Eagles vs. Braves

I enjoyed James's visit to Atlanta this weekend. We discussed several important blog related topics, including:

• finding ways to seem "edgy" without offending our parents, who somehow found this site (dammit!)


• re-crafting our Mission Statement so that it more explicitly involves attacking other Furdells. Especially Google runner-up Phyllis. She put her phone number on her website. You should give her a call!

Anyway, while James was here we saw two baseball games. First we saw, on purpose, the Braves beat the Mets on Friday; then, the next day, we inadvertantly watched the Emory Eagles (my apologies for the poor site) trounce the Piedmont College Totally Valid Diplomas after fragile James injured himself playing basketball. (Which, to be fair, James had already won.)

Anyway, the Emory game turned out to be more exciting than the Braves game, plus free food. It was a tie game with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th when young whippersnapper Josh Barrett hit the ball directly at the 2nd baseman, who threw the ball to first base in a very routine fashion, but somehow he was too late. This kid was fast. He then proceeded to steal second, and was singled in by some other kid. It was quite the excitement.

Little did we know that this was only game 1 of a double header. Perhaps if we had stayed, Emory would have won the second game as well, but it was not to be. Actually, I blame Phyllis. Revenge will be mine!!!!

Ahem. There, I'm getting edgier already.
