Last half inning?!?! You missed a heck of a game and series. So very tense and my wife had to remind me that yelling at the TV will not help anything (re: Blanco and Perez playing soccer with the ball in the outfield).
My training has been destroyed for the past few weeks as collateral damage though.

I'm a bigger sports fan than I should be, baseball is my favorite, but its so time consuming. We do go to a few games a year but no longer go to Dodger Stadium for obvious reasons.
Basketball, football, and hockey are great as well but these days I watch the highlights mostly. Watched the Lakers last night during WS commercials and they're lol terrible (I wish they had the dubs game on).
Started following Soccer after visiting the UK during the World Cup in 1998. Just going into the pubs and the vibe they put out is amazing compared to sports over here. They have a huge list of songs they sing during games. Americans know a a 10 second portion of Seven Nation Army.

I just tuned in.
Much lower cadence than Voigt.
Much better about staying on the black line.
Weird 200m track length.

With Voigt it looked like he had plenty at the end. This guy, looks like he may not even make it.

Last half inning of Game 7? That's like tuning in to the last 100m of the TdF.

has anyone ordered stuff from the UK? Get banged for duty or import charges or anything like that? Eyeing some levers but if I had unknown back end costs they could end up not being cheaper.

There have been some unfortunate fan vs fan violence issues there (which could be said about many sporting venues). One of the victims (Bryan Stow) of one of the attacks is dealing with permanent debilitating injuries. The event was widely covered by ESPN when it happened. As a result, Dodger Stadium was required to increase security and improve lighting in and around the park.

i find it difficult to get excited about the hour record, i mean, if it were worth doing, wouldn't the big names of the sport attempt it?

It's bad there, or was. A lot of guys go the Dodger games specifically to fight. Maybe it has changed. I don't mind a bit of mocking, but if you sit next to the right people it could be worse.
One game there was an argument in the aisle and a guy tossed a beer at a guy twice his size. He was punched and landed on the aisle seat, which happened to be where my 7 year old nephew was sitting. The big guy was landing blows while the back of the guys head was hitting my nephew's face. A few of us tried to break it up but others jumped in the fight. I got decked in the jaw (didn't feel it til a few minutes later) and a few other bystanders were hit as well. My nephew had a bloody nose. No one from the Dodgers organization cared to check. We left. Maybe I'm being oversensitive and a 7 year old getting pummeled is nbd, but a 'are you okay' from even an usher would have been nice. That was a Dodgers Padres game, and the last time we went to a game there, circa 2009.
