Saturday, June 14th, 2008 - "If you are not from Lesbos..."

Had to go a little off the typical sports path for the pic today, because, well, it is too good not to immortalize...Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella has contemplated using Carlos Zambrano (.900 OPS) as his DH in interleague trips to Toronto and Tampa Bay...somehow, FHM managed to get a picture of Ana Ivanovic in which she wasn't pumping her fist...there are more than a few Euro 2008 participants whose WAGs - wives and girflriends - are way, way out of their leagues. Here are your starting 11...Toronto FC host Colorado in what should be an over the top crowd, what with nice weather and a rare Saturday night kickoff. Coverage is on SportsNet at 7pm. Tune in, help push the viewership past 100,000. Brian Edwards is starting in goal for the Reds...Lex Ovech got a key to the city in Washington for his MVP win. In his speech, he declared there was no longer a speed limit in Washington. You've gotta love Ovechkin...Evegeni Malkin, whom Pau Gasol is emulating for disappearing in the final, is about to sign an extension with the Pens that will pay him $9 million per, or more than Sidney Crosby...Peter DeBoer is the new Florida Panthers head coach, making him the third coaching hire this week alongside Ron Wilson (Toronto) and Craig Hartsburg (Ottawa)...Tiger Woods is lurking at the U.S. Open, shooting 30 on the back 9 to get within a shot of the lead...no joke: TSN's Darren Dutyschen referred to Portugal as "Pork Chop" before correcting himself...if you're a fan at all of sport, but not of soccer, you cannot possibly watch Holland and not be blown away by what they're doing in attack at the Euros, smoking the World Cup Champion Italy and finalist France back to back. 4-1 over France yesterday. Gonna be an interesting last day in the Group of Death, as Holland could well rest most of their key guys which could see Romania go through if they beat the Dutch after Romania tied Italy yesterday and sitting ahead of the Italians on goal differential. Most would have had Italy and France going through when the tourney started...tough day in the the Euro account - based on a $100 wager per game on the money line at Pinnacle - which now sits at +$111 on a 7-7 record after a 0-2 day yesterday. Back to winning form today with Spain (-153) to down Sweden in what should be a thriller, and Russia (+113) to down the uninspiring Greeks...two games over .500 for the Yankees, Kyle Farnsworthless got the save, and Derek Jeter homered? Strange days, indeed...have a great Saturday.

I had Holland going through along with France but not even I could predict that they'd come out the gate looking like this...especially with all the injuries.

I had hoped they would as Holland has always been my second fav team (well, really with England) simply for how entertaining they play and I fell in love with them in the days of Gullit/Van Basten/Rijkaard.

I thought they could be something special when they went to Croatia in March (think it was March) and DOMINATED Croatia in Split 3-0. Sneijder was a star there and clearly, that has carried over. Van Basten and Van Nistelrooy getting over themselves is clearly helping too.

You working BMO tonight?

Unfortunatly yes.. I have a hard time working 5 hours let alone 8-4's all week. Going to make a strong drink that should knock me out on the Go Train...I'm such a great employee.

We're there for gbvh's Bday tonight (in addition to always going, of course) so things could get ugly. Stop by if you get a chance, you know where to find us apparently.

unfortunately I will be unable to help push the Toronto FC viewership over 100 viewers as I have more pressing matters at hand. I am having my back hair manscaped at a local salon.

No mention of Marko Jaric pulling off the unbelievable, and bagging Adriana Lima permanently? How he did this is beyond me because he cannot possibly make more than she does.
