i had a thing here about how much i like cricket but it's not here now.

Entertaining football game in Scotland, between Motherwell and the Hibernians - 6-2 for the visitors after 65 minutes, and 6-6 final score:

Holy shit, I stopped watching the Braves game today because they were down by 6 going into the 9th.

So they scored 3 quick runs and then won the game on a walk-off grand slam.

We have a new, non-20+-page sports thread.

I thought that was the de facto cricket thread. I'm wary of disrupting the lively discussion by talking about baseball.

Given how closely cricket and baseball are related, that would be a shame

The Beeb has a small audio slideshow on that topic up now: not terribly informative, but maybe interesting nonetheless: http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_8693000/8693097.stm

I always wish I liked baseball more. Maybe if I was English.

I loved it when I was a kid, then went off it for 10 years or so. Didn't care a bit. Past 2 or 3 years though, for some reason, I've loved it as much as I ever did.
