  Sport (that's what the British call it)
The US lost the opening game of it's World Cup warmup series, vs. Morocco.  Not a big deal really, Moroccans scored in the final minute, and they're a pretty good team...plus the US wasn't necessarily playing to win, but more was transitioning out of training mode into game mode. BUT that's not a good way to start...and the worst thing to come out of the game: another injury for Claudio Reyna.  He tweaked his hamstring apparently, nothing major, but as good as he is this guy just can't stay healthy.  How can they beat the Czechs and Italians with him on the bench? 
By the way, I didn't see the game so perhaps I shouldn't even comment.  I will, however, see them in person in Hartford on Sunday night in their final game before the Cup - definitely hoping for a better result.

In other sports news, Carlos Beltran rocked a home run in the 16th (SIXTEENTH!) inning to win a key divisional series opener vs. the Phillies for the Mets last night.  I guess that's 25 billion (or whatever his contract is) well spent. 

Also, that horse got hurt.  Not to show myself for the heartless bastard I am, but who cares?  We have our nation's finest dying daily in a completely pointless quagmire of a war in Iraq, and people freak out that a horse almost died? Wtf?
