Of Roger, useless info and.... baseball?

Wednesday, June 3, 2009

So Roger will make his 20th consecutive Grand Slam semi-final appearance after downing Gael Monfils this morning. This makes him just 6 sets away from winning his first ever French Open title. I'm just hoping that's not the same thing as saying the Pens are only 3 wins away from winning the Stanley Cup (ie. not going to happen). He'll meet Stripey (Del Potro) who's never been this far in a Grand Slam before. Sadly Soderling the Rafa Killer is still kicking and will face Gonzalez. So yeah. I hope Roger is focusing on making sure HE can play well and not "omfg, I'm SO close to winning it and I MUST win it!". This is the problem without Rafa, Nole and Muz (Murray). Now Roger's the favorite and I'm worried it'll go to his head and he'll choke.

Speaking of Roger, Monfils and the French Open.... the first time I ever watched tennis was on a replay of the French Open semi-finals between Roger and Monfils. There was no hockey on and so I decided to watch it. All I knew was that the guy with funny name was the world number one. Oh yes, I was so stupid..

And yeah... I've got baseball on. Don't get how this thing works and really wishing I could watch hockey instead. I do not get this sport. Other than the obvious. Which is you try to hit the ball. But that's like saying the objective of tennis is to hit the ball. It's just a tad bit more complicated than that. And what's worse is that I have to watch the Toronto Blue Jays and the LA whatevers.... I kinda wanted to see the Red Soxs... *pouts* Stupid baseball.... stupid Toronto. I WANT MY HABS!!!!

Maybe in one year you'll have a baseball blog, and you'll write about how you just you knew they had to hit the ball the first time you watched a game...

Grrreg - lol, maybe. I doubt it though.... Baseball isn't a big thing here at all and the only team I get stuck watching is the Blue Jays, which sucks for us poor people who hate Toronto sports teams. PLUS I don't really have any desire to follow yet another sport. It's bad enough as it is now *G*

Justin - haha *g*
