sports recap
the swans won. sydney goes wild. the game's end result was fantastic if you hail from sydney, although the margin of victory was 4 points, a lot lower than my predicted 22. good thing i didn't bet. i listened to this game on the radio while at work. let me advice anyone who attempts this in the future, that it is impossible. the play by play commentary is ridiculous the only time i could make sense of anything, was when the announcer would pause to announce the score. otherwise, it was totally confusing. but then again AFL is a game of chaos.
in the rugby leg (league) the tigers won, and the north queensland cowboys pulled off the upset of the century. both teams will be in the grand final next weekend. not that anyone in the rest of the world really cares. i barely do, but like i keep telling everyone, it isn't like i can watch baseball all the time. thus, i supplement my sports addiction with the quick fix. automobile racing is not a sport and golf is a hobby, so neither one counts. while we are on the subject of golf, who invented the game? the principle of the game is so fucked up- you take the smallest ball you can find, whack it with the most unbalanced, awkward stick around as far as you can hit it, and try to put the tiny ball into a tiny hole somewhere on the other side of the country.
just a note on the baseball, i hear that every team in the national league west, has a losing record. i guess we can't expect to see any of those teams in the world series.
