Losing Streak

Lately, I seem to have a knack for betting on the wrong horse. At least in person.

First, my Ducks go down to an unranked team in an embarrassing defeat.

The following night, I go to see my hometown Warriors take on the not-so-good Sacramento Kings (by way of $10 seats). Turns out the Kings are on a "hot streak", despite losing a few key players. Again, I am crushed.

To make up for it, I head out on the town with some pals and... lose a game of Battleship to some chicks at a bar. I am humiliated.

So when the offer came across the table to go to another Kings game, I had to think twice about it. I didn't know if I could handle another blow to the ol' ego, but the tickets were free, compliments of the station's cross-promotion with the Kings and the TV show Glee. I figured I couldn't argue with free tickets, so I put on my Kings hat and headed out. Turns out the seats were a whole hell of a lot better than the $10 ones. However, that just meant that I was able to see my newly adopted team get their asses kicked from up close.

One thing's for sure... I ain't headed to Vegas any time soon. At least not until this losing streak finds an end (hopefully before the Ducks go to the Rose Bowl!).

Not all of us at the game were losers though. A certain mustached tape-about-town was seen hanging on the court after the game with Glee actor Matthew Morrison. I've never watched the show, so I've got no idea who he is, but Alfonzo was a fan, and the two got along swimmingly.
