it was a long night. partly because jeff cho gave us the wrong directions and directed us to sincheon instead of sinchon! for those of you who aren’t in the know, that’s about an hour-and-a-half diversion. grrrrr! but that wasn’t my biggest gripe of the night… fucking zordan. but i’ll save that for another post.

ana is cute ;)

team reshane vaults into first place

May 26th, 2009

after a dominating day at the plate and on the mound, team reshane jumps 8.5 points and vaults into first place!!!

i’m now leading the league in runs and home runs, with strong numbers in rbi, wins, saves, strikeouts, and whip. my stolen bases, batting average, and era could all stand to improve, but hopefully picking up michael bourn will help with the stolen bases and the fact that my pitchers are actually pitching well now will lower my era. anyways i’ve been steadily rising over the past month thanks to my secret weapon: joe mauer!

i’m glad i’m doing well. this is actually my first fantasy baseball team since i last managed in 2006. since then i’ve always been away for large parts of the summer, so i’ve had to switch my focus to fantasy football. it would be nice to add another trophy.

on saturday i met up with ilmook at his place in dogok, and i met his friends, jamie, jon, jason, and lisa. all of us are from chicago, all but lisa are from u of i, and all but myself are korean. all i can say about ilmook’s $5 million tower plaza penthouse: wow. afterwards we took the train to sinsa for some coffee and patbingsu, then ilmook and i headed back to dogok for some shabu shabu:
