Wild World of Sports!

Yeah, I'm not really sure what that title means. In fact, I've never been very good at titles. Ever. You can ask all of my old English teachers. My titles either a.) have nothing to do with the subject about which I am writing, or b.) are ridiculously simple (i.e. The Life of Benjamin Franklin), or c.) are totally lame (i.e. this post). Anyway, enough about me. This weekend we spend a lot of time watching sports (hence the lame title). Friday night, we went to an (American) football game against the two *professional* teams of Prague. While entertaining, it was no Aggie football. I would say the level of play was pretty close to a high school football game (as in Kingwood playing The Woodlands). It was a fun experience, though. Saturday, we spent the majority of the day at the final few games of the Prague Baseball Week tournament. Actually, it was baseball and softball. One of the four Czech teams beat out France to win the baseball tournament (the two American teams placed 7th and 8th). The two womens' American softball teams place 1st and 2nd, though (go girls!). I didn't stay to finish the last baseball game, but the guys did and our boss saw them on Czech TV last night! How cool! Also on Czech TV last night was the Euro Cup, which we watched at our friends', Darrell and Vicki. So it was a weekend full of sports. Here are our pics from the weekend. Sadly, I don't have any of the baseball game.



Lining up for the play. Notice the stands are empty. We didn't even fill up one side of the stadium.



The Halftime entertainment. Yes, they are wearing Karate outfits. No, I have no idea why...



Awww, ain't we cute?



They even gave us these horn/noisemakers. Fun!



We even got on the jumbo-tron! Okay, it was more like a quite large-o-tron. But still, that's twice in one weekend!



They even had mascots. The Panthers...



And the Tigers...



And don't forget the cheerleaders!
