epic
Today I watched the most epic Wimbledon final, perhaps even overall match, that I have ever seen. It rivals the time Agassi came back from 2 sets down to win the French Open some time in the 90's. I remember that day: we watched a bit that morning, then left for church, then came back several hours later to find they were still at it. Nadal won on a day full of drama, darkness, rain, tears, winners, long rallies, and class. Nadal's backhand beat Federer's forehand. It was the longest championship match ever at 4 hours and 48 minutes, and the only Wimbledon final to ever go past 9 p.m. Epic, indeed.
I'm realizing that my blog is worth only the frequency of my entries. So I'm going to try to blog more. Even if every entry is about sports.

sunday baseball
The only thing worse than watching the St. Louis Cardinals lose to the despicable Braves is listening to it from another room in the house. Especially when it's our best pitcher against some no-namer. Ugh, sometimes it's hard being a fan.
EDIT 5 pm: I take that way back: After a frustrating game, the Cardinals loaded thebases in the bottom of the ninth for David Eckstein to hit a game and series-winning grand slam, giving the Cards 70 wins. Baseball is a beautiful thing.
