As if the video itself isn't awesome enough, the song choice by the stadium is perfect. There's nothing better than a college baseball rain delay.

Working at Fenway Park, we've dealt with rain in each of the last 4 home series. I would even take the old Papelbon and Delcarmen rain delay video(which Big Baby makes a cameo in in this guy's video, hahaha) for a little entertainment, but I think the players at least need to bring back sliding on the tarp or something. I know anyone on the Sox could get hurt sneezing at this point, but come on, live a little.

And in case you wanted more college baseball shenanigans, here ya' go.

Another Reason to Love Curling


So I was looking around the Internet for any good news on the U.S. curling team after their awful performances, the past few days, and could only find one story worth writing about. Luckily, it's the same story you all want to hear.

The 2010 Vancouver Olympics U.S. Curling team has made it to where they are because of a few reasons. First off, they're just plain good. I mean, I could try all I wanted, and I don't think I could beat anybody in curling. But I think the most important reason for their success has been all thanks to their sponsors. Hurry Hard condoms, and Laphroaig Whiskey.

If condoms and whiskey aren't 2 huge keys to success, then I'm not sure what is.

Curling is awesome.

It's Official...



Curling is underway at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.

GBR vs SWE
NOR vs CAN
USA vs GER
SWI vs DEN
CAN vs GER
CHN vs FRA
USA vs NOR

All these match-ups are slated for action today. I'm watching the US take on Germany right now, and it's pretty much stopped time for the seven of us in the room. If you've never seen curling before, here's a little breakdown of how it works.

The game is played down a lane of ice, and the point is to get your curling stone the closest to the center of the target at the end. Each team gets 8 alternating throws, over 10 ends (or frames). Once the stone is thrown by one team member, the other 3 may use their brooms to smooth out the ice to further the stone along. The teams go back and forth, and have 73 minutes to complete all their throws in the 10 frames.

Pretty weak explanation of the sport, but that's basically curling in a nutshell. So enjoy the Games.
