Ya, they only burned down your white house! I hope they do. I don't see how they can justify equestrian and get rid of softball. And some up to dates for you homers out there http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/080821/sports/oly_ioc_elections_2
Actually, as much as this sucked for the U.S., this was probably the best possible result of this game to get softball back into the Olympics. I know we wanted to see the U.S. women take gold, but I personally would prefer to see generations upon generations have the opportunity to compete for gold, rather than have this team win it and put the final nail in softball's coffin due to "U.S. dominance". So dry your eyes, and send a thank you card to Japan because they may have just saved softball's collective ass. The game now has golden proof that it's competitive at this level. Also, have I mentioned that I think Yukiko Ueno is a badass? ----- In other news, Solo just caught something. Granted it was on the ground so she didn't ahve too much of a choice, but I just wanted to let you know that yes, I do notice that she does catch some things.
Eh, we needed a new one anyway. That old thing was musty and moldy. Equesterian I can see. Goes along with the military themed events that the Olympics are anchored in. What I can't see: trampoline, rhythmic gymnastics, BMX bicycle racing (go back to the X Games!), and synchro diving (we get that with Brazillian soccer anyway. Why have a duplicate?)
Brazillians not stupid. They keep attacking down Mitts' side. I think I've seen them on Chalupa's side maybe twice. Oh, and Mitts....********ing STUPID with that foul near the top of the box. WTF??? She's still trying to get that second yellow. *shakes head*
Brazil is trying to do a repeat of the WWC and get her a second yellow. It's their game plan right now.
Likely story ... Noooo way the horse does all the work eff that. Lame. Gay. I agree with the sorta, but if that holds true then you might lose alot of the snowboarding events in the winter olys that I just absoultely Lurvveee!
*$%&#@!($#%*^$!(@*!%^$(#&!!!!!! My taping of the softball game this morning was an epic fail. *needs to learn to read a TV schedule* I'm so used to stuff being tape-delayed that I dind't even think twice about it. Now I see that it was on live-ish at 3 here on the west coast.
Jill Ellis looks like she's going to puke. Actually, I think she always looks like that during games.
Holy shit. I just posted song lyrics in the N&A PBP thread, thinking it was here. == I'm really starting to like the Flobots song, 'Handlebars.' Look at me Look at me Driving and I won't stop And it feels so good to be Alive and on top My reach is global My tower secure My cause is noble My power is pure I can hand out a million vaccinations Or let'em all die in exasperation Have'em all healed of their lacerations Have'em all killed by assassination I can make anybody go to prison Just because I don't like'em and I can do anything with no permission I have it all under my command I can guide a missile by satellite By satellite By satellite and I can hit a target through a telescope Through a telescope Through a telescope and I can end the planet in a holocaust In a holocaust In a holocaust In a holocaust In a holocaust In a holocaust
In other news, though I'm not PMS'ing, I can't help but wonder. I'm downloading both ELO songs and old Metallica stuff. Go figure.
Not a bad game plan, that. I would've found it rather amusing, however, had there been some diving getting carded.
