    oh boy javier tonight :shock: :mrgreen:

    Series is in hand. Hopefully no pressure on him. Last couple starts have been much better.

    HAHAHAHHAHA. Jeter and Posada had Kay call Leiter out for dying his hair, that was pretty fucking funny. Leiter got real defensive.

    Welp, this is not what we were hoping for out of Vasquez after a couple good starts

    Edit: Hell of a play from Tex, hold it here Javy.

    Correct, I was thinking of the relief appearance.

    I consider the start against the Mets a good one despite the finger injury.

    you know what's going to hysterical - the fanbases of the red sox and yankees going off the deep end if there's ever a Dice-K and Vazquez matchup...

    I don't have anything to say here, but I once had a New York Yankees hat that my sister brought back from the states for me.

    The reason I post, well I saw it had a total of 999 posts and it was so tempting, so I thought I would become the 1000th.

    Good luck with your season :)

    Yeah, that would be quite amusing althought Dice-K is looking better the last couple starts.

    Lots of baseball left and Javy just got 2 quick outs. If he can get through 5 with 3 runs, while not ideal, I will take it.

    It's the Sydney Swans.

    They're in a sport called AFL.

    This was their premiership win in 2005, their first in 72 years.

    If you are interested this is the last few moments of the grand final.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CER_nddH ... re=related

    Swans were up by 4 points (a goal is worth 6 points), if the other team marked it (caught the ball) they would of had a free kick for goal after the siren to win. This is where one of the most iconic moments in AFL history comes in. I hope you enjoy :)

    Aussie Rules Football, I know it fairly well., lived in New Zealand for a couple years as a kid. Never could quite get into it as much as Rugby but always found it interesting. I will definitely take a look at this. Thanks for sharing.

    Spent a little time in Australia while we were living in New Zealand. Mal Meninga was my favorite player in Rugby League.

    Edit: I still have this exact jersey.

    Ah good work. YEh I love Rugby League too. Smell Mefinger was a great player. Big and strong. Though the canberra raiders haven't returned to its lofty heights of 89,90 and94 when Mal was playing.

    He coach's qld in state of origin now and owns a few fruit and veg shops now http://www.malmeninga.com.au/meninga_fresh.php

    Thats awesome. Thanks! Yeah, I live in NZ in 91 and 94 so that makes sense. I wish I kept more of an eye on Rugby, still would like to get back into it.

    Smell Mefinger was a great player.

    I take it you are not a big fan of his?
  • pjfan31pjfan31 Posts: 7,334
    I get shivers watching it. I am so passionate about the 'bloods'as they are also known, and truly was one of, if not the best day of my life.

    The next year, the Swans were beaten in the grandfinal by 1 point against the same team. That was one of the worst days of my life. Even though the margin was smaller, the 2005 has been largely regarded as the better of the two.

    I just hope I can experience it again one day. If it takes another 72 years, well I'll be 6ft under or in the form of ashes.

    And Mal, he was a great player and seems a decent person, and I am a fan. It's just I don't know if you have heard of State of Origin, but he has coached QLD to 4 consecutive series wins, and they will probably make it 5 this year. And I am from New South Wales, so it's killing me.

    He actually has the record for the shortest political career of all time. A whopping 28 seconds from the time he announced it

    That is awesome, man. Hopefully it won't take so long next time. Getting back and losing a heartbreaker had to be rough. I am right there with you although as a Yankees fan, I have seen a few championships in my life. Your team sounds very similar to the Boston Red Sox, the Yankees biggest rival. They didnt win for 86 years and beat the Yankees and won it all.

    I did not know any of this about Mal, I kind of lost track of rugby a couple years after I returned to the states. That is interesting. So not only was he a good player but he is turning out to be a good coach as well? Very funny about his political career.

    This is all oustanding info. My parents will love the update on Mal, thanks a lot.

    Pleasure. He coached the raiders for a while, but wasn't a success.

    He coaches qld 3 games a year.

    He is good, but his players are what makes him. HE has some ridiculously freakish players in his side, and they are just dominating.

    state of origin is a three game a year series between NSW and QLD.

    They pick the best players from NSW and the best players from QLD.

    So AUstralia has the best league players in the world and the game is riddled with awesome tries, big hits, big fights everything. Mal just coach's qld.

    Very interesting. This is all awesome stuff and don't worry about side tracking the thread. I enjoyed this info. Would love to chat more about it but my girlfriend just got home from chicago so you know what that means.

    Thanks for all the awesome information. That was great.
