Australians are less cultured Americans who retained a basterdized version of the English accent. You have to expect that from them

Lots of people, including the English, think its closer to an American accent than received pronunciation. I tend to agree.

Aussies call their friends c-unts.

The Chicago White Sox had four All-Stars make the trip to Denver for the annual Midsummer classic. Of the four players, only three of them got to play in the game and Tim Anderson was the only American League position player not to get an at-bat in the game.

Lance Lynn entered the game in the second inning and threw a scoreless inning that included a strikeout. Liam Hendriks was given the ball in the ninth inning to lock down a 5-2 victory. He did just that and earned the save. Carlos Rodón opted not to pitch unless ‘absolutely necessary’ because he wanted to rest up and save his arm for the second half of the season.

“The only guy I’m sick to my stomach about is Tim Anderson,” Kevin Cash told reporters after the game. “He played two innings on defense and we left him stranded on deck.”

According to LaMond Pope when asked if he wished he would have gotten an at-bat, Anderson said: “for sure.” He then laughed and added “but it’s all good. Kevin, I’ll see him in Tampa, so I’ll take it out on him then.”
