My Reds

For those of you not familiar with the English Premier League, they play soccer (or football, if you're anywhere other than America). My favorite team is Liverpool, and I've been following them for about ten years now. I've been impressed at the new manager, Rafael Benitez, and what energy he's been able to infuse into the club. They have been playing better, but the draws at the beginning of the season may have hurt any title chances they would have--Chelsea, a rival of sorts, simply does not lose (they've only lost once!). And as it stands, Chelsea is 17 points ahead in the standings. Of course, Chelsea ran away with it last year, too.

Liverpool has a big match against Manchester United this weekend, so I look for Gerrard and the rest of the Reds to rise to the challenge.

Go Reds!
