Esta madrugada se ha celebrado el último partido de la Serie Mundial de béisbol. La verdad es que este deporte no deja de ser curioso. No sólo porque en esta competición participen equipos estadounidenses, a pesar de llamarse mundial; sino porque tiene una cantidad de variables y posibilidades que distan mucho de los deportes a los que estoy acostumbrado.
He de reconocer que, cuando éramos chiquititos, mis amigos y yo lo practicábamos de aquella manera en innumerables descampados sureños con brisa marina y olor a eucalipto. Ahora todo huele a cemento barato vendido a precio de mansión de cinco metros cuadrados, pero ésa es otra historia.
Mis ojos asisten perplejos a tantos detalles que me gustaría que los juegos durasen más. Esto sí que es afición. Los estadios están completamente llenos, dando igual que sea martes que jueves que domingo o todos los días a la vez, allí no cabe un alma. Las luchas que tienen en la grada por agarrar las bolas son dignas de ver. Tal es mi grado de gozo, que disfruto hasta con los anuncios que ponen en las retransmisiones. Quizás sea porque Apple y Windows se enfrentan sin tapujos o porque tan sólo se ven coches y móviles de última generación. Mi favorito es uno de American Express, me gusta el tratamiento de las imágenes, aunque dejando a Bach y sin voz en off, sería perfecto.
Y es que en términos de show y publicidad estos americanos saben lo que hacen. Tanto es así que utilizan una publicidad subliminal sin precedentes. Cuando finalizó el primer partido que vi, de repente me encontré mascando chicle y mirando una revista de jardinería. Estaba tan absorto, que me costó entrar en razón. Pero entré: “¿Qué carajo hago yo buscando aspersores último modelo si ni siquiera tengo casa?”. Anoche lo comprendí todo:
El pitcher observa con ojos amenazantes. La sombra que provoca su gorra dota de más suspense la expresión de su cara. Escupe. Mira a un lado y comprueba que el de la base uno no se mueve. Escupe de nuevo y endereza su mirada al frente. Menea la boca rumiante. El que se dispone a batear espera impaciente. Escupe. Zarandea el bate. Vuelve a escupir. Strike uno. Plano detalle del gargajillo del entrenador que a su vez queda asombrado con lo que acaba de salir de la boca del jugador que tiene a su derecha. Strike dos.
Los Yankees han ganado la Serie Mundial, yo he batido mi propio record de mascar tres Bloomerg Kilómetricos al mismo tiempo y he acabado comprándome un aspersor por 75 dólares… y es que hay que ser previsor. Menos mal que Marilyn tenía algo de más de clase… digo yo.

Miami, 5th of November, 2009.- The last match of the Baseball World Series was played tonight and I must say that this sport is quite curious. Not only because in this competition there are only American teams, even thought it´s called World Series; also because it has lots of possibilities, more than the sports I´m used to watching.
I have to recognize that, when we were little kids, I used to play it with my friends in those southern Spanish fields, with the sea breeze and eucalyptus smell. Now everything smells like cheap cement sold as mansions of 5 m2. That´s why I guess its better to speak about how curious baseball is nowadays.
I´ve seen so many details, that I whish those games would last a little more. The stadiums are so full of people… it doesn´t matter if its Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday or all the days at the same time, there isn´t any room for any one else. I enjoy so much that even the advertisements are attractive for me. Maybe it´s because Apple and Windows are able to fight with total lack of consideration or because cars and last generation cell phones are the main characters. My favourite is the American Express one, I like the treatment of the images even though I would take out the voice on off leaving Bach and his extraordinary melody.
We all know that in shows and advertisements Americans are the best. They are also incredible in their subliminal messages. When the first match I watched ended, I suddenly found myself chewing a gum and reading a gardening magazine. I said to myself: “What the hell am I doing searching for sprinklers if I don´t even have a house?”. Yesterday I understood everything:
The pitcher is looking with threatening eyes. The shadow of his cap gives more thrill to his face. He splits. Looks at his right side and checks nobody is mooving in first base. Spits again and focus his eyes in the front. He moves his mouth as a rumiant. The batter waits impaciently. Spits. Moves the bat. Spits again. Strike one. Suddenly we can see a gob coming from the trainer who, at the same time, is astonished with the thing that just went out from one of his team members´ mouth. Strike two.
The Yankies have won the World Series, I have broken my own record of chewing three kilometres of strawberry gum in one time and I´ve ended up buying a sprinkler of 75 dollars ( just want to be farsighted) Good that Marilyn had much more class… I guess.

