Rough Week

by RudyKelly on Jul 5, 2009 2:25 PM PDT Comment 22 comments

-Last Sunday, the U.S. Men's soccer team went up by 2 goals against Brazil in the final of the Confederations Cup, only to blow the game and lose, 3-2. I was crushed.

-On Wednesday, the Kings lost out on Marian Hossa. I was crushed.

-On Thursday, Trevor Ariza signed with the Houston Rockets. Since he was my favorite player on the Lakers, I was crushed.

-On Friday, the Kings traded for Ryan Smyth. Since Ryan Smyth is just the worst, I was crushed.

-Today, Andy Roddick lost a devastating match against Roger Federer and his stupid face in 5 sets. I've been cheering for Roddick for years (him being the best American since Pete retired) and I always get up early when he's in a final (only to pretty much always watch him lose), so I was crushed. Especially at the end, when Andy was sitting in his chair just full of rage and sadness and pity. It was like that episode of The Simpsons where Bart actually tries to do well in school and still fails; Andy didn't blow this one and he didn't get blown out, he just wasn't as good as Federer. And that has to suck.

-The Dodgers... the Dodgers are OK. I love Chad Billingsley and he was just named to the All-Star Game. Good job, Chad.

I really hate sports ~~all the time~~ sometimes.

I hope you weren’t a big Steve McNair fan.

Why don’t you just go reintroduce yourself to your hand and feel a bit better. ;)

Ugh, don't even get me started on the US Brazil match

I had locked that away in the recesses of my mind until you reminded me about it.

Better question: why were you emotionally invested in the soccer game you were watching?

because football (soccer) is the second best team sport after hockey…?

we all hate soccer…but i admit..i was rooting for the good ole USA..would have brought me to a good chuckle to see a country where 98% dont give a shit about soccer..and that team beats a country where that is reveresed…..sigh it wasnt meant to be

Sucks for you, Rudy. But at least Manny homered for the Dodgers. I was crushed, but good for you.

Fuck you, Denis Gauthier. You suck at hockey... and life.

this week can be salvaged if kemp gets voted on to the all star game over sandoval and victorino especially.

I have this dream that Ariza, Kemp and Simmonds all hang out with me. It’s awesome, except for the part where I have to lie to my roommate about why I’m washing my sheets for the 3rd time in a week.

Felt bad for Roddick. The one time he doesn’t choke, and he still can’t win.

A writer for the Wall Street Journal (Jason Gay; make your own joke) wrote that Federer’s gold-lined warm-up suit “…made him look like Kanye West’s beekeeper.” I love that line, though I’m not sure why.

you realize your arena is being swamped with (ugh) Michael Jackson fans (freaks) right now … right? (ha!)

You think Staples Center is swamped with freaks today, Ang?!? Shit!!!! You should have seen how bad it was in 2005-06 when these two douche canoes were roaming the grounds of our fair arena…
