fells point is on the way home for Valerio (the other Italian joining us on Friday). I will introduce you guys...
I'll be flying Mustang but I'll check with Carlos, if he still has that small Weber it might fit in my trunk.
I was wondering whether it was going to be that sort of tailgate or not. I've got a mini grill I could bring, or we could just bring something tasty that doesn't need to be cooked on the spot. Does the owner of the parking lot mind us having fires?
Per his Twitter feed, Grant Wahl will be at Slainte from noon until 4, signing copies of his Beck-Ham book.
Everytime I scroll through the guide on TV and "Jim Rome is Burning" appears, I think to myself, wouldn't it be lovely if he was literally burning... roasting on an open fire. And who does he really think he's fooling with the macho act? Dude is obviously more queer than a $3 bill, just look at that thing he calls a mustache.
He didn't play against the Galaxy because he just joined up with Milan 2 days ago. He made his debut tonight as a sub. There's a chance he might start in front of his home fans and family.
He played last night and looked so so. He got smoked on the first America goal and then almost set up the tying goal. What concerns me is that Ronaldinho played most of the game last night, I hope he can go at least a half tomorrow. He's pretty much the reason I'm going : /
He'll get winded and ask to be subbed out so he can eat a few more pies. I'm getting excited for this match. Don't really care about the result, but haven't seen my boys in Blue live in person since 2005.
Oh good. I haven't really seen him since the Olympics last year where he looked fat and grumpy. I want happy Ronaldinho back!!

The Firemen are here every year, so they had tied up all the hotel rooms in the Marriott Waterfront (across from my office), so Chelsea had to find other accommodations. It would have been amusing to bump into one of the players in the lobby.
I will be a scratch for this match. Getting out of Baltimore will be a mess. I have an early flight to San Jose in the AM. I'll send my ticket up with Hillz if you know anyone that wants to go.
