Popping in to say that it sucks when you plan to take a Friday off and your smoke detectors go off at 4:00am.

Mrs. Spidey and I had to disconnect all smoke detectors, because we couldn’t figure out which one was beeping intermittently and they wouldn’t fucking stop.

It was about a 10 second siren and then nothing for three or four minutes and then a siren again. Clearly there was no fire. We had no idea which one was causing the problem. We started by pulling all the back up batteries, but that didn’t help. Since the smoke detectors are all hard wired, I had to yank each and every one out.

Now I’m up, with a cup of coffee down. I think I’ll work on some things and target an afternoon nap. Just sucks.

For CB/YLM

Finally, City actually lose a player off the roster. Garrido to Lazio. Now they only need to dump ten or so more and they’ll be under the roster limit.

Fire sale time is the Eastlands! All players 60% off.

That’s the one problem I have with Mancini’s scorched earth policy. Other teams know that we have to dump some guys, so they won’t pay as much. But anyway, sayonara Robinho. :(

by Chris Burton on Jul 30, 2010 10:42 AM EDT up reply actions  

I have two problems with it. The first is the same as yours. They are froced to sell players for less than they should. The other issue is chemistry. For the 2nd year in a row there is a ton of roster turnover.

As for Robinho, I’m not sad to see him leave. The guy was worthless when wearing a Man City kit.

"You ever use smelling salts, every time you type a bad blog?" Brooks Laich

by Carl Putnam on Jul 30, 2010 11:00 AM EDT up reply actions  

Exactly! As much as I hate Manchester United and Chelsea, they have a core who know exactly what to do together. Ferdinand, Vidic, Scholes, Giggs, Rooney, and Lampard, Drogba, Terry, etc. have all played together for extended periods of time, and it breeds success.

On Robinho; I know he was terrible, it’ll be good for him to leave in regards to the team. I just like him in general, though. For Manchester City I’d rather have Donovan or Milner.

Well, DH has been a trouble spot this season. Nick Johnson got hurt (did anyone see that coming, besides everyone?) so it’s been a committee assignment. This move just shores it up with another veteran bat, and from the sound of it, at virtually no cost.

You think Posada can catch full time with all his problems without getting a half day off at DH twice a week?

Haters also going to have teams that spend a fifth of what you spend.

I wonder what it would be like if socialism were ever instituted literally and not in a military, totalitarian kind of way.

I’m kidding. But you have to prefer an owner to puts the money they make back into the team rather than an owner who just pockets it.

While true, no way the Yankees weren’t being run for an equal percentage of profit as some of the lower spending teams.

Don’t get me wrong – I hate that the MLB lacks sufficient parity, and profit sharing slash luxury tax is no salary cap. That said, as a Yankees fan, I’m glad ownership has been willing to commit financially to the team in order to provide a top-tier team.

Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium.   Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
