Good Sports Day

I think you can get there with your Canadian passport.

I can if I fly. Strangely Canadians are allowed to fly to the US but not allowed to drive there. I’m not complaining. Americans aren’t even allowed to fly to Canada yet, so the US is being very gracious to let us come if we want.

If you come, thank Trump. He walks softly but carries a big generous stick.

lol. The idea of that bull in a china shop “walking softly” made me chuckle.

america is great because:
it is one to nothing and has been since time began
the batter walks away from the plate to swing his bat at an insect
in football he would have penalized five yards for a false start or something

dodgers/rays lose/win in a series watched by approx 25% of previous tv audiences
if i was afraid of that trend, i would run for president
make baseball great again
baseball is still great
maybe it was never that interesting
neither am i

a UN panel of experts concluded that the introduction of land mines to baseball would be wrong
perhaps we could consider a ban on protective equipment
starting with masks for the umpire and catcher
then batting helmets
people would watch that

Outlaw cups!

and gloves
where does it say that you get a glove?
oh, it’s a line shot at the short stop and he loses the use of his right hand for life!
let’s go to the replay
i think that’s arterial spurting, frank
gonna leave a mark, let’s have a word from our sponsor

I think Bas Rutten competed in UFC. His opponent made good showing and now that I watch it later, I know Bas had to work extra hard for that.
Bas is #1 pancrase/mma

The first smart thing you’ve said since you arrived. Welcome! I remember you from Park Bench. I also remember why we never spoke but that’s another subject.
Now a word from our sponsor…Take this not that. Do this not that. Drink this not that. Side effects may occur. Consult a Physician should you become drowsy or start to experience anal seepage. Otherwise, take two and call me in the morning. Safe for consumption of children.

Michele, he is a CONVERT.

That sounds crazy like some of the DC Lobo comic books I used to read where they had these ridiculously violent competitions or even Arnold’s movie with the TV show, The Running Man.

But you sound really bummed out about being an American.
You sound really plain.

We are not asking you if you are racist or white supremacist. What we want to know B, is did you convert to Islam?

Yes bill dis you convert from Hathos to Islam or Islam…oh, it does not matter. Hathos and Islam Hathos.

I don’t know what day this was back in 1977, but it was a good day in California. Awesome strongman competition. I found watching this more fulfilling than anything in recent years.

green bay at sf
stands empty
some virus thingie
tv plays crowd sounds like a synthesizer tuned to the result of the play
like a laugh track on a sitcom

You know, I wondered how a lack of in-person fans would affect F1 (the only sport I follow, and then only through habit). It didn’t. I don’t even notice if fans are there or not. The drivers say it’s different for them with no cheering for the winner. As I don’t tend to win any races, that has no effect on me.

You don’t win because you don’t compete. Not that competing would help your game at all. Some people were just born watchers.
