fast cars, ballgames, et al

the last time i was glued to the sports screen was during game one of mets-dodgers, in a tiny nook in makati, the dodgers lost that match. i think i was already in bacolod by the time los angeles dropped the entire series. then my other half, who likes the mets, posted this question, if greg maddux retires, which team would you support? the answer is. i don't know. i rooted for all things atlanta braves when mr. maddux was with chipper jones and company. there was the phase with the cubs when he was traded to chicago. after that, i tried my best to bend a little when the former bespectacled pitcher and avid golfer got to the mound in LA. as the right-hander hits 41 next season, are my days as a baseball fan on its final breaths? not really, with the illustrious maddux as good as he is, he will end up as pitching coach somehow in the major leagues. or better yet, manager? too farfetched?

alonzo won suzuka. meaning schumacher would only finish runner-up in what he is saying as his last season. the brazil grand prix would be the german's last race. it is highly unlikely that the spaniard would not secure a point as, schumi said "fernando is a very good driver." would i still be in my element for formula one after schumacher? tricky question. i would just ogle montoya at nascar. i'm not into the columbian. but raikkonen doesn't propel my usual shrieks.

i'll be getting hitched in the morning but there's time to catch a bit of pba somewhere in the evening. it's been ages since i've seen pinoy baskeball. the last time i saw james yap, he was with UE. but i'm into limpot sightings. 10 minutes playing time is fine.

now, got to get the rings ready for the formal union (photo from usatoday.com).
