Couldn't find a solid sports related picture for today, so went with the SunShine Girl. Hope you dig...I've watched a lot of sporting events in my time and had some feelings on who might win a game here or there. But never, EVER have I been more sure of the conclusion of a game than today's first Euro 2008 semi-final. Germany wins (-221), and there's not even a doubt in my mind of it. Turkey is depleted with injuries and cards to the extent their third string keeper could take to the field if needed because of further injury. They're in trouble. Cinderella's time is up, starting at 2:45 Eastern. The record stands at 13-15 (-$88). Drop your caish at Pinnacle, and enjoy. For the record, Croatia would've beat Germany today and that kills me still thinking about it...Real Madrid are feeling confident they'll pick up Cristiano Ronaldo on July 7th. Clever. 7/7 for #7. I can see the t-shirt already. It's so thin it is transparent...the New York Post says three squads are in the hunt for Toronto Raptor T.J. Ford. The Knicks (Eddy Curry or Zach Randolph), Pacers (Jermaine O'Neal) and Suns (Boris Diaw) have had some conversation with the Raptors...one more symbol of the Toronto Maple Leafs mismanagement - Darcy Tucker - will disappear, thanks to a buyout. Kyle Welwood and Andrew Raycrap are on the outs too. Now they need to fix that Bryan McCabe problem. Predition? Last place for the Leafs this year. And that's a good thing, albeit months too late. Had they cleaned house at the trade deadline, they might have set themselves up for a bevy of draft picks in this past weekends draft...the CHL player of the year - Justin Azevedo of the Kitchener Rangers - was finally drafted. The LA Kings took him 153rd, in the 6th round...could Anthony Parker and Carlo Delfino of the Raptors be Europe bound? Somehow, I can't see it happening...have to believe if there are going to be some NBA troop movements, they ought to heat up today with the draft coming tomorrow...loved Motley Crue on David Letterman last night, placing a bunch of strippers on stage just sitting there on monitors, drum risers and so on...no Daily Burn from Jim Rome today, so we'll throw in a little Headlines from PTI instead...have a great Wednesday.

another factor --> turkey just ain't that good.
saw some of letterman but had to turn the channel because of his pathetic and not funny drooling over that charlize theron gal.
I missed Charlize and am sour over that.
13-16?
Turkey with a well deserved lead so far. That one shot after 13 min deserved better so I'm happy they managed to get one, ugly as it was a few min later.
Germany wins. Not quite deserved. Turkey and Russia have definitively made this Euro one of the best in history.
Followed the last minutes from the commentators cellphone, the TV outage definitively the (small) scratch in a perfect Euro so far.
Great game, Germany played well second half.
I'm all hammered from Strawberry Daquiris.
turkey shoulda/coulda been up at the half. kudos for controlling the game and going for it. but then they went tame in the second.
have yet to see one great performance from this german team.
germany need to fix horrible defence. turkey almost did it again. i hope russian defence will play strong game. all what russians need to do it is keep coming and pushing. spain soccer season is over, they cant play high tempo game for 90 minutes. it was obvious today that turkey run out of gas at the end of the game with no players left to sub and turkey goalie did 2 horrible mistakes. i will be glad to see all spain upset and be prepare for good final game. go russians.
P.S. remember everybody - guus hiddick was coach of real madrid, old guus knows how to beat spanish guys, expect some magic from him again.
