Milsurp After Hours

How have I managed to exist without that knowledge I wonder ...........

I was going to say, "You can see we let the Canadians play baseball with us (Toronto Blue Jays), but not football. With all their British style upbringing, we didn't want them to get hurt."
Am glad I decided NOT to say that.

Being a seeker after truth and not a lubberly pot stirrer I offers th' followin':



which is captioned:

"Woodcut from "A Little Pretty Pocket-Book" (1744) England, showing first reference to baseball"

That's interesting Eoin. But what I want to know is how a black guy from Cuba, who plays for the Brewers, got a first name of Yuniesky and last name of Betancourt

I think the thing to remember about any kind of sports playoff is that it is only important that a team win the last game they play in. The rest of them are not that important.

And as Paddy once asked Murphy.................................

"How comes that tis always the same two crews in the final of the English Boat Race"!

an' Murphy (a Dubliner) sed, "Dat's cos dey can on'y efford two boats"

Jayzoos, oy never taught o dat!

Australia THIRD, hard game and very well refereed I thought. Right result

THE FINAL.

That was a good game of Rugby and I think if either team had won it would have been the right result.
Good job the ref was on the side of the ALL BLACKS (He seemed to miss quite a few high tackles from the NZders)

Still, beats the hell of American Football as a game.................( jumps in slit trench a waits for Vern to wake up )

Yes, I know Duncan, you think our football players are sissies, and we think your players aren't smart enough to wear helmets because of all the brain damage from playing without one.
But it's always fun to to pick on each other's culture, it's what we do.
