Another Weekend, Another Sports Post

[przed]

We're visiting my mom up north, and three generations of Zed women had their favourite teams playing today. Only one of us is happy tonight. (Alas, it isn't me.)

Wisconsin just finished playing an incredibly close game against Kentucky. Unfortunately, they had some really messy moments and lost by a single point. But they played their hearts out, and I have to admit that Kentucky really deserved their win. (Doesn't mean I wouldn't have taken the win, though.)

Ros' Leafs played Winnipeg. They had to win tonight to have a hope of making the playoffs, but Winnipeg took them out.

The one bright spot was my mom's beloved Blue Jays took down the hated Yankees , 4 - 0.

At least Wisconsin gets to play the consolation game on Monday, but it's just not the same.

Of course they don't. (Our local paper lied.)

Heh, this is true of course. And I believe Sheffield Wednesday used to be called just 'The Wednesday' and were originally a cricket club I think!

The Scottish leagues tend to throw up some corkers as far as names go. I always liked Inverness Caledonian Thistle, and Hamilton Academical. And the holy grail of Saturdays spent listening to the pools results being read out on TV and hoping against hope that you'd hear 'East Fife five, Forfar four'. :D

Yep, they were a cricket club that played on...wait for it...Wednesdays! (I looked that up a couple of years ago when a mate at work and I were wondering why the heck they were called Wednesday.)

Oooh, I love the Scottish clubs' names! Not to mention "East Fife five, Forfar four." *g*

Oh yes, the Scottish ones are lovely. How about just 'Hearts'? And Partick Thistle was another for me.

Hamilton Academical - brilliant.
