    I was watching the Yankees - Red Sox game yesterday and they showed it until the bottom of the 9th when they decided to switch it off (with Rivera coming in to protect a 6-4 lead; and considering his record against the Sox the thing was far from a cert) and show the BYU - Boise State game (which was just starting and btw totally sucked). What's the point of watching a game for over two hours if its gonna get turned off with 10 minutes or so left ?! I'm so mad. :mad: "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."

        But there has to be some game you like ? "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."

            Hmm, that is certainly more interesting than what I usually do for exercice. And delicious "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."

                I played a lot of tennis when I was younger (before I became really really serious about soccer). I got started again playing it in grad school after a 10 year hiatus and found that I was still pretty good at it. True. Baseball is not that interesting to watch actually but it had been a long work week (with a long weekend looming) so I plonked myself in front of the tv and got involved. I still think its better that any of those lame reality shows. "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."
