Friends with sick senses of humor

Well, [livejournal.com profile] aurictech has come through. Today, I received his payment on the NL standings bet. But...

The bloody bastard sent it in a condolence card! "In Deepest Sympathy at This Time of Loss"! I swear, once we stop laughing, you are doomed, buddy!

(I still haven't heard from one of the bettors. Please contact me if you haven't sent the money yet. penguin_boy@mindspring.com I really need this cash, it's not just beer money for me. Thanks)

Don't even try to say that you couldn't use the laugh. ;-)

One of the reasons I chose that specific card was the sailboat on the bay; it reminded me of McCovey Cove.

At any rate, it could have been worse. At least my favored team was already done for the season. It could have been [livejournal.com profile] bunyip who sent such a card....

I was thinking of it, but you beat me to it. :)

Hey, you still have some season left, don't want to jinx it.

But with grand slams in the first inning, y'all seem to be doing fine in the curse breaking department.

Yeah, it's pretty unbelieveable from tonight. Let's see what Zam does tomorrow.
