Corinthians 1 Chelsea 0 A pal of mine, down at my local pub, The Grumpy Troll, noticed my Chelsea cap yesterday and congratulated me and Chelsea for winning. He was referring to the Club World Cup in Tokyo over the weekend of course, and had the well-intentioned, but misguided notion that Chelsea had…
In 2023, Chelsea’s newest owner becomes bored with his team winning everything. He decides to try his hand with NASCAR. Imagine that. The post-Roman Abramovich era. It will be upon us someday, hopefully not soon, assuming the inherent dysfunction amongst the board and middle management gets corrected. But what will be our fate when…
Rafa OUT??? What the hell did I do to piss everyone off?? I should not write a thing at the moment. I’m just too pig-biting mad! But, I’ve never let the facts get in the way of the truth, so why stop now. And as for facts, while I’ve never actually read Thomas Pynchon’s The…
Shakhtar Donetsk 2 Chelsea 1 At the 70th minute mark of today’s Champions League tilt I decided I’d had enough of this flummery and shut off the computer feed, lowered the Blue Flag to half-mast, and toddled off to the boozer. Yes, I left my 2008 Chelsea away shirt on, and my…
Antigua and Barbuda 1 USA 2 England 5 San Marino 0 FIFA World Cup qualifying for Brazil 2014 is once more in full swing, or full something. In both Europe and the New World, all over the planet, everywhere except in Brazil who qualifies automatically because they’re the cordial hosts for 2014, and…
It’s Talladega, Baby!! And you know what THAT means!! CREAM PUFFS!!! Yes, you read that right. And if you think I’m just kidding about that, you savages think wrong. This time, dignity, style and culture will finally hold sway. Something has to hold sway in this terrible autumnal season of quisling replacements officials and the…
Chelsea 1 Stoke City 0 1 is an odd number. Chelsea scored 1 goal today at Stamford Bridge. Ashley Cole scored that goal at the 85 minute mark, an odd number. And as any True Blue fan knows, Ashley Cole wears the #3 shirt, also an odd number. Chelsea were, in a Shakespearean…
Chelsea 1 Atlético Madrid 4 When Chelsea went down 0-3 at halftime on a Falcao hat-trick, I donned my rally-cap for the 2nd half hoping for the best, but realizing that Chelsea just couldn’t be arsed (with a few exceptions) to give it their best. And I just couldn’t be arsed to pretty…
Lap 6 Denny Hamlin led The Fall of Mankind from the pole position. As it happened…I was late for the start of the Brickyard 400 and thus was also left out of the start of the precipitous Fall of Mankind…so the engines started and Denny Hamlin led the charge without me. Which I suppose…
Railway Park, Rochelle IL, 7/13/12, 5:42PM CDT In the little train stations in my mind, a few things seem remarkably better than I can recall them being of late, but there are still good reasons for me remain silent, and still, and hope no one comes around to give those stations a new roof or…
WARNING: This Blog Kills Fascists!! Instead of writing words to the effect of: There’s a better world a’coming…but I surely don’ know when. I don’t know if it’s been just the weather, or the emotional weather, the economy, or just the beat down broken spell of time that has been clutching my heart. But I…
Spain Parks The Bus Yes. I will sell you a tallboy of PABST for $1.50, if you’re polite, and can tell me what you like about America. That’s fair, yes? It could be any number of things from Guns to NASCAR, parodies or paradigms. Your call. Tell me what you really feel. But remember, ONLY…
Sweden 2 England 3 Spain 4 Ireland 0 After Matchday 2 of Euro 2012, Sweden and Ireland are officially 2 and done. Or in Ireland’s case, 2 and Dunne. They’ll play their final games against France and Italy respectively, and then shove off for Stockholm and Dublin to drown their sorrows. While I never had…
Netherlands 0 Denmark 1 If I could, I would write a million words about the turmoil of the past two weeks. But there is never enough time or words. Never enough pictures. The Milwaukee Brewers, after a 4 game sweep on the road of the LA Dodgers, the best team in baseball, lost…
