DIS Dads DDC XXVII: Penguins in Paradise!

[cj9200]

Well, the second longest winning streak in NBA history ended last night. Not a bad run. I wonder which will last longer, the Heat winning streak or a Marlins losing streak?

Considering that the Marlins will have 162 opportunities to lose, my money is on them. I can see them easily having at least 2 or 3 20+ game losing streaks this year.

Speaking of baseball, tomorrow is Ryder's 1st birthday. The Brewers and White Sox (DW's favorite team) are playing an exhibition game at Miller Park, so we got tickets - 15 rows behind home plate - for $10 each. We made him a little jersey with "Ryder" and the number 1 on the back. Tried to call the Brewers to have them put his name on the scoreboard for his birthday, but their &*$#% computer system is only set up for regular season games. I might be able to talk to the guest relations people at the stadium tomorrow, though.

Good luck. We're all counting on you.

Oh, and happy birthday Ryder!

Maybe he got the Garfield and Odie Feast.

Happy birthday to the youngest Rafiki. Is there a logo on the front of the shirt? If so, which team?

You made me curious so I looked it up. The longest losing streak in MLB is 24 games, set by the 1889 Cleveland Spiders. Spiders?

Since 1900, the team with the longest losing streak in baseball was the Philadelphia Phillies, who lost 23 consecutive games from July 26 to August 20 in 1961.

Come on Marlins, you can do worse than that! If they have a chance to break the streak this year and are playing at home, I may just go to the ballpark.

Hello fellow Disney Dad's. I have been on these boards for more than 10 years (mainly DVC related) and finally found this location. I am an advid WDW fan. Spent many times there growing up in the 70's and early 80's. After having my first child in 2000, I convinced my wife to purchase into the DVC and have been going regulary since. We love it. I am the orchastrator/quarterback for planning our trips out. I already have the next two years mapped out. We have three children 12 yr old son, 10 yr old daughter and a 10 month old baby boy. Looking forward to spending time with you fellow Dad's in the future.

So you're saying I should draft Marlins in tonights draft?

Well, the more I think about it, it really does take some exceptionally ridiculous level of sucking to lose 20 straight games in baseball. What are the odds that you play 20 games and don't once face a pitcher that is just having one of those games when every pitch looks like a beach ball, or the other team is resting key players and they aren't scoring runs?

It will take some epic sucking to exceed a 27 game losing streak, but I've got faith.

Yes. Absolutely.


And I'll be drafting Blue Jays...

Welcome to the madness!!!

 

[Goofy + 3]

In case anyone was wondering... The camera down the throat was uneventful. Propofol was great but not the hallucinogenic I was hoping for. And there's nothing weird in my stomach. Doc says that's good news, but I took it as bad. Nothing weird in there means they don't know what's going on. New batch of pills to take- oh, goody. Not been posting lately as I'm nervous to be on the disboards after last week's virus. Don't want to make the IT people angry. You wouldn't like them when they're angry.

 

[BigTikiDaddy]

Lunch break in the madness...likely already done 7-8 grand in sales myself, and that was before the rush started... Bleh

Thank you, finally! Now I can stop hearing about it every 3 minutes. Glad LeBron took the high road and complained about the officiating.

The Marlins should easily be able to surpass the record.

Welcome to the group. I see Randall has already bestowed upon you a number.

Sorry they still haven't figured it out. Hopefully the new pills will work and you are on your way to recovery.

The IT guys must know what the virus was. They can put it directly into the firewall and prevent it from getting through. Just ask them.....and include a 6 pack with the note. That usually gets things done around here.

 

[Bo Duke]

Well, Hopefully UPS will have an overnighted package for me tomorrow. One of the vendors that does work for us offered us Milwaukee Bucks tickets. 4 tickets 7 rows off of the floor and includes parking and entry into the court side dining.
Do I like basketball that much. Not really. (wife does but doesn't ever watch it) Do I even know who is playing for the Bucks this year. Nope. But for a free night on the town (minus gas) how can i say no. Last time we went (which we got tickets from these guys a couple of years ago) the ticket price was around $230 per ticket.

I can't turn down free. Now for our half time entertainment, (I looked it up) Vanilla Ice will be performing.



And Welcome sgtpet

No pink elephants? That's disappointing.

Are you sure you don't have these things confused? Maybe you're the one getting ready to Hulk out, and that's why you feel a little funny.

Sorry you still don't have answers. That's got to be frustrating.

The Marlins play the Twinkies in April and June. That'll bust up any losing streaks.
