Cleats on the Ground – WBC (VZ v PR & DR v US)

sunrisesunrise - March 22, 2017March 21, 2017

Four games down, two to go. And the nightcap being a win or go home game! The organizers must have loved that. This is arguably the best $150 I've spent on tickets for a sporting event. If it happens at Petco again in 2021, I'll definitely go again. Venezuela vs Puerto

After 3 games, I was really excited for this one. Puerto Rico's fans were just plain fun to be around. There was a lot of spirit showing all around. There was a guy in George Washington garb and a US flag with 13 stars. That's good commitment to a bit. So,

So just when I think this show is running downhill, I come to the realization that I've set my bar too high. This week's episode was a continuation of events from three episodes back, when Eugene announced he's Team Negan & Negan killed the Sanctuary's doctor. But it starts at Hilltop,

We remember our first tastes of things fondly. Our first bite into what becomes our favorite dish. Our first sip of what becomes our favorite new drink. Our first hit of that sweet primo shit that makes you feel… wait a minute. Sorry, I digressed. Um, Senor Weaselo here, Yeah

When we arrived to this game, we cruised around the stadium to see anything that might have been upgraded. Nothing seemed to have changed which isn't much of a surprise considering how much the ownership is putting into fielding a winning product. I still have no idea where the so

Hey, at least we got rid of Notre Dame! Documenting the atrocities... #7MW Michigan v. #2MW Louisville (12:10, CBS) Welp, the Wolverines did not go out with a whimper like I thought they might. In fact, they looked good enough to represent an even fight with the Cardinals, the lone non-evil ACC

At least there are fewer games today. I have lost my Christmas Spirit. #5W Notre Dame v. #4W West Virginia (12;10, CBS) Each side got a bit of a scareon Thursday, but the name of the game is "Survive and Advance" for a reason. Hopefully, it will be fun and competitive, only
