16 and counting

Hello Everyone.  Its a happy day today in Germany for 2 reasons:

Number one, the sun is shining bright today, good thing I have to be in the office, wouldn't want any of that sun on my skin. 

Number two is a rousing game of office homerun derby that took place yesterday.  Tramaine and I needed a little break so we decided to turn a piece of tinfoil and a water bottle into one of the most enteraining games of all time.  One drawback was we kept losing the ball amongst the shelves, books, and things in homerun alley. 


*****Not only is the sun out in this picture but it is an accurate representation of the what the tinfoil ball looked like after my hitting session.  Talk about a 2 for 1 on a Thursday, I bet you thought you would only get that kind of value on 2 x Tuesday (if you dont understand you need to watch more television).


Back to the reason I write this blog: basketball, instead of continuing to ridiculous entertain you with specific details of office baseball.  By the way, my patent is pending on the game so dont get any ideas wise guy. Patent pending, patent pending, patent pending.


Another Step Closer to Perfection
By:  Trevor Wittwer  (Editor-in-Chief of www.germanbasketball.blogspot.com)

TV Werne capped off its 3-game roadtrip with an impressive 50 point win over Hertener last Saturday, 107-57.  This marks the fourth game in a row TVW has scored above the century mark. 

They looked to be functiong well as a team.  With Hertener's sole American injured and not participating in Saturday's game, Hertener did not provide much resistance to the offensive onslaught of TVW. 

Defensively, TVW has looked better.  They caused Hertener players to play faster than they were capable, giving way to a number of steals and fast break points, but Hertener got into the lane far too frequently for Rosic's liking,

"We just flat out gave up too many easy buckets,"´commented Rosic after the game.  "We can't do that when it comes down to Hagen and Recklinghausen." 

These are a few aspects that TVW are sure to clean up as they continue on their quest for perfection. 

The players at TVW contiue to have their crossairs aimed on a championship.  Tramaine Aaron, a pivotal point of this team in his blog commented "We have to keep our eyes further down the road in a constant search of this league championship." 

Aaron knows they need to improve every game and keep the end goal of a championship always in the back of their mind. 

"We want that championship, but we need to focus our efforts on the next practice, game, or whatever is next on our schedule.  If we keep improving and take care of our business night in and night out, the wins will take care of themselves.  You got to love the journey though, this §$*! is fun! " Wittwer remarked after practice on Wednesday.  

This §$*! is fun and only time will tell whether or not TVW completes its quest of the coveted league championship.
