“I still can’t believe it. I was playing great and he was playing great too. That was the biggest win for me,” beamed the 18-year-old, who collapsed on to his back after sealing victory.

Great victory over the fourth-ranked player in the world, David Ferrer. Keep up the great work,…

Quality win against a high-caliber team by Matsuzaka. He pounded the strike zone and was extremely efficient (104 pitches in 8 complete innings) and allowed only 2 hits and 2 walks. A rotation of Lester, Dice-K, Wakefield, and Byrd does has a good shot at making a strong push towards…

Nice comment:

imgold,

It wasn't until the USA played Japan for the third time did they eventually lose.

Why is it so difficult to win against a team three times? I see it all the time in sports. Heck, baseball teams do it and thus they call it a "sweep", hence the…

In particular, you should reader the many comments from Americans all across the nation. It seems that it was all about money and politics. True, there were a lot of coverage of Chinese athletes, but very little in…

ingold,

The US beat Japan 7-0 on August 15th. They played again in the semifinals August 20th with the USA winning again 4-1. It wasn't until the USA played Japan for the third time did they eventually lose.

The quirky party of this London Olympics handover was much better than all the fake effects of the Beijing Olympics version.

All in all, I'm sure the coverage of the London Olympics will be much better. Maybe it's best to go to London in person, since that is the only…

Will they have cute singers at the opening ceremony?

I caught the Olympics back home, but just got disgusted by NBC's biased coverage of the games. They were obviously paid off by someone to show events where only Americans, and some Chinese were competing in. The only real glimpse I saw of some other countries was a video of…
