Viva España!

First, Spain wins the UEFA Cup. Then Nadal beats Federer for the Wimbledon championship. Now another Spaniard, Carlos Sastre, wins the Tour de France. Tapas and rioja for everyone!

It was a bummer that the Angels lost today. Me thinks they might have been looking ahead to their next three against Boston, and the following four against the Yankees. It's not a big deal. They won 2 of 3 in Baltimore, still have a huge 10.5 game lead in the west and the best record in the bigs leagues. If they can win 3 or 4 of the remaining 7 games, they'll be in good shape. They'll be done with Boston and have New York coming to town next weekend. I think they measure up well against them, especially the Yankees. Playing Boston in the playoffs (again) give me a baaaaaaaaaad feeling.
