All-purpose sports post: ICC World Twenty20, FIFA Women’s World Cup, NFL, etc.

This is a HUGE week in sports.  Here are my thoughts, alphabetically by sport. *** Cricket:  (If you’re not familiar with the sport of cricket, here is a little primer I wrote a few months ago.  Or you can just scroll down to read my comments on other sports.)  Rather than this specific tournament, my first comment is on [...]

More comments than content!

Stratford, NJ, USA I haven’t posted that much in the past week.  Part of it might be laziness, but I really don’t have all that much to say anyway. Well, let me re-phrase that.  I haven’t come up with many ideas to write about.  Maryland Macaca, however, has.  I mean, she has come up with [...]

Zimbabwe-Ireland Cricket

Holy carp!| Did you see that match yesterday?! I mean, dang! I used to think that the most exciting play in sports was a last-second field goal in (American) footbal.  If it was good, you could have a win (or a tie, depending up on the circumstances; if it missed, you could have a loss (or [...]

The early bird gets the worm

I’m not exactly sure why, but the past few days, I’ve been getting up early, around 8am or so, staying up for an hour or so, then falling back asleep until ridiculously late.  (No, it’s not for cricket, but that’s not a bad bonus). I know I’ve pimped Slickdeals.net here before. This morning, there was a [...]

Are you ready for some cricket?! (UPDATED!)

I say, old chap, it’s time for the 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup! That’s right, when I wake up in a few hours, the opening match of the World Cup will be under way in Jamaica, and, as you can see above: I only own a toy cricket bat. I really do need a shave. I’ll [...]

On salmon and beer and hockey and Syracuse basketball

I hate to brag (ok, well, if I really hated to brag, I wouldn’t have a vanity website), but I have to say, I was very happy with the way dinner turned out tonight. George and I grilled up some lemon-butter-herb salmon and fresh asparagus.  I think that’s a valid combination, isn’t it? Regardless, my [...]

Wanna see Syracuse basketball in Philly? (Inter alia)

I have to be honest: posting about video games makes me feel really pathetic.  But I just defeated Pakistan 337-48 in a Test Match in Super International Cricket!  I was the West Indies.  Considering it took me three hours to play the whole damned test, and considering that’s a damn good score (I didn’t score [...]

Virtual Afghanistan (or, where I’ve been, and where I’m going)

In case anyone still bothers to check this out from time to time, I thought I better update you now on what I’ve been up to the past few months, because I really hae no idea when I’ll be able to do this again. Anyway, I think everyone knows that I went to Dustin’s wedding [...]

Sticky wicket talk

“Chris Gayle hammered 23 including a six and a four in adding 43 for the first wicket with Darren Ganga who made 17.” http://www.antiguasun.com/paper/?as=view&sun=281935077507132005&an=482715079207112006&ac=Sports http://www.ny1.com/ny1/content/index.jsp?stid=9&aid=60864
