49er’s Squeak By Eagles

4th week of the NFL and I am exhausted. My 49er’s are 3-1 (Yeah!!) after beating the Eagles today –  by 1 little point.

I had to take aspirin and a nap after the game because of my Force induced headache. My fingernails are chewed up and the inside of my right cheek is gnawed raw. The TMJ is beginning to add to the misery. I just don’t handle game day stress like I used to.

What is a Force induced headache? It’s when you concentrate with every ounce of your being, to will the play(s) to go your teams way. I had to use the Force a lot today. It paid off in the last half of the game when we  got our Mo-Jo going, and took the game back. Whew! That one was too, too close.

I don’t really believe that I can influence the game.  I also don’t believe that I help 737’s overcome gravity and gain altitude. And I certainly do not believe that using the Force, crossing my fingers and chanting “please, please, please” will fix the computer system I’m working on.

But then, why take any chances?

Learning The Hard Way

One more pre-season game left for the SF 49ers. I wonder what game plan coach Harbaugh has up his sleeve this week?  I’m glad that he did not succumb to peer pressure and make his 1st string play the whole time the Texan’s 1st string played. What is the logic in playing the guys you know will stay on the team? Let them practice during practice. That’s what it’s for.

Coach Harbaugh has some tough decisions to make soon. I do not envy that job! The rookies and new guys look great to me. If the guy is tough and puts forth tremendous effort, without being cocky – he’s a keeper in my book. Coach probably has more criteria to go by, but still it must be hard to make the cuts before the regular season begins.

I’m really looking forward to Thursday’s game (9/1/11) against the Chargers. Good thing the next day is my Friday off. This means my alarm won’t go off at 3:00 AM. I know I will be staying up late since the kick-off time is scheduled for my normal bedtime (7:00pm PT).

Yeah, I know my hours are disgusting. But it’s really nice to have most of the afternoon left to my own devices  🙂

Go Niners!

The Battle Has Been Won!

BRAVO, 49ers, BRAVO!!! 

I just knew we had an offensive line somewhere. And fast guys with good eye-hand coordination.

Thank you, Coach Harbaugh for finding them!!

A short post tonight because I have nothing to bitch about. Isn’t that great?
