What happened to my teams?

Well it was another busy weekend for me, but it was a lot of fun. The only thing that would have been better is if the Blues and Rams would have won this weekend. I went to both games and didn't get to see a win. My boss commented to me this morning that he was glad that I didn't head out to San Diego for the Cards game because I obviously was bad luck to the teams here. He did tell me that I was on tv at the Blues game on Saturday night in the 3rd period which was kinda cool...I moved down to seats in the lower bowl since there were so many extras down there. I guess with the Cards game people decided to follow a winning team rather than see the Blues struggle. I will say though that the Blues game had some good points to it and I think eventually the guys will settle into a groove and actually start playing well. Lalime does need some work though - he gave up 7 goals. Some of which were not completely his fault. I blame Salvador for the whole penalty shot thing. He knows better than to cover up the puck in the crease and he also knows that Lalime can't make the saves when it comes to penalty shots and shootouts so there are 2 strikes against him. Mayers had a good night...I was quite surprised. I think he has decided to step it up a little this season since he's the veteran on the team. Anyway, I hope that they win the next game I go to - whenever that may be.

The Rams were pitiful this week. I thought we got off to a great start with the touchdown on the kickoff but then it went down hill. Tom assured me that the Seahawks were going to lose it at some point and the Rams would take advantage of it, but it never happened. The defense needs some major work. I'm surprised that it wasn't more of a blow out but I guess the Hawks had there problems too considering we were able to score 31 points.

As a result of this past weekends games, I can say I officially suck in Fantasy Hockey and Pro Football Pickem. I'm last in the one fantasy hockey league and 2nd to last in my football league all thanks to me having faith in my hometown teams.

It was back to work today after all that fun and I was beat that's for sure. I spent my day working on account reconciliations and calculations until I finally couldn't think and decided at 5:30 that it was time to call it a day. I guess after 9 hours that's alright to do. Tomorrow I get to get back into the groove of more spreadsheets...oh how I love Excel! Thank goodness everyone at work is fun to hang out with otherwise I'm sure I would be more stressed than I already seem to be.

I'm just wondering if the announcers were asking what was up with that guy sitting to your right (lol). I mean,three Blues fans and some weirdo from Seattle (lol). And I still can't believe that the Seahawks WON! They tried their hardest to lose. But I guess the Rams wanted it even less (lol).
