IBAF rankings.

When do you come out with your Honkbol Hoofdklasse rankings?

how is Spain ahead of the Dominican? Perhaps the Spanish footballer, Jose Reyes, is multi-talented.

I wonder why Finland doesn’t make the rankings. The national team here plays in international tournaments. Sure they get trounced by teams like Germany and Netherlands, but they do okay in the B division. They are also quite competitive against Sweden and Norway. Further the club championship team (Espoo Expos) does pretty decently in the European tournaments. Now, as an American I recognize the extreme difference between the talent here and back home, but I can’t help wondering why they aren’t even at the bottom of the list. Perhaps the national team has to play in the A divisions to qualify.

Oh, ha! Thanks for asking. I ended up not getting to really try much as the conference got a bit hectic and my schedule was more limited than I thought it would be. All my lunches were at the Prudential center food court (basically different chowders from whatever that chain is there). The first night I went out with some old friends to a place in the North End where they live. It is called Euno. I had a grilled Sea Bass on a bed of risotto. The sea bass was excellent, the risotto was pretty gummy. I would go back and get a non-risotto item though. The second night I went to a Legal Seafoods with some colleagues, had a lobster roll, which was good, not fantastic, a bit too much mayonnaise and celery for my liking. Plus, the bread was so bland. Third night went to Skipjacks on Copley with some other colleagues. We were a primarily German speaking table and the waiter served us in German, which impressed us all. The food was good. I again had a lobster roll, which was fantastic. Far less mayo with just enough seasoning to make the lobster pop. The bread was also incredibly fresh. The fourth night I went to a small bar/restaurant with some old friends called Max and Dylans, near Suffolk University. I had, wait for it, a lobster roll, which was the best and cheapest of the bunch. The most lobster, and seasoned to perfection. The fries were also great there. My last night in town I grabbed a burger at some Irish bar that I cant recall. I ordered medium rare, got a brown burger, ’nuff said. Probably more than you were looking for Malcolm, but thanks for asking.
