Rick: All I'm saying is it couldn't hurt to apply to a few other contractors. Jeff: Please. Dad, Overkill Systems is the best in the field. No one else is even close! Asking me to work for an Xe Services or a Dyncorp is like asking A-Rod to play for the Cubs! Rick: In this analogy you would be A-Rod? Jeff: Damn close. A-Rod in a slump.

Jeff has the humility to acknowledge that he’s in a slump, but the delusion that he’s A-Rod.

A better analogy for Jeff as a baseball player would be Mario Mendoza, for whom the Mendoza Line was named. It is said to occur at .200, and when a position player’s batting average falls below that level, the player is said to be below the Mendoza Line.

As for Jeff as a Baseball player I’m thinking Bob Uecker, as a military contractor I’m thinking DUCK AND COVER!

When there’s this much ado about nothing, “thinking” isn’t what’s going on.

I saw those damned Yankees lose to that other Chicago team. I would love the Cubs to beat them in the series. I would buy 7 t shirts “Yanks lose to Cubs” and wear one every day. Hell I’d move to Chicago.

BlackHawks pulled it off. This could be the year, Cubbies. Couldn’t do in my Dad’s lifetime. Maybe next millenium.

Well, he’s sure right about DynCorp. Two years of those turkeys was all I could stand, and I was only working in the CE directorate at a stateside AFB.
