High Times, Hard Times...

My title describes the life of any sports fan... and for sure any sports fan that follows sports in Southern California.

This post has little to do with Korea - but hey, we all need a break now and then. I had an easy Friday night with Mullen consisting of dinner at Fridays and coffee at Starbucks. If it weren't for the grape flavored dinner mint or the tiny portions we might have forgotten we were in Korea! On our little excursion we passed the MLB store in Meyong-Dong (shopping district) which I ran to like a kid on Christmas... only to find it A) closed and B) filled only with Giants and Yankees gear. I threw up a little in my mouth at that point. Anyway, when I got in tonight I caught up a bit on my sports teams. I've been following the Chargers, but football season just started... and the horrible record of the Dodgers as of late has made me not want to read the team news. So I was just browsing dodgerblues and reading the asshole of the moment section and I read that Brett Tomko is a Padre...? WTF? When did that happen? Not that I care, he pretty much blows. But seriously, it's so weird to be out of the loop.

I miss sports, so much. And I'm not lying when I'm secretly pleased that the Dodgers are going to miss the post season. I would die if they won the world series - or even made it TO the world series and I couldn't be in at least the US, if not LA to watch. Football is another story altogether - I can't watch any of it here and I miss it so much - but I want the Chargers to contend this season. I don't want them to win it all, but I don't see that happening in Norv Turner's first year... but I feel like the Chargers are just starting their climb to dominating the NFL and have no doubts that I will be in the US to watch their dynasty unfold and to throw it in the face of every Oakland. Raiders fan. LT for life, San Diego SUPER Chargers baby!!!


Peace,
