What The?

The World Baseball Classic is over? To be fair, I didn't really have a clue. I thought that the Americans were out a week ago! Then I see Dice-K making gyros out of them.

Seriously, does anybody care about this event? What I did see was a lot of empty seats at the games I did flip by. Maybe it just so happened that everybody at the park went for a beer & a pee when I tuned in! Although, I must admit, the final looked packed!

Is there a big let down after winning the Brier or the Scotties? There is no doubt that our curlers are the best in the world, but the strain both mentally and physically put on our teams to win the national championship seems to wear them down. And really, do you think Jennifer Jones gets up for a game against Denmark as much as she does to take on Cheryl Bernard?

As everybody knows I hate the NHL's point awarding system, but if there is a positive to take out of it, the playoff races are exciting. Problem is, you need a scientific calculator to figure out teams magic numbers. You can't live and die by teams win and losses because ties make such a big difference. 9 games to go and I have no idea other than if my beloved Oil win out they are in. Any other combo of results is infinite.