“Jones is going to be a phenomenal player,” said Sir Alex Ferguson of his utility man in April 2013. “I have no idea where his best position is. He could play anywhere on the pitch. But he will be one of the best players we have ever had.” Brushing past the Scot’s last sentence, Ferguson touches upon both Jones’ biggest strength and most potent weakness: Now 23, we still have no idea where his best position actually
Under a man who believes a giant central midfielder and a slight winger can provide back-up to his lone striker, it might actually be the bench. Jones was restricted to just 23 starts in all competitions under Louis van Gaal last season; he is currently suffering from his fifth injury under the Dutchman’s tenure. Upon his return, the Blackburn man will find himself behind midfielder Daley Blind in the central defensive pecking order. Not long ago, Jones was considered Chris Smalling’s superior. Said opinion would elicit roaring laughter now, with Jones regressing as Smalling continues to develop.
Jones’ is a situation we will only fully understand when both he and central defensive compatriot Marcos Rojo return from their respective injuries. One will be the first-choice back-up; the other demoted further. Considering Van Gaal signed Rojo himself, the England international may not fancy his own chances.

Five symptoms can indicate when someone is having a heart attack and requires immediate emergency care. These include pain in the jaw, neck or back; pain in the arms or shoulder; chest pain; lightheadedness or weakness; and shortness of breath, Phillips said.
Heart disease symptoms may differ for men and women, according to the Mayo Clinic. Men are more likely to have chest pain, while women are more likely to have shortness of breath, nausea and extreme fatigue.
A number of factors play a role in heart disease risk. Some include family history and age (if your relatives have heart disease or you are older, your risk goes up), but others you have more control over.
Much of the advice to avoid heart disease is the same health advice given for other conditions: stop smoking, exercise and eat a diet that is low in cholesterol and salt — cholesterol being the source of blockage and salt contributing to higher blood pressure. Other things to avoid in the diet include saturated fats, which typically come from animal fats and oils, and trans fats, which occur in vegetable oil, but have largely been removed from the marketplace because of consumer demand.
According to the NIH, diabetes can increase heart disease risk by as much as 100 percent, as the higher levels of glucose in the blood that are characteristic of diabetes can leave fatty deposits in blood vessels, which, like cholesterol plaques, can cause blockage of the heart.

In other words, “anything that blocks the vessel,” said Lawrence Phillips, a cardiologist and assistant professor at NYU Langone Medical Center, in New York.
Ultimately, the narrowing can build up enough to cause chest pain and shortness of breath — called angina, or it can block the vessel completely, causing a heart attack. Heart attacks can also be caused by the rupture of a plaque that causes a blockage of the blood vessels, Phillips said. Over 1 million Americans suffer heart attacks each year, according to the American Heart Association.
Another cause of heart disease is an arrhythmia, a condition where the heart beats too quickly (tachycardia), too slowly (bradycardia) or irregularly. Symptoms can include a fluttering feeling in the chest, racing heartbeat, slow heartbeat, chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, dizziness, fainting (syncope) or near fainting, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Heart disease may also be caused by problems a person is born with, known as congenital heart defects. Symptoms of heart defects in children can include pale gray or blue skin (cyanosis), swelling in the legs, abdomen or around the eyes, and shortness of breath during feeding in infants (causing poor weight gain), according to the Mayo Clinic.
Less serious congenital heart defects may not be diagnosed until late childhood or adulthood. These defects are not immediately life threatening, and symptoms include becoming short of breath or tired easily during exercise or activity, as well as swelling in the hands, ankles or feet.
Other forms of heart disease can be caused by weak heart muscle, heart infections, or diseases of the heart valves.

In addition to lifestyle changes, some treatments are available to help avoid heart disease. Many of these medications are designed to lower cholesterol.
There are two types of cholesterol. The first, LDL, is called “bad cholesterol” because it is the type that can build up and block blood vessels. The other, HDL, is called “good cholesterol” because it is responsible for transporting LDL to the liver, ultimately removing it from the blood stream.
Optimally, HDL cholesterol levels should be above 40 (measured in milligrams per deciliter of blood) and LDL cholesterol should be below 100, according to the CDC.
The FDA has approved a number of drugs for improving cholesterol levels. Perhaps the best-known are statins. They slow cholesterol production by the liver and speed up how fast it removed LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream.
Another class of drug to lower cholesterol is called bile acid sequestrants. These drugs remove bile acids from the body. Because the body produces these acids from LDL cholesterol, more LDL cholesterol will be broken down to replace them.
Niacin and fibrates are other drug classes for improving cholesterol levels. Both increase HDL cholesterol, and niacin lowers LDL cholesterol.
