Wow, the women's side is a total bust. The men's final better be Murray/Djokovic or else this entire tournament will be a disappointment.

I put a parlay bet on Lisicki to the women's + either Murray or Djokovic to win the men's. smile.png

I turned it off during the middle of the fourth set because I was getting annoyed. I figured if JMDP somehow won, he'd be too winded to give it a good go on Sunday. When I turned the tv back on, ND was just about to win. I might have enjoyed watching more had I considered muting the volume and forgotten about my disdain for Andy Murray. Those pop psychologists wore on me. Sometimes I just want to hear games called and not the opinion of the announcers--especially not their mind-reading skills. It just makes me hate ESPN since they have such a monopoly on sports. I think Patrick McEnroe does a better job than John McEnroe. And at least all of them are infinitely more tolerable than ESPN's NBA, MLB and NFL crews. I detest their NBA pre-game/half-time panel the most.

While I'm on a roll....I was forced to turn the tv off again by Andy Murray's recurring dream....may it turn into a complete nightmare.

I prefer John or Patrick. Patrick half the time doesnt know what he is talking about. He sucks at broadcaster just as he did as a player....lol.....

Gawd...really...open up two more courts to watch Andy's match on big screen TV....that is so stupid....when it can be seen at their own damn house...how pathetic!

I hope Andy loses!

I hate to have to watch Murray to see Djoker!

My loathing for him is so irrational, but it certainly runs deep!

I think I may watch the women's final. It's fresh and new and Sabine has a really good game! I strongly believe she will be the winner, and this is one match where Bartoli cannot fake injuries and quit.

Yes them too...I got into it with a face booker...lol....I posted what a baby crier Murray was and he said Nole was too...I looked as his profile and he was from the UK....lol

I told him Murray was overrated and a complained about everything on the court and I told him that the Brits need to get a grip and get a life...LMAO

    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?    
    • But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
    • You know one of the soap outlets posed that question just last week: Who do you want Trina with Spencer or Kai? And, of course, the picture of Spencer was NAC. I said, well, a lot. I chose Kai. I said that Spencer had been an entitled brat & that some people valued him over her, when I valued her above all others. I guess we'll see.
    • You're right. The only thing I can think of is if GH finally decides to bring back Spencer.
    • Sharon Rose Gabet told me on Facebook that she calls this "Baby Raven".
    • I imagine the storyline would now segue into Laura's accident. But I hope they manage to keep Leslie around though. I really don't want her to be written out, or get the DOOL treatment where she just pops up every so often to cause some short term trouble; the character and the actor were such a find.
