Picture of the Week
By: Melissa | April 20th, 2009
If you subscribe to Peter Wilt’s twitter/facebook, then you’ve already seen the frankencheesy – bacon wrapped hot dog with cheese filling. Saturday morning, my friend and I retrieved these cardiac arrest machines inside styrofoam containers from a Milwaukee diner next to the Highbury Pub. And then I got made fun of for not eating one. I also just spent my Sunday afternoon standing in the pouring rain to watch a scoreless draw between the Red Stars and Sky Blue FC. I’ll get back to writing real reviews/previews starting next week. But for now, quick highlights include
* A bazillion soccer games on different tvs at The Globe Pub. Guess it’s the #1 soccer bar in the U.S. for a reason.
* The Globe Pub bus ride to the stadium & back. Unlimited PBRs included.
* Endless Will Ferrell impersonating Harry Caray impersonations.
* Cheering on a group of women decked out in Red Stars gear doing beer bongs in the parking lot.
Spent much of the rainy game standing under an awning dissecting the Red Stars offense. On the one hand, they’ve only had two televised games. On the other hand, during both those games, their finishing problems were pretty obvious. Also, I think this is the second game Natasha Kai did not start. Someone told me she didn’t start today because she has a concussion and not because she’s in some sort of perma super-sub limbo status. I hope so because once she did get in, she made a difference. But, uh, not enough of a difference I suppose. A win for either side would have been nice, but after watching AC Milan beat down Torino earlier today, this league parity idea may not be such a terrible thing.
