Well it's not as crazy as those Falcons designs at least.

Viking's stadium looks very weird. I'm thinking about it from a Texas perspective, where all that glass just means we finally get to test the magnifying glass on people method that I've wanted to try since I was 4. But I'm sure it's much cooler up there so it probably isn't an issue, though hopefully the roof doesn't collapse!

Mariners...are winning games. I haven't wanted to say anything, because I know once I did they would start losing, but up 3-1 over the Yankees. If we win tonight, only one game below .500. I can't even remember the last time they were above .500 this "far" into a season.

Knew it...3-3 now. Just can't win lol

If you haven't seen highlights of the Bruins record setting comeback on Sunday night, you really need to do yourself a favor and check it out.



Never in the history of the NHL has a team come back from such a defecit in a Game 7 with so little time left in the game. Remarkable.
05/15/13, 13:56   
Boooooooo!

Ha ha, I wanted the Leafs to win. :P

In other news, walk off homer from Andrew McCutchen in the 12th inning last night for the Pirates! What a fun thing. I don't know if any sport event is as great as a walk off win in baseball. Baseball is just so great. Even watching that hockey clip, for example, it's stupid that it is "first score wins." They should play out the period in OT. Give everyone a chance. Like baseball, the world's best sport. :P

@TheOldManFromZelda

Wow.

--And did he say Jagr? The Jagr?

@-JKR-

Doesn't everyone have a chance to score before that guy scores and ends it? Baseball has two defined sides (offense and defense) where Hockey has you doing both simultaneously. I think Sudden Death is perfect for Hockey, obviously it makes no sense in Baseball. They've changed it in the NFL, too. To a degree.
05/16/13, 00:52   
@Mr_Mustache

Yes. Jagr got traded at the deadline this year, and has done pretty well for the Bruins.

@-JKR-

Are you kidding me? Hockey and baseball are two TOTALLY different sports. They are really incomparable in terms of their mechanics and rules. Walk offs are great in baseball, but only if you're the home team. There is no suspense if the road team scores two or three runs in the extra innings, and the home team gets struck out in their at-bat. That's a ho-hum finish. At least in hockey, the suspense is always there, whether you are the home team or the road team. Rob said it best, players have to play both offense and defense simultaneously. Every mistake is magnified, every shot and every save are critical. The jubilation of a game-winning goal is unmatched. Road team hits a home run in extras? Couple high fives and butt slaps, nothing crazy. Road team scores a game winning goal in overtime? Chaos, piles of players, and hugs for all. Especially in a game 7.

@TheOldManFromZelda

He's on the BRUINS?! Wow! I thought he was on the Leafs or something. Pretty neat. How many teams has he played for? I'll hazard a guess at...8?

--And trash on the ice! Nobody likes the road team to win, woo!
05/16/13, 23:22   
Yeah, I get it, I just don't like the Sudden Death method. I prefer a shootout, that's much more fun to me. :) No worries, it's all good!

I went to the ball game last night because tickets were $5 with a special promotion they ran. Great seats, too, by 1st base. While there I spun a prize wheel they have and won two free tickets! Three tickets for $5? I'll take it! :D

And the weather was so perfect, it was just brilliant. Absolutely the exact kind of "summer ball game" weather one could hope for. Awesome. (Oh and we won, which always helps for a good time, ha ha.)

@-JKR-

"Summer Ball Game" weather is the best. Congratulations on a swell outing!

Baseball is the second most boring game in the world, I think. It's barely a sport. Bah. "America's Great Pass Time?" More like "America's Great Waste of Time" amirite?!

In other news, I think my prediction that the Blackhawks are going to sweep my Red Wings will happen. Detroit's not the team it used to be. I'm still honestly surprised they were able to squeak by the Ducks.

@GameDadGrant

Pastime. No wonder you don't like it, you've been using the wrong word!
05/17/13, 00:34   
Pastime? Is that the same as passing the time?
05/17/13, 01:09   
@GameDadGrant

I guess so, but its "America's Pastime." Yeah.

Lets go to a game together. It'll be a scream.

@Mr_Mustache

Baseball? You buy the beers.
05/17/13, 01:16   
@GameDadGrant

We have Sanka.

@Mr_Mustache

*Google's Sanka*

ugh.

New scene.
Daytime exterior of Reggie’s, then inside, where George sits on the left side of the booth while Elaine and Jerry sit on the right side of the booth.

Elaine: So Simon picks this woman up, right in front of me.

Jerry: Look at this. They make a point of saying on the menu, “No egg white omelets.” Look at that.

George: So what! Have a yoke. It won't kill you.

Hilde: (walks up to the table) Hello.

Jerry: Oh, hi Hilde. Can I get an egg white omelet?

Hilde: Did you read the menu?

Jerry: All right, just give me a western. (unhappy)

Elaine: How about a Big Salad?

Hilde: A big salad?

Elaine: (to George) You see?

George: Just tell her what’cha want, they'll make it for ya.

Elaine: It's a salad, only bigger, with lots of stuff in it.

Hilde: I can bring you 2 small salads.

Elaine: Could you put it in a big bowl?

Hilde: We don't have any big bowls.

Elaine: All right. Just give me a cup of decaf.

Hilde: We have Sanka.

(Elaine looks up at Hilde with subtle disbelief)

Speaking of baseball, I'll be in Pittsburgh near the end of July to see the Mets play the pirates. Should be fun!
05/17/13, 04:55   
@-JKR-

I grew up a Yankees fan (strictly because of Donnie Baseball. Greatest first baseman of ALL TIME!!!) and married in to a Cubs family, but I love nothing more than when smaller market teams to well. I would love nothing more than to see the Pirates take the Central this year. The Cubs are still a few years away from being competitive, so they certainly won't be in your way.
05/17/13, 06:12   
Unless someone can prove otherwise, I do believe I just saw my first Orioles Walk-Off Win. YEAH!
