Well, I no longer give a shit about Wimbledon

by on June 27, 2008

ana.jpgFrom the BBC (that’s in England!):

“World number one Ana Ivanovic was sent crashing out of Wimbledon in the third round by world number 133 Jie Zheng.”

NOW how am I supposed to enjoy this “tennis”? Did you think about that, Ana? Did you think about me?

Between the Lakers losing the NBA Finals, the Dodgers losing every game I attend and nearly every game I don’t attend, Argentina being unable to beat the U.S. nor even manage a lousy goal against them, I think this might go down as the worst year in sports since my Little League team lost the championship on my 13th birthday.

At least Serena Williams is still in it.

We Coloradans are suffering through a terrible sports year too. The World Series high was clearly a one off, and now all our teams are punishing us for getting our hopes up.

Orioles, check. Caps, check. Wizards, check. Redskins, sigh, check. At least DC United wins some stuff occasionally!!

At least you didn’t strike out against that old Dude at Dodger fantasy camp.

that’s gotta count for something.

LA has a baseball team?

Wait wait wait… between the Caps, Wizards, and Skins, DC is 3 for 3 in making the playoffs… They don’t win when they get there, but that’s another story…

At least you aren’t claiming the Galaxy, who are coming to town Sunday. I think they’ve got some guy who’s supposed to be good… um… Edson Buddle? No… Abel Xavier? No… Joey Franchino? I think that’s it. That’s him.

I’m a DC United fan…there was no MLS team in LA when I lived there.

Right there with you on this one. Ana Ivanovic is hands down the most beautiful tennis player on the planet, edging out Maria Sharapova and Andy Roddick.

Serena? Really? Never liked her attitude and always thought her sister was the better looking of the two.

I agree - tennis is dead to me after Ana lost. What a selfish woman - losing before I got enough mental images to hold me over until the next tournament.

Under any other circumstance I would agree except….SPAIN!!! Ole! Nuff said.
