Upon Further Review

While we all patiently wait for Frangos to post yesterday’s soccer goals, here’s what else was going on:

Day one of Wimbledon was pretty much rained out. Who knew it ever rained in England? Roger Federer was winning against the guy who’s been referred to as feisty more times than necessary.
Your winners in the World Cup: Italy and Ukraine. Guess which team won on a controversial penalty kick? Yeah, those guys.
Papi Ortiz had the game winning RBI for the Red Sox over the Phillies. The Sometimes Big Unit was good as the Yanks beat the Braves (shocker). Derrick Lee came back and the Cubs lost again. The Tigers never lose.
The crazy minor league manager got a seven game suspension. Well worth it, I say.
They need a mercy rule in golf. The Booz Allen tourney was again postponed on Monday. Ben Curtis leads by 7 shots with 2 holes to play. Just end it already. Fun Fact: Ben Curtis hates the Steelers.
Isiah Thomas has one year to turn around the Knicks. I think Barbaro has a better chance of winning next year’s Kentucky Derby.
PING! Oregon State won the college world series over North Carolina. The very un-college baseball like score of 3-2 gave the Beavers the title. SI says they are the first ‘truly’ northern team to win since 1966, what the hell does that mean? Have some southern squads been falsifying their location to get some publicity? Well phooey on those teams, can’t pull one past SI.
More proof that Boston fans can be pretty stupid. They actually believed a rumor that they were going to get Allen Iverson while only giving up Wally Szczerbiak. But don’t worry, the Jazz were going to add blind guy backstabber Carlos Boozer to make it all work out. Hey Boston, I’m hearing that the Marlins are about to deal Miguel Cabrera to da SOX for David Wells, spread the word.
