6020. alistairConnor - 6/20/2008 10:20:29 PM well that's true. 6021. alistairConnor - 6/20/2008 10:23:40 PM Now that I no longer have a dog in the hunt, I'm enjoying the Euro much more.
Last night's quarter final, Portugal-Germany, was pure joy. Halfway through, I found myself regretting that one of these teams had to lose. It was the Portugeezers.
And now... the Turks are at the gates of Vienna. The siege is long and arduous. Turkey 0-0 Croatia at full time. Extra time, the players are dead on their feet. Croatia score five minutes from the end. And Turkey equalise in the final seconds...
They are setting up for the penalty shoot-out now.
It lacks the quality of last night's match, but it's very spirited. 6022. jexster - 6/22/2008 12:23:32 AM Jexie's SportsMAN of the Week

Too bad there's nothing to see on the field. Not even when there's game. Especially not then 6039. wabbit - 7/1/2008 3:26:37 PM  James Shields scattered five hits over 6 1-3 innings and B.J. Upton and Gabe Gross homered, helping the Rays remain unbeaten at home against the Red Sox with a 5-4 victory that hiked their lead to 1 1/2 games in the division. The Rays (50-32), surprising owners of the best record in baseball, have won six of seven and shrugged off a six-game losing streak to Boston, which is 6-0 against Tampa Bay at Fenway Park but 0-4 at Tropicana Field. It was the first meeting between the combative division rivals since their much talked about June 5 benches-clearing brawl at Fenway that led to the suspensions of eight players, including Shields (6-5). Both managers said beforehand that they didn't anticipate any carryover from the melee that ensued after Shields hit Coco Crisp in the leg with a pitch during the second inning of a 7-1 Tampa Bay loss.
9-year-old Darren Baker, son of Reds manager Dusty Baker, playfully called Ken Griffey Jr. old on Monday, then watched the 38-year-old outfielder end the game with a swing that was as sweet as ever. His two-run shot - the 603rd of his career - sent Cincinnati to a 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The fifth game-ending homer of Griffey's career decided a matchup of the NL Central's bottom two teams. It also suggested he's far from over-the-hill, regardless of what the manager's son thinks. Griffey connected off Matt Capps (1-3), who started the ninth with a 3-2 lead and gave it away in only six pitches. David Ross opened with a double to deep center that brought up Griffey, who got into the game as a defensive replacement in the ninth. Griffey was out of the starting lineup, getting some rest with left-hander Paul Maholm starting for Pittsburgh. He had some fun with it before the game, jokingly asking Baker's son why he wasn't playing. Darren Baker's answer: "You can't hit lefties, and you're old!" Griffey laughed. He also got the last laugh by connecting on Capps' changeup for his third homer off a left-hander this season. Griffey was batting only .200 against lefties, one of the reasons he sat until the ninth.
