In European soccer, teams that do poorly are often relegated from the higher league down to a lower league. Perhaps this explains what happened to baseball’s Milwaukee Brewers in 1998.

I spoke to Ms. Norberg, of StubHub.
StubHub follows up

I’ve heard back from a senior supervisor of executive customer care at StubHub. Those who stop by frequently might remember we had three spring training tickets stolen a week before we left town.
And now, two months after we began e-mailing and calling StubHub to try and replace the stolen tickets before we got to Florida, [...]

Barry Bonds as the painted bird

I turned on the Giants game last night and was amused, mildly surprised, and bemused by the thunderous boos Barry Bonds received at Dodger stadium. I heard later that it got vicious in parts of the stands, with at least one fight breaking out.
Which surprised me a bit because the Dodgers fans I’ve known have [...]
Okay, I had some leftovers from that tagging exercise, and am told I should have included some of these.
What, you didn’t like my idiosyncratic corporeal musings?
No relief for the Giants
Posted in baseball, entertainment, predictions, sports on June 7, 2007 | 6 Comments »
My fears about the Giants are gradually being realized. I was afraid their bullpen problems would come back to bite them in the butt, and it’s happening. Tuesday night the bullpen once again gave up the game in extra innings.
