The "Even Totally More Random Comments, Questions, and Thoughts" Thread [R]

I have no idea what you're talking about...

 

Unless I have 12 beers in me and its the Braves I can't watch baseball.

 

That's the cure for insomnia - baseball and a 12 pack.

 

I like baseball just because it does feel like it is a fabric of America in a way even football (gridiron) doesn't. Plus it's the perfect sport for summer kind goes along lazily games every day. Don't have to watch or follow every game just check in with the standings a couple of times a week.

But I admit I am not a massive fan. My hope for the Padres every year is to stay relevant until Liverpool and the Chargers get going again in August.

 

Maybe its because I'm from the College Football capital of the world (Atlanta) but for me there is nothing more 'Merican than College Football.

Baseball does have a bit of old-timey American feel but it's also partially-dominated by guys from the Caribbean.

College Football, on the other hand is almost entirely played and watched by Americans.

Note: This has nothing to do with why I like College Football, it's just an observation.

 

Next Sunday we entertain Dubai City on our sod.
This Sunday F1 racing was performing under lights at Dubai for a fantastic race. Lewis Hamilton wins again but the most fun was the young Ausie Daniel Ricardo metaphorically slapping Vettel in the face as he went by, after Vettel tries to run him off the track.
Yup! That's your teammate Daniel.

 

Quite possibly so.
Ricardo is of Italian heritage, how does that work...?

 

I just ordered almost $200 worth of seeds for the garden. That order actually showed some restraint on my part.

 

Fascinating innit..!?

 

I dated a girl that wore one of those red ones - had a tatoo of a seashell on her thigh. Every time I put my ear to it, I could smell the ocean.

My wife and I decided to move back to PA so I can pursue my permaculture work there again. Just found out there is now a footy friendly bar there. It used to be a footy wasteland. The Universe loves me...

 

What bar?

not too far away...maybe if we play Newcastle on the last day for the championship, I'll buy you a beer.

 

The pro game is back in Indianapolis, as Indy Eleven opened its inaugural campaign with a 1-1 draw against the Carolina Railhawks in front of a sellout crowd of 11, 048. This is definitely minor league soccer, with a general lack of quality in the final third, and the Eleven occasionally betrayed a lack of familiarity with each other, as passers anticipated runs that didn't materialize. That said, the team allayed my greatest fear: they didn't stink. Indeed, the had the better of the play for much of the game (after a nervous first 15 minutes). The atmosphere was as good as it possibly could have been in a track stadium; the supporter's group, the Brickyard Battalion, kept the noise and chants going throughout the game.

I hope we'll see some of you US-based Reds in the Open Cup.

 

This is not how to endear yourself to your coach...
