Social Science Things that please me - Part 2

[TheFreshBanana]

Lucky I don't somehow have one.

Would be going straight into the bin

 

[Smoooothy]

Never thought I'd own one to be honest, let alone in that condition for that price, I'm over the moon. Ten years, much frustration, and I'm now one off a complete run of 1934 to the present.

that's going to be a very valuable collection one day

 

[BotsMaster]

I'm tempted to eat every second day until the Double finishes. Will keep in touch.

Get some chicken tendies next time

Seeing a cop shoot a kangaroo on the side of the road, on way to work today.

Not particularly pleased skippy got killed but makes for a more interesting ride to work that's for sure.

So happy with this.

How's this for a playing schedule?

That was back when an Ashes tour of England went for about 6 months, I guess when they travelled there by boat you had to make the most of it.

These days teams fly in and fly out for a test series in the space of a couple of months.

That playing schedule

All but playing every day and I noticed the tests have 4 playing days with a rest day

Bet those bowlers didn't have a maximum number of overs they were allowed to bowl by sports science clowns

What industry is this?

Food industry. This company deals with breads and cereals specifically.

Second Test at Lords ends on 26/6, and they then had to schlep down to Taunton, which would have been a decent trip in those days to plat Somerset the next day. Amazing.

North Melbourne found a less painful way to delist players by the looks of it.

 

[Catfish Alley]

I had to stop suddenly in the rain to let a family of racoons cross the road the other day. Guy behind me almost rammed into me. Probably wondered why I stopped for a pest. I thought it was a dog at first.

Black and tans are an underated drink. Having a couple now while watching World Series.

There's a good story in AB's 89 Ashes Diary when they had to play a county the morning after regaining the Ashes, an incredibly hungover/still pissed team of course. Blokes dropping easy catches, think even Boony dropped one at short leg, funny morning of cricket apparently.

Not the least bit a baseball fan, but I'm following it on the Guardian live blog, what a year it will have been for underdogs.

I don't care that much either. Might put baseball on a few times a year. This is kind of an historic one though. Plus, a big game on makes me feel less guilty about a couple of drinks on a Wednesday night!

Epic game (for baseball). Feel for the fans. Teams have waited 70-100 years and now they have a rain delay after 9 innings.

 

[Quivorir]

Have the cubs lost yet?

 

[Catfish Alley]

Have the cubs lost yet?

Nope. Were 5-1 up after the 5th. Gave up a double in the 8th. Tied at end of 9.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Had to look it up. Thought 108 years for the Cubs was the longest drought in pro-sport. A couple of Scotish football teams waited longer though. St Johnstone went 130 years.

Makes me somewhat feel better about all those Grand Final losses for the Cats!

1 hand on the title now!

The choke is well and truly alive then?

cubbies up by 2 in the 10th now, the choke may have choked!

 

[Gough]

Two runs up, three outs away now. Would someone who has a clue about baseball tell me if it's a choke if they lose it from here?

 

[Catfish Alley]

Rain delay helped settle them I think. They should close it out now. Up by 2.
