As it happens (and as I just noticed by chance) the European B-Championship is currently held in Vienna:

I'm excited to try and figure out who I'll be rooting for in the playoffs, since, you know...not Cubs.



They have the super-clean-please-God-don't-be-using-PEDs Chris Davis who is just awesome.

Are you going to check it out?  The baseball league they had in Southern France back in 1998 when I was there was hilarious.  Teams would score like 22 runs on 8 hits.

Oh god. Frenchmen playing baseball. A cigarette in one hand and a baguette in the other.

In the interest of divisional solidarity, I think you should throw your support behind whomever is leading the NL Central.  I'll have to check to see who that is at the moment, but you should support that team.

I may go tomorrow or Thursday, dpending on temperatures. It's blistering heat in Vienna (38° scheduled for weekend), so I prefer staying inside rather than sitting on the bleachers somewhere.

I know that the best player in the Austrian league a few years ago (possibly still?) was a Japanese dude who was manager, best pitcher and best slugger for one of the Vienna teams. :lol:

Ouch.  It was "only" around 90F here Sunday but it was 1:00pm with the blazing sun directly over us for the Reds-Pirates game.  My buddy & I had our kids with us & they only lasted 1 inning there before their complaining became intolerable.  Had to try to watch as much as I could from the relatively cool, shaded concourse area while the kids played.

I almost forget what it's like to go to a baseball game without one or more high-maintenance kids :mellow:

So ARod is looking at a huge suspension.  Guy on Mike & Mike is saying they have more on him than they did on Braun, 100 game suspension, etc.  CBS is saying MLB might go for a lifetime ban.

Even with out a life time ban his career may be over.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Crosstown rivalry. It's why I can't bring myself to root for the Cardinals despite the fact that I lived in St. Louis for quite a while.
