I've been watching ESPN, Houston and Chicago, and I don't get it!
How is "World Series" defined?
Is the whole world of baseball defined as The United States of America or am I missing something?
I thought the Japanese and Cubans were pertty good.
Can someone me help here?
And how about the Chicago "White Sox". Does "sox" translate into "socks". If so then why do they play in "Black Sox"?
Looks like beards and spitting are "In" too.
Schumacher came from nowhere, a starting postion of 13th to finish on the bunda (ass in portuguese) of Alonso in 2nd. He is the best whether we like it or not!!!
Good to see Jenson there, he and BAR might have some surprises for us this year.
Renault; well what can anyone say, it's just a pleasure to have a new top team.
Must say that Williams (I'm an Aussie so I support Webber) is in a deep hole. Doesn't seem to be the drivers, they come in on equal times.
I've been neglecting sport and have started to get more "Political".
Let's look at what is going on in sport:
1. Cricket: The MCC want to ban Australian captain Ricky Ponting's revolutionary cricket bat ahead of this year's Ashes series in England.
My comment: If England don't take the first test in the upcoming "Ashes" series they will not win one.
2. Tennis: A stab in the dark is that the up coming French Open "Roland Garros" will go to a woman from Begium (2 possibilities) and a man from Switzerland (only one).
3. Rugby "Super 12" Style: The Crusaders are continuing to post points (they should considering the amount of ex-internationals they have). I'm a Brumbies supporter but my money is with the Waratahs.
4. Golf. A big congrats to Vijay for his recognition into the "Hall of Fame". Small countries like Fiji don't have an opportunity to have their very own sporting hero too often.
5. Looks like Chelsea have it wrapped up.
6. Looks like Barca have it wrapped up also.
Well, I'd put an image in here but Barca don't need help. They are the best and they will win!!!!! Ronaldinho didn't win the FIFA footballer of the year by accident.
7. I don't have a 7. Let's see what happens from here.
England must be wondering what to do to win a game.
Last night they were beaten by France 18-17 although they scored 2 tries to 0.
If my numbers are right that's 8 losses in 13 games for the world champs.
At the moment Wales and Ireland look the form sides but don't write off the poms yet.
Hewitt had his chance but was beaten by a better player on the day. Dreams normally don't come true so I guess that is a fitting end for "C'mon" If any player other than an Australian was to win the Aussie open then who better than Safin. He has been there twice before and earlier he was talking about destiny (I'll look for the post about destiny that I read earlier and put a link here later).
He's a real personality; a nice guy.
For those of you who did not see the final then you did't really miss much. The fighting spirit of Hewitt was not really there. Maybe overwhelmed by the occasion.
It is Brazilian time so I'll come back and add some decent stuff to this post later. Time to go to bed. Actually I glad that it's over; I'm sick of waiting till 00:30 and getting up at 6:30 for a match to start.
Well, I can't say that I like the little upstart but you must admire the Lleyton Hewitt never say die, never give up attitude. It has taken him over 14 hours of tough tennis to reach the final against some really tough competitors.
Safin, in my opinion, was the only one that could have beaten the Federer type of game and he did!!! His metal toughness has improved over the last 12 months and he was runner up last year.
I admire them both.
We are going to be in for a fantastic final.
Come On!!!!!!!!!!!!
