Too bad you missed the ABL playoffs while you were down there -- just saw the deciding Game 3 on the MLB Network, where the Perth Heat defended their title by beating the Melbourne Aces 7-6 in 13 innings, with the rally starting on a leadoff HBP, advancing to third on successive groundouts, then scoring on a wild pitch. Looked like fun, even if the announcer sounded like Thom Brenneman with an Australian accent. One of these years, MLB will have to start the season with a two-game series in Australia.
I suppose it's my own fault I don't know, has I haven't attended a professional sports event since 1966, but when exactly did attending sports events turn into Straight Guy Halloween? Why does a Rugby audience look like they're all rejected contestants from RuPaul's Drag Race?

ReplyDeleteMy reason is Flight of the Conchords. Though that chick in the nun sandwich is a close second.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the characters from the Big Bang Theory attended the game
ReplyDeleteI would visit NZ just to see the Haka performed and to check out the unspoilt landscape.
