I just don't want it to get deleted.

The World baseball classic came and went. I thought it was a real awsome spectacle. Not as big as the Olypmics, but a much better tournament than I ever expected. One thing that made it sooo great was that JAPAN WON!!!! After losing twice (in super close games) to Korea diminished my hopes of a title, but when the US lost to Mexico I knew we had a chance. The crowds and venues were amazing as well. Maybe not the first rounds here, but in Tokyo when Japan played Korea, and practically every game in Puerto Rico the atmosphere was electrifying. And then final rounds in Cali. People thought it would be a bust, like steinbrener but it was amazing.

The Legendary Sadaharu Oh!!!




NOw its time for the M's to kick but!

I HAte it so much when they run reals on espn or king5 on who won what in the olympics before they air on tv, or I go to espn.com and theres a huge post saying "oh no Ohno slips". gheyyy. Before I watched I already knew ohno fell at one point in his road to defend his 1500m gold, and shawn and kass won medals, but I didn't WANT TO KNOW THISS.  I mean why show who wins on king5 before they even show the event.
But the first weekend was real tite. awsomeness to curt hedrick and shawn white and danny kass for thier medals. I feel bad for michelle kwan and apallo ono though, especially for kwan... shes cool, and i wanted to watch her skate And ono was sooo close to the finish to make it to the finals.

But the surprises and stories are the things that make the olympics, and I love the olympics, i hope they don't mess up my studying to much
