“I guess that’s just for football.”
I guess. Seems really foolish though.
“Alternate gold jerseys of VICTORY.”
Great game.
Rays won’t see the foliage, they just saw the FALL!
RE: Bad conduct in Little League. Different sport, but this is a quote last week from an interview with Bobby Orr:
Q. You talk in the book about one hockey parent murdering another in Massachusetts, and didn’t you recently rush on the ice in Toronto to break up a brawl in a youth game?
A. “I didn’t go on the ice, but I was sitting with my partner and said, “Something is going to happen here.’’ The parents and coaches were going at it. That’s outrageous. Think about it. These are our children’s games. We’re the adults. We’re the ones that are supposed to be setting the good example, and they’re acting like damn fools. Some coaches act as if the mortgage were at stake if their Pee Wee team doesn’t win a game, which is outrageous. I guarantee, if your kid’s got it, he’ll get a chance. And I’ll guarantee another thing. If you’re abusing that kid mentally, screaming and yelling at him if he makes a mistake, the kid is going to walk away. He’s going to leave the game. I don’t ever remember a minor hockey coach screaming and yelling and being unreasonable with me, ever. My father, never. People say to me, “What was the reason for the success I had?’’ I had a love and passion for the game that was never taken out of me. I couldn’t wait to get on the ice. I couldn’t wait to get a stick in my hand, whether it was shooting in the garage or playing in the parking lot or playing at the school rink or playing on the river or the bay. I went very young [age 14] to play junior hockey. The coaches were owned by the Bruins and they continued to let me play my way. I went to the Bruins and they continued to let me play my way, the way I always played, because they thought that was most effective. That was huge for me.”
Tough day for Hotlanta sports. Ex-White sock Juan Uribe wins it in the 8th while Ex-White sock Freddie Garcia sits and watches, sadly and helplessly. Also a spectator, the closer Kimbrel .
Rays avoid the sweep, a double switch in an AL game, you know you loved it, Mauro. Kogi Uhura takes the loss. Tomorrow, Peavy.
A’s win in big D, the Tigers turn to Fister to avoid elimination.
Cards force game 5, the Pirates will have to get through Wainwright, arrrrgh.
