Sports this week

A’s: L L L L L W L
It all began with their inability to sweep the Rangers, the A’s went home and got swept by the Mariners. Blanton was unable to continue his September winning streak (mind you, A’s offense didn’t help, either.) Haren was able to sneak out with a win, the elusive 15th win and the A’s fell over and were unable to prevent Indian’s celebration of post-season clinch. But seriously, if you put Braden in this kinda situation, you’re not looking for a win. (A’s bullpen held on and worked 5.5 shutdown innings but the offense were deep asleep today.)
Chelsea, after a painful nil-nil to Blackburn at home last week, they drew Pot4 Rosenborg in the midweek UCL group stage first round, at home! Simply unbelievable. And the next day we were informed that Jose Mourinho will no longer be our manager, which means no more stylish figure in gray Armani coat putting on faces, yelling and jumping up and down by the pitch, no more smart remarks that piss a lot of people off. I went through shock, disbelief, numb, anger, sad, hurt, denial, numb… you name it. And I tried to move on, as we should accept it as a course of life, and tried to focus on cheering our boys. However, Avram Grant put on an unimaginative show for us and combined with refereeing injustice, Manure took three points away. [updated]I took hardcore Chelsea fans’ defense “I was there when we were shit”, when being accused of glory hunting, to ease the frustration A’s gave me this season. Are we, the blues, are now facing the test again?
Schalke lost 0-1 to Valencia at home in UCL group stage first round. However, they had a strong comeback against Arminia Bielefeld this weekend, scoring 3-0 and now sitting on the 5th of league table.
Fiorentina drew with FC Groningen in EUFA Cup this week, taking an away goal with them, and beaten Catania 0-1 courtesy of Mutu’s goal in the 4th minute and now sitting on the 3rd of Serie A table.
To enlighten the mood, let me present, Blau und Weiss ein Leben Lang
(the blue and white a life long.)
Some fans of other teams are really mean, they changed it to Ein Leben lang, keine Schale in der Hand = a life long, no bowl(champions trophy) in hand… XD
