That’s What I Like: Postseason Baseball

October 13, 2006 by Jim Connelly

I’ve always kinda loved October. I grew up in California’s Central Valley, so after four or five months of ridiculous heat and smog; October felt like the beginning of the new year. Even now, there is a coolness, wetness and clearness to the air and the sky that no other time of the year seems to have.

But most of all, I love October because it has Major League Baseball’s postseason.

Algunos Pensamientos al Azar Mientras Que Mira la Tarde Rebroadcast de Galavision del fÃƒÂ³sforo de la Copa del Mundo Entre Paraguay y Trinidad & Tobago

Mi espaÃƒÂ±ol de la High School secundaria aspira. No puedo reconocer una palabra que estÃƒÂ¡n diciendo, a excepciÃƒÂ³n de “pelota del buena.” ¡Y, al parecer, tiene de convertido riguer para todos los anunciadores de Galavision para hacer el GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLL entero! cosa, no justo de Andres Cantor. ¿Y por quÃƒÂ© no? ¿Es la mejor llamada de todos los deportes, asÃƒÂ que quiÃƒÂ©n no desearÃƒÂa hacerla? Sin embargo, el ayer por la noche allÃƒÂ era ÃƒÂ©ste: ¡”GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLL! ¡GOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL!! GOOOOOOOOOOL — offsides.” Ooops. ¡Sin embargo, otra palabra que reconozco!

The World Cup Goes Mobile

June 13, 2006 by Jim Connelly

The World Cup, which is a big deal everywhere in the world, and a bigger deal here than most people give it credit for (after all, American kids have been playing soccer since the late 1960s), could be a killer app for sports on mobile phones.

At least it might be for dozens of other countries, but not so much here in the U.S. And not just because we are talking about soccer, either.
