>Times on Stadium Food

>The author gives both New York stadiums a free pass because it’s their last seasons. I’m not…unless they start letting me in free and handing me a beer I’m going to comment on what I pay for. Yeah yeah everything is way overpriced – on a recent trip I offered to buy Cyclones Fan a beer, but I baled when he wanted one of fancy imported beers. I’ll buy you a beer but the cap is $10. I offered to give him a $20 but I’m not paying $11 for a cup of beer.

As for the rest of the local stadium food. It all is lousy. You knew that. Maybe the Italian Sausage is halfway serviceable some time. Let me know if they ever actually cook a pretzel. Read this article by clicking above where it says Times on Stadium Food…

Hot dogs and peanuts are still staples at major league ballparks, but rising stars include crab cakes and edamame. You want Champagne with that?

>I Had No Horse

>Oh man. I really wanted Big Brown to win the Triple Crown. Once again we see how hard it is to pull this off.

It was kind of nice to have some excitement around horse racing for a change, and I gotta tell I felt genuinely excited when the entered the starting gate.

Quote of the day, “I had no horse.”

Sorry BB, and congratulations Da’Tara

>Euro 2008

>Spent about a half an hour looking around to see if there are any fun soccer blogs. They are few and far between….but I’m feeling the Euro 2008 and my adopted team of Espana.

So since I don’t know anything about soccer, I need to cut and paste from someone who does.

And since everyone is now rolling their eyes, I need to help sucker you in…so courtesy of the folks at hotdogandfriends, here’s a longer than usual cut and paste complete with snarky commentary and pretty women.

Switzerland – Your old buddy Hotdog has a horse in this race. Switzerland kicks off Euro 2008 this Saturday at 9 a.m. at St. Jakob Stadion, which was just a short ride on the #14 tram from my place in Basel. My adopted home for 18 glorious months, Switzerland stands a puncher’s chance to advance out of the group stage.

(editor’s note: most girls in Switzerland are not this attractive)

and the rest of the group A preview is here: http://hotdogandfriends.com/?p=673 and I will add hotdog to the links for the month to carry us through.
