Another little stat for everybody: They just played 9 games in a 43 day span. That's a game every 4.8 days. You can't tell me with travel and all that fun stuff that goes along with it that these women aren't completely crapped out right now.
In a screaming telephone call from Arafat's hospital bedside, Suha Arafat told pan-Arab Al-Jazeera television that she was issuing "an appeal to the Palestinian people." She accused his top aides, who are traveling to Paris later Monday, of conspiring to usurp her husband's four-decade long role as Palestinian leader. Uh oh, hell hath no fury like Yasser's wife scorned......
Highest scoring defender...blahfawkinblah. I don't like my defenders to score all the damn time. Except on set plays where they're supposed to go up. Otherwise they should be back doing what they're supposed to. And that is to DEFEND. Not push as far up front as they possibly can to become the highest scoring defender.
DAMN! I should have done it after I yelled, "Run, Forrest, run" at that guy crossing the street who heard and headed straight at me......glaring. EDIT you should have seen that car accident right in front of us as we were walking to PGE. OH....YEAH Shaniqua set off someone's car alarm too.
Then you would have loved the guy who did our play by play in HS.... Bwidget Bwooks bweaks fow bwasket.
LOL I'd probably laugh at him for using it too much. All good things in moderation...except chocolate and fresh veggie soup.
Theorize this: Mitts is only on the roster because Ape is mismanaging the team. Brandi didn't get to play in the opening round of the Olympics because Ape was mismanaging the team. Brandi got to play after the opening round because the vets stepped in and refused to let Ape ******** up the Olympics. Mitts did not play another minute in the tournament because the other players know she is only on the roster because Ape is mismanaging the team. It's nothing personal on my part, Pauk. I have nothing personal against Mitts. I just don't think she's NT-caliber.
Yeah, what she said. And, besides, Pauk, it's not Brandi that Mitts comes in for, it's Pearcey, and Pearcey kicks Mitts' a.ss all over the field.
*sits down on stool* *strums mini guitar* *starts singing* I am not supposed to care *busts guitar string* *gets hit in face* *cuts lip* *stands up* *looks around* *smashes mini guitar over Ape's back* *fails Anger Management class*
Mitts didn't play when the games got to one and done. If I'm coaching the Olympic team and we're in the elimination rounds (after we'd just tied a game with a less talented Aussie team), I'm gonna go with experience, leadership, and the player who has proven herself time and again over the years before I go with a mediocre rookie who has a long way to go in proving herself. Drugs are bad, Pauk, mmkk? Just say no. You can't be serious that you would bench KATE! because she didn't have that great a game yesterday. Hey, while we're at it, why don't we bench Pearcey too, because she wasn't her usual stellar self playing out of position yesterday. The funny thing about sports is you get to base your decisions on more then one game. Granted, yesterday was not Brandi's best game, but when it comes to crunch time there's not many I'd rather have on the field, and Mitts is not one of them. My assessment of Mitts' level of play comes from watching her for several games, both in the WUSA and with the NT, same as my assessment of Brandi's level of play.
Ditto. [Mitts voice] ohhhh...look at me run all the way to the endline on the other side of the field...hm, am I a forward now?....*stops running, stares into space*...*comes back to reality*...Oh sh!t! HELP!!!! Someone cover for me, it's gonna take me a few to get back to where I belong![/Mitts voice]
