I figured if I played the Croatian card, not only would I rouse my family back into the blog again, but I would more than likely cause the Croatian soccer team to lose to Turkey in what was one of the most incredible soccer matches I have ever seen. Granted that was probably the only soccer match I've watched in my life, but it was a true heart-breaker nonetheless. Mission Accomplished. And as much as he might be helping your fantasy team, Chipper Jones remains a complete and total douche. Fortunately you are using him like the tool that he is (in order to further your fantasy team's potential winnings) and not because you are in any way, shape, or form a "fan" of his.

My response to Mr. Moon(my Korean Friend) was that all the best athletes are Croatian. During an adult hockey tournament vs. Little Rock,AR, a Czech asked about my heritage,I responded with a hat trick and he knew by extrapolating the legacy of Joe Sakic that I was without a doubt Croatian. This lineage is also the cause of many perfect games in bowling,(although the senior Holy Smith may argue otherwise)While a Croatian is responsible for inventing the necktie our true style is exposed on the turf,ice and court(s), and none of us are dumb enough to go into boxing!
