the tie even with reduced numbers. We ended up only have 7 players vs the Kickers 12 or so players. We were outnumbered! Though even with the additional fielders playing for the Kickers, Steel still squeaked out a tie. There was some… questionable pitching from the Kickers, a bit too fast. Normally I would not comment on the speed of the pitches. I can hear you all shouting “Tim’s a pansy, can’t kick a fast kickball eh!?” I comment on it since the rules this season forbid any fast or unusual style of pitching, including curve, side arms, etc styles. The Balls of Steel was called on it in an earlier game, so I am rather disappointed the umps and field monitor didn’t mention anything to the kickers.

Don’t believe me, here’s the rules: Rules (PDF Format)

Come watch tonight at 9pm for more Balls of Steel fun! We will be fighting to keep out position as the 1st place team!
