wimbledonw was incredible

by royalsreview on Jul 5, 2009 1:39 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

My son’s friend, who’s Roddick’s coach’s nephew, was here watching staying with us while his family’s in Europe.

And he of course put the final on. Before long we were all watching, even though normally we don’t follow tennis. Absolutely amazing match.

Son’s friend/coach’s nephew said he needs to take out his frustration on the XBox and retired to the other room. I believe animated characters are even now being slain.

I Still Think

Last year’s final was a better match, but it’s hard to say. Both were incredible. Oh well, we still have Joey Chestnut.

Hillman Is Learning

Unless Jacobs is injured. The incredible shrinking Sporqie Bloomers still batting secondn though. We need Callaspo’s bat in the 8 hole so Maier can drive him home, I guess.

yes he is I was saying earlier how Pena should be our full time DH

No way Pena clears lefties

Anyone watching that HR he hit? And that swing. He would be a better DH than Jacobs no question.

Actually why don’t we send Jacobs to the minors? Oh yeah he’s our emotional leader forgot

this momentous series

Sardonic, perhaps, but it’s a series of at least some moment: after Friday’s absolute downer, yesterday’s rally challenged the notion that 2009 was doomed to be the downfall of the new regime. Now it will take at least another extended stretch of bad play to restore it.

Good Ole Wiki
Berlin originally wrote the song in 1918 while serving in the U.S. Army at Camp Upton in Yaphank, New York, but decided that it did not fit in a revue called Yip Yip Yaphank, so he set it aside. The lyrics at that time included the line, “Make her victorious on land and foam, God bless America…”1, as well as “Stand beside her and guide her, to the right with the light from above.”
