Liverpool could only muster 1 point after a 4-4 tie with Arsenal. What a great game.  I was able to stream it through an Iraqi website streaming Australian TV.  I could tell you the site, but I’d have to kill you.  I would feel a lot better if they were able to get the win which they looked like they were well on their way on to early, but Arshavin, went off for 4 pure class goals.  Yossi was able to tie it up in the extra time goal to at least salvage the point.  Man U has lead most the year and really are leading, b/c they have a game in hand, but they have a lot of tough games coming up with the EPL and Champions League, so they team constitution will be tested that’s for sure.  It should be a good last month of football.  Liverpool’s on top of the table by goal difference for atleast 1 night:

I’m really glad another baseball season is back in full swing.  Now the Astros maybe behind the eight ball a bit, I think they’ll do a lot better than all the media pre-season rankings.  Most have them have them at 3^rd at best; some losing as many as 67 games. I think they’ll be about 87-90 wins, and that might get them into the wild card.  If they manage to stay healthy they may be able to pull it off, and make a run at the division. 

Nice win tonight by the way.  So far our pitching has been strong, I’m not worried about Roy after last nights performance, and it’s nice to see Wandy pitching really well out of the gate.  Keppinger a late spring signing, after Aaron Boone had to have heart surgery, knocked in the game winning, walk off broken bat single for the 3-2 win in the 10^th inning.  Baseball is all about a short memory so we’ll see what tomorrow brings.

Speaking of tomorrow Liverpool FC plays Chelsea in the championship league quarterfinals.  I’m sure most people in the states don’t follow European football, but for the past 10 years or so I’ve been following as close as I can from abroad.  Fox soccer channel does a great job; I know I watch it a lot more than ESPN these days.   I’ve latched on to Liverpool, mostly b/c Steven Gerrard has been my favorite player since I’ve gotten into the EPL.    The UEFA Championship League games are really exciting, there’s some much talent on the pitch…here is how wiki breaks down the tournament. 

Luckily for me ESPN360.com has all the championship games live, so I can stream them at work.  So from 1:45 – 3:45pm tomorrow I’m in a meeting.
