Well, The Red Sox really just killed me today. You know how it is, one moment your doing fantastic, nothing could be better. The next moment you are laying in a shady motel bath tub full of ice missing a kidney. Never happened to you? Just wait. Sox had a 2 - 1 lead going into the 8th where once again, Hideki Okajima squanders up 2 runs. Seattle adds another, ex Red Sox stiff David Aardsma comes in and shuts the door for the save. This is horrific. I mean the Mariners are 30th in the league in AVG. at .235. It is only that high because Ichiro hits .308. Ichiro did not have a hit in todays game, 0 - 5, and the Sox still gave up 11 hits.

We’ve all seen the YouTube videos posted on Facebook featuring Americans crowded around a television at a local bar during the wee hours of the morning, drinking cold beers, and anticipating a win from our beloved USA team. We’ve seen the reactions on their faces captured and combined to highlight the exhilarating feelings that accompany a goal or a heart-breaking off-sides call. Either way the World Cup has been the focus of the world this summer. Everywhere you go a television is set up so a quick glance at the score can be taken or every single pass can be seen.
