Yes, I know Italy won the World Cup...yes, it makes me feel good to see my "mother-country" rule the world of Football/Soccer...but truly...they won on PENALTY KICKS!!!!! What is that all about??? Someone said that is like getting to game 7 of the World Series and after 12 innings, the umps call time and announce that the winner will be decided with a home-run contest. Each team selects 5 players...one pitch per player...whoever has the most home runs at the end wins...BORING!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations to the team. I heard there is some scandal going on within the Italian Soccer League...so some of the team had that on their minds. Truly...don't care about that at all.
The Baseball All-Star Game is being played this evening. This thing has become a popularity contest with fans block voting for their entire team; the managers selecting their players over more qualified players and then the ultimate...players being selected by the fans and then deciding NOT to go! That is just wrong. If you are injured...take the trip anyway and take your bow...the fans asked for you there..and without the fans, you are some guy playing a game with some buddies and certainly not earning multi-million dollar salaries.
And the fact that this determines which league gets home field advantage for the WORLD SERIES???? Absolute stupidity.
It seems Major League Baseball has said the logistics of allowing the teams with the better regular season records have home field would make it difficult...GET REAL.
The NBA does it...the NFL does it...why oh why can't MLB???
Hot one out there today...Another hot night at the grill....
Speak tomorrow...
