Viva Italia

It does kind of suck to hear people honking their horns outside our windows right now waving Italian flags. My enthusiasm for soccer (fussball) took a big hit with 118 minutes of scoreless snoozefest and then watching the Fatherland get their asses handed to them in the last 2 minutes in double overtime.

It was fun while it lasted, I was looking forward to another raging bash in my backyard with 50,000 of my closest friends on Sunday. However, now on to bigger (much) and better (also much) better things.

Sometimes the gods smile upon us and grant us things that make us put things in perspective. This just happened tonight.....

I have returned home from watching SOCCER to see that the DETROIT TIGERS (best record in the major league Tigers that is) just happened to be on LIVE on my TV battling the A's.

Justin Verlander is firing rockets and all is well with the world.

FYI: If the season ended today, the Tigers would play the A's in the ALDS

Good riddance Big Ben by the way......can't wait to watch Scott Skiles squirm as Ben launches airballs in the playoffs next year. For 15 Million a year, i would learn how to toss my first born* through a frickin hoop......
