Two Posts in One DAY

Are you kidding me? Two posts in the same day?

Well, I am writing to inform everyone that the Flying Ninjas won their first softball game of the season. The Flying Ninjas is the intramural softball team of the CS Department Graduate students. In our first three games we lost by large margins -- we're talking 30-40 run deficits each game. By the third game we had managed to finally score a run. As a matter of fact, by virtue of being the visitor and scoring in the first 1/2 inning, we actually held the lead for the smallest of times.

Each game we improved -- slowly but surely. Finally today we pulled out the victory. It must be stated that the team we eclipsed was a group of mostly undergraduate computer scientists. This does not lessen the excitement of the 'W'. In the next few days we have a couple of makeup games. In two weeks we are going to enter the playoffs. Of course we are only in the playoffs because every team makes the playoffs. Again, this sobering fact does not diminish our hope!

Well, send congratulations to the team if you see any of us in the hallways!

I'm still not sure which is more amazing and unlikely: two posts in one day or a team of CS grad students winning an intramural softball game. You be the judge!
