THE BEGINNING OF THE END?
Suppan dissapoints, offense makes Jason Johnson look like Randy Johnson, all this before THE West coast trip.
Baltimore Orioles 5
Boston Choke Sox 2
W: Johnson (10-5)
L: Suppan (10-8)
S: Julio (29)
H: Groom, Lightenburg, Ryan (16, 11, 14)
Wrapup & Box Score
Divisional Magic #: 50
Wild Card Magic #: 45
Oakland and New York lost. We could have been 2 up on Oakland in the Wild Card going into the Colloseum and 2 behind New York, but NO! Also, a car sponsored by the New York Y*nkees crashed into a wall at NASCAR's Winston Cup race in central New York. That's a good omen. Losing 3 of 4 to Baltimore is a bad omen.
Didn't see this game so no Bitch-Goat or Man of the Game.
ARSENAL LOSES TO MANURE ON PENALTY KICKS
US keeper Tim Howard proved he was worth the $2 million Manchester United payed the MetroStars for his contract. Jens Lehmann who was bought for more but is older and less talented did not perform as well as Howard in the shoot-out, allowing all 4 shots on net to go into the net. French defender Mikael Silvestre scored at the 15th minute for Man U, a goal that was quickly answered by fellow Frenchman Thierry Henry five minutes later. The deadlock remained until the full-time whistle was blown and the shoot-out began. Arsena;'s Giovanni van Bronckhurst and Ruud Van Nistelrooj failed to hit the target and Howard made a diving save on Robert Pires' shot to win the match and the FA Community Shield for United. Sadly, for Arsenal, sometimes promising English forward Francis Jeffers was sent off (ejected) for kicking Phil Neville. In my opinion, Arsenal should have bought a striker like Patrick Kluivert over the off-season, but the club doesn't exactly have money to spend with the gargantuan project of building a new $1.2 billion stadium in North London. It could be a long season. REAL season opener is Saturday against Everton FC. I can't wait!
Germany and France have each begun their seasons in the midst of a "heat wave." Sorry Europe, but 80 degrees doesn't constitute a heat wave. The MLS boys play in America's summer, so toughen up! Bayer Leverkusen leads the 1. Bundesliga with 2 wins (6 points) and is the only undefeated team in Deutschland's top league.
FORGOT TO MENTION THE PATS
The Patriots beat the NY Giants in a preseason game. The Pats looked solid, but the Giants' shitty play made us look like gods. The seemingly endless NFL preseason continues for New England Saturday night at Washington.
LLWS SUCKS
I hate the Little League World Series. Every year I'm bombarded by ESPN's commercialization of children playing "baseball." It's sick! I hate how ESPN glorifies some kids (like Almonte, or the New York showboats last year) cuz they've already gone thru puberty and are currently DESTROYING their undeveloped arms by throwing breaking pitches. Tim Wakefield can't move his right elbow properly and can't throw with any velocity because he ruined it as a kid, THROWING CURVEBALLS! And now ESPN is broadcasting the Little League softball World Series. Are there no other sports? Why not have an English soccer match, or some preseason NFL action, or even some Major League Lacrosse? Or REAL baseball?!?
