Hmmmmm

Worried . Watching the baseball . Increasingly captivating . The World Series , Yep , a Home team helps , but it’s not that . It’s Emma , she’s relaying the scores whilst I cook . Yeah I know , role reversal . Ok, that’s cool your wife is interested in your sporting team but this is our prime time Saturday night entertainment and it’s a family affair . We are locked in , alcohol at the ready and are now in shock; 4 nil is now now 4 all in a heart beat . Shocking . Emma plays fantasy football ( NFL ) and was pumping her fist and yahooing after changing her kicker , who then went on to kick a 56 yard goal in the last play of the game , giving her and his team a remarkable last gasp victory . We’ve been here a minute but American sport has United the family quicker than what AFL football or cricket ever has . I think it’s new ties , a clean slate with no historical roots, a city with few rival teams and a whole community around us who support the same teams . Shit , St.Kilda and all its hopeless misery ……. it feels good to win and contend for championships . Fuck , Dodgers this is nerve racking , your killing me ….. I’m glass half empty and sniff pain ( as I write we are now 5 4 down …. fucken game has me hooked ) , but then I’ve got my Rams , backm in for the SuperBowl . Please for once I wanna be on the champions . Living in LA ….. we only back winners . If the Dodgers lose tonight theyre dis owned .
