Paul Oberjuerge:Translator, Please
Curling is bizarre, with a terminology all its own. This isn't the worst example, by far, but I just got this out of my e-mail inbox.
USA’s Pete Fenson rink squashed Sean Becker’s New Zealand team, 10-4, in eight ends Wednesday afternoon to improve to 2-1.
The U.S. men jumped out to a 7-2 lead after six ends. New Zealand got back on the scoreboard with another deuce in the seventh but couldn’t keep the Americans off the scoreboard as Fenson chipped out New Zealand’s count rock with his last stone to lay three, prompting New Zealand to offer the handshake to end the game.
Did you all get that? Good.
