Sania, It Was Really Nothing
Now that summer has ushered in the monsoon, there seems to be hardly any justification for India to use sun-baked haziness as a reason to be blinded by Sania Mirza’s incredible mediocrity. Anytime that the young Indian tennis star plays, it’s a national obsession – at least as far as Indian newspaper editors are concerned. [...]
Dussehra sara’…whatever will be…
Alas, the Yankees couldn’t pull it off against the Red Sox last night, er, this morning. So, the only thing that could possibly soften the blow of a Yanks loss is…a day off of work. Woohoo! Tomorrow is Dussehra here in India and it’s a national holiday. So, two four-day weeks in a row..and Diwali [...]
DC Baseball Is Here!
Hey…while I’m working on the blog, I thought I’d register my happiness at the news that it looks like DC will get baseball after all. Hoorah! So, I won’t be there for the initial excitement. But, that’s okay. The Expos’ first year in DC will probably be hard. Plus, the team is currently in LAST [...]
Rivalry Weekend
I hope all of you in the States are enjoying the Yankees/Red Sox weekend. I see the teams split the first two games, so hopefully Mussina and the Yanks will be able to pull off one more win today. I’ve been praying to Ganesha (also god of removing obstacles), so Pedro, Millar, Ortiz, and the [...]
Naming America’s Team
So little time these days to blog, but thought I’d highlight a website that someone made a comment about. The site rememberthegrays.org seeks to move a team to DC and rename them after Washington’s erstwhile Negro League team the Grays. It’s not totally a bad idea. I mean, just think of all the other likely [...]
World Sports Around the ‘Net
I just watched what is sure to be one of the most thrilling matches of the entire Wimbledon tournament, and I never even turned on the tele.
It’s ‘Wiedersehen,’ Dummkopf
You know, if you’re going to use a foreign language phrase in your headline, by all means check the spelling: Auf Wiedersen Germany Sorry, but what do you expect from a copy editor who minored in German?
The Case FOR Baseball in DC
Last night, I had the pleasure of watching the New York Yankees trounce the Baltimore Orioles 10-4. So the Yankees bought their talent – isn’t that what professional baseball teams are supposed to do? Alex Rodriguez’s salary is indeed bloated, but after seeing him belt two homers – and drive in half of the Yankees’ [...]
Euro Spittoon 2004
All I have to ask is what’s with all the spitting? Totti Gets Three-Game Spitting Ban UEFA Revive Frei Spit Charge
The Curse Has Been Lifted
Woo hoo! I’m so glad the Pistons proved my whole theory wrong. Now maybe I’ll have more confidence in former and current Washington players. How about Ben Wallace getting 10 rebounds in the 3rd quarter alone? It was so heartwarming to see the looks on the Lakers’ faces when they started to realize that they [...]
