I've just returned from a Bonn Capitals game. Not quite Major League (USA) baseball, but still a good day out.

But, as someone who appreciates a good bit of design, the Yankees shirts are really very lovely.<br /><br />Tori - Oh yeh, we love that. If someone's too successful we start to not like them.<br /><br />Paul - I was shit at cricket at school. Never had any interest in it. Still don't. And probably never will especially when they wear those stupid looking clothes for some international matches.

That's like seeing Microsoft competeing against Apple, but at your game, Apple kicked ass. The Yankees have top $ players, and they've sucked all year. If you really want to root for the underdogs, go for the Milwaukee Brewers. You can subscribe to watch the games live at www.milwaukeebrewers.com. Well, I’m sorry that you had to see a Yankees game.

But I always route against the LA teams even though I live here, I just like seeing them lose. Born and raised in Vermont though, about 6 hours from where you are, so I'm all about the East Coast teams. Well, I’m a Yankees fan so yes.

Guess I've always had a bit of resentment toward it because I was such a god-awful t-ball player as a kid. The 7th inning thing is called a seventh inning stretch.
