Is England Out?

This World Cup is certainly not going by the script. Serbia beat Germany on Friday and then England played Algeria to a draw. The chances of world powerhouse France not advancing to the 2nd round are strong and they could be joined by England who needs a big effort against a Slovenian team that gave the U-S everything they could handle and then some in tying them at 2--albeit the US really should have won, but didn't thanks to a bad call. We have seen Spain get beat, Brazil look less than tremendous, France and England are on the precipice of elimination and the Germans have tasted defeat. The round of 16 will be interesting. I really have to sit down and watch some of the WC this weekend. I've been watching games at night on CBC, but when you know what the final is, its tough to watch.

One team that isn't tough to watch these days are the Regina Red Sox. They took both ends of a doubleheader in Melville Friday night meaning they are 10-1 on the season. Saskatoon will visit Currie Field Saturday night with Weyburn coming to town Sunday afternoon. Regina baseball fans need to start taking note of this team and head out to the ballpark. I keep telling you that this team provides a solid night's entertainment and when they are 1o-1, you know they are good so head out to Currie this weekend and check them out. Maybe see if Dad wants to go!

The wife and I went to Sex and the City 2. Who was the nanny? Watching the first few minutes of that movie reminded me of a former co-worker!

My thoughts are with the people in Maple Creek and southwestern Saskatchewan who are feeling the effects of this rain. It does not look good there. It will be a long time before things get back to normal, but here's hoping that is sooner than later.

Mike Weir contends after one round and then blows up. In other news, the sky is blue!

He's just not the same Tiger Woods anymore is he? Is it the neck or is it the fact his world is no longer what it used to be?

Has anyone figured out the Halak trade yet? Is there any truth to the Halak to San Jose for Pavelski rumour. If there is, why didn't that trade happen?

Is Ryan Johnson going to play for the Riders on Sunday? I'll have to listen to Rod to find out.

When will I be able to watch wunderkid Stephen Strasburg pitch? I may have to head to the 4 Seasons or Press Box next week to watch this kid.

I think the next week will be very interesting as the NHL draft gets closer. I think there will be a lot of teams trying to make some moves and some big name players might have new homes. Can I start the Josh Harding to Edmonton campaign again? Whether it be Edmonton or not, I hope the former Pats goalie does get dealt so he can be a number one guy somewhere. His time is now!

Have a great weekend!
