Sports: June 2006 Archives

Need I say more? What an embarrassment.

Sorry this is a bit late, but I got sidetracked.

So I don't watch much soccer since it isn't on TV all that much, but did you see the USA get robbed when they played Italy? I was impressed by the USA squad, they came out of the gate and dominated the match and they made Italy look like the underdog.

Enter in the refree. This poor smuck make it impossible to play an aggressive game. He blew so many calls that the TV announcers where saying that he should withdraw from the match. Incredible.. Fortunately the USA team came out of it with a point, but they will have to play the next match minus two guys.

Just let them play within reason.

Damn... You have one of the best jobs in the world and you go and do this? The A's Esteban Loaiza goes off and gets arrested for DUI. A lot of people would kill to have his job. Pick up your jock strap and be a man.

This weekend was very good for the A's. First time since '94 the A's went into the Bronx and swept the Yankees. Please note that this is huge since Rich Harden is on the DL, Bobby Crosby missed the series with a hand injury and Frank Thomas has a bum leg. Granted the A's are not in 1st in their division, but we're only 2 games out.

 Billy Beane explains that the first 1/3 of the season is looking over what you got and what missing pieces there are. The next 1/3 is going after those parts you need to fill in the gaps and the last 1/3 is putting it all together.

 GO A's!
