    Have been following baseball recently, though despite some recent wins, the unfortunate team I adopted seems to have started the season poorly. Wonder if there's another sport I can inflict "The Derby Way" on?

    Many years ago, we had Canadian neighbours from Toronto. Started to follow the Blue Jays. First full season I followed them they won the World Series. Been crap ever since... like you, I seem to have inflicted them with the Derby Way... as you can see from the current standings in the American League East... strongest team in the League, they're holding the rest up

    So there we have it, British success, as The Manx Missile Mark Cavendish wins TourDe France stage number 35 and cements his position as the greatest Road cycling sprinter of all time. And he made it look easy…

    So its that time of year when we have to find something non Ram-related to satisfy us sport-wise. Anyone got anything interesting lined up? I'm struggling to think of anything a tedious as Mrs F's choice today of the live Lions squad reveal, but I'll try, I guess NASCAR coming closest.

    Anyone? The upcoming test maybe?

    The Lions in Australia (huge), Rugby League Season including the Challenge Cup Final, West Indies and India Cricket tours of England, my grandkids playing cricket or, for the next three weeks, granddaughter playing softball and keeping up with DCFC hopefully creating a competitive squad. That’ll do me…no problem and a little less stressful.

    P.S….and not forgetting an occasional dip into the Tour de France.
