Its a lot of work to maintain a blog an update it every day. Not that I would know about that or anything, but I can imagine. Whilst I've been picking up little British mannerisms of speaking I've been reading/listening to other people's blogs/podcasts instead of keeping up with mine. Maybe not the best, but most entertaining being a little call in answer show called answermethis run by a few witty brits that comment on just about anything.

And as I watch man united wrap up another title, I can't help but wonder what might have been for arsenal. Actually, theres nothing much to wonder at all. Until Wenger bolsters the squad we'ere always gonna be struggling to handle man u and chelsea, and we're vulnerable to the occasional gross loss at stoke or bolton.

Baseball is more my speed. Especially when you can watch entire games in 20 minutes the next morning none the wiser to whats happened the night before.

A couple of mid-May observations.
1.Greinke is good, but I don't see how a guy just gets that good all of the sudden. This guy was a bum 3 years ago.

2. The NL sucks. I mean, there's a couple of nice teams in there, the Mets, Cubs, Dodgers, Brewers, blah blah blah, but take a look at the Padres. That lineup really strikes some fear into my heart.

3. Baserunning. a) How the hell does Bobby Abreu steal bases? b) And someone should keep track of all the outs the Orioles give away on the basepaths this year. Shameful.

AND is there anything that pisses me off more than fucking photographers sitting so GD close to the baseline in the NBA playoffs that guys constantly have to try and not fall on them or break their fall with them. RIDICULOUS. Its only a matter of time before someon ends their career with some unfortunate accident.

Same is teu in football. Somebody is going to crack their skull against an advertising board off of those five feet crows next to the edge of the pitch. I think Fulham has the worst one, theres like no room at all in there.

Ok, I feel better now.

1. He's always had awesome stuff, he just had a battle with the crazy early ont. Plus, he's only 26.

2. Can't wait for random fan at bats.

3. Nobody expects that old man to move, sneaky speed. The o's third in the league with 13 CS. No stats for caught stretching, so someone else should keep track of that.

not even that, if you watch the orioles they are creative with how they get caught stretching. jones oversliding the base on 3-2 ball 4 being tagged out. melvin thinking it was ball 4 and stopping to be tagged out, we call our third base coach the windmill..
